  • Asked by William from Villages Fl
    09/13/2016
    Q
    Do I have to remove thatch prior to Talstar P application for chinch bugs on a St Augustine lawn in FL?
    A

    Talstar P are one of the most effective chinch bug treatments on the market. Chinch bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Chinch bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher applications rates will be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer. It may also be necessary to remove the thatch layer if it exceeds 1 inch in thickness to allow the Talstar to penetrate down to the soil.

    If you have a few small spots the St. Augustine runners might fill it in this season (of course water, fertilizer, and lots of sunshine helps). If large portions of the lawn were damaged it will likely be late spring or later of next year before the lawn recovers. Very heavily damaged areas may need to be resodded.

  • Asked by John from Austin Tx
    08/28/2016
    Q
    Should I alternate Talstar One with another pesticide to prevent resistance?
    I have used Talstar One plus Archer IGR on my yard for two summers to prevent mosquitoes and they've worked very well. I read that mosquitoes can develop resistance to bifethtin. Should I rotate with another pesticide, and if so, how often and which one do you recommend?
    A

    Yes, rotating insecticides is a good idea to prevent resistance however this normally takes years to happen. Some customer rotate every year or when they start to notice the product may not be working as well as it did in the beginning. It would not hurt to use another active ingredient for your next treatment, a great alternative to Talstar is Suspend SC. Mix 1.5oz Suspend SC with 1 gallon of water along with the Archer IGR for Mosquito control

  • Asked by Tabor
    08/09/2016
    Q
    How long does it take for a Talstar P (Talstar One) formula to kill a nest of bees when applied for them to carry back to nest?
    The orkin man applied this to my Eve's and roof because the nest is unreachable. I swear all he did was feed them. They seem very content coming and going. It has been applied for 24 hours now.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) does not kill by transfer. Talstar P (Talstar One) will kill the bees after they contact the solution. This can take hours after contacting the treated area. It likley will not eliminate the entire nest. We would recommend a product like Delta Dust in which the adults will carry into the nest to the larvae.

  • Asked by Michael from Ocean Cty, Nj

    Q
    Is Talstar P recommended for use in protecting arborvitae from insects?
    A number of my arborvitae are thinning and browning, and although I do not see any infestation, I would like to rule out bug infestation as a problem.
    A

    Talstar P is labeled to be sprayed around ornamentals and in landscaped areas. So it should be safe for the arborvitae that you are asking about. As with any new area of spraying we suggest that you do a small test area just to be sure that it is tolerant of the product before doing a complete broadcast over the entire area.

    Q
    How to treat a walk in attic space with Talstar P and Delta Dust?
    I am planning to treat for brown recluse in our house. I purchased Talstar P and Delta Dust. I think I understand the treatment procedure in the main living space but want to know how/where to treat my walk in attic space.
    A

    You can use Talstar P in your attic in all of the cracks and crevices for insect control. If you have a lot of exposed electrical elements though you would want to just use the Delta Dust in these areas as it will last a lot longer than liquid insecticides and they can be used around the electrical elements without worry of shock or shorting out the device.
