    Q
    Can I put Talstar directly on my dog?
    A
    Talstar is not labeled to be applied to any type of animal.  If you are trying to treat your dog for felase we do carry several products that are labeled for use on dogs, you can find them here.  Our most popular product is the PetCor Flea Spray.  Petcor Flea Spray contains Precor IGR, an insect growth regulator that targets fleas in the egg and larval stages of development. As a result, pre-adult fleas cannot produce new infestations of breeding, biting adults.

    Q
    Which is better for an outside barrier? Demand CS or Telstar P
    A
    Both talstar P and Demand CS are great products. Demand CS is micorencapsulated so the active ingredient is released slowly over time, making for a longer lasting residual.

    Q
    Talstar On Ortho hose end sprayer
    Can you please specify the correct setting to use on an Ortho hose end sprayer using Talstar P, and how far or how much to cover with that setting. I bought the product from DoMyOwnPestControl and have used it on a 2 gallons sprayer under a deck where the dogs stay the most time. I am still getting fleas and want to apply it on my lawn. I tried using it but did not seem to be absorbed good through the hose end sprayer, maybe because Talstar is too thick? Also, do I need to calcute how much water comes out of the sprayer ?? Thank you for your prompt attention.
    A
    You can use a hose end sprayer to apply the Talstar P, but we are not familiar with the Ortho model so we do not know what specifics to give you, we would recommend contacting that manufacturer directly for accurate setting instructions.  You want to dilute 1 fl oz Talstar P into one gallon of water. One gallon of mixed solution will treat approx. 1,000 square feet

    Q
    My wife is a few months pregnant, is it safe to apply Talstar indoors?
    I've been using this product for a couple of years with great results. But now that my wife is pregnant, I want to know if it's safe to continue using while she is pregnant. And once our child is born, will it be safe to use then? Thanks in advance.
    A
    Talstar is safe for people and pets to re enter the treated area after it has dried. They should not be in the area when the product is being applied.

    Q
    Will Talstar hurt the grass?
    We live in central Florida, the mole crickets are tearing up the yard. I am just worried about ruining what yard we can keep here.
    A
    Talstar P (Talstar One) is a great product to use for mole crickets. Great news, Talstar will not cause any harm to grass. In fact Talstar is labeled to be used on trees, shrubs, lawns, and indoors cracks and crevices.

    Q
    Can you use Talstar p with a ulv fogger?
    Im looking for something I can use to treat my yard for Mosquitoes, but more importantly I want to treat my crawlspace for everything. I was hoping to use my ulv fogger what do you think?
    A
    The particle size in Talstar is too large to use in ULV fogger and could clog it. We would recommend when indoor fogging using Riptide. Riptide Waterbased Pyrethrin ULV is new technology that delivers effective control of a wide range of insects including mosquitoes, stored product pests, cockroaches, biting insects, crawling insects, flies and more without oil residues or oil-related issues.

    Q
    I want to spray my own house for bugs. I live in Oklahoma City, and I used to pay a service to do it.
    They went out of business and I was forced to use Terminix. Well they suck. I just want to keep insects out of my house, but I don't know what to buy or how to apply. I have a small ant problem in one of the bedrooms as well. Any tips? Oh, I would also like to keep the flies down in the summer. Any suggestions for that? thanks,
    A
    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 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. Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules. 
    Talstar P is labeled to help control many types of flies and can be applied to your lawn as well for them.
    You may be seeing ants in the bathrooms, because they are looking for water. Since ants can be quite fickle with the foods they are eating, we recommend the Complete Ant Kit. This kit combines both a sweet and protein based bait. Please also see Ant control article.

    Q
    Talstar P (Talstar One)safe for pets after it has dried. What about after it rains, the grass is wet again
    Do I have to keep the dog off the grass after a rain?
    A
    Yes. Talstar P can be safely used around pets as long as you follow the label instructions; all pets need to be out of the area while application is being made and they can return as soon as the application is dry. As long as the area has had time to dry before a rain it will not "reactivate".

  • Asked by Frederick
    04/14/2010
    Q
    What is the difference between Phantom and Talstar P?
    A

    Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect and is especially useful for insects that are social or extra sensitive like ants, roaches or bedbugs. Talstar P on the other hand will have a faster knockdown rate and is a bit more versatile as it can be used in more areas and for a wider variety of insects. When trying to decide which insecticide to use you need to know: 1. What are you trying to eliminate? 2. What areas need to be treated? After you answer those questions, read the product labels to make sure the pest and the treatment area are both listed. If you still need help deciding you can call us at 866-581-7378.

    Q
    Will Talstar P harm small lizards and geckos that live outside around our house?
    A
    If the lizards are sprayed directly with the Talstar P it may cause them harm. If they travel over dried deposits of the Talstar P it would be less likely to cause any issues.

    Q
    What is best to use to kill chinch bugs that are in our St. Augustine grass? How to mix, if mixing is needed.
    Our grass is brown down the middle of our lawn and in other spots around the yard. At certain times of the year is worst than others. We have replanted new grass and added nutrients, but the problem still exists.
    A

    Talstar P is our best selling product for chinch bug control. The key is to use lots of water to carry the Talstar P down to the thatch layer underneath the grass, where the chinch bugs do the damage. Please read the product label for proper use instructions.

    Q
    Can I pour Talstar around a tree to try and poison the pests within?
    I have seen signs of the emerald ash borer on our property. Now I also am seeing signs of the asian longhorn beetle in our maple and pine trees. If I pour this around the tree and the tree drinks it up will it then kill these pests as they eat the wood from the inside? I have never seen these bugs on the outside of the tree but the signs of the asian longhorn beetle are hard to miss.
    A
    Talstar P will not work as a systemic insecticide and will not eliminate insects inside the tree. You will need to purchase a product that contains imidacloprid such as Merit 75 WSP, Adonis 75 WSP, Adonis 2F, Dominion 2L, Criterion 75 WSP and Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic. Each of these products will work systemically to help treat for Emerald Ash Borers and Asian Long Horned Beetles but the application and usage rate will vary so you should read the product label of the product you are considering and make sure you are comfortable with the application before purchasing. Systemic products can take several weeks to translocate through a plant. Trees that have not been infested with these beetles can be protected with topical bark sprays like the Talstar P. We recommend you contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener or entomologist on staff to find out when the best time to apply a systemic and/or a bark spray would be as this varies from region to region. Heavily infested trees may need to be taken down and chipped or burned to help save the neighboring trees.

  • Asked by Brian from Pittsburgh, Pa

    Q
    Dogs eat stink bugs, safe to use Talstar P?
    My dogs tend to eat stink bugs. I know Talstar P is safe around pets once it has dried, but I am concerned that when I spray my screened in porch my dogs will continue to eat the stink bugs that were killed by the Talstar P. Are there any concerns here?
    A
    Talstar, when mixed according to the product label with water is only strong enough to kill small insects, like ants or stink bugs. Your dogs would have to eat huge amounts of stinks bugs at one time to have any type of negative effect on them. In most cases your dogs would not be able to consume enough stinkbugs that have come into contact with treated areas for there to be any cause for concern.
