I've been consistently achieving 60 days of control. This year we had a month of rain almost every day and it did affect the application (only got 30 days out of it) but any product would have washed away in those conditions.
I live on roughly 20,000 sq ft; and I'm finding the label to be difficult.... At 1600sq ft of coverage per gallon does 12.5 gallons sound like the right amount of product (if i mix at 0.65oz)? And is a backpack fogger the preferred method of application? Your channel has been a great help regarding scion, i bought it and haven't had success yet. I think my rates mixtures were wrong, but i was concerned i bought a bad product.😅
I apply 1 gallon per 1,000sqft @.65 fl oz/gallon (or .65floz/1,000sqft). At 1,600sqft you are stretching the product. This all depends on what insect you are trying to control. Turf and ornamental rates are different than mosquito/tick/perimeter applications. If you were treating 1 gal/1,000sqft you would need 13oz of product per 20 gallons. I use a mist blower, skid sprayer, or backpack depending on the site.
Going to give this a try this weekend. Small property ( .3 arces) but has a channel in the back which has been proven to be a great breeding ground. I normally use Surface-AC with Talstar-P, I'm assuming it's no different with Scion?
Im currently using this at my own home as a test and at the low rate of .33 per gallon i was able to get about 35 days. Going to try to the high rate with mgk nyguard IGR 12ML
I have surpassed 75 days since my application and just now I can see some flying around where it's a nuisance. I also run high rate .65floz/gal and Nixlo IGR at 4ml/gal. Works amazing.
Lots to unpack here. Properties? Standing water? Rain? What was treated? How much property do they have? Did a hatch occur? Was a sticker used? We have had callbacks that were completely unwarranted. I did an arm test for 30 minutes during peak activity and saw 3 mosquitoes in 30 minutes. They had a larger property and about a quarter acre pond as a breeding ground. Call out the call backs. Also, a hatch could have very well occurred after application. In this instance, I tell clients to wait a few days as the newly hatched mosquitoes will need time to come into contact with the insecticide.
@@ElevateApplicate Scion Insecticide, which contains Gamma-cyhalothrin, has received mixed reviews from users. Here are some potential drawbacks and reasons why it might not work well for everyone: Limited Effectiveness on Certain Pests: While Scion Insecticide is effective against a range of pests like ants, mosquitoes, and spiders, it may not be as effective on other pests such as bedbugs or fleas. Environmental Concerns: The active ingredient, Gamma-cyhalothrin, is a synthetic pyrethroid, which can be harmful to non-target insects, aquatic life, and beneficial insects like bees2. Application Challenges: Proper application is crucial for effectiveness. If not applied correctly, the insecticide may not reach the target pests or may not provide long-lasting control. Residual Control: While Scion Insecticide offers up to 90 days of residual control, some users have reported needing to reapply sooner than expected, especially in high-traffic areas or extreme conditions. Restrictions: Scion Insecticide is not suitable for use in areas where animals (except cattle and calves) are present, and it should not be applied to animal feed, water, or watering equipment. Cost: Some users feel that the cost of Scion Insecticide is relatively high compared to other pest control products on the market. Safety Concerns: As with any pesticide, there are safety concerns for humans and pets if not used according to the label instructions. i like naturcide x2 I have almost no call backs but I use ipm and call out a ton of conducive conditions and harborage zones
I just got some today from my rep, my back yard is like yours so looking forward to see the results.

@@ElevateApplicate did you using any igr with those apps? I also applied tekko with mine. Had pretty good luck with Demand & acher but not 60 days.
Great video!
Thank you!

What is surface-AC? A sticker?
Also read the label. Scion requires a 25ft buffer from lakes, rivers, ponds, streams.

@@ElevateApplicate Nixlo is awesome.
Do you use a surfactant? I’ve never used one for mosquitoes, but curious if it helps
I use a sticker/rainfall agent/drift control additive in my mix.
@@ElevateApplicatewhat is the name of the sticker you use?
@ElevateApplicate do you have the names of those agents?
recently started using it instead of demand cs. and had 2 call backs already

It sucks
Scion sucks? Please elaborate on how you came to that conclusion.
I'm getting 60 days of control on mosquitoes from a single application.
