Re: Using sulfur in spray or powder: GREAT

[Guest guest]

Zoe,

Thanks so much for letting me know this.

I have almost lost all hope when I see these tiny specks on our doors.

Do you mind telling me how much it takes per acre or SF?

We have 10 acres and I know that we can't do all that but we may have to with

all the field mice.

Did you notice any other insects it helped with?

How long did it last?

Many Thanks,

I think Bonide is the brand we have but will need many bags.

i diluted the powder in water according to the directions on the container and

sprayed it everywhere outside until the surfaces outside turned yellow with

sulfur. I sprayed the hedge plants too... and the outside of the windows and

doors.

I let it dry and stay there for weeks and it worked well right away, Then i

resprayed when it wore off. I haven't sprayed outside all summer now and haven't

noticed a problem out there at all.

I wish I could spray the whole house, but it is dangerous if you breath it in

and gets chalky on the surface of things when it dries so it can get easily

airborn perhaps...
