  • Asked by Jim from New Jersey
    05/14/2014
    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied at a high pressure or will it break down the molecular structure of the chemical?
    A
    Talstar P should not be used in a high pressure sprayer. Most recommended insecticide sprayers use a range of 30-150 PSI. Higher range PSI will tend to break down the insecticide.

    Q
    Looking for product to control sod-web worms and other lawn pests including chinch bugs in FL.
    Bermuda, St. Augustine and Zoysia. May have cinch bugs as well. Tired of using products that don't work.
    A

    The most popular product for sod webworms is Talstar. Talstar is very effective on most insects including chinch bugs and it is gentle to plants. Time applications to control young larvae, if possible. Spot treatments may be applied when infestations are first detected and the damaged area is small. The treatment will be most effective if applied in the early evening when larvae begin feeding. Please check with your local cooperative extension office to see if a second generation is possible in one season in your region.

    Q
    What can I do about a ladybug infestation already inside my home?
    A
    Talstar P applications to cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room, door frames, window frames and other areas where you see ladybugs emerging will help. You can also use a Fly Web light  to capture these nuisance insects as they seem to be attracted to light as well.

  • Asked by Alan from Harrisburg,nc
    04/17/2013
    Q
    Is there a way to spray for mosquito without having to use a mister or fogger that is still just as effective?
    In other words will a regular hand sprayer work and what chemical should I use.
    A

    Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using any hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer.  The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio you are trying to provide relief at.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.  It is also very good for bees and wasps, however you would not want to apply it or any other product directly to play sets where children will touch treated surfaces.  Also, Talstar is labeled for over 100 different insects and will work in just about any situation.

    Q
    What should be used around pond/lake areas to kill mosquitos?
    A
    Essentria IC3 is the product of choice when you need to treat for mosquitoes around a body of water.  Essentria IC3 is a flexible, broad-spectrum EPA FIFRA 25(b) exempt product and is organic compliant.  This means it is a very safe insecticide for use around your family and pets, but still very effective.  One of the best features of Essentria IC3 is that it has no aquatic toxicity.  This means you can apply near or over water for spiders, mosquitoes and other water dwelling pests with no worries about harming aquatic life.

    A
    The 3/4 gallon of Talstar comes with a tip and pour measuring device. This means that you simply tip the bottle towards the measuring device and fill to the correct line for your usage.

    Q
    Moth are coming out of the paver gaps from time to time. What treatment works here?
    I have an outside covered screened patio and the floor is paved with concrete pavers. The gaps of the pavers are filled with sand. The area is about 400 sqft. Obviously some cat hairs found the way into the gaps.
    A
    To control sand moths/flies, you first want to remove all organic material the area. Next you want to apply a residual insecticide such as Talstar P. Talstar is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

    Q
    need help getting rid of springtails - investation in home
    A
    Spring tails can be tough to eliminate because they reproduce very quickly. In almost every case where people have spring tails they also have a moisture problem such as a leaking or sweating pipe, poor ventilation in their crawl space, lots of wet mulch right up next to their house, etc. You must locate and correct the moisture problem to get rid of the spring tails, insecticides alone will not do the job. We do carry Talstar P for indoor and outdoor control which can help you to reduce the numbers of springtails. For indoor control be sure to spray along the baseboards, window frames, door frames, piping like under the bathroom and kitchen sink, etc. As for outdoor control you should spray 2 to 3 feet up the side of the house and 2 to 3 feet out on the ground. If you have mulch close to the foundation wall rake the mulch back away from the house and spray Talstar P under and over top the mulch. That will give you a 4 to 6 foot barrier around the exterior of your house. If you are on a crawlspace be sure to inspect that area for any moisture issues and spray accordingly.

  • Asked by Gail from Sf Bay Area

    Q
    Springtails
    We sprayed Talstar P on our Slider twice, we are still seeing a few milling around. How long does the product work to kill the existing Springtails, or should we spray again, b/c we are seeing nits, (babies).
    A
    Talstar has a residual of at least 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors. Depending on how healthy the springtail is and how long it spends on a surface treated by the Talstar, will depend on how long it actually takes for each individual one to die. Could be hours or even a day. Also if you are not treating the main nest, and only the satellite colony you are only temporarily fixing your problem. More will appear as they continue to migrate and you will need to fix the moisture issue in your home that is attracting the springtails as well. Until the moisture is gone or the main nest is found and eliminated, you will have an ongoing battle with the pest.

    Q
    I have Talstar P and have used Ortho Bug-B-Gon, can I use that hose end sprayer and how much do I put in?
    I figured about 1/3 teaspoon, am I close or way off?
    A
    You can use Talstar P in a hose end sprayer as long as the hose end sprayer can be calibrated to spray the correct usage rate as specified on the product label. Most folks use the 1 oz of product to 1 gallon of product rate for outdoor insect control.

  • Asked by Mark from Annapolis, Md
    06/26/2013
    Q
    Is Talstar 100 EC the same as Talstar 7.9?
    Talstar 100 EC appears to be for agricultural use, whereas 7.9 is not. This relates to inadvertent mist on vegetable garden of 7.9.
    A
    You will need to contact FMC to find out if any harmful effects will come of the mist of the Talstar P. We do not carry Talstar 100 EC so we cannot comment on the difference between the two and how they effect vegetation differently. You can reach FMC at 1-800-321-1362.
