    Q
    How do I treat indoors with Talstar P Professional Insecticide for a flea infestation?

    We would not recommend treating the inside of the home with Talstar P for flea control. When used indoors, it is only labeled for a crack and crevice application. We recommend that you treat with the products in our Indoor Flea Kit.

    Q
    Will Talstar P kill stink bugs?
    A

    Talstar P will kill stinkbugs. You should dilute one ounce of Talstar P per gallon of water. You will use a hand pump sprayer to apply the solution on all door frames, window frames, areas where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure, a band of soil 6 to 10 feet adjacent to the structure, also to a height of 2 to 3 feet on the foundation where pests may be active or may find entrance. As the stink bugs crawl over the treated area, they will receive a lethal dose of the insecticide and usually die within a few hours. You should treat every month starting in August and ending in November for the best results.

    Q
    Does it kill mole crickets
    A
    Talstar is labeled for mole crickets. Here is what the manufacturer says:
    Mole Cricket adults: Achieving acceptable control of adult mole crickets is difficult because preferred grass areas are subject to continuous invasion during the early spring by this extremely active stage. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized. Grass areas that receive pressure from adult mole crickets should be treated at peak egg hatch to ensure optimum control of subsequent nymph populations (see below). 

    Mole Cricket nymphs: Grass areas that received intense adult mole cricket
    pressure in the spring should be treated immediately prior to peak egg hatch. Optimal control is achieved at this time because young nymphs are more susceptible to insecticides and they are located near the soil surface where the insecticide is most concentrated. Control of larger, more damaging, nymphs later in the year may require both higher application rates and more frequent applications to maintain acceptable control. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized.

  • Asked by Carol from Atlanta, Ga

    Q
    Is Talstar P safe to spray on painted brick?
    I have a deck that gets a LOT of roaches in it in warm weather months. (live in GA) Looking for paint safe insecticide to spray on exterior walls
    A

    If you are spraying porous surfaces you would want to choose a product such as Demon WP. It will stay on the surface of porous areas allowing insects to come in contact with it a bit better. That being said, Demon WP also leaves a white powdery residue that is visible on dark surfaces. Talstar P is a concentrated liquid that is odorless, dries clear and is labeled for a huge variety of insects and areas making it a bit more versatile. If you need to spray plants, trees and siding Talstar P would be a great choice.

    For control of larger roaches outdoors, you will usually see best results using a granule bait for the insects applied in areas such as under decks and porches and around landscaping. Niban Granular Bait is a great option for this application.

    Q
    Can Talstar P Professional Insecticide be used in a Ryobi Battery Powered Mister/Fogger?
    A

    The Talstar P Professional Insecticide cannot be used in the Ryobi Battery Powered Mister/Fogger. Per Ryobi, commercial chemicals are not designed for use in that device, and Talstar cannot be run through any type of fogger whether thermal or cold fogger type. We would recommend you contact Ryobi to find out what insecticide solutions they recommend using in their equipment so as to not void any warranties or clog parts.

  • Asked by Lindsey from Twin Falls, Idaho

    Q
    An hour after spraying Talstar P Professional outdoors, my sprinklers turned on for a few minutes. Do I need to respray?
    I sprayed the back of my house and the lawn to get rid of clover mites. About an hour later my sprinkler system malfunctioned and there was water going in half the yard for about 3-5 minutes. Do I need to respray the yard again?
    A

    If the application of Talstar P Professional Insecticide had time to dry before the sprinklers went off, it should be ok. If you applied at the highest rate of 1 fl oz per gallon of water, you will need to wait 30 days before reapplying or 7 days if applied at the lower 0.5 fl oz per gallon rate was used.

    The product label advises to apply when there is no rain or watering for atleast 24 hours after the application.

  • Asked by Christine from Lacombe La
    05/06/2021
    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied to a boat to prevent spiders and other insects around a river?
    A

    No, Talstar P Professional Insecticide cannot be used to treat for insects around boats or over areas of water such as lakes, rivers, ponds, etc. Unfortunately, there aren't any insecticides that can be sprayed directly to the outside surface of the boat, as any ingredients they contain could possibly harm the finish on the boat itself. If you have a boat dock, you can spray it with Essentria IC3 which is safe for aquatic life and would be the closest water safe product to Talstar, and covers the same range of insects. Inside the boat itself you can use an aerosol like D-Force to treat crevices and areas under/around seats and places insects tend to hide.

    Q
    Is Talstar P corrosive to stainless steel or galvanized metal?
    Considering using on feed and drinker suspensions in turkey houses. The flies excrement causes much stress on pulleys winches and the cable itself, causing very expensive and labor intensive breakdowns.
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide is a water-based chemical and will not cause corrosion to stainless steel or galvanized metal. Keep in mind that you should not apply this product directly to food, feed, water, or sources for food or water. You also cannot apply this in a way that would contact the animals or their food or water. Keep in mind that a good fly control program includes the use of multiple control measures such as baits and traps, in addition to insecticides.

    Q
    What is a product that's as effective as Talstar P but has a 3 month residual?
    I purchased Talstar P last year and it worked great. I started doing my own pest control versus paying a local company. However, I had to reapply every month. The local company came every 3-4 months. I want something that will last the same.
    A

    Demand CS is a micro-encapsulated product that would give you up to a 90 day residual. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
     
    Another option would be Onslaught. You may view the full product label here.

    Q
    Will Talstar P control the longed-horn beetle?
    I use Talstar P for the flower garden and it works wonders!
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for many beetles but not specifically for the long horned beetle.  However, after doing some research we have found many sites and government studies that list Talstar P as a form of treatment for the long horned beetle.

    Q
    Can you tell me if Talstar will kill mange mites in the ground?
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for general mites, though mange mites typically are on livestock or pets.  For mange mites, we recommend Tengard SFR which could be used to treat the ground outside, as well as inside the home over a certain area.  Tengard SFR can also be used on a dogs and other livestock (do not use on felines) to kill mites without harming the animal.

    Q
    Will Talstar One work in the garage to kill both adult fleas and eggs?
    Our cat used to sleep in the garage. I noticed he was scratching frequently so I applied a spot on flea treatment. All the fleas jumped off him and infested our garage. Every time we come in from the garage we track them into the house. The cat now lives in an outdoor house and we've bombed the garage twice to no avail. Will Talstar One work in the garage to kill both adult fleas and eggs? If not, what should we use?
    A
    Talstar would not be tbe best choice for fleas.  Talstar is a great product for almost any other insect and can be used indoors and outdoors safely.  However, for treatment of fleas the talstar does not have an IGR (insect growth regulator) which is important for the treatment of fleas.  We suggest one of our best selling products for fleas called Ultracide.  It is a product made only for the treatment of fleas and has both an adulticide and an IGR for the treatment of maturing fleas.  It should work great in your garage.  You should treat every 14 days until the problem is gone.
