A: Howdy neighbor! This specific Malathion spray is strictly formulated for garden pests and is not rated to kill ticks. It is also labeled specifically for outdoor ornamental plants and cannot be used safely on lawns where ticks typically hide. For a safe and effective way to clear ticks out of your yard, you will want to look for Spectracide Triazicide instead.

A: Hello, Spectracide Malathion Insect Spray Concentrate is not for use on lawns because it is strictly labeled for gardens, fruits, and vegetables and has not been formulated or EPA-approved for turf applications. Using it on your lawn could potentially lead to grass burn (phytotoxicity), especially in hot weather, and poses a high risk of toxic runoff into local waterways. Furthermore, because this product is highly toxic to bees and beneficial pollinators, the manufacturer limits its use to specific plants and ornamental areas rather than broad lawn coverage.
