    Q
    Will Talstar kill the geckos?
    I don't want to kill the geckos just the Mosquitos will this work?
    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.

  • Asked by Chris from Summerland Key, Florida

    Q
    Mosquito yard treatment
    I am looking for a mosquito yard treatment for a gravel based yard about 800sqft in Summerland Key Florida. We get alot of rain and the humidity is high, so standing water is abundant as well as lots of tropical plant life.
    A
    We would recommend the Mosquito control kit. Talstar will hold up in rain after it has dried. Please be sure like any other insecticide to make your application when it is not raining. Talstar is safe to apply to non-edible plant life. Please be aware that this product is harmful to aquatic life and watch for run-off areas. The Bti Dunks will work great in large bodies of standing water, as it is a larvacide.

    Q
    Insecticide for propane foggers
    I want to use a propane fogger. I want to make my own insecticide solution from Talstar etc. What product can I use in a fogger without buying the premixed for fogger material? What products would you recommend?
    A
    We apologize but we are not aware of any product can be mixed with the Talstar in a propane fogger as Talstar is not labeled to be used in any type of fogging equipment.

  • Asked by Adrian from Greenville, Sc
    06/25/2015
    Q
    What kind of storage temperatures do the instructions refer to?
    When the instructions say, do not store in extreme temperatures, what kind of temperatures are they referring to? I store my Talstar P in my garage. During the summer, it gets hot in the garage. I would say probably between 95° F - 115° F depending on the time of day. I'm worried that the Talstar P is going to become ineffective because of this. Is this a possibility?
    A
    Most insecticide concentrates such as Talstar P must be stored in climate controlled environments. Ideal storage temperatures would be 45-85 degrees.

    Q
    What is the best and longest lasting mosquito product?
    I live in Southwest Louisiana and we have had a lot of rain lately thus a bad outbreak of the little bloodsuckers. I need a product that is not going to disappear after the first rainfall?
    A

    Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using any hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer.  The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio you are trying to provide relief at.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.  Best of all it will not harm any birds in the area.

    Q
    I am looking for a concentrated chemical that I can mix and put in my own sprayer.
    I want it to kill almost every kind of bug and insect, out side and inside. I don't have kids or animals to worry about. What is your best stuff?
    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.

  • Asked by Kim from Anderson Sc
    05/28/2014
    Q
    How many gallons will you need to pre treat a 2000 sq ft with Talsar P?
    I need pre treat 180 liner feet... 50 + 50+ 40+ 40+ 180 liner feet
    A
    Per the Talstar P product label for pre construction you would use 1 oz per gallon of water per 10 square feet, but Talstar is not the best product to use for this.  Termidor SC is the #1 termite product on the market. When used as an in-ground barrier treatment, Termidor SC will protect your home or business for over 10 years. Termidor SC is completely undetectable by termites and once termites touch it they contact, ingest and spread the termiticide until it eliminates the entire colony. Termidor SC controls all types of termites including subterranean, formosan, and drywood termites. Talstar P lasts for about 5 years in the ground and works as a repellent, killing only those insects that come into contact with the treated area.

  • Asked by Marilyn
    03/16/2010
    Q
    Does Talstar P work on bed bugs? And if so, how often should one apply your product?
    A
    Talstar P is labeled for bed bugs, but the Talstar label itself says it should not be used as the only product to get rid of a bed bug problem.  Typically, one product will not do the job.  That's why we offer our Bed Bug Kits, which have multiple products that are used in different areas in the bedroom and that do different things.  The kit is exactly the products that a professional company would use and charge you hundreds of dollars to apply.  All of our kits come with full instructions on where to apply each product.  We make it easy as possible for you to treat your own bed bug problem, and our kits have a very high success rate when used correctly.

  • Asked by R from Indianapolis, In
    03/05/2015
    Q
    Is Talstar as safe as the pyrethrum products claim to be?
    Would like to use safer products now that we have kiddos.
    A
    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. Unless other wise noted, the pesticides on our website are safe to use in a home with children. As with any product, it is important to follow the label instructions and precautions to ensure safety. Talstar P is non-irritating, non-staining and contains no odorous or plant-damaging solvents. It's even labeled for food-handling area.

  • Asked by Susan
    07/09/2011
    Q
    My leylands are infested with bagworms. I bought Talstar and sprayed in late June early July.
    It spit rain about 4 hrs after spraying and then poured about 2 days after. Should I retreat or wait a month or so?
    A
    Talstar P only needs an hour or two to dry, and once it is dry it does not matter if it rains 2 hours later or 2 weeks later, it should hold up the same once dry.  So our answer is, you do not need to re-treat just yet.  However, it would not, or should not anyways, hurt the tree if you wanted to apply a second application now that is not mixed as strong for good measure.

  • Asked by Rick from Hawi, Hi
    05/30/2019
    Q
    What surfactant would you use with Talstar P?
    We live in a wet part of Hawaii and we would like to spray the perimeter of our house for centipedes.
    A

    It is not usually required to use a surfactant with Talstar P but adding one will increase the effectiveness and help it stick to waxy leaves better. The Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker would be a great choice.

    Can I use Talstar on carpet, mattress, furniture indoors
    Have a 12week old kitten treating for fleas. Still feel the need to treat a couple of areas. Don't want to bomb. Can I spray carpet

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is listed indoor for cracks and crevices only. To treat carpets and furniture, we recommend using Alpine Flea Insecticide. Alpine Flea Insecticide Aerosol with IGR is the newest flea control product from the Alpine line of products.  Alpine products are made from dinotefuran which was granted a reduced risk status from the EPA.
