    Q
    Can Talstar and Cyper WP be combined in solution for simultaneous application?
    My pest control operator states that is what he is doing
    A

    There is no real reason to mix both Talstar and Cyper. They kill pretty much the same insects. One or the other would most likely do the job.

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.

    Q
    I want to do my own pest control. What should I buy?
    I live in Gilbert, Arizona. We get spiders, ear wig, roaches....
    A

    The best general pest control can depend on what region you are located in. One of the all time favorite general pest control products is Talstar P. Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it. Plus, Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall. Also for roaches, you want to use a bait like Maxforce Impact, Up in areas  you are not spraying Talstar. Please see the roach bait placement guide, as well.

    Q
    im planning on opening a mosquito control company what is the best product
    i would preffer the safest around kids,animals
    A
    We would recommend using Talstar SC. It is a very good general insecticide that is labeled for mosquitoes, as well as various other pests. We would not recommend spraying Talstar SC in areas where children and/or pets are. Once the product is dry, it is safe for them to return. The residual outdoors is about 30 days. This can be braodcast across the lawn, sprayed on ornamentals, trees and flowers. It is not labeled to be sprayed on any type of edibles. This product can also be sprayed around the baseboards and cracks and crevices indoors. The residual indoors is 90 days.

  • Asked by Daniel from Norco
    05/24/2015
    Q
    Does Talstar kill spider mites and can it be sprayed after oil or sulfur has been sprayed?
    Is Talstar ok to use plants have been sprayed with horticultural oil or sulfur?
    A
    We would recommend doing the application of Talstar P before doing an application of horticultural oil or sulfur. This will provide the residual for the pests, and the other products will help with killing them as well. Spraying Talstar P over either one of these will likely decrease the effectiveness of the oil and/or sulfur.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used with an IGR?
    Wooded 5 acre lawn surrounded by cattle ranch. Ticks and fleas major issue. Have both dogs and cats who roam - ie bring the beasties home. Animals treated heavily, what to do for yard? need good residual and rain resistance.
    A
    Talstar P can be applied with an IGR (insect growth regulator). It is safe for pets as long as they remain out of the area during treatment and return only when the surfaces have dried completely. It should not be applied where there are grazing animals such as cattle. It is labeled for ticks and fleas outside and offers a 30 day outdoor residual.
    For best results, allow 24 hours after outdoor application before expected rainfall.

    Q
    Best option for Mosquito on acreage with tow sprayer
    I have a double lot with mowed grass and ditch. Total area to spray is 2.5 acres aprox. I use a 15 gallon spryaer to apply chemical but have bad mosquito problem. I have been looking at the Talstar but alot of people say use malthion. Which works better and will have longer effect? Also, is switching to a mister a realistic option for such a large area?
    A
    The pull behind, would still be that best option  for the coverage you need. Talstar mixed with Nyguard and water would be the most effective on the mosquito and flying insect problem. As long as there are no edibles in the area.

  • Asked by Jesse from Austin Tx
    06/18/2015
    Q
    How much Talstar P should I put in a 50 gal sprayer?
    I'v got fleas at my house so I bought a rig for my Big Yard.
    A
    When treating your yard for fleas with Talstar P you can use anywhere between 0.5 ounces and 1 oz per gallon of water. So anywhere between 25 and 50 ounces to your 50 gallon sprayer. Keep in mind when treating for fleas, its important to use an IGR (insect birth control) to help stop the reproductive cycle. If you only use a portion of the yard closest to the home you could just mix the IGR with the Talstar and spray them both in those areas that you frequent the most or the pets frequent. We would recommend NyGuard IGR to mix in your tank.

    Q
    Earwig Infestation
    I have hundreds of earwigs that crawl on the exterior of my home - foundation and siding all the way to the eaves of my house. We get 5 to 10 inside a day. I need a powerful granule to kill them in the ground and something to prevent them from crawling on the side of the house. I have a .5 acres of land and have done everything I can do to keep the area around my house cleaned up. I have caulked the obvious cracks and put up weather stripping.
    A
    First, do you have mulch or pinstraw around your home? If so, pull that off your house.  Talstar P would be a great choice for earwigs. You can spray both indoors and outdoors with this product. Talstar P, one of our best sellers, has a long residual, is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and wont break down easily with rainfall. Also, be sure to focus on mulched areas, or areas that hold moisture in the lawn.
