Yates Possum Repellent Spray is a ready-to-use garden spray that discourages possums from browsing on your plants, supplied here in a 1L bottle for home gardens. It suits ornamental and edible plants alike, so you can protect roses, shrubs, vegies and fruit trees without mixing or measuring anything.About the formulaThe formulation was developed by Professor Lynne Selwood AO at the University of Melbourne and is protected by a patent. It combines pyrethrum, piperonyl butoxide and paraffin oil, and works by making sprayed foliage less appealing to possums rather than by harming them. Protection lasts for up to 7 days, or longer with regular re-treatment. There is only a 1 day withholding period on edible plants.Where to use itIndoors: not intended for indoor use.Outdoors: garden beds, vegetable patches, seedlings, ornamental shrubs, roses, magnolias, camellias, citrus and other fruit trees.Suitable for a wide range of garden plants. Plant varieties can differ in sensitivity, so test the spray on a few plants first to check how they respond.How to use itShake the bottle well before use. Spray plants thoroughly, paying particular attention to new growth, which possums find most appealing. Apply in the late afternoon or early evening, because most possum activity happens at night. Reapply about every 7 days and after rain. The interval can be stretched as possum behaviour changes.Important notesDo not pick edible plants for 1 day after spraying. Avoid spraying when shade temperatures are around 30°C or higher, or when the soil is dry and plants are stressed by lack of moisture. Try not to spray flower petals directly, as they may become marked. Do not spray directly on people, pets, exposed food, food preparation areas or utensils. Cover fish tanks before spraying, and keep spray and empty containers away from drains, sewers, streams and ponds. Use only as directed on the label.Specifications Brand Yates Product Possum Repellent Spray, Ready To Use Size 1L bottle Product code 55885 Form Ready-to-use liquid spray Ingredients Pyrethrum, piperonyl butoxide, paraffin oil Protection period Up to 7 days, reapply after rain Withholding period 1 day on edible plants Target Possums Use Outdoor garden use only SafetyUse with normal care: avoid contact with eyes and skin, avoid breathing in spray mist, and wear gloves and eye protection when spraying.

Yates Home Pest Ant & Nest Killer Gel Bait is a ready-to-use gel bait in a handy 10g syringe, made to deal with the whole ant colony rather than just the ants you can see. Worker ants feed on the sweet gel and carry it back to the nest, where it reaches the queen and the rest of the colony. It suits both indoor and outdoor ant problems around the home.About the formulaA professional-style gel bait that uses a sugar-based attractant to draw ants in. The active ingredient is indoxacarb at 0.5 g/kg. Because the bait is taken back to the nest and shared, it works on the colony itself, including the queen. Yates describes the formulation as the kind used in sensitive settings such as schools and hospitals. A single syringe gives up to 100 bait placements.Where to use itIndoors: along ant trails, near cracks and crevices, and in spots where ants are most active.Outdoors: around nest entrances and along trails the ants are following.Applied as small gel spots, so it can be placed exactly where the ants are working.How to use itFind the nest entrance, the ant trails or the places where ants are busiest. Remove the cap from the syringe and touch the nozzle to the surface. Lightly press the plunger to put down a gel spot about 5mm long. Aim for at least 1 to 3 spots per square metre around the nest entrance or along the trails. Put the cap back on after use. Once all the gel spots have been eaten and ants are still active, apply fresh spots.Important notesDo not place the bait in exposed areas where children, pets or other animals can reach it. Keep it away from food, pet food and their water. Do not let the gel or empty containers get into drains, sewers, streams or ponds. Do not apply to surfaces hotter than 50 degrees C, as the gel may soften and lose effectiveness. This product is intended for ants only.Specifications Brand Yates Product Home Pest Ant & Nest Killer Gel Bait Pack 1 x 10g syringe Form Gel bait Active ingredient Indoxacarb 0.5 g/kg Application Syringe, applied as small gel spots Coverage Up to 100 bait placements per syringe Target pest Ants Use Indoor and outdoor APVMA approval no. 87602 SafetyWash your hands after use and keep the bait away from food and drinking water.

Yates Home Pest Cockroach Killer Gel Bait is a ready-to-use gel bait that targets cockroaches in the home, supplied in a 10g syringe for neat, precise placement. A protein-based attractant draws cockroaches to the gel, and the slightly delayed action gives them time to carry it back to the harbourage so the bait can reach cockroaches you never see.About the formulaThe bait is a smooth gel with a protein-based attractant to make it appealing to foraging cockroaches. The active ingredient is indoxacarb. Because the effect is not instant, affected cockroaches return to their hiding spots and the bait is passed on to others they contact, which helps knock down the hidden part of the population. Yates states that it works on American and German cockroaches as well as other types, and that one syringe provides up to 100 bait placements.Where to use itIndoors: place small gel spots where cockroaches like to shelter and travel, such as under appliances and around sinks and pipes. Always choose spots that children and pets cannot reach.Outdoors: where outdoor use suits your situation, apply only in protected spots that children, pets and other animals cannot access, and keep the gel away from drains and waterways.How to use itRemove the cap from the end of the syringe, touch the nozzle to the surface and lightly press the plunger to dispense the gel. Apply 2 to 5 spots of about 5mm diameter per square metre. Use the higher rate for heavier infestations or when treating American cockroaches. Replace the cap after use.Important notesDo not apply gel to surfaces that food touches, and keep open food away from the gel. Do not apply it to surfaces that get hotter than 50 degrees C, such as parts of stoves, because the gel can soften and lose performance. Do not leave gel in exposed areas accessible to children or animals, and do not let the gel or empty packaging get into drains, sewers, streams or ponds.Specifications Brand Yates Product Home Pest Cockroach Killer Gel Bait Size 10g syringe Form Gel bait Active ingredient Indoxacarb Target pest Cockroaches (including American and German) Application Syringe, spot placement Application rate 2 to 5 spots of about 5mm per square metre Bait placements Up to 100 per syringe Maximum surface temperature 50 degrees C SafetyWash your hands after use. Keep the bait out of reach of children and pets at all times, and store the syringe in its closed, original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To dispose of the empty syringe, wrap it in paper, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the garbage. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.

No Mosquitoes Biting Midge & Mosquito Barrier is a concentrated residual insecticide for keeping mosquitoes and biting midges under control around the yard, and one 1L bottle makes up to 100L of ready-to-spray solution. It was developed by a professional mosquito control business for home use. It leaves a barrier on the surfaces where these insects rest and feed, so pests that land on treated areas keep being killed after the spray has dried.About the formulaA water-based concentrate with bifenthrin as the active ingredient, mixed with water before use. It is a non-repellent insecticide, meaning the insects are meant to land on the treated surface rather than be driven away. The manufacturer says it will not harm plants or grasses when used as directed, so it can go on ornamental plants, shrubs, hedges and lawn. The pack has a measure-and-pour bottle to make dosing easier. With a thorough application on a well-vegetated yard, control can last up to about 6 weeks. Biting midge areas near tidal water may need more frequent re-treatment.Where to use itIndoors: not intended for indoor use.Outdoors: shaded foliage, hedges, shrubs, grasses, fences and other outdoor surfaces in urban and semi-rural settings where mosquitoes and midges rest, as specified on the label.Suitable for both porous and non-porous outdoor surfaces. Always check the label for the full list of approved situations.How to use itRead the label first and put on the personal protective equipment it recommends. Mix the concentrate with water at the label rate, which is up to 10 mL per litre of water (100 mL per 10L). Spray harbourage areas thoroughly, covering both sides of leaves, until the surface is wet but just short of run-off. Spray in calm conditions and avoid open flowers. Let the treated area dry and observe the 1-hour re-entry period before using it again.Important notesDo not mix stronger than the label rate. A stronger mix does not work better and is not recommended. Not for use with thermal foggers or ULV application. Spray drift and rain before drying can reduce results, so pick a calm, dry day. Reapply when insects start to return, which is generally between 4 and 6 weeks.Specifications Brand No Mosquitoes Product Biting Midge & Mosquito Barrier Size 1L concentrate Active ingredient Bifenthrin 100 g/L Form Liquid concentrate (dilute with water) Target pests Mosquitoes and biting midges Makes Up to 100L of spray solution Coverage 100L covers about 1000 m² of porous surface or 2000 m² of non-porous surface Application Dilute and apply with a sprayer Residual control Up to about 6 weeks (thorough application, well-vegetated yard) Re-entry 1 hour, once dry Use Outdoor SafetyUse with normal care: follow the label directions, wear the recommended protective gear, and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep children and pets away from treated areas until the spray has dried, and avoid spraying open flowers or near waterways.

The Envirosafe Indoor Mosquito Trap is a compact, USB-powered trap that helps clear mosquitoes from living areas and bedrooms without sprays, coils or pesticides. It uses light and gentle suction to catch insects quietly, and it doubles as a soft night lamp when you want one.About the productThe trap has low-power UVA LEDs that give off a blue light mosquitoes are drawn to. A whisper-quiet fan then pulls them down into a storage tray inside the unit, where they can't escape. It is a chemical and pesticide free approach, so there is nothing to refill or replace. A built-in light sensor lets the trap switch itself on only at night if you prefer. A single soft-white LED lamp can be used as a night light.Where to use itIndoors: bedrooms, living areas, kitchens and near indoor plants, where mosquitoes tend to rest during the day. Running it in the bedroom for a few hours before bed helps reduce mosquitoes before you go to sleep.Outdoors: designed for indoor use only.How to use it Plug the supplied USB cable into any USB outlet, such as a power point adaptor, computer or power bank. Press the ON/OFF button to start the lights and fan. Leave the low-light sensor uncovered if you want the trap to run only in the dark, which saves power if night-biting mosquitoes are your main problem. Switch the trap off at the power before removing the storage tray, then empty out the trapped insects. The brand suggests checking the tray every few weeks to monthly. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth to remove dust when needed. Important notesThis trap is designed for indoor use only. It catches adult mosquitoes that come near the light and fan, so it works best alongside sensible measures such as keeping doors and screens closed. It may also catch small moths and flies. Read the user manual supplied with the trap before first use.Specifications Brand Envirosafe Product Indoor Mosquito Trap Pack 1 trap with USB cable Power USB Light source Low-power UVA LEDs plus a soft-white night lamp Controls ON/OFF button, low-light sensor for night-only operation Product size 125 x 125 x 215 mm (W x D x H) Use Indoor only Care and storageKeep the trap in a dry spot away from water and out of reach of young children.
