  • Asked by Luis from El Paso
    06/08/2016
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with another insecticide like Suspend SC in one tank?
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Suspend SC and Talstar P together.  Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Suspend SC already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

    Q
    What time of day is most effective to spray Talstar P outside to kill mosquitos?
    I'm using a Stihl AR200 back
    A

    We recommend applying Talstar anytime of the day EXCEPT during the middle of the day.  The key with mosquitoes is to apply to the underside of the leaves as that is where the adults lay during the day.

  • Asked by Jay from Kansas City, Mo
    05/12/2017
    Q
    What is the best all around pesticide for home barrier treatment?
    I have general little black ants, spiders, wasps, and many other insects. No major infestations that I know of, but now that spring is here we are seeing a lot more insects. What is the best wide range and long lasting insecticide? I read Talstar, Termidor, Temprid, Bifen, etc. and it is confusing as to which is the best product for general pest control. Also, is there one better for inside and one better for outside? Thanks
    A

    We typically recommend Talstar P for general home pest control.  It is labeled for over 75 different pests, so it will work for all of the ones you mentioned as well as many others.  It can be used indoor and outdoors, and it is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.  You will want to treat every 90 days indoors, and every 30 days outdoors.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    06/01/2017
    Q
    Can you tank mix Talstar with an herbicide?
    A

    You can mix Talstar P with an herbicide as long as there are no restrictions on the label for the other product that you are using. We recommend performing a small jar test for compatibility any time you are using two new products together for the first time. Be mindful that you are only applying your herbicide in the correct areas.

    Q
    can you mix talstar pro with demon wp?
    Do the insecticides loose their potency if you mix 3 scoops of demon EP and 2 ounces of talstar pro in 1 1/4 gallons of water? For indoor use
    A
    These products should not be mixed together. There is no valid reason to mix Demon WP and Talstar P together.  Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Demon WP already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

  • Asked by Jeff from Potomac, Md

    Q
    Something growing in my Talstar P
    I have a 3/4 gal bottle of Talstar P. It is one year old. I have used it in my 2 homes and it is very effective. But today, I went to use it and noticed some dark green or grey black splotches in the measuring area of the bottle. There was only residual product in that part. I measured out the amount I needed and when I poured it out, it was somewhat clumpy. Which indicates a fungus growing in there. Just want to know your thoughts. I keep the bottle in my basement in a cabinet, so there is no light hitting the bottle. Thanks!
    A

    We apologize that there appears to be fungus like substance in your bottle of Talstar P. There was an issue with one Lot of 3/4 gallon Talstar from FMC last year. We would be more than happy to ship you a new bottle or refund you for this bottle from the defective Lot. You can call us at 866-581-7378 to follow up of this matter up.

  • Asked by Terence from Stamford,ct
    04/16/2014
    Q
    Will Talstar work against camel crickets
    A
     Talstar P will kill camel crickets. Apply Talstar P as a crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Do not use as a space spray. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices. We recommend treating the outside perimeter to help stop insect pests from coming indoors to start with. Apply Talstar P to a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet.

    Q
    What is the best product to treat 1 acre for mosquitoes, ticks and flea control that I can do myself?
    A

    An insecticide like Talstar P would be a great option for you for all of these pests, along with many others.  It is recommended to also use an insect growth regulator (IGR) like Archer IGR for fleas and ticks to stop them from reproducing.  Both of these products can be applied with a hand pump sprayer.  You may also want to look over our Pest Prevention Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Sam from Richmond, Va
    07/12/2018
    Q
    How much Talstar P should I mix to eliminate roaches?
    On the label it says to mix it to .5 however on the website it says no numbers greater than .06. There's nothing specifically about roaches but we're judging off of around the size of cicadas scorpions earwigs etc. what would you suggest? This is for inside use
    A

    For roach control using Talstar P, we would recommend using the higher rate of 1 oz. of Talstar P per gallon of water. Keep in mind that you should not rely on a spray like Talstar P as the only product you are using to eliminate a roach infestation. We also recommend using a roach bait gel and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) for the most complete roach control. We sell these items together in our Roach Control Kits. Please take a few moments to review our online Roach Treatment Guide for more tips.
