    Q
    Can Talstar N be used on lawns to control Gnats? If so how frequently should it be applied?
    A
    Talstar N cannot be used on residential lawns. Talstar PL granules could help eliminate fungus gnat larvae but generally the gnats that are bothering you outdoors are not fungus gnats. You can use Talstar P Liquid to spray topically on plants, bushes and on the lawn to control other gnat species as they land on treated areas.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar N to broadcast throughout my flower beds for fire ants?
    If so, what's the appl rate /100 sqft? Just to clarify, I am talking about the Talstar N Nursery granular insecticide
    A
    The Talstar N is for Agricultural and Commercial Use Only so would not be applied to your flower beds.  A better product for you would be the Talstar Xtra.  Talstar XTRA Granules are an excellent choice for fire ant control

    Q
    What is the different between the Nursery granules & Talstar Xtra/Bifen IT?
    If they have the same active ingredient, I'm just curious as to why they are labeled for different application uses and such. Thanks.
    A

    The difference is in how Talstar Xtra and the Talstar Nursery Granular Insecticide are marketed and labeled for use, that is it. Many manufacturers do this when they need to offer different package sizes to different industries.

    Q
    Can Talstar Nursery Granular Insecticide be used on a baseball field to get of moles food source?
    A

    The product label for Talstar Nursery Granular Insecticide does not say it can be used on a baseball field so we would not recommend applying the product there. Merit 2G would be a better option.

    Q
    How much Talstar Nursery Granular Insecticide can be added to 4 inch nursery pots to control mealybugs?
    I cleaned the Mealybugs off the roots and potted in fresh soil before I received the Talstar Nursery. I don't want to have to repot all my stock. I'd like to just add some to the soil that is already in the 4” nursery pots but need to know how much per pot?
    A

    The recommended rate for mealybugs using Talstar Nursery Granular insecticide would be 1lb to 3lbs per cubic yard (5 ppm to 10 ppm rate). To determine how much per pot, you will need to know the weight/density of the soil you are using to determine the correct amount.

    Per the Application Instructions for Potting Media Section on the product label, you will determine the bulk density of the potting media by measuring the dry weight of a unit volume of the mix. Based on the length of control required, thoroughly mix the appropriate quantity of the Talstar Nursery Granular insecticide with equipment suitable to give uniform distribution in the potting media.
