  • Asked by Harry from Deland, Fl
    03/13/2017
    Q
    How can I get rid of fungus gnats in my yard?
    A

    Fungus gnats are usually found breeding in landscaped areas/lawns that are over-watered. You should be careful to let area dry out completely, which will kill any larvae in the soil.  You could also treat the area with something like Talstar P, which has great residual protection and also can be used for a wide variety of crawling pests and lawn and ornamental pests outside.  Gnats that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Talstar P will not repel the gnats from the area nor will it kill the gnats that do not land on the treated areas.  It is best to resolve the issues that are causing water to build in areas and provide a breeding site for them.

  • Asked by Rogger from Fresno, Ca
    03/13/2017
    Q
    I am looking for a better and more economical version of Ortho Home Defense, perhaps a concentrate that I mix. What do you have?
    A

    The best general pest control can depend on what region you are located in. One of the most popular general pest control products is Talstar P. Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for up to three months after you've applied it. It is also odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

    Q
    Will Talstar P still provide mosquito control in a small yard even if my neighbors do not maintain their yard?
    I want a treatment plan for mosquitoes. Here is my problem. My yard is only 50ft deep and 100ft wide. I can spray my yard and shrubs with Talstar P, but since it is such a small area, won't the mosquitoes just come over from my neighbors? -they have lots of plants and foliage and don't keep things nice and trim. Their bad habits die hard, so talking to them is not a long term solution. Will Talstar P provide me some releif, or am I wasting my efforts and money?
    A

    With mosquito control you want to not only be sure that the foliage on your trees and ornamentals are taken care of by maintenance and spraying, but that any standing water no matter how small is either eliminated your treated with a larvicide so the breeding cycle in the mosquitoes can be disrupted. Talstar P is one of our most recommended products for mosquito control. It will keep down the population even if your neighbor doesn't to the yard maintenance that you do.

  • Asked by Mark from Charleston, Sc

    Q
    When to apply mole cricket control?
    I believe I have an issue with mole crickets. There are smaller (about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch wide) tunnels running through an area that is lower than the rest of the yard, and has lots of dead grass. I have been reading that one wants to apply a mole cricket treatment to kill the nymphs/younger mole crickets, but I'm not sure about timing. The weather in my area is in the south, and it varies a tremendous amount. 75 at the highest, and 40 or so at night. Any tips? What would you guys suggest? Should I use Talstar?
    A

    Talstar would be a great product to use for mole crickets and gives complete instructions on the product label for timing on the different stages though you should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.
