  • Asked by Tanya from Centerburg, Oh
    09/04/2018
    Q
    I just realized I was mixing the Talstar P (Talstar One) too strong at 3 oz to a gallon. What should I do?
    A

    Making a pesticide like Talstar P (Talstar One) too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.  Simply wipe down, or wash off areas of application and re-apply at the correct rate of 1 oz to a gallon of water.

    Can I mix weed killer and Talstar together?

    In most cases, Talstar P can be mixed with a herbicide as long as the mixing instructions on both product labels are followed.  It is recommended to do a small jar test first to be sure that the products are compatible.

    Q
    Is Talstar P Professional Insecticide safe to spray directly on hogs and horses?

    Talstar P should not be applied to hogs or horses. It is safe to use around 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 non-grazing treated areas.

  • Asked by Ivan from Edison, Nj
    11/12/2012
    Q
    Can i apply Talstar P on furniture/couches?
    I have a flea problem and i have some living in my couches. Is it safe to spray down the couch or other furniture that has cloth?
    A
    You cannot spray furniture with Talstar. Talstar P cannot be used as a broadcast spray indoors and would not be a good choice for indoor flea control. We recommend you use Ultracide for indoor flea control. It is our recommendation and industry standard that you vacuum immediately before the application of Ultracide and every day or every other day after the application for the next two weeks. Vacuums can physically remove a decent percentage of flea eggs that are in the carpet, along with much of the organic crud that the flea larvae feed on. A critical part of the diet of the larva is dried blood, present there as fecal material from the fleas that are on the pets. Wherever the pets spend time, they will shed the fecal matter and the eggs, so it is extremely important that you focus on these potential hot spots where the pets sleep. A vacuum also will remove a small percentage of larvae, but the larva is pretty tenacious, and will wrap around the carpet fibers down there at the base of the pile, and hold on for dear life as the vacuum passes by. The pupa is even tougher to physically remove, for it uses fibers as part of its "cocoon". The vacuum will stimulate the flea adults still in their pupa form to quickly emerge as the adult, and at this point perhaps be sucked up in the vacuum. Even if they are not removed by the vacuum, at least they now are exposed and susceptible to your treatment.   After two weeks most infestations require that you do a second application of the Ultracide and continue with the vacuuming. You should use a product that is registered to use on your pets for fleas such as Prefurred or Advantage. Talstar P can be used effectively outdoors for places where your pets may frequent and also moist shady areas. Treating outdoors will help prevent your pets from re-infesting your home.

    Absolutely! Talstar P would be a great choice for you. It does not have an odor, dries clear, can be used on and around flowers and indoors. Talstar P is one of the most popular products for professionals and homeowners.

    Q
    I have a great crop of moss in my shaded back yard. Will Talstar eliminate it?
    A
    Talstar is an insecticide only and will not have any effect on moss. Burnout Weed and Grass Killer is a non-selective herbicide that is labeled to control moss. You should spray this product only on the moss and avoid getting it on desirable plants.

    Q
    What is the best product for eliminating or at least reducing army cut worms?
    I believe cut worms develop into millers that invade every crack and crevice every spring and most of the summer here in Wyoming.
    A
    Talstar P is one of the most commonly used products to get rid of army worms in lawns. If you need to treat edible vegetation for this pest a spinosad based product would be recommended such as Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew.

    Q
    Does Talstar P kill kudzu bugs? Which should I use Talstar P or Demon WP?
    A
    Both Talstar P and Demon WP will kill kudzu bugs. If you are spraying porous surfaces you would want to choose the Demon WP because it will stay up on the surface a bit more and be more available to the insects. If you need to spray plants, trees and siding Talstar P would be a great choice.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used with Archer IGR?
    I would like ot use pet and child safe products that are also broad spectrum and Archer IGR and Talstar P seem to fit the bill. I would like to use both an IGR and adulticide so as to get as much as possible at all stages of development. Is Talstar P and Archer IGR a good combination? Could they maybe just be used on the ame areas a couple opf weeks apart, maybe spraying first with Archer IGR and then coming back and spraying with Talstar?
    A
    Talstar P and Archer IGR can be mixed into the same gallon of water so you only have to spray once. Archer can be mixed with most insecticides in this way.

    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.

  • Asked by Doug from Nampa, Idaho
    05/21/2013
    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.

    Q
    Can you use gas powered fogger with this product
    A
    Talstar is not designed to be fogged so if you have a thermal/propane fogger you would need a product like Shockwave. If you are using a gas powered mister/blower like our Solo 451, then Talstar would be an excellent option and can be used in this type of unit.

  • Asked by Melanie from Prairie Grove, Arkansas
    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.
