    Q
    How to eliminate continuous infestation of centipedes inside our home?
    A

    We would recommend using Talstar PL granules in your lawn. This will kill and prevent centipedes and various other insects. Be sure to water the product in after application. This will last 2-3 months in the soil. Talstar P would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Indoors you can apply Talstar P to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive.

  • Asked by Christy from La Vernia, Tx
    10/12/2011
    Q
    Is it feasible to cover 2 acres with Talstar PL? Will it affect drinking water if using an underground well?
    Have tons of Scorpions and am willing to do anything to get rid of them. I am looking at using Talstar PL Granules for outside acre treatment coupled with Demon WP for outside home and foundation in addition to Demand SC for indoor spraying.
    A
    Talstar PL Granules do not move through the soil when applied according to the product label and no precautions are listed on the product label concerning wells. It is feasible to apply Talstar PL granules over the entire acre though it is probably not necessary. We recommend that you concentrate on areas where the scorpions would be most likely to harbor. Scorpions reside hidden in cracks, voids and other hidden areas during the day and are active at night. Resting areas can be identified at night using a blacklight flashlight such as the Scorpion Hunter flashlight and the scorpions will fluoresce. These areas should be treated. You should also remove trash, debris, or firewood that scorpions may be harboring in. Using the Talstar granules in your yard will also help to get rid of other insects which of course are the scorpions' food source. Removing or eliminating the scorpions' food source and reducing their harborage sites will make your property less favorable to this pest.

    Q
    After applying Talstar Granules and watering in, when is the next treatment, could not find any information?
    A
    We are not exactly sure what you are treating for, but Talstar granules are made to last for about 90 days after watered into your lawn.  So, we recommend re-applying every 3 months for optimum protection.

  • Asked by Sherry from Poquoson, Virginia
    03/04/2012
    Q
    Is the Talstar PL Granules safe on newer lawns?
    We seeded last Fall, we were a little late, most seeds germinated but not all.
    A
    Talstar PL is an insecticide, not a pre-emergent or herbicide, so it has no effect on germinating grass or turf whatsoever.  It will not harm, inhibit, or promote any kind of growth in turf grass, it is strictly formulated to kill insects and that's it.  So there are no issues at all with using it on your grass.

  • Asked by Carl from Winter Garden, Fl.
    05/09/2012
    Q
    Can I use my Agri-Fab Broadcast Spreader (Model 45-02111) for Talstar PL Granules (Setting?)
    A
    You can use just about any hand spreader a long as it can be calibrated for the usage rate you will require. The easiest way to determine the correct setting for your needs is outlined below:

    If you need to use 3lbs of product per 1,000 sq ft you would add 3 lb of product to spreader, start with a medium setting, then apply product to a 20 x 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft).  If you have product left, your setting is too low.  If you run out of product, your setting is too high.

    Please refer to the Talstar PL product label to determine the correct usage rate for your specific needs.

    Q
    What granular or dust product is most recommended for chigger control?
    I do have kids present in the backyard. I plan on treating only the mulched areas, not the entire turf area of the yard, plus an area where English Ivy forms as a groundcover.
    A
    Talstar PL granules is our most popular for chiggers.  It is also very safe.  You should water in the granules after application.  Kids and pets can reenter the treatment area after you have watered the product in and it has had time to dry.

    Q
    Earthway C22HD settings
    I have the Earthway C22HD spreader (which you sell) I read the Talstar info sheet and they did not list the setting for my spreader. Is there a cross reference chart?
    A
    Yes, we would recommend looking at the product label for the Earthway C22HD. Talstar PL granules are fine (the size of sand) so the spread width is 5-7 feet. You will need to test the spread width of the product in the spreader and then the setting rate can be established.

    Q
    How long does it take for Talstar PL granules to work?
    We laid down the product for serious ant problems almost 48 hours ago. We're still seeing them running around outside. Is this normal?
    A
    Talstar PL granules needs to be watered in to be activated after it has been broadcast across the area, if this has not already been done. Depending on the severity of the ants will depend on how long it takes. It could possibly take 2-3 weeks for full control. The product will last in the soil for 2-3 months.

  • Asked by Terry
    07/17/2015
    Q
    Can I use Talstar PL Granules for chinch bugs on St. Augustine grass?
    A

    Talstar PL Granules are one of the most effective chinch bug treatments on the market. Chinch bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Irrigate the treated area with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide. Chinch bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher applications rates will be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer. It may also be necessary to remove the thatch layer if it exceeds 1 inch in thickness to allow the Talstar to penetrate down to the soil.

    If you have a few small spots the St. Augustine runners might fill it in this season (of course water, fertilizer, and lots of sunshine helps). If large portions of the lawn were damaged it will likely be late spring or later of next year before the lawn recovers. Very heavily damaged areas may need to be resodded.

    03/16/2016
    Q
    What is the preferred method of application for tick control for Talstar PL?
    A

    Talstar PL Granules are applied with a granule spreader at the rate of 2.3 to 4.6 lb per 1000 sqft.  Please refer to the product label for more specific tick control instructions.  Granule products will only control the young stages of ticks really as these are the ones in the soil.  For adult control it is recommended to use sprays such as those in our Outdoor Tick/Flea Kit.  We also have some great advice here.

    Q
    How far away from a citrus tree can Talstar PL be spread safely?
    I am trying to control an infestation of white -footed ants and Talstar seems to be the only effective treatment but I have an orange tree in my backyard and I don't want to apply it if it's not safe. Also should I use Talstar PL or Talstar Extra?
    A

    Talstar PL granules should not be used on or within the dripline or root zone of edible vegetation.  Either the PL or the Talstar XTRA could be used, XTRA would just provide a faster kill to the ones that contact a treated area.

    Q
    How long after treating the garden with Talstar PL Granules can you plant your vegetable plants?
    My raised bed gardens have had ants and I treated them with Talstar granules. How long do I need to wait before planting the garden?
    A

    When using Talstar PL Granules, they would have at least a three month residual in the soil. Some vegetables require a longer re-planting waiting period. We suggest you contact the product manufacturer to see what your specific application would require as far as the waiting period. You can reach FMC at 800-321-1362.

  • Asked by Alex from Manuela, Hi
    03/23/2017
    Q
    If I put Talstar PL Granules over mulch, will it give me the same result?
    A

    If you apply Talstar PL Granules over mulch it can work for pests that crawl over those areas. For a more effective treatment though, we would recommend moving the mulch and applying the granules in that area, that way pests that like moisture and usually hide under mulch like centipedes, millipedes, silverfish, etc. can come in contact with the residual.

    Q
    Can Talstar PL Granules be used under carpeting?
    I have a bad pill bug problem in my apartment they like under the carpeting could I use ganulars under there to kill them.
    A

    No, unfortunately Talstar PL Granules are not labled for use indoors or can be used in that type of application.  We would suggest you use something like Temprid Ready Spray to treat for your pill bugs.
