  • Asked by Nathan from North Carolina

    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
    How does Talstar P compare to the new Suspend Polyzone?
    Does Suspend Polyzone have a faster kill rate for spiders. I see in the Q&A that Talstar P takes longer to kill since it is a residual. Can you give some guidance on whether this is true for Suspend Polyzone?
    A
    The active ingredient in Talstar is not protected like that of the Suspend Polyzone. Talstar will last 30 days outdoors. Suspend Polyzone features a proprietary polymer layer that protects the active ingredient from weather, irrigation and mechanical abrasion. This controlled release formulation, which resists erosion, ensures your treatment will continue to control targeted pests for up to 90 days outdoors. It also stays right where you put it, so if you want to increase the effectiveness of your treatments, put the science of Suspend Polyzone to work for you.

  • 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
    Is it safe to eat herbs that were sprayed with Talstar One?
    It was not sprayed directly on but I saw spray go through the air onto this area. Should we not eat the herbs now? Would it be best to cover the herbs with plastic for future sprayings?
    A
    No, the herbs should not be eaten. Talstar is not labeled to spray on edible vegetation and the effects of eating food products contaminated by the insecticide are not known. We would definitely recommend covering the herbs in the future to prevent contamination.

    Q
    Can Talstar P and Talstar PL be used together for springtails?
    Can Talstar PL granules with 7.9% Bifenthrin be used together with Talstar P Liquid with 7.9% Bifenthrin? Is this good for springtails? We have purchased Suspend and
    A
    Talstar P and Talstar PL work very well springtails and they can be used in the same areas. Springtails can be tough to control. You must find the moisture source and correct it to get rid of springtails completely.

  • Asked by Karen
    06/22/2010
    Q
    Are there any adverse effects to birds when using Talstar One?
    I have new tenants moving into my rental property and they have various indoor birds. I have a service that sprays the exterior of the house on a regular basis with Talstar One. With summer coming up, the tenants are concerned about the effect on the birds if they were to leave the windows open when the outside of the house is being treated. Is this product going to have any adverse effect on the birds? Thank you
    A
    While we do not think the Talstar would hurt the birds, sometimes it is just a matter of perception. Basically if someone thinks the product is likely to hurt their beloved pet, they may think any health issues the pet has in the days, weeks, months following the application is because of the insecticide. We recommend closing the windows while the exterior treatments are being done and then opening them after the application has dried in order to avoid any issues. Talstar is odorless, dries clear and is known to be one of the safest insecticides to use around people and animals.

    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 the best thing to use to get rid of white flies?
    A
    Talstar P is our most popular product for white fly. It is important to spray the underside of the leaves on infested plants for effective control. Heavily infested leaves should be plucked off the plant and tossed in a bucket of soapy water.

    Q
    I currently use Cyonara 9.7. How does Talstar P compare to Cyonara 9.7?
    A
    The Talstar P and the Cyonara 9.7 are both great products and are very comparable for general pest control. Talstar P is very gentle on plants and is odorless. If you have a bedbug problem or need a faster knockdown Cyonara 9.7 would be a better choice. Our recommendation here at DoMyOwnPestControl.com is if the product is working well for you, stick with it.

    Q
    Does Talstar P work on killing the brown marmorated stink bug?
    This seemingly useless creature is a real pest. Please help! Thanks very much
    A
    Talstar P will kill stinkbugs. You should dilute one ounce of Talstar P per gallon of water. You will use a hand pump sprayer to apply the solution on all door frames, window frames, areas where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure, a band of soil 6 to 10 feet adjacent to the structure, also to a height of 2 to 3 feet on the foundation where pests may be active or may find entrance. As the stink bugs crawl over the treated area, they will receive a lethal does of the insecticide and usually die within a few hours. You should treat every month starting in August and ending in November for best results.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used inside a house for stink bugs? We have pets.
    A
    Yes. Keep Talstar P applications to cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room, door frames, window frames and other areas where you see stinkbugs emerging. Be sure pets are out of the area while you are applying Talstar P, and they can return as soon as the product is dry.

    Any fruit that was sprayed should be discarded. Please call the manufacturer of Talstar, FMC, for further instructions 800-321-1362.

  • Asked by Dennis from Mechanicsville, Maryland

    Q
    Need help getting rid of biting flies, horseflies and other smaller biting flies by my swimming pool
    the flies are constantly buzzing around your head and biting when you are in the pool and on the one side of my yard primarily
    A
    Horseflies and many other species of biting flies tend to develop on the edge of bodies of water and since they are strong fliers these breeding areas can be near or far which makes finding the source next to impossible. You can apply a product such as Talstar P around the pool area and flies that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Using Talstar will give some relief but since these flies can fly over treated areas it can be tough to get complete control. Relief should be on the way soon however as horsefly season is usually on 3-6 weeks long.

  • Asked by Jerry from United States
    07/25/2012
    Q
    I intend to use Talastar P liquid in my yard for chinch bugs. Does it require watering in?
    A

    According to the Talstar P product label:

    Chinch Bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Irrigation of the grass area before treatment will optimize the penetration of the insecticide to the area where the chinch bugs are located. Use higher volume applications if the thatch layer is excessive or if a relatively long
    mowing height is being maintained. Chinch Bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher application rates (Up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) may be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the middle of the summer.

    Q
    Will Talstar kill baby giant Florida grasshoppers?
    These are also known as Lubbers- my information says they can be killed with certain insecticides, but only a few. This is a large property, and our exterminator recommended this product, but it's an expensive process which we don't mind paying for if it will be effective. They're still babies.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) can kill grasshoppers including lubbers.
