    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.

    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
    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?

    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.

    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
    How do I get rid of what looks to be springtails in my tub and back door?
    A
    Please check out our article "How to get Rid of Springtails" for a play by play for treating springtails. You REALLY want to make sure you are using a residual insecticide like Talstar P along the cracks and crevices, paying close attention to areas that may contain moisture. You also want to use a dust like Delta dust in wall voids.

    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.

    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.

  • Asked by Joseph from Parker, Colorado 80138
    07/08/2013
    Q
    Your best product for killing carpet beetles?
    A

    Please visit our Carpet Beetle Control Page.

    Vacuuming: Carpet beetle larvae like to feed in dark, undisturbed locations like closets, attics, basements, and storage areas. The wide availability of food sources for the larvae (including dust and lint, and pet hair) makes vacuuming the best way to ensure there is minimal food for the larvae to feed on. Vacuuming can also help to remove the larvae and adult beetles already in the home. Regular vacuuming and laundering of rugs, furniture, and linens can help to ensure the beetles are removed and have no food source. If you find a contaminated item, bag and remove this item from your home, if possible.

    • Proper storage: Before storing silks, woolens, or furs, dry clean as the beetles are attracted to stains and soiled garments. Store in a well-sealed container, using mothballs. Mothballs can limit the beetle’s attraction to the wool or silk. Store pet food, dried meat, and other dried animal products in a well-sealed container.

    • Insecticides: For things that cannot be washed or dry cleaned, insecticides are the best bet for prevention and eradication. Both Talstar P and Suspend SC are excellent products to use.

    Insecticides can be used for spot-treatments, as a boundary at the edges of rugs, under rugs, under furniture, walls and floors of closets, shelving, cracks, and lint or dust accumulating areas. Be careful around oriental rugs or other fabrics, as some insecticides can stain. Never spray clothing or bedding with insecticide, and always read instructions.
