    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with a weed killer?
    A

    Most insecticides and herbicides are able to be tank mixed together, just make sure you follow each product label instructions for "tank mixing" instructions. You would want to keep kids out of the area while treating, they can return once the are has completely dried

    Q
    I accidentally mixed 2 oz of Talstar to 1 gallon of water. Will that make the product less effective?
    A

    It should not harm anything to apply Talstar at this rate one time. We recommend that you wait for 30 days outside (90 days inside) to reapply at the rate of 0.5-1 oz per gallon of water.

  • Asked by James from Wayne, Il

    Q
    On a Stihl backpack blower, what meter setting is best to use to apply Talstar for mosquitoes?
    A

    As long as you are using the Talstar P at the proper dilution rate in the tank, the metering rate would just be dependent on how quickly you are walking during application.  Unfortunatley, we do not carry Stihl blowers so we cannot give you an exact answer.  However, we can thell you that with our Solo 451 blower, we suggest a metereing rate of 2 (from a range of 1-4) for a normal pace during application.  For most applications, you will mix 0.5-1 oz per gallon per 1,000 sq ft.

  • Asked by Scott from Frenchtown
    06/18/2018
    Q
    What spray product would you recommend to kill and or repel mosquitoes without harming honey bees?
    A

    A broad-spectrum insecticide such as Talstar P could potentially kill bees if they are sprayed directly or if they contact the treated areas. For this reason, we do not recommend spraying residual insecticides on flowering plants, and we recommend spraying in the morning or evening when pollinators are less active. There is a product called Mavrik Perimeter which is non-toxic and non-repellent to honey bees once dry. Another option would be to use a repellent such as Mosquito Barrier which is only a repellent once dry.

    Q
    What type of face mask can I use to apply Talstar P.
    A

    A mask is not required to apply Talstar P if you are applying in a well-venitlated area.  If you are applying in a small, confined space with poor ventilation, you can use something like the N95 Valved Respirator Mask.  Please be advised that we are only able to ship within the U.S. at this time.

    08/30/2018
    Q
    Is Talstar P a contact kill?
    Just worried they won't die because I directly spray one and it didn't die just wanted to run away but a little slow.
    A

    Talstar P does not provide an instant knockdown of pests, rather, pests pick up the residual active ingredient by contact.  It works by disrupting an insect's nervous system, causing a weakened state followed by death.

    Q
    Is Talstar safe to use around pregnant dairy goats and chickens?
    Trying to find a safe option for our neighbor to use that will not affect our chickens, pullets, and pregnant dairy goats. Everything their company has brought up using is not for use around dairy goats so far. We have lost several animals to toxicity poisoning and do not want to lose any more.
    A

    Talstar P is safe to use around chickens and livestock as long as the animals aren’t grazing in the treated areas. After the application, you need to wait until the area is completely dry before letting the animals back onto the treated areas.
