  • Asked by Joy from Fort Myers, Florida

    Q
    What can I use for general pest control outside around my foundation? I see ants, spiders and roaches.
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests.

    Q
    What should I use on pine beetles infestation? I have infestation in a lot of trees?
    A

    Unfortunately there is no easy solution when it comes to pine beetles. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Because of the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a synthetic pyrethroid like Talstar. The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations. You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.

    Q
    Will Talstar P work well in a 30gal sprayer? and with granules?
    I see where it says to use a 1gal sprayer but will it work as well in larger sprayers? Also is it safe to use the concentrate and the granules at the same time or is that to high a concentration?
    A
    You can absolutely use Talstar P in a large 30 gallon sprayer. Just be sure you follow the correct usage rate for that much water. Talstar granules should be applied using a hand spreader or cart spreader and can be used in conjunction with the Talstar P.

  • Asked by Channarith from Tampa, Fl
    04/15/2012
    Q
    Is Talstar P really working?
    I purchased the Talstar P product and mixed it by instruction/video provided. Although, I spray the product directly on a plant infested by aphids and they just laugh at me and continue on their business. Am I missing something?
    A
    Talstar does not offer an instant knockdown but it does offer a long term residual. Talstar can take several hours to kill insects when used as directed on the product label.

  • Asked by Robin from Atlanta, Ga
    06/18/2012
    Q
    Which product(s) would you recommend to kill mosquitos, ants, roaches, biting gnats (or flies) outdoors?
    Note: I have a sink hole in backyard with damp leaves, pinestraw, etc., and filling it in with dirt hasn't worked b/c it keeps settling over time. Also, I have gutter covers and know there is breeding there as well, but I cannot get into gutters to clear a few clumps of debris, so I'm wondering if there is a solution for that problem too? THANK YOU!
    A
    Talstar P would be a great product for the mosquitoes, ants, roaches and gnats. It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a sprayer.  You will need about 1 fl oz of product diluted into 1 gallon of water for every 1,000 sq ft of space you need to treat. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief.  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. Talstar P can also be applied to your lawn, exterior of your home for barrier insect control and indoors to control current infestations. Talstar should be applied every 30 days for optimum control. If you don't find a way to alleviate the moisture in the sink hole and in the gutters you will have a constant influx of new mosquitoes and gnats. While Talstar P may help limit their numbers you will keep seeing these pests.

    Q
    Is Talstar safe around my orchids when I spray?
    A
    Talstar P is safe for use on most plants. Having said that we still recommend you test the product on just one or two plants before using it on all of the plants to test for damage as some plants can be more sensitive than others.

  • Asked by Ray from Whittier
    11/30/2017
    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.

    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.
