    Q
    Will TalstarPro kill a St. Augustine lawn if more than 1oz is applied when treating for Chinch bugs?
    When using the Chapin wet/dry sprayer much more of the solution was sprayed than the directions suggested and we now have 3.5oz of TalstarPro on just over 500sqft of lawn. We followed instructions step by step, but apparently still made and error somewhere.
    A

    While we do not recommend to apply Talstar P (Talstar One) at a higher rate than 1oz, your lawn should be just fine. Please keep in mind that it's also recommended to apply during cooler times of the day.

  • Asked by Rick from Springfield Mo
    07/09/2016
    Q
    Which is better fogging or spraying for insects?
    A

    Well, fogging works great as a knockdown when treating for flying insects. You can then apply a residual like Talstar mixed with Archer in a sprayer to keep killing.

  • Asked by John from Tucson, Az
    07/03/2016
    Q
    Would the effectiveness of Termidor be effected in any way if I use Talstar as a perimeter treatment around the exterior of the home?
    If a home has been treated with Termidor for termites (a non-repellent termiticide), would it be an issue to do a perimeter treatment (3 feet up and out) with Talstar P (a repellent termiticide)?
    A

    No, using Talstar as a perimeter spray 3ft up and 3ft out from the home will not affect the Termidor SC as long as the Termidor has had time to bond to the soil after 24 hours. Mix Talstar at 1oz per gallon of water and apply over 1,000 sq ft.

  • Asked by Sharonne from Willis, Texas
    06/25/2016
    Q
    Will Talstar kill camel crickets?
    A

    Talstar P will kill camel crickets. Apply Talstar P as a crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Do not use as a space spray. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices. We recommend treating the outside perimeter to help stop insect pests from coming indoors to start with. Apply Talstar P to a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet.

    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with dawn soap for boxelder bugs?
    The dawn soap will breakdown the hard shell of the bugs body and then the Talstar P will kill them
    A

    Talstar P will do a great job for boxelder bugs! We do not recommend that you use soap with the Talstar P or any other insecticides. The Talstar P may be used to spray directly on the plant foliage and it can be used inside and outside of the home. Please take a moment to look at our "How to Get Rid of Boxelder Bugs" article for more detailed information about this type of pest.

    Q
    How long should I wait to mow my grass after I have sprayed Talstar P?
    I finished spraying my 4 acres yesterday and was wondering how soon I could mow the grass?
    A

    Per the Talstar Label, to ensure optimum control, delay watering (irrigation) or mowing for 24 hours after application. If the grass area is being maintained at a mowing height of greater than 1 inch, then higher application rates (Up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) may be required during periods of high pest pressure.

  • Asked by Luis from El Paso
    06/08/2016
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with another insecticide like Suspend SC in one tank?
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Suspend SC and Talstar P together.  Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Suspend SC already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide 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.

    Q
    Will the Talstar P affect turtles?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) 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. Although The Talstar P (Talstar One) is safe once it's dried, you do not want to apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and run-off from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.
