    Q
    How does Talstar P effct the butterfy and bee populations? (nectar insects).
    I have an eight bed perennial garden with many flowers, roses, bushes and a rose garden. I do not want to kill off butterflies (and their larva), bees and other nectar-seeking insects, as well as the Monarch butterfly and it's larva.
    A
    Talstar P (Talstar One) can be toxic to beneficial insects. We advise that you make the application when the plants are not pollinating.

  • Asked by Jesse from Austin Tx

    Q
    How much Talstar P should I put in a 50 gal sprayer?
    I'v got fleas at my house so I bought a rig for my Big Yard.
    A
    When treating your yard for fleas with Talstar P you can use anywhere between 0.5 ounces and 1 oz per gallon of water. So anywhere between 25 and 50 ounces to your 50 gallon sprayer. Keep in mind when treating for fleas, its important to use an IGR (insect birth control) to help stop the reproductive cycle. If you only use a portion of the yard closest to the home you could just mix the IGR with the Talstar and spray them both in those areas that you frequent the most or the pets frequent. We would recommend NyGuard IGR to mix in your tank.

    Q
    Earwig Infestation
    I have hundreds of earwigs that crawl on the exterior of my home - foundation and siding all the way to the eaves of my house. We get 5 to 10 inside a day. I need a powerful granule to kill them in the ground and something to prevent them from crawling on the side of the house. I have a .5 acres of land and have done everything I can do to keep the area around my house cleaned up. I have caulked the obvious cracks and put up weather stripping.
    A
    First, do you have mulch or pinstraw around your home? If so, pull that off your house.  Talstar P would be a great choice for earwigs. You can spray both indoors and outdoors with this product. Talstar P, one of our best sellers, has a long residual, is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and wont break down easily with rainfall. Also, be sure to focus on mulched areas, or areas that hold moisture in the lawn.

    Q
    Will storing Talstar P in sunlight or heat ruin the product?
    I've had the bottle in the back of my truck for a few weeks, and the last couple time I've used it I'm still seeing spiders afterwards. I've never had a problem before.
    A
    We recommend storing Talstar P in a cool dry place away from any direct sunlight or any extreme temperatures. Leaving the bottle in direct sunlight and high tempatures may cause the chemicals to break down and become less effective.

    07/21/2015
    Q
    Can I use Talstar P to spray for fleas indoors? If so, how do you apply indoors for use?
    A

    We do not recommend treating the inside of the home with Talstar P for flea control. It is a crack and crevice application indoors only. Fleas will be on the majority portion of the flooring and furniture. We recommendt that you treat with the products in our Indoor Flea Kit. Please take a few minutes to read our How to Get Rid of Fleas Article for more helpful information on eradication inside.

  • Asked by Frank from Vero Beach, Florida
    07/25/2015
    Q
    What is good for camel spiders in central Colorado?
    I am looking for a spray to do the perimeter and possibly the baseboards for camel spiders. I live in Florida but do property management in CO. Hopefully something cheaper then Termidor.
    A

    Camel spiders certainly look scary but are basically harmless. You can treat the exterior and interior of structures if needed with a product such as Talstar P. Talstar works well for spiders, scorpions and other invading pests. We usually would not recommend Termidor for spider control as it is a very slow acting insecticide.

    Q
    Is Talstar P recommended for use in protecting arborvitae from insects?
    A number of my arborvitae are thinning and browning, and although I do not see any infestation, I would like to rule out bug infestation as a problem.
    A

    Talstar P is labeled to be sprayed around ornamentals and in landscaped areas. So it should be safe for the arborvitae that you are asking about. As with any new area of spraying we suggest that you do a small test area just to be sure that it is tolerant of the product before doing a complete broadcast over the entire area.

  • Asked by Tabor
    08/09/2016
    Q
    How long does it take for a Talstar P (Talstar One) formula to kill a nest of bees when applied for them to carry back to nest?
    The orkin man applied this to my Eve's and roof because the nest is unreachable. I swear all he did was feed them. They seem very content coming and going. It has been applied for 24 hours now.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) does not kill by transfer. Talstar P (Talstar One) will kill the bees after they contact the solution. This can take hours after contacting the treated area. It likley will not eliminate the entire nest. We would recommend a product like Delta Dust in which the adults will carry into the nest to the larvae.

  • Asked by William from Villages Fl
    09/13/2016
    Q
    Do I have to remove thatch prior to Talstar P application for chinch bugs on a St Augustine lawn in FL?
    A

    Talstar P are one of the most effective chinch bug treatments on the market. Chinch bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Chinch bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher applications rates will be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer. It may also be necessary to remove the thatch layer if it exceeds 1 inch in thickness to allow the Talstar to penetrate down to the soil.

    If you have a few small spots the St. Augustine runners might fill it in this season (of course water, fertilizer, and lots of sunshine helps). If large portions of the lawn were damaged it will likely be late spring or later of next year before the lawn recovers. Very heavily damaged areas may need to be resodded.
