Summit Mosquito & Gnat Barrier Concentrate
Summit Mosquito and Gnat Barrier Concentrate is a high-quality liquid insecticide that treats a wide variety of insects, such as ants or fleas, around your home, yard, and plants. Its long-lasting residual is four weeks.
Summit Mosquito and Gnat Barrier Concentrate, manufactured by Summit Chemical, is a liquid concentrate used to control persistent outdoor pests in trees, shrubs, cool-season grasses, and warm-season grasses.
This product's main active ingredient, permethrin 2.5%, provides quick elimination of insects and long-lasting control, allowing you to enjoy outdoor areas surrounding your home without the disturbance of biting pests such as mosquitoes.
Summit Mosquito and Gnat Barrier Concentrate is a convenient and easy-to-use insecticide that can reduce the chances of encountering harmful diseases from pests such as deer ticks, which carry Lyme Disease.
Tools Needed
You will need a hose-end sprayer or handheld pump sprayer. A handheld pump sprayer is recommended to lessen drift during application and quickly treat cracks and crevices. For hose-end sprayer applications, you will need a spray container to attach to the garden hose.
Not for use in outdoor residential misting systems.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Summit Mosquito and Gnat Barrier Concentrate to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To find this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet and multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For tank sprayers, mix 1.28 oz. of Summit Mosquito and Gnat Barrier Concentrate per 1 gallon of water.
- Step 2: Fill your handheld pump sprayer with half the water, add the measured amount of Summit Mosquito and Gnat Barrier, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Secure the lid to the spray tank and shake to ensure an even mixture.
- Step 3: Adjust the spray tank nozzle to produce a fan-spray setting to avoid drift. Spray the top and bottom of the leaves until the point of runoff. When spraying outdoor building surfaces, do not go past 3 feet in height. Repeat applications as re-infestations occur.
Where to Use
Summit Mosquito and Gnat Barrier Concentrate is meant to treat lawns (containing Bent, Bermuda, bluegrass, dichondra, fescue, Irish moss, Merion, St. Augustine), trees and shrubs such as Arizona cypress, azalea, birch, non-bearing citrus, conifers, elm, English ivy, euonymus, weeping fig, fir, poinsettia, tulip poplar, rhododendron, Taxus, Cherry, Honeysuckle, Conifers, Douglas and Grand Firs, oak, pine, and around door and window frames, porches, screens, eaves, patios, garages, refuse dumps, and other areas where insects may land or congregate around the home.

When to Use
