  • Asked by Omar from Miami, Fl
    08/10/2015
    Q
    Would mixing Talstar P with Tengard work for longer lasting residual and knockdown?
    A

    MIxing Tengard with Talstar will not make it last any longer and is not actually recommended.  Mixing 2 insecticides together can contaminate an area making it highly repellent where insects will avoid it and neither can do their job of killing the insects.  If you want a faster knockdown product, you can add something like Exciter.  If you want a longer residual you should use something like Suspend Polyzone which can last up to 90 days on outside surfaces.

    Q
    Would over saturation of Talstar P kill my flowers?
    A

    Over-spraying of Talstar P (Talstar One) should not harm most flowers. It is always best to apply in the cooler times of the day. You should also avoid spraying the flowers directly to have the least impact on beneficial pollinators in the area.

    Q
    Can my cat chew on grass after being treated with Talstar P by lawn service?
    A

    Please keep your pets out of the Talstar P treated area until dried. After the product is diluted there is only a small enough amount of active ingredient to harm small insects. If your cat were to nibble on a small area no harm should be posed. You may also want to consider having the service not treat where your cat may be nibbling.

    Q
    Does Talstar P work for scorpions?
    A

    Talstar P will treat scorpions and do a great job eliminating their food source so that they will leave the area for better hunting grounds. You want to mix at a rate of 1 oz to one gallon of water.  Please see our Scorpion Control Page for more information about treating for this pest.

  • Asked by Frank from Vero Beach, Florida

    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
    What measures do you take to ensure shelf life of Talstar P?
    A question was asked about shelf life of Talstar. The answer was 3-5 years in good conditions. What inventory controls do you use to make sure the products that are shipped are not expired or close to expiring? Do you have a standard age of product that you won't ship to consumers?
    A

    Talstar P is one of the most popular products that we carry and is always in stock. We make sure that the new product we receive and ship out is always the most recent. We do a constant stock rotation to insure we only have fresh stock on our shelf.

  • Asked by Jason from Campobello, Sc
    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 Anne from Grass Lake, Mi
    07/20/2015
    Q
    What is the best time of day to apply Talstar for mosquito control?
    Also, what range is needed to provide relief? We live in a heavily wooded area, and I would like to know how far into the "woods" we need to go.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) should be applied in the morning or evening especially during the summer. You really just need to focus on the tree line. Spray the undersides of leaves on the trees and shrubs. Focus on debris piles like leaf piles, pinestraw and shaded moist areas. Please see our Mosquito Pest Guide for more information about treating for mosquitoes.

    Q
    Willl Talstar P (Talstar One) control and kill Bagworms in my pine trees?
    Will this product kill bagworm infestation in my pine trees in july?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is a great product to use for Bagworms on Pine trees. In fact, it is our number on recommendation for Bag worms. Yes, Talstar will kill insects shortly after they come in contact with it. It is important to keep in mind that bagworms are very difficult to control with chemical methods once they have matured and formed their protective "bags." See our Bagworm Control Page for more details.

  • Asked by John from Pa
    07/19/2015
    Q
    Since Talstar is a residual killer, what would you recommend for an instant knockdown?
    I'm looking for something with instant knockdown on the same variety of pests Talstar can handle.
    A

    To get a faster initial knockdown when applying Talstar you can add a synergist like ExciteR or Exponent to kill insects on contact during application or you can use either alone.  The residual of Talstar will be left behind, but once the synergist dries will be gone.

    Q
    Will freezing Talstar P alter its effectiveness?
    A

    Yes, any drastic change in temperature will definitely affect the residual and potency of Talstar P. We recommend storing in a dry cool environment with not much temperature change to get the longest life out of the product. Please read the label for storage information.

    Q
    How do you compare Bifen/Talstar P versus Tempo SC?
    I am using to kill mosquitoes in the yard by backpack sprayer/mister and also applying along perimeter of home and area where ant hide. Are both equally effective or would one be superior in any way?
    A

    Bifen IT and/or Talstar P and Tempo SC Ultra are very good products for mosquito control. The biggest difference between them is that they have two different active ingredients. They are both great insecticides and can be alternated so that there is no pest resistance built up.

    Q
    Is Talstar P labeled to treat for pill bugs and grubs?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled to be used for Pill Bugs but is not labeled to treat for grubs. Dylox 6.2 would be an excellent alternative when treating for grubs that are actively feeding. Please read the product label for application instructions.

    Q
    Is Talstar P the best product for killing termites in and around a tree before cutting it down?
    I don't want termites heading for my house to find a new source of food when I cut down my tree.
    A

    First be sure to protect your biggest investment, your home. Put up a barrier using  Termidor SC. Please see our article on Barrier Treatments. For the tree, you can inject Dominion 2L.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied with a sponge to metal window frames?
    I don't want to use a sprayer because I'm afraid the spray will mess up the window glass.
    A

    A hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer would be the preferred method of application for using Talstar P, a sponge would be not recommended.  When treating around doors and windows you will want to spray around the frame of the windows themselves and where the windows slide past each other when opening  You would not need to spray the glass to get an effective treatment but can spray screens if needed.

  • Asked by Nikki from Santa Fe Nm

    Q
    Is the residual harmful to young children and pets if it gets re-wet?
    For example; a toddler spilles milk on the floor where the Talstar was treated or the dog spilled water everywhere on the floor including the baseboards where the Talstar was sprayed and dried.
    A

    Talstar will not be reconstituted and become dangerous if it gets wet. Talstar can be taken off of a surface if gets gets washed up with soap and water and would need to be reapplied. Please contact us at 1-866-581-7378 for and further information.

  • Asked by Monique from El Paso Tx
    07/08/2015
    Q
    When can you clean the floors after the inside of your house has been sprayed with Talstar?
    With that question: does cleaning the floor remove any residue left after it's dry? And if the floor gets wet where the spray was dry is it bad for young children and pets?
    A

    Talstar is meant to be applied to cracks and crevices not as a broadcast to floors. If you do mop an area that Talstar has been applied, then you could potentially take the product up and Talstar would need to be re applied.

  • Asked by Jp
    07/08/2015
    Q
    Will Talstar work for centipedes?
    Is Talstar safe inside and around kids?
    A

    Talstar 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
