    Q
    I have Merit .5G. Can I use Talstar in a liquid to supplement the merit?
    Massive grub, cinchbug and mole cricket infestations on my lawns. I am going to Aerate and treat with Merit. In the mean time, will a broadcast spray over my lawn with Talstar SC work? I couldn't imagine it would hurt.
    A

    Neither Talstar P Professional Insecticide or Talstar PL Granular Insecticide are labeled for grubs. You would need a product with Imidacloprid in it.

    Q
    Will Talstar PL Granules work to kill Crane Fly larvae? I would like to treat my lawn this month (November).
    A

    Yes, Talstar PL Granular Insecticide are labeled for crane flies. According to the product label, it should be used early to mid-season to control the larvae of crane flies. This application should be made between August-February during times when the ground is not frozen as they feed on plant crowns. If treatments are made in March-April, they may only provide suppression. 

    Consult your local extension agent for specific recommendations for your area.

    Q
    My grass is grown from seed - what other comparable product might I use to control fleas?
    A
    Most insecticides will not interrupt the growth of grass so anything that is labeled for flea control should be just fine to use. Most insecticides do have a disclaimer not to use on grass grown for seed (not to be mistaken as grass grown from seed). Talstar PL would be a great choice.

    Q
    I have a Lesco commercial spreader. What setting should I set it on for a 0.2 application?

    We are not famliar with that type of spreader since we do not sell it.  We would reccommend calling Lesco or you can try calling FMC (manufacturer of Talstar Granules) at 1-800-321-1362.
