Can I apply Talstar after Conserve treatment for gypsy moth caterpillars?

My landscaper applied "Conserve" to kill gypsy moth caterpillars but my tree expert told me that Talstar is better, can Talstar be applied after Conserve? I know that they work by different mechanisms.

Answer:

Conserve SC is a great product for treating caterpillars since it is a targeted application and is very gentle on the plants and on other non-target insects and animals. If you are going to do a follow up treatment using Talstar, then I would wait at least 1-2 weeks so that you are not wasting the Conserve application since you don’t need both products at the same time.
