  • Asked by Adam from Statesboro, Ga
    06/24/2019
    Q
    How is Talstar P Professional Insecticide used for ant control in the yard? I have a backpack sprayer and mist blower.
    A

    When using Talstar P Professional Insecticide for ant control, mix 1 fl oz per gallon of water, locate and treat ant nests, and trails around doors and windows and other places where ants have been observed or are expected to forage. Spray the exterior perimeter foundation 2 to 3 ft up and 2 to 3 ft out from the foundation. For ant control in the lawn, mix at the same 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.

    For treating Fire Ants, the best control is obtained by a broadcast application along with mound drenches. Apply broadcast treatments at 0.6 to 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet. Treat mounds by applying 1 fl oz Talstar P Professional per mound in 1 to 2 gallons water by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet out around the mound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12”. Treat mounds with sufficient force to break their apex and allow the insecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 - 80?F) or in the early morning or late evening hours.

    Please review the Application Directions Ant Control on page 4 of the product label.

    Q
    Can you mix Precor and Talstar P?
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide can be mixed with insect growth regulators such as Precor IGR.  Be aware though that Precor is only labeled for use indoors but Talstar cannot be used as a broadcast across surfaces inside the home such as carpets (it is only for cracks and crevices) so if you are treating for fleas it is not the best option as an insecticide.  Instead you should use something like Conquer or Onslaught.

  • Asked by Suzy from New Orleans La
    11/06/2019
    Q
    Is Talstar effective against termites? How long?
    Is there a long-lasting product for termites?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled to treat for termites and lasts for about 5 years in the ground when trenching. A better option for subterranean termites would be non-repellents like Termidor SC or Taurus SC. Termidor and Taurus will last up to 10 years in the soil. Non-repellents work slower but are much more effective when treating a termite colony as they are able to be transferred through the entire colony therefore eventually eliminating the colony.

    Q
    Will Talstar P Professional Insecticide kill drain flies? Should I use something else?
    Drain flys are in my drain I cleaned drains but still are popping up maybe 2/3 a day
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide will kill any flies that come in contact with a treated surface, but it is not what we recommend for drain flies. We would recommend our Drain Fly Kit, it contains all the products you should need to successfully treat your drain fly problem, and it includes products that are safe for use inside household drains. We would also recommend taking a look at our guide on How to Get Rid of Drain Flies.

    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.

    I live in central Florida, older house (1950s), live on lake. keep windows and sliding doors open to screened in porch. don't use a lot of AC due to lake breeze. Most of the insects are cockroaches and ants.

    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
    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.

    Q
    Which insecticide is the most effective for camel crickets specifically?
    Hi, I see that your website offers an array of insecticides. I am targeting camelback crickets specifically (anything else that dies is a plus). How would you rank the insecticides (I plan on doing an indoor and outdoor spray) Demon WP, Bifen IT, and Tempo SC)? Not that price is an issue, but if I am going to to the exterior as well, it wouldn't hurt if the price isn't too hard on the wallet. Thanks in advance.
    A
    With Talstar P the crickets just need to cross over treated areas to get a lethal dose of the insecticide. With the Niban FG they need to be attracted to and then consume the bait. Both products work great and both will do a great job it just breaks down to what is needed for your particular space. Is it okay to apply an insecticide? Can you get to the areas that need to be treated? If so an insecticide like Talstar will work very well.

  • Asked by Tim
    05/17/2015
    Q
    When using a mist blower, how far into a treeline should we treat for mosquitos?
    Our back yard (1/4 acre) is surrounded by dense woods with substantial underbrush on three sides and we're wondering how far into the woods we'd need to blow a misting pesticide like Telstar P into the cover to provide defense against biting black flies and mosquitos. Of course, this would be done in conjunction to the spraying of shrubs and patio areas in the main part of the yard. Additionally, where we don't spend nearly as much time in the front yard (1/4 acre, open to a street) as the back, is it worth spraying the shrubs and trees in that area as vigorously as the backyard?
    A
    There is no definite "coverage area" for mosquitoes because they are flying insects. However, keep in mind that the better the coverage, the better the results. For best results we would recommend treating as far back into the woods as possible and also ask neighbors about the possibility of treating their property. The larger the treated zone the more impact on the mosquito population. You want to treat all bushes, shrubs, and low lying tree branches and be sure to get the undersides of the leaves which is where those pesky mosquitoes like to hide during the day.
