Fritz Lawn and Kennel Spray is an excellent product to rid a place of fleas, ticks, flies, etc.
It is very important that whatever product you use, you allow it to dry completely before allowing your pets to walk in the sprayed areas. Poisons can be absorbed through the skin and paw pads.
As long as you let it dry first you should not have a problem.
Citronella oil can be purchased at a pharmacy. You can soak a rag in it and wherever you put it you will not be bothered with mosquitoes for months.
Weedkiller I am not too sure about...I suggest a trip to the feed store, garden center, or a large pet store. Ask for the product that meets your needs.

Apple cider vinegar is real good at killing insects. The recipe is 50% vinegar and 50% water. Spray it on your dog starting at the neck and working your way down the body. Once done take a damp cloth or your hands and rub down to skin. Fleas can't stand the smell and will take off! As far as other insects, use 100% vinegar and spray where they are. You must keep this up untill you see no fleas on you dog. I do not recommend topical flea stuff like Advantage or Front line. That is just another chemical that spreads on your dogs body. I have dogs and cats and I used to use Advantage every month and when it was time to put on they would run and hide. They are trying to tell you that it is bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course Veterinarian's will say differently cause this is big business. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I use a soap solution, half & half liquid glycerine soar and water with a few drops of cedar oil or tea tree oil as an insecticide, and vinegar & water (3 parts vinegar to 2 parts water) as a weed killer if spraying a large area (don't spray it on grass or plants you want, it kills all) ir straight vinegar if I'm pouring it directly, like on weeds in sidewalk cracks.
They're not totally as effective as the commercial chemical stuff, but they DO work, and I feel better using natural stuff around my pets, the neighborhood kids & the local wildlife.

Depending on the type of insect, you can try mixing up a soap solution. Simply use dish soap.
The way this works is: by coating some insects with soap, they can no longer breathe.
Also, ants have trouble crossing over a trail of salt. It burns their little feet.

most weed and insect killers are OK for pets once they dry completely. I keep my doggie inside til the next day. We treat the back yard one day and the front yard the next.

As someone else suggested, use a bit of dish soap mixed with water.
I do not use any poisons in my dog yard. Yes, it is weedy, but so many cancers are caused by chemicals.
