    Q
    What is the best product to prevent indoor insects?
    A

    As a general prevention for indoor and outdoor control Talstar P is one of the most trusted and widely-used insecticides by pest control professionals today. Talstar P has a long residual control. so it keeps on killings pest sfor over three moneths after you have sprayed it. We recommend to use 0.33 to1 fluid ounce per gallon of water to be applied either as a crack and crevice, pinstream, spot, coarse, low pressure spray of with a paint brush. You will want to limit repeat applications to no more than once per seven days.

    Q
    Is there a Talstar available to licensed applicator?
    I am a new licensed applicator and best i can tell the general public can buy the same product, where is my advantage here? Do you have a rup they CAN NOT buy without a license! Please answer privately Thank you
    A

    There are various products that are not available to the general public depending on where they live. We are unsure of exactly what you are asking. These products can be purchased by homeowners, however, the advantage that you have over a homeowner is that they can spray only their home. You can legally spray for profit.

    Q
    What is the best outside treatment for my centipede problem?
    Of all the products that say they kill centipedes which works best for my whole yard. I have pest control come to treat inside my house. Im still getting tons of centipedes entering the house eventually dying.However my yard and driveway and front entrance is full of them where we do not treat I'm trying to take control of these darn things from entering the house. I figure now I need to treat our whole property. So which is the best product you sell.
    A

    Talstar P would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Indoors you can apply Talstar P to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive. 

    Remove Favorabe Conditions

    • Fix leaky faucets or pipes and dry up wet or damp areas where centipedes thrive
    • Remove outdoor harborages near the home that hold moisture (compost, wood, or leaf piles, etc).
    • Store firewood off the ground at least 20 feet away from the home
    • Water your lawn in the morning so that it will be dry by afternoon
    • Do not over mulch flower beds, since soggy mulch is an ideal harborage for centipedes

    Q
    I sprayed Talstar P for mosquitos, but will it also kill other bugs? Does the method of application affect what it kills?
    Orkin sprayed our yard for mosquitos with a backpack sprayer. I asked the technician what it kills and he said fleas, ticks and mosquitos. But the info I've found online says it kills so much more. He sprayed all over the grass and bushes.
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with (including fleas, ticks and mosquitos) and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets. A hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer would be the preferred, but the method of application will not determine the results of the product.

  • Asked by Shane from Etna, Oh

    Q
    We have a micro pig that eats grass is it safe to use Talstar Pro/Demon Max with pig
    In the past I have typically treated our home with Talstar Pro/ Demon Max if the pig eats grass treated by the product will it harm him
    A

    Neither the Talstar P or Demon Max are labeled to be used where animals would graze so we would not recommend applying it areas the micro pig could eat.  Instead we would recommend using something like Essentria All Purpose which is an all natural product that is OMRI approved and labeled for pastures and rangeland.

    Q
    Should I use Talstar or Termidor for carpenter ants?
    I have carpenter ants on the exterior of my house. I've seen them come out from under the cedar shake. Which product would be best to get red of these and how long does each product last? How long before rain should these products be applied?
    A

    Termidor SC around the perimeter of the home would be better than Talstar P.  Termidor will have transfer effect so can help to eliminate the entire colony whereas Talstar P will only kill the ants that contact a treated surface.  It can be applied twice a year or four times a year outside depending on the rate. This link can explain.

  • Asked by Craig from Austin, Tx
    04/22/2016
    Q
    Can Talstar be used outdoors without killing butterflies, chameleons, lizards, bees?
    A

    Talstar will not harm chameleons or lizards, but it will kill the insects in the area they feed on so you may notice a decline in the number you see around as their food sources will be more scarce. Butterflies and bees are insects and will be affected by an insecticide like Talstar and any other product the same way the target pests like ants and spiders would be. The best way to reduce the chance of the Talstar affecting the bees, butterflies and beneficial insects is to spray later in the day when they are not active and are back in their homes/nests, and try to avoid blooms of flowers and plants they would be using for pollenation. Most structural insects you would be targeting are not going to be landing in the same places they would be so it helps keep you from doing as much damage.

  • Asked by Amanda from Montana
    04/21/2016
    Q
    Can I use Talstar P (Talstar One) in walls to kill/and prevent wasps?
    I need a product that will kill AND prevent wasps!
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) will kill bees and wasp that come incontact with the treated area. However, if you know where the nest is in the wall it would be best to use a dust. you can use a hand duster to apply a dust product such as Tempo Dust into and around the area where the bees seem to be gaining access to your home. Over a period of a couple of days to a week (timeline will depend on how many bees are contacting the treated area) this will kill off the colony that has taken up residence in your home. Any insecticide applications should be done very early in the morning or very late in the evening when the bees are less active. After the bees have been eliminated it is important to remove the bee hive from the void where the bees were nesting. Failure to remove the hive can lead to mold issues and secondary infestation from hive beetles and other insects. If the bee hive is in an area that is not easily accessible you may want to consider hiring a professional pest control operator.

    Q
    Differences between Bifen XTS and Talstar One for outdoor use?
    I have used both products in the past and notice that neither seem to last very long as far as effectiveness... I live in a mobile home and suspect many insects most likely seem to come in from around the skirting and underneath. I've sprayed both products liberally all around the perimeter of the home and in the yard. Problem is that our complex is surrounded by woods and it's difficult to manage ants and spiders and mice. Any thoughts of suggestions on these products? I like that the Bifen is oil based and stays longer as it rains A LOT here in NJ. Thanks so much. Any suggestions on other products is welcome also..
    A

    Bifen XTS and Talstar P (Talstar One) are both very good general insecticides to use around the perimeter of your home. The residual on both products is approximately 30 days and once the products dry, it is rainfast so rain will not wash it away. Be sure to spray areas where there would be or you have seen activity for pests to ensure that they come in contact with the treated area.

    If you are looking for a product that lasts longer outdoors, Suspend Polyzone would be a great option. It has an additional polymer in it that makes it last longer outdoors.

    Q
    What is the distance allowed to spray Talstar P without harming the edible fruits and veggies?
    Lawn needs care of bugs, but I have two fruit trees that are 3 to 4 feet away from the edge of the lawn. Is it safe to use? My concern is the roots of the trees can absorb the toxin.
    A

    It is recommended that Talstar P not be used within 3 feet or outside the drip zone of edibles, which ever one applies.
