    Q
    Best treatment for small Black ants and centipedes?
    I have children and a dog, what would you recommend for small black ants and centipedes? Thank you!
    A
    We would recommend our most popular insecticide, Talstar.  It is a very safe product to use around children and pets and is widely used by professional companies every day in thousands of homes across the country.  It is odorless, can be used indoors and outdoors and it is labeled for over 80 different insects.  You would apply it using a one gallon hand pump sprayer.

    Q
    Seeing large spiders inside house after spraying Talstar. Is there a better insecticide for spiders?
    Sprayed the interior of our home with Talstar at .02% dilution (.33 fl. oz) per gallon one month ago. Just started seeing spiders 2 weeks ago almost every night. I've read that Talstar doesn't always work well on spiders because their legs are tall and their bodies are raised high off the chemical. Is this true? Should I use something else? Or maybe a higher concentration of Talstar would work better? Help! Thank you!
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide should be mixed at .5 an oz per gallon for spiders. But yes, products such as Talstar have a more difficult time taking care of spiders. Something such as Demon Max or Suspend SC would work better on spiders. Their formulation helps stick to surfaces better & their legs as well. Will also take care of the food sources that are making them harbor them. Also make sure to take down any spider webs as they come up to make them want to relocate.

    Q
    Is Talstar P safe to use with pet reptiles and a fish tank in the house?
    A

    Since aquatic life such as reptiles can be sensitive to insecticides, we do not recommend applying Talstar in any rooms while these animals are present, or in their habitats. It should be fine to use Talstar in other rooms where these animals are not kept.

    Q
    How do I apply Talstar P for termite control on a block house in Florida?
    We need to treat a limited amount of wood in the roof rafters.
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide would not be recommended for use if you need to treat wood directly.  It only sits on the surface of wood and would not penetrate.  It used to be used as a perimeter treatment to the soil in a trench around the home until non repellent products like Termidor SC were developed.  For treating wood directly, a better option would be Bora-Care, either sprayed or painted onto the rafters.  We have great guides for treating both subterranean and drywood termites that would be helpful to review as well.

    Q
    Can I mop the floors after spraying my house with Talstar P (Talstar One)?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One)  is labeled to be applied to cracks and crevices indoors. Mopping should not be an issue, as Talstar is not labeled to be applied as a broadcast over the floor. If you were to mop along the edges of the wall where Talstar was applied, it would take it up.

    Q
    My house has a bird mites infestation. What kind of pesticide or miticide should I use?
    I read on a website that Talstar works well. Is this true? I desperately need an answer and would like to place an order as soon as possible. Thank you.
    A
    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. 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. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.
