    Q
    Will Talstar P kill love bugs?
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide is a great general purpose insecticide that controls over 75 insects for both indoor and outdoor applications. You will want to mix at 1 fl oz per gallon of water which will leave a residual for 30 days outdoors/90 days indoors. Most insecticides will not be labeled for love bugs, specifically, since this insect is only a concern in a small part of the country and for a short time. The best protection from them is physically covering vehicles and other sensitive surfaces when these insects are swarming in large numbers.

    Q
    Will Talstar P still provide mosquito control in a small yard even if my neighbors do not maintain their yard?
    I want a treatment plan for mosquitoes. Here is my problem. My yard is only 50ft deep and 100ft wide. I can spray my yard and shrubs with Talstar P, but since it is such a small area, won't the mosquitoes just come over from my neighbors? -they have lots of plants and foliage and don't keep things nice and trim. Their bad habits die hard, so talking to them is not a long term solution. Will Talstar P provide me some releif, or am I wasting my efforts and money?
    A

    With mosquito control you want to not only be sure that the foliage on your trees and ornamentals are taken care of by maintenance and spraying, but that any standing water no matter how small is either eliminated your treated with a larvicide so the breeding cycle in the mosquitoes can be disrupted. Talstar P is one of our most recommended products for mosquito control. It will keep down the population even if your neighbor doesn't to the yard maintenance that you do.

    Q
    I have larder beetles. I need to know what I can use to get rid of them but will not harm my Macaws?
    I am in an apartment, and I know they are using the radiators. The eggs have hatched and now these beetles are already shedding by the time they get to the other register. My cat is excellent at finding these things. Anyway, I have asked my manager to have his bug guy come, but I get nowhere. I also have two Macaws that are VERY sensitive. I cannot even cook on Teflon, the fumes will kill them. Someone told me to use Bifenthrin, but is this safe? What are my alternatives?
    A
    Bifenthrin is an active ingredient found in several products, Talstar P being the most popular and widely used bifenthrin product. Talstar P is a very safe product and is even labeled to be used in poultry houses and animal confinement areas. Having said that, we do not feel comfortable making a product recommendation for you because your birds are so sensitive. We recommend you speak to your veterinarian for recommendations or remove the birds completely during the entire treatment process.

    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.
    A

    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.

    Q
    Do you recommend using Merit 75, Talstar P or Talstar PL for chinch bug control in St Augustine grass?
    The problem is in Bermuda and St. Augustine. I live in East Texas. Would you recommend Talstar or Merit75? If you recommend Talstar, would you recommend liquid or granules? Thank you for any help!
    A

    Talstar 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.

    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.
    A

    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
    Can you clarify whether Talstar is safe around kids
    I've read many Q&A's about whether the product is save around children. Most say it is; however, I've read a couple that say "We do not recommend spraying any insecticides directly on areas where children will be coming in skin contact on a regular basis." I'm confused how it can be save to spray on lawns kids play in or indoors but then not spray it where children will be coming in skin contact on a regular basis. Should this product be avoided with babies who will be crawling around?
    A
    Yes. Talstar P can be safely used around pets and children as long as you follow the label instructions; all pets and children need to be out of the area while application is being made and they can return as soon as the application is dry. Talstar is none irratating if it touches the skin, but is not recommended to be around until it has dried. Talstar will not harm babies if the product label is followed.

    Q
    what can i use for inside and outside for general insect kill
    I am currently on a quarterly spray but would like to do my own to save me money ,I would like to known what all in one product I could mix and apply that would kill most common insects and bugs that won't pets or leave a white residue on things. Also I would like mouse blocks that can be used in boxes and also just thrown under the house . Please show what your best options are in a concentrate to mix and use on a quarterly basis. Thanks
    A

    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.
