    Q
    I have chickens who free range in my around and along my home.
    After the treatment has dried will eating the grass and bugs harm my chickens?
    A
    Talstar P is labeled to be used in poultry houses and chicken pens so it should not harm your chickens. You must make sure your chickens are out of the area while you apply Talstar P and then they can return to the area as soon as it is dry.

    Q
    Is Bifenthrin (Talstar) or a different product better suited for rodent/bird mites?
    After a month of getting mysterious bites on our bodies, we found mites in the bathroom. Not a huge infestation but 8-10 here and there. An entomologist identified the mite as most likely rodent/bird mites. We have yet to find the source of the mites as no nests or burrows have been found by us or an exterminator. He suggested using bifenthrin and diatomaceous earth to control the problem. I have yet to use bifenthrin. I sealed up the cracks and gaps in the bathroom as best I could and laid down diatomaceous earth around the toilet. I saw fewer mites after this but they continue to appear especially on the toilet. Should I go ahead and try bifenthrin or is there another product better suited for this siutation?
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for nor recommended for bird mites. Onslaught Insecticide would be a better option and is labeled for mites in general.

    Q
    Is there a way to deter horse flies? We get alot of them by our pool.
    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

    Q
    What is the proper indoor application for Talstar?
    I live in China and hired a company that uses this product but it is difficult to communicate. Should Talstar be sprayed only in cracks and crevices or on walls? Can it be sprayed in food cupboards?
    A
    Talstar P should only be applied as a coarse, low pressure, crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipers, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refirgerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas.  It is not labeled to be used in cabinets.  You can find complete instructions on the product label here.

    Q
    Will your product get rid of moles?
    A friend told me about this product for moles, but I didn't see moles mentioned.
    A
    Talstar P is labled to control grubs which will in turn cause moles to go elsewhere because their food source has been eliminated but Talstar P does not kill moles. This type of treatment can take some time to see results so we would recommend that you take a look at our Mole Control Page.

    Q
    What is the best method to kill fire ant mounds using Talstar P?
    A

    Yes, Talstar P can be used for fire ant control in the type of sprayer you described, but you will also need to do mound drenching. According to the Talstar P product label, "Fire Ant Mound control is optimized by combining broadcast applications that will control foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens with mound drenches that will control existing colonies. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application or use a high volume application. Apply broadcast treatments at 0.5 to 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet. Use enough finished volume to penetrate thatch or sod. Treat mounds by applying 1 oz of Talstar P per mound in 1 to 2 gallons water by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet out around the mound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12”. Treat mounds with sufficient force to break their apex and allow the insecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 - 80F) or in early morning or late evening hours."

    Q
    I have a wasp and hornet Apocalypse going on out here at our house! Will this do the job at getting them gone?
    Wasps Bees Hornets
    A

    Talstar will kill any wasp, bee, or hornet that comes into contact with a treated area.  Keep in mind that this is not a contact kill product, so it can take up to 24 hours for an insect to die after contacting a treated surface.  You can also use a product like Wasp Freeze as a contact kill.  If you know where any of the nests are located, you can use Wasp Freeze to treat those directly as well.  It is best to apply any insecticides in the early morning or evening when the wasps/bees/hornets are least active.

  • Asked by Matt from Md

    Q
    Talstar mixed with Trimec, Tenacity, Drive, fertilizer, etc
    I would like to tank mix the following in a 35 gallon sprayer in the appropriate amounts for my 1 acre yard, Talstar, fertilizer, tenacity, DyneAmic, & blue marker in the early spring. And then Talstar, fertilizer, trimec, drive, DyneAmic. and blue marker in the summer and fall. I *think* from reading labels and Q&A here, that these mixes are acceptable and 35 gallons of water is enough to not have anything be too hot. This mix in this tank towed behind my tractor should (I think) cover my entire yard, which is about 38,000 SqFt. There seems to be a few Q&As that say never to mix insecticides with other treatments. But then there are lots that say it's fine.
    A

    There are typically no issues mixing different kinds of sprays together, such as an insecticide and fertilizer or fertilizer with herbicide. We always recommend doing a small jar test for compatability when mixing any products together for the first time, unless the product labels expressly address the tank mix you are using.

    There are two things I would caution you against with these mixtures. One is if you are using herbicides for your turfgrass and wanting to use an insecticide for mosquito control at the same time. For mosquito control, you want to use a product like Talstar P on ornamental shrubs, tree branches, etc.; however, you should not spray post-emergent herbicides like Drive, Tenacity, or Trimec on these areas since those herbicides would damage your ornamental plants.

    We would also be careful about mixing more than 2 herbicides at one time since this could cause extra stress on your turfgrass.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Patricia from Sunset, La
    05/06/2019
    Q
    Is Talstar effective against termites?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled to treat for termites and 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. A better option for subterranean termites non repellent termiticide such as Termidor SC or Dominion 2L. Termidor will last up to to 10 years in the soil and Dominion 2L will last 5-7 years. Non repellents work slower but much more effectively when treating a termite colony as they are able to be transferred thorought the entire colony therefore eventually elimating the colony. Talstar P will only repel the termites, not kill the entire colony.

    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.
