    I am using Talstar for thrips in my garden. What is the gallons/teaspoons mixture that i should use.
    I have to apply Talstar using a two gallon sprayer. What is the mixture that I should use. Also, what is the maximum outdoor temperature for effective application?
    A
    First, if you are referring to edible garden, DO NOT use talstar. If you are referring to non-edible, you would mix 1TBSP Talstar per gallon water.

  • Asked by Gerald from Warren, Michigan
    08/10/2014
    Q
    My apple tree has a carpenter ant nest.
    If Talstar P should not be used on fruit trees, what is safe to use and eliminate the carpenter ants? If Talstar P is used to kill the carpenter ants on the fruit tree, is the fruit safe to eat after one year from using Talstar P.?
    A
    Talstar P (Talstar One) cannot be used on an apple tree. We would recommend using the Carpenter Ant Kit # 1. It has a granular and a sugar bait. This can be placed in areas around the tree. The ants will take food back to the colony and eradicate it.

  • Asked by Cliff from Westchester County, Ny
    08/16/2014
    Q
    How do I get rid of the cloudy window effect yet maintain coverage for stink bugs?
    I live in NY and sprayed around all the windows including the screens & doors. I had the pump sprayer set on mist yet now all the windows have dried looking cloudy and are no longer nice and clear. I used the recommended 1 ounce to 1 gallon. How can I get the windows clean again without losing the protection against the coming stink bug attack in the fall? Please advise & thank you in advance.
    A
    We recommend that you only spray around the edges of the window frame to avoid wasting the product. Stink bugs will come in around the edges of the window so it is not effective in the middle of the window. The windows can be cleaned. The correct amount is Talstar P (Talstar One) is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Paul from Chicago,ill.
    08/28/2014
    Q
    Wasps in fascia of my home. Sprays don't work, should I fumigate attic? what product?
    A
    If you know where the nests are you can apply Tempo 1% dust. We recommned that you use a hand duster and apply a dust such as Tempo dust to the holes where the wasps are going in and out. The dust will help eliminate the wasps in the nest and any other wasps returning to the nest. Tempo dust will stay effective for several months as long as it is dry. We are not aware of a product that would eliminate the wasp pheromone to help stop wasps from returning to a particular area.  After dusting in the void where the wasps have a built a nest you can try spraying the siding with a product such as Talstar P. You can spray once a month and any wasp that lands on treated areas will be eliminated within about 24 hours which should stop new wasps from being able to build a nest.

    Q
    Will Talstar P work to protect bedding against lice?
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for head lice and should not be applied to bedding or clothing. We recommend that you launder the bedding in heat and use an over the counter hair treatment product meant for head lice. Steri-Fab can be applied to mattresses, furniture, cracks and crevices. Bedlam can be used for residual control to baseboards and listed areas on the product label for lice.

    Q
    Will Talstar P work on the pecan Phylloxera
    Pecan tree has been infested for about 5 years. Our local Ag center recommends Provado, Lorsban or Malathion
    A

    Talstar P can only be used on non bearing nut trees.  Malathion would be the better option if you plan to harvest in the same season you intend to treat. Spray about the time the buds show one half inch to three quarters an inch of new growth.

    Q
    i have crane flys in my yard how fast will talstar kill them,and when is the best time of year to treat the
    is a good time to treat for larva so they don't hatch.
    A

    Talstar 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. If treatments are made in March-April, they may only provide supression. You can consult with your local cooperative extension office for details on timing of application in your area specifically.

    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) can last in the soil for up to 5-7 years, no edibles should be planted in an area treated with it for this reason.  It would be best to remove and replace the top layer of soil if just sprayed before doing so.
