    Q
    I have a lot of small flies in my lawn. What is the best and safest product to eliminate them?
    I don't know what kind of flys they are but they are small and swarm out of the grass when I am mowing. I live in the San Francisco Bay area.
    A
    Talstar P is labeled to help control many types of flies and can be applied to your lawn. We do recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and try to get the fly identified to make sure you are choosing the correct product for your needs.

    Do you know if Talstar P impacts hummingbirds?
    I plan to spray my yard for mosquitos and roaches and hope this won't impact the birds that live in the area. I get quite a few hummingbird visitors in Houston TX

    Talstar P is a very safe product when used as directed on the product label. In fact, Talstar P is even labeled to be used in poultry houses where birds come in direct contact with the product.

    Q
    Can I apply Talstar P with a tank sprayer and water it in with irrigation?
    I have a 1-acre yard to treat. Reading the label for high volume application, can I apply the concentrated amount of Talstar P with my tank sprayer and then water it in with irrigation to achieve the high volume application results? Thank you.
    A
    Talstar can only be applied to your yard mixed with water first. Using it the manor you described is against label usage, and you risk not only damaging your lawn by applying it directly to the yard, but also watering it in aftewards would be the equivalent of having a rain storm and it would wash the product away. You need to mix it at the proper dilution ratios for the tank size you have and spray it across the property when you know no rain is expected for at least 6-8 hours after the product has dried. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us or the manufacturer FMC at 800-321-1362.

    06/11/2013
    Q
    I need a product for indoors and outdoors, safe for pets in the house, kill roaches, spiders, beetles & ants?
    Is there one product that will work for indoors and outdoors. Is safe for pets (once product is dry) and will kill spiders, roaches, beetles, "pincher bugs" and ants.
    A
    You could use a product like Talstar P as this is a very safe product to use, will dry clear and has no odor, and will cover all the insects you mention and many more. It can be used indoors around baseboards and cracks and crevices and outdoors on pretty much any surface with the exception of edible vegetation. Spray the Talstar 2 feet up around the foundation of the home and 2-3 feet out on the ground and around all entry points like window and door frames, and around pipes that enter the home. Once the product has dried you, your children and pets can re-enter the area with normal activity.

    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 Ricky from Nc

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P in garden for bug control on plants ?
    A
    Talstar cannot be used directly on vegetables or fruits that are going to be consumed. We do carry several products that can be used on edible vegetation such as Sevin and Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10%. Always read the product label of the product you select to make sure it is labeled for the plant you want to spray and for the pest you are trying to eliminate. The product labels are available for each product on our site and you can see the product label links on each individual product page

    Q
    Applying Talstar P to plants
    I have read many of the previously submitted questions, but there always seems to be a general, blanket statement provided in regard to applying Talstar P to plants. I still wonder if there are any plants, shrubs, bushes , ornamental bushes or flowers which can be adversely affected by applying Talstar P as specified per instructions. I know it is not to be used on edible foods.
    A
    There are certain plants of trees such as the Japanese red maple which we would caution you before applying any product. If in doubt on treating a certain plant you should treat one plant only or one small area of the plant with the Talstar before treating the whole plant. Wait at least three days to see the results before continuing.

  • Asked by Brett from Kihei, Hawaii

    Q
    Is it ok to spray Talstar P on sliding glass patio doors?
    When doing the outdoor treatment of the house with Talstar P, your video suggests I spray 2 feet up the house and 2 feet along the ground. When I get to a sliding glass door, should I spray 2 feet up on the glass door? What about on the sliding screen door, should I spray the bottom two feet of the screen door too?
    A
    When treating around patio doors you will want to spray all around the frame of the door itself and where the doors slide past each other, as well as along the track the doors slide on. You would not need to spray the glass to get an effective treatment.

    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
    Mud Daubers
    How does this product fare against mud daubers? i dont see them listed on the insect label. i'm looking for something that has a residual killing effect for mud daubers and all types of wasps and bees
    A
    Talstar P will kill mud daubers that come into contact with treated areas for a sufficient amount of time to receive a lethal dose. You will need to dilute 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water and broadcast spray over the areas where you have noticed activity. Most folks notice only very limited results from broadcast sprays of insecticides for cicada killers because they don't land and walk around for a long enough time before entering their underground burrow. For a more direct treatment, you can use Delta dust in each individual burrow. You may also want to consider our Wasp and Hornet Control Products.

    I had a professional pest control company that I no longer use. They only used an outside barrier spray, but never had insects, except maybe a few ants.
