1 and 1/2 ozs. per 1000 sq.ft of Orthene. Do not water before treatment with Orthene. Apply at dusk when no rain is expected.

2-4 ozs. of sevin per 1000 sq. feet

2 lbs. of Dursban per 1000 sq. feet ( I think Dursban was taken off the market. Probably worked to well.)

Diazinon granules in a broadcast spreader over the entire yard... water in well (or as has been the case recently, dodge the rain getting it out there.)

Eliminate the mole crickets, and you also eliminate the moles. Another beneficial side effect is no fire ants!
