Read Full Answer »No, Talstar P Professional Insecticide cannot be used to treat for insects around boats or over areas of water such as lakes, rivers, ponds, etc. Unfortunately, there aren't any insecticides that can be sprayed directly to the outside surface of the boat, as any ingredients they contain could possibly harm the finish on the boat itself. If you have a boat dock, you can spray it with Essentria IC3 which is safe for aquatic life and would be the closest water safe product to Talstar, and covers the same range of insects. Inside the boat itself you can use an aerosol like D-Force to treat crevices and areas under/around seats and places insects tend to hide. -

Asked by Brent from Bristow05/29/2024QIs Talstar P effective on Bat bugs?
We will be removing bats in the attic so will need to spray after they are gone. The bats are in the attic. We don't want the Bugs to move into the living space belowABat bugs are treated very similarly to bed bugs. Bats are their preferred host, but this does not negate them from humans. They do tend to come once the bats are gone because they are looking for a host. We would recommend using Temprid FX as a treatment for the rooms. You will mix 16 mL per gallon …
Read Full Answer »Bat bugs are treated very similarly to bed bugs. Bats are their preferred host, but this does not negate them from humans. They do tend to come once the bats are gone because they are looking for a host. We would recommend using Temprid FX as a treatment for the rooms. You will mix 16 mL per gallon of water and treat in the room that has the bugs as well as all the surrounding rooms to prevent them from spreading. This will be applied with a pump sprayer. You will do this every 10-14 days until you do not see any activity for 30 days. We would also recommend using Cimexa Dust in the wall voids. You will do a couple of puffs per wall outlet and light plate with a hand duster. You will do this in all the wall voids of the home. -

Asked by Roz05/17/2011QWhat if a dog came into contact with Talstar P while it was still wet?
My dog didn't show apparent signs of illness, yet his coat was wet with a manure type odor and when wiped, there was a rust color that came off. The scent is still there a day later.AThe smell and color are not from the Talstar P. Talstar P is a water based product that dries clear and is odorless. It seems like your dog did indeed roll in something that was possibly still damp from the Talstar application, but it is the actual item your pet rolled in (perhaps manure or fertiliz…

It seems like your dog did indeed roll in something that was possibly still damp from the Talstar application, but it is the actual item your pet rolled in (perhaps manure or fertilizer of some kind?) that you have noticed on your pet. We think a bath is in order to wash off any Talstar the dog may have on his coat and to get rid of whatever ever else he rolled in. -

Read Full Answer »Talstar P is not labeled to treat for mites in general and would not be recommended. Â For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. -

Read Full Answer »Talstar P is not labeled to treat for bird mites so we cannot recommend it for this use. Below is our best advice regarding bird mites: It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with mites. Have the suspected bird mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for bird mites. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room.

Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.
