  • 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.

  • Asked by Cynthia from Shrewsbury, Ma

    Q
    Can I apply Talstar after Conserve treatment for gypsy moth caterpillars?
    My landscaper applied "Conserve" to kill gypsy moth caterpillars but my tree expert told me that Talstar is better, can Talstar be applied after Conserve? I know that they work by different mechanisms.
    A

    Conserve SC is a great product for treating caterpillars since it is a targeted application and is very gentle on the plants and on other non-target insects and animals. If you are going to do a follow up treatment using Talstar, then I would wait at least 1-2 weeks so that you are not wasting the Conserve application since you don’t need both products at the same time.

    Q
    Can Talstar be sprayed near a pond?
    A

    Talstar is not labeled to be used around ponds, lakes or other water sources. Applications should be kept at least 25 feet away from the pond.  Depending on what you are treating for, you could also use something like EcoVia EC instead, which is labeled for many of the same pests and will not harm aquatic life.

    Q
    I am getting some mole traffic from my neighbors property. Is Talstar P effective grub control?
    South Carolina. Bermuda lawn.
    A

     

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is not labeled for grub worms and most likely will not provide satisfactory results when used to control them. We do have several products that are specifically labeled for grub worms on our website: Grub Worm Control. We also recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and inquire about the best time to start treatments for grubs in your region. In many parts of the country the grubs are already matured and they are emerging as adult beetles. For mole products and treatment information, pleae check out our article on How to Get Rid of Moles.

  • Asked by Rob from New Richmond, Oh
    07/18/2018
    Q
    What style of spray tip is recommended best insecticide coverage using Talstar P for mosquitoes applied in a boom sprayer?
    I have a towable boom sprayer that I will be using, but am wondering if the fan-style nozzles I currently have are the best option. I read that cone-style may perform better for insecticide applications, but that information was more for agricultural purposes rather than residential applications.
    A

    A fan tip spray using the Talstar P is a great option as well as the cone tip. You also want to make sure the undersides of the leaves are treated with the product as well. Please review our article on How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes for more information on the treatment of this pest.
