  • Asked by Sherri from Toms River, Nj
    04/23/2014
    Q
    Would Talstar Granules be effective for carpet beetles?
    We purchased Talstar Granules for a camelback cricket issue in our crawlspace & it has worked wonders! We believe we also have carpet beetles originating from the same area. Would the Talstar Granules also work on the carpet beetles?
    A
    Unfortunately, Talstar Granules are not labeled for carpet beetles. It would be best to use the liquid spray instecticide such as Talstar P in the crawlspace or inside along the baseboards, window frames, door frames, and cracks and crevices.

  • Asked by Jim from New Jersey
    05/14/2014
    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied at a high pressure or will it break down the molecular structure of the chemical?
    A
    Talstar P should not be used in a high pressure sprayer. Most recommended insecticide sprayers use a range of 30-150 PSI. Higher range PSI will tend to break down the insecticide.

  • Asked by Gail from Tega Cay
    05/22/2014
    Q
    I sprayed while my dog was in the area and I think directly inhaled Talstar What should I do?
    A
    After Talstar P (Talstar One) has been diluted there is only a large enough active ingredient to harm small insects. With that being said, the label states to keep children and pets out of the area until the area has dried. Please contact your veternarian for further assistance. You can also contact the manufacturer FMC 800-321-1362.

    Q
    Want to quit Orkin and manage pests myself.
    So I don't have a problem, just want to manage pests and save money. Live in Roseville CA in a subdivision. Looking for how and where to start. Would like to start with the best chance of success possible.
    A

    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  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. Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules.

    We have a great article for doing your own pest control too: Do It Yourself Quarterly Pest Control

  • Asked by Bert from Niceville, Fl
    08/30/2014
    Q
    Looking for product to control sod-web worms and other lawn pests including chinch bugs in FL.
    Bermuda, St. Augustine and Zoysia. May have cinch bugs as well. Tired of using products that don't work.
    A

    The most popular product for sod webworms is Talstar. Talstar is very effective on most insects including chinch bugs and it is gentle to plants. Time applications to control young larvae, if possible. Spot treatments may be applied when infestations are first detected and the damaged area is small. The treatment will be most effective if applied in the early evening when larvae begin feeding. Please check with your local cooperative extension office to see if a second generation is possible in one season in your region.

    Q
    Can Talstar damage outdoor furniture or fabrics if chemical is applied to it?
    We have patio furniture with polyester fabric, and sometimes towels or clothes are left outside.

    Q
    What's a good second mode of action for Talstar?
    What would be a good second mode of action to tank mix with Talstar for outdoor/home perimeter application?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) alone is good for perimeter treatment of general pests.  For some pests you would benefit from mixing an IGR like Nyguard IGR with it.  This prevents young insects (such as fleas, roaches, mosquitoes) from maturing into reproducing adults.
