    Q
    What is a good pesticide for Florida?
    I live in Florida and would like to know what is a very effective pestiside to use outside. I was also wondering what do the professionals use. So I can do my own pest control. Also we have these very tiny ants that you can barely, you need to get up very close to them and then you can see them crawling on the house. I don't know what they call them but we seem to have quite a bit of them in our area. very tiny tiny ants

    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with including ants and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests.

    Q
    Sprayed my yard and around peach tree with Talstar P Professional Insecticide
    My peach tree is about 5 to 8 years old. I believe it has some moth in it. It produces the sweetest juseist peaches the last 2 years I had to toss most of them because the fruit has small holes and a jelly like ozzie leaking out of them. I sprayed 2 weeks ago when can I spray again. The peaches are on the tree now and I'm seeing the same things on them. If you have a different idea for me I would be happy to read it.

    Talstar P is not labeled to treat any edible vegetation, so it should NOT be sprayed on the fruit, the tree, the soil around the tree, or the root zone. The manufacturer does recommend that you discard any fruit from the tree for this growing season if the tree was sprayed with Talstar P. 
     
    We would recommend that you use Monterey Fruit Tree and Vegetable Systemic Soil Drench in the future because it is labeled for fruit trees. Please see the product label for additional information.

    Q
    Is Talstar P Professional Insecticide pet friendly?
    I have a few rental properties and looking to do the pest control myself besides paying some corporate companies a lot of money, I need something that will work for roaches especially for the German roach as they are very bad in Louisiana and the cockroaches, I want a chemical that can be sprayed inside but that will be also pet friendly as I have 6 homes and 2 of them has 2 cat and the other home has a little dog, I don't want to cause any harm to the lovely pets they own, Thank You for any response and recommendations.

    Talstar P is our most popular product for general pest control. labeled for over 75 different insects and can be used both inside and outside the home. If any of the rental properties has an active German Roach infestation, a combination of products would be the best approach. Temprid FX Insecticide, in addtion to a roach gel bait and insect growth regulator would be the most effective treatment. Take a look at our Roach Control Kits that contain the best combination of products for 2-3 treatments.  

    These products are all safe to be used around kids and pets when applied per the product labels and once the application has dried. Keep kids and pets out while treating.

    Talstar P is labeled for over 75 types of insects and our most popular insecticide for general pest control. Talstar P has a residual of 30 days outside (perimeter or broadcast spray) and 90 days inside the home(crack and crevice) Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

    For Mice control, depending on the level of infestation we recommend the Protecta RTU Mouse Bait Stations Case(12 Stations) with Fastrac Blox. These stations hold 1 bait blox and can be placed in corners where mice travel. Fastrac is a quick knockdown rodenticide with a Stop feed action after consuming lethal dose, usually within 12-48 hours.

    If you are needing a larger bait station, we recommend the Protecta Mouse Bait Station that can hold up to 4 standard size blox. These would work better for you under the home.

    Q
    What is the best product to help eliminate spiders from neglected property including in trees?
    I have just recently bought about 4 acres of land (no house) ,which is about 1/4 mile from a lake, which has not been kept up in a very long time. The grass, ivy, and bugs have had free reign during that time. I purchased the deltagard from you for the chiggers and other ground insects and it's worked great! There are MANY spiders on the land, both on the ground and in the trees. They literally land on you if you walk underneath the trees. I have access to a pressure washer to use to spray the trees (especially around the firepit and patio area). The 3 trees that I would be spraying are 100 year old oaks. I don't, however, want to hurt the trees or the birds. Do you have a liquid insecticide that I could use for this?

    Talstar P would be a good choice to use outdoors to help control spiders. It is important to remember that Talstar P does not give an immediate knockdown but instead works over a period of several hours to kill spiders that have come into contact with the product. Talstar P will also help to get rid of the insects that spiders feed on and that will help to stop new spiders from moving in. You can spray the lawn, trees and other plants with Talstar P.

    Q
    Will Talstar P and Bifen IT be the best choice for mosquitos, spiders and other general pests?
    Hello... Last "mid summer" I used Talstar liquid all around the house, patio and deck as well as my shop building to try and control ants, spiders and other bugs in general. I also used Bifen granules in the yard and shrub areas. Between those two products, it seem to work very well for the bulk of the summer season, even on Mosquitoes. I'm out of the granules and low on the Talstar and need to get more but my question is: Is there something that I should be using instead of the Talstar and Bifen that would work better yet? We're in Idaho and the main insects I'd like to stop are the ants, all spiders in general and the mosquitoes. I realize there are many other insects that these products kill as well which is good but you have so many products available and at all seem to overlap in killing different types if insects that I'm having a hard time deciding on what would be the best to use this again year. Thanks much, Duane Walker

    Talstar P or Bifen IT mixed with NyGuard IGR would be a great choice for mosquito control and they are also labeled for spiders and other listed insects. You will mix an ounce per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft per month on the exterior of the structure. During mosquito season, you will add 3ml to the Talstar P or Bifen IT and it will last for 7 months. It is an insect growth regulator and does not have to be applied as often as the insecticide concentrate.
