    Q
    What is a good general indoor and yard granual pest control?
    Currently I have purchased and use Demon WP for outdoor application around the house but I also want to find a good general indoor pest control and a general outdoor granule for use as backyard grass application so my kids don't get bit up. We don't have any pest issues now but I just canceled my yearly pest control to do it my self as it was getting pricy to pay every 3 months. Can you suggest anything. Thank you
    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.

    Q
    What is the best chemical to spray outdoors n kill mosquitos?
    I am alrdy using Termidor around the perimeter of the house, so i am looking for another spray that can eliminate or minimize mosquitoes.
    A
    Talstar P is the premier product for controlling mosquitos. In addition to the treatment around the foundation of the home as mentioned above, spray Talstar P on the underside of leaves on the lower-hanging branches of trees around the backyard or area where mosquitoes are a problem.  You can also spray the underside of leaves on shrubs and ornamentals.

    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.

    Q
    Can Talstar be used in a gas powered fogger/sprayer?
    A
    Talstar can be used in a backpack sprayer or a mist blower like the Solo 451 but it cannot be used in any type of fogging equipment. Please take a look at our Fogging Concentrates to see if any of these might be more suited to your application needs.

    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.

    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
    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
    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.

    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.
