    Q
    What is the mixing ratio for dry wood termites using Talstar P (Talstar One)?
    I have active termites coming through ceiling in one closet, annual issue.
    A

     

    According to the Talstar P product label, you will need to use 1 oz of Talster per gallon of water and then apply at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet of trench. You will need to calculate how many linear feet you have around the structure you wish to treat to find out how much Talstar you will need to purchase. Please take a few minutes to read over our termite article How to do a Termite Treatment so you will have a better understanding of what may be required for the treatment process. Drywood termites require treatment with a product such as Bora-Care. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Drywood Termites for additional tips.

    Q
    What product is best for killing ticks outside?
    A

    Talstar P mixed with an Insect Growth regulator such as Nyguard IGR would be a good choice for tick control. Talstar P would work to kill ticks that come into contact with treated surfaces while the Nyguard would work to help stop juvenile ticks from reaching sexual maturity. We recommend using  the highest usage rate of 1 oz Talstar  and 1 oz of Nyguard IGR per gallon of water.

    Q
    What time of day should I spray Talstar?
    Can Ii spray half one day other half next day or can i least wait do it in am and finish in pm?
    A

    There is no particular time that you have to spray. Most people spray outside in early in the morning or when there is the least amount of insect activity. You will mix 1 oz of Talstar P with 1 gallon of water. That will treat 1,000 sq feet.

    Q
    Will Talstar P kill hookworms in my yard?
    My dogs are getting hookworms and my vet is saying it's coming from my yard.
    A

    Unfortunately there is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for hookworms. While some insecticides like Talstar P (Talstar One) are labeled for turf or lawn infesting insect may work, there has not been enough research to add hookworms to the product labels. We recommend that all animals be moved out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation.  Another option is to remove the contaminated soil and replace if you cannot keep out for 1 year.

  • Asked by Kyle from Govols, Tn

    Q
    Can Talstar P be tank mixed with a soluble fertilzer formulation, and foliar application to Knockout Roses?
    I have knockout rose beds that are difficult to access once the roses are in spring growth. I need to control adult Japanese beetles that are actively feeding on the roses. My only choice is foliar treatment for both insecticides and fertilization. It would save time if I could perfom beetle treatment and foliar fertilization in one application. Also, is this the best product for foliar application treatment of adult Japanese Beetles on roses?
    A

    Talstar P can be tank mixed as long as both product labels are followed for rates.  Talstar is a great product to use for beetles, just avoid spraying the blooms to prevent burning/harm.

    Q
    Can I kill carpenter ants in an outside all wood building using Talstar P?
    I am not able to do drilling and need something that is effective, easy and not to costly.
    A

    Talstar P can be used to kill carpenter ants that are sprayed directly or which contact the residual spray. However, Talstar P will not transfer throughout an ant colony to kill the entire colony. If you are finding carpenter ants trailing indoors, then we recommend our Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit, which includes two different baits, refillable bait stations, and a residual spray with two active ingredients. If the ants are in a wall void and you are unable to bait for them, then another great option is applying a ready-to-use non-repellent foam such as FUSE Foam into the wall void where the nest is. Please refer to our online Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more tips.

    Q
    permethrin with talstar p
    can you mix permethrin with talstar in a 1 gallon backpack blower fogger system to treat for mosquitos? would one chemical neautralize the other?
    A
    There would be no need to mix the two together as it will not make your spray any stronger, and the labels do not permit being mixed with other insecticides. Both products are synthetic pyrethroids and could possibly take away from the effectiveness of each other. If you were to mix anything together to increase your control over mosquitoes, it would be the use of a birth control like NyGuard IGR. This keeps the population from being able to breed and reproduce which cuts back the problem drastically.

    Q
    Does the liquid reactivate once it gets wet again after the initial application dries?
    A
    The Talstar stays active after it dries so it does not need to get wet to effectively control the insects. Indoors it will last up to 90 days and outdoors it can typically hold up to the outdoor elements for 30 days at least.
