  • 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.

    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.

  • 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 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 and Cyper WP be combined in solution for simultaneous application?
    My pest control operator states that is what he is doing
    A

    There is no real reason to mix both Talstar and Cyper. They kill pretty much the same insects. One or the other would most likely do the job.

    Q
    I want to do my own pest control. What should I buy?
    I live in Gilbert, Arizona. We get spiders, ear wig, roaches....
    A

    The best general pest control can depend on what region you are located in. One of the all time favorite general pest control products is Talstar P. Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it. Plus, Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall. Also for roaches, you want to use a bait like Maxforce Impact, Up in areas  you are not spraying Talstar. Please see the roach bait placement guide, as well.

    Q
    im planning on opening a mosquito control company what is the best product
    i would preffer the safest around kids,animals
    A
    We would recommend using Talstar SC. It is a very good general insecticide that is labeled for mosquitoes, as well as various other pests. We would not recommend spraying Talstar SC in areas where children and/or pets are. Once the product is dry, it is safe for them to return. The residual outdoors is about 30 days. This can be braodcast across the lawn, sprayed on ornamentals, trees and flowers. It is not labeled to be sprayed on any type of edibles. This product can also be sprayed around the baseboards and cracks and crevices indoors. The residual indoors is 90 days.
