Does Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide kill mosquitoes? I do not see mosquitoes on the product label.

I am looking for a granular product to kill mosquitoes and the larvae, will this work?

Answer:

Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide is not labeled for mosquitoes or mosquito larvae. Granule insecticides are not going to be effective to treat mosquitoes as mosquitoes hide on the undersides of leaves and foliage during the heat of the day, in areas of dense foliage, trees, shrubs and in shaded, cool damp areas. Using a liquid insecticide concentrate such as Talstar P Liquid Concentrate would be a better option for mosquito control.  For mosquito larvae, Altosid Pro-G Mosquito Larvicide would be the recommended product to use in areas of standing water to kill larvae and help stop with breeding.  Please view our Mosquito Treatment Guide and our Mosquito Control Kits that offer a variety of options for treating mosquito populations on your property.
