    Q
    Can I use talstar p on rugs for fleas?
    I already bought it from you then I saw a Q and A and you guys stated you don't want us to use it because it's a crack and crevice treatment.No good on rugs? Well i already bought it and the directions say it works for fleas. What do think? Can I mix it with precor?
    A

    You can mix Talstar P with Precor IGR for flea control. According to the new Talstar P product label you can make applications as spot or crack and crevice treatments to areas frequented by pets, such as under bedding, rugs, next to furniture. Vacuum prior to treatment.

    What this means is that you cannot broadcast spray your entire carpet with Talstar, you must limit the treatment to "spot" treatments (areas that 2ft x 2ft or less). If you only need to spot treat certain areas you can use Talstar for fleas. If you need to broadcast over entire carpeted rooms you should choose a product which is labeled for indoor broadcast sprays such as Onslaught or Permethrin SFR.

    Q
    Will Talstar P work to protect bedding against lice?
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for head lice and should not be applied to bedding or clothing. We recommend that you launder the bedding in heat and use an over the counter hair treatment product meant for head lice. Steri-Fab can be applied to mattresses, furniture, cracks and crevices. Bedlam can be used for residual control to baseboards and listed areas on the product label for lice.

    Q
    Will Talstar P work on the pecan Phylloxera
    Pecan tree has been infested for about 5 years. Our local Ag center recommends Provado, Lorsban or Malathion
    A

    Talstar P can only be used on non bearing nut trees.  Malathion would be the better option if you plan to harvest in the same season you intend to treat. Spray about the time the buds show one half inch to three quarters an inch of new growth.

    Q
    i have crane flys in my yard how fast will talstar kill them,and when is the best time of year to treat the
    is a good time to treat for larva so they don't hatch.
    A

    Talstar should be used early to mid season to control the larvae of crane flies. This application should be made between August-February during times when the ground is not frozen. If treatments are made in March-April, they may only provide supression. You can consult with your local cooperative extension office for details on timing of application in your area specifically.

    Q
    Can I plant berries in an area that was previously treated with Talstar?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) can last in the soil for up to 5-7 years, no edibles should be planted in an area treated with it for this reason.  It would be best to remove and replace the top layer of soil if just sprayed before doing so.

    Q
    How to properly spray 3100sf
    I am going to spray Talstar P on 3100sf my backyard. My question is I need to mix the 1oz per gallon of water do I need to spray all of that with my sprayer or can I use a Waterhouse attachment to spray. Using a water hose sprayer attachement I feel like it will be to diluted with mixing the 1oz with water prior to spraying with the water hose attachment. I hope this makes sense thank you
    A

    You should caliberate your sprayer to disperse 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.

    Talstar P is for insects only and will not control diseases such as blight. Something like the Monterey Complete Disease Control or Clearys Spectro 90 WDG would be good to use instead.

  • Asked by Laura from Hysham
    06/01/2018
    Q
    Will Talstar P keep flies off my house?
    One side of our house becomes absolutely covered in flies every day during the summer, leaving fly specks all over the siding.
    A

    Talstar P can be used to help control cluster flies indoors and outdoors. If the cluster flies have already made their way indoors, they will be harder to control because they usually hide in a wall void or other inaccessible area and are only visible when the house warms up. If the cluster flies are in an attic or drop ceiling or other dark area, a fly light would do a great job controlling the population. Using small fly lights such as the Fly Web in the house would also help to catch the flies. Spray Talstar P directly on baseboards, window frames, door frames, and places where utilities (pipes, wires, cables) enter in to the building and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can enter.

  • Asked by Sharlene from South Boston , Va
    06/06/2018
    Q
    Can Talstar and Suspend Polyzone be mixed together?
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Suspend Polyzone and Talstar P together. Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Suspend Polyzone already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas, prolonging the infestation.
