  • Asked by Dominique from Bloomington, Il
    10/02/2017
    Q
    Can Talstar P be sprayed into a vent?
    I believe that the roaches that we had are coming from a neighbor's apt through vents. Can I spray it directly on the vent covering?
    A

    No, unfortunately Talstar P (Talstar One) is not labeled for application directly into a vent as this could result in the insecticide making its way through your air vents and you could possibly inhale the product and breathe it in.  If you feel that roaches are coming from your neighbor's apt we would suggest using a bait right outside of your vents.  You could use Maxforce FC Magnum or any of the other excellent roach bait gels that we sell.

  • Asked by Aaron from Atlanta, Ga
    03/30/2013
    Q
    How can I get rid of ground/miner bees that are in a hard to reach juniper bed?
    These bees return every year and seem to number in the thousands. There also seems to be more and more each year. They swarm in the heat of the day and are living along the edge of my yard in a massive Juniper bed. The Junipers are mature and thick, so I can't even see their holes/nests, but when they are active, they are very intimidating and create concern for child safty.
    A

    A good treatment of Talstar should help do the trick.  However, if the junipers are really thick, then you need to apply quite a bit for the product to get down to the ground where the bees are nesting.

  • Asked by Sandy from Newton,nj
    04/16/2013
    Q
    Will Talstar work better than Niban FG on my camel crickets?
    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 David from Macungie, Pa
    04/17/2013
    Q
    I want to use Talstar P to spray my lawn.
    I want to use it w/ an all purpose sprayer that you attach to a garden hose such as the Gilmour 362. Would this work? I am especially wanting to spray my front and back yard to guard against fleas, ticks, grubs and ants.
    A
    Talstar P will work in most hose end sprayers though a few folks have commented that the sprayer they used did get clogged because Talstar is a little bit thick. Talstar P is a great general use insecticide but it is not labeled to control grubs. Most general use insecticides do not control grubs.  For grub control you will need to use a product such as Dominion 2L that contains imidacloprid.

    Will Talstar P kill snails?
    A
    Talstar is not labeled to treat snails. This does not mean that it will not treat them we recommend contacting FMC 800-321-1362 for a more specific answer. We recommend using a granular bair like Niban Fine Granular Bait to eradicate snails.

    Q
    Can a used garden sprayer be used to apply Talstar P?
    I've used my garden sprayer to apply Dominion 2L approximately 8 months ago. Can I use that same garden sprayer to now apply Talstar P or should I buy a new garden sprayer to apply the Talstar P?
    A
    You can absolutely use the same sprayer to apply the Talstar in as you did the Dominion. Just make sure to always triple rinse the unit in between each product you use.
