    Q
    Could I feasibly use Talstar P inside of a couch infested with brown recluse?

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P in a misting system?
    I would like to use Talstar P in a misting system that sprays once a day. Is this possible? What would the recommended dosage be?

    Q
    Can I use Talstar in a house that is under construction?
    I was wondering if that will be OK since no one is there at night and it would be dry by the next day when workers returned?

  • Asked by Willie from Fort Worth, Tx
    07/01/2017
    Q
    What granule or liquid can I use to get rid of lawn pests?
    Such as sod grub worms, chinch bugs, mosquitoes in the grass? Fleas and ticks as well. You can't enjoy being outside. I have a lawn sprinkler system.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) can be used for everything except grubs if you have those and not sod webworms.  For grubs you would need a product like Merit in granule or liquid form.  For mosquitoes the key is applying Talstar to the underside of leaves of trees and bushes.  For fleas and ticks as well as mosquitoes you can also add an insect growth regulator like Nyguard IGR.

    08/28/2017
    Q
    What is the recommended insecticide to use on European hornets which have infested a lilac bush?
    A

     Tempo 1% dust is the most effective dust to treat for hornets and yellow jackets. Be sure to treat in the times of the day when they are less active (earlier morning or later evening). You may also want to use a ready-to-use knockdown insecticide such as PT Wasp Freeze II. This spray will spray up to 15 away for safe and quick knockdown of flying, stinging insects.

    Q
    What are the ingredients in Talstar for bed bugs?
    A

    The active ingredient in Talstar P is bifenthrin. When treating for bed bugs, a thorough application should be made to crack and crevices where evidence of bed bugs occurs. This includes bed frames, boxsprings, inside empty dressers and clothes closets and carpet edges, high and low wall moldings and wallpaper edges. Do not use this product on bed linens, pillows, mattresses or clothes. Remove all clothes and other articles from dressers or clothes closets before application. Allow all treated areas to thoroughly dry before use. Not recommended for use as sole protection against bedbugs. If evidence of bedbugs is found in/on mattresses, use products approved for this use. The mixing rate of Talstar P is 1 fl oz per gallon of water. Be sure to do treatments every 10-14 days until you do not see activity for 30 days. 

    Please check out our Bed Bug Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent bed bugs in the future.

    Q
    What are the mixing instructions for mosquitoes applied with a Stihl sr 200 mister blower using Talstar P?
    It would take me 3 hours to apply 1 gallon (1 oz of Talstar p) over 1000 sq ft.! I called customer service and they were baffled by my question.

    Talstar P should be mixed at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. We have never experienced an application taking 3 hours on a 100 X 10 or 50 X 20 area using a mist blower.
