    Q
    Can Talstar P be used to control Zimmerman Pine Moth?
    A
    Talstar P would be a good choice for Zimmerman Pine Moth control. Most treatments for Zimmerman Pine Moths should be done mid April - August (depending on your region) to eliminate active larvae on the tree trunk before they enter the tree.

    Q
    I have a caterpillar eating the top of a blue spruce tree. What product do you recommend to kill them?
    The tree is about 7 feet tall and the caterpillar or worms are all over.
    A
    It is important to have the caterpillar identified so that we can make the best product recommendation for your needs. Without the exact identification we would recommend Talstar P as it is a broad spectrum insecticide that can be sprayed on blue spruce trees.

    06/11/2012
    Q
    Can I apply talstar to newly seeded grass?
    A
    Talstar P is water based and is known to be very gentle on plants and it should be fine to spray on your newly seeded grass. We do recommend that you do not spray during the hottest part of the day. We also recommend that you spray a small section and wait a couple of days before spraying all of the grass to make sure damage does not occur as some plants may be super sensitive to any chemical.

    Q
    Grasshoppers, plague proportions, what's the recommended product?
    I would like to use a hose end sprayer with the water hose. I see the video of a gallon jug - being used only around the edges and crevises. I've got to cover the entire ground.
    A
    You can use Talstar P to cover non fruit bearing trees, lawns, bushes, shrubs and other areas excluding edible vegetation. Talstar P can be used in a hose end sprayer and should be diluted 1 fl oz per gallon of water for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual for grasshopper control.

  • Asked by Roland from Santa Fe Tx, Galveston County
    06/29/2012
    Q
    What should I use for a heavy infection spidermites in 20 ft tall junipers?
    junipers 20ft tall how to best controll galveston tx.
    A
    Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. Talstar provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid- to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar. Talstar applications may be rotated with those of other products  that have different modes of action in control programs that are designed  to manage resistance by two-spotted spider mites. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for resistance management recommendations in your region.

  • Asked by Hiya from Portland, Oregon
    07/11/2012
    Q
    Can Talstar get tracked into the home?
    This product leaves a dry residual (which obviously then sticks to & kills bugs) and is also recommended for spraying around doorframes. Thus the dry residue will get stepped on when people come & go through the door, and so it seems at least some product will definitely get tracked into the house. This seems to be a possible health concern, as it will then get further tracked onto rugs/furniture/etc, where it is NOT supposed to be applied. Is this reasoning correct?
    A
    No. Talstar does not get stuck to bugs as you described. Talstar will bind to the surface on which it has been sprayed and insects must be on treated areas for a certain length of time to receive a lethal dose. That is why the Talstar P label recommends that you spray the product directly into areas where insects harbor and travel and that broad areas are treated around the home.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be sprayed on my cucumber plants or vegetable garden?
    A

    Talstar P cannot be used directly on vegetables or fruits that are going to be consumed. We do carry several products that can be used on cucumbers and other 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 links for them on each individual product page.

    Q
    What is a parasitic wasp? How do you treat the interior of a building?
    A

    A parasitic wasp is a beneficial wasp that uses other insects including aphids, beetles, caterpillars, flies, sawflies, scale insects and true bugs as hosts into or onto which it lays its eggs. The development of the wasp eggs will usually kill the host insect. Parasitic wasps are considered beneficial insects for the natural control of many pest insects that they provide. A number of parasitic wasp species are commercially available from insectaries.

    Talstar P is a great choice for treating the interior and exterior of most buildings and will eliminate over 75 different insect pests. Talstar P is diluted with water as specified by the product label and applied using a hand pump sprayer. Spray directly on baseboards, window frames, door frames, and places where utilities (pipes, wires, cables) enter in to the building and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can enter.

    Q
    Best treatment for small Black ants and centipedes?
    I have children and a dog, what would you recommend for small black ants and centipedes? Thank you!
    A
    We would recommend our most popular insecticide, Talstar.  It is a very safe product to use around children and pets and is widely used by professional companies every day in thousands of homes across the country.  It is odorless, can be used indoors and outdoors and it is labeled for over 80 different insects.  You would apply it using a one gallon hand pump sprayer.

    Q
    What product will safely kill caterpillars inside the home, as well as other common household pests all in 1?
    I live in NC and we've had a lot of rain lately; not sure if that has anything to do with it, but more and more I have noticed caterpillars crawling across my carpet in various parts of the house. In addition, which product would be best to kill these caterpillars and other pests outside the home and in the lawn?
    A
    Talstar P is our most popular general pest control product. Talstar P is labeled for caterpillars and is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

    Q
    Do you have a product like Talstar P that can be shipped to New York for Japanese beetle control?
    I HATE Japanese beetles - I have a routine of swearing, hand-plucking, and stomping! That is NOT working for the hundreds and hundreds that we have. I was excited to see you recommend your Talstar and then....shot down when I see you can't sell it to me in New York - any other ideas? We and three neighbors have beetle bags that are filling up weekly
    A

    Unfortunately, there is not another product that is comparable to Talstar P for Japanese Beetles that can be shipped to New York. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for recommendations.

    Q
    Do you recommend any pest control for wood mulch around a play set?
    We have put up a play set (swings, slide, sand box), and we have put wood mulch around it as a cushion for the play set. I have been told that ants (and other undesired bugs) make this their home. Is there something I can use that is kid friendly (my daughter is old enough not to eat the wood chips) if any gets on her hands or feet?
    A
    You can spray around the perimeter of the play area with Talstar P. Talstar P has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for up to three months after you have sprayed it. Plus, Talstar P is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and will not break down easily with rainfall. We do not recommend spraying any insecticides directly on areas where children will be coming in skin contact on a regular basis.

    Q
    Is Talstar P safe if you have dogs and cats?
    A
    Talstar P is safe to use around animals. As long as they are out of the area while you are spraying, they can return as soon as the area is dry. Talstar P is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and will not break down easily with rainfall.

    Q
    What is the usage rate of Talstar P for bird mites?
    I am spraying indoors. My condo has 700 sq. feet. How often should I spray?
    A

    Talstar is not actually labeled for bird mites, so there is no actual guideline for applying it for this pest.  Onslaught would be a better option and is labeled for mites in general and customers have mentioned success with it.

    Q
    Can Cy-Kick CS be mixed with Talstar P for mosquito control?
    If so how much of each product per gallon to treat 1000 sqft? If not Talstar what can be mixed for quick knockdown and at what rate/gallon/1000sqft
    A
    No. Cy-Kick CS and Talstar P are both synthetic pyrethroids and there would be no valid reason to mix them together. We recommend that you stick with the Talstar P. Use 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water to treat a 1,000 sq ft area for the best knockdown and the longest residual. If you want a faster knockdown than the Talstar P alone can provide you can add 1 oz ExciteR to the Talstar/water mixture. ExciteR is a pyrethrin product which provides a super fast knockdown but no residual.

    Q
    What are the two tops to the Talstar P bottle for?
    On Talstar P has 2 outlets, how come, what do I do with 2 outlets.
    A
    Most professional pest control products come in a bottle with a built in measuring device.  The top to the left has a measuring reservoir that measures in 1/2 and 1 ounce increments so you can easily mix the product with water.  The right hand side is just a normal top that will allow all of the product to come out.  Most people never open the right hand side though because most people just use an ounce at a time.
