  • Asked by Scott from Farmington, Il
    09/24/2013
    Q
    Do the chemicals have an expiration date?
    do the chemicals lose strength after awhile. I have some Talstar and Demand and was wondering if I need to purchase new due to having these bottles for about 4 yrs.
    A
    When stored in ideal conditions - out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight - most insecticides, Talstar and Demand included - will last for 5 years on the shelf. If yours have been properly stored, you do have some life left in your bottles!

    Q
    Why does the label say not to broadcast spray Talstar P indoors for fleas?

    The manufacturer has created the product, performed the research and testing for Talstar P. We do not make the product labels or the products.

    Q
    Trying to get rid of several kinds of spiders, some quite large, in a studio warehouse type commercial bldg.
    We have used Home Defense from Home Depot and other products purchased at the hardware store, but they don't work very well...maybe not at all.
    A
    Talstar P would be great choice to spray outside and inside the building for the treatment of spiders (all species) and over 75 other insects. It is to be applied indoor cracks and crevices every three months and outside monthly. We would also sugges placing glue boards at entry points and areas with high activity.

  • Asked by Rich from Gloucester Uk
    11/06/2013
    Q
    Hi, Can I use washing up liquid/similar to act as a surfactant for Talstar P for bird mite?
    I am in the process of tidying the house and treating room by room. I have found and eliminated what I think are the sources which were vacated house sparrow and starling nests in my eaves. The house dates from 1690's so I guess this would happen sooner or later! I want to treat wooden, carpet and linoleum flooring of various types but would like the surfactant to offer more 'hold' of the chemical. I will look to retreat in 7 days to catch the life cycle.
    A
    A surfactant is not usually needed when using Talstar P and is generally only to be used if you are trying to protect a plant with waxy leaves and need the product to stick a bit better.  Talstar P is not actually labeled to treat bird mites and it is only labeled to apply in cracks and crevices indoors.  When treating for bird mites usually you would want to spray all carpeted areas and lightly spray the flooring and to do that you would need a product like Onslaught which will give you a wider usage range indoors. Please review our article on How To Control Bird Mites for complete information.

    I own a 2 BR condo on 3rd flr: Florida. HOA does pest control for o/s & common areas. What do I do inside?
    A
    One of our most popular insecticides is Cykick Aerosol. Since you would just be treated the inside this aerosol would be perfect for you. The top choice for indoor residential treatment sites, food handling and sensitive areas.

    05/21/2014
    Q
    Is Talstar P effective for fleas indoor and outdoors?
    A
    Talstar P is labeled for the treatment of fleas outdoors only. It can only be applied to indoor cracks and crevices. Fleas will be on the open floor surfaces so it is important to apply a product such as Alpine Flea Insecticide with IGR to those surfaces indoors for eradication.

  • Asked by Carmen from United States
    06/04/2014
    Q
    I have to repeat use of Talstar after a week.
    A week later was necessary to reapply Talstar. A week Later 1 oz per gallon again because there where mosquitoes in backyard. Arround Wednesday mosquitoes again. Last Monday I used 2 oz per gallon. Not happy with the product.
    A
    We apologize that you feel you are not having success with the Talstar. The Talstar is one of our best products for mosquito control. You must keep in mind that the Talstar is not a contact kill, it is a residual and will take time to control the mosquitoes. It will take several months of spraying once every 30 days only (not every week) to control a population. The product will not put a bubble around your home and stop mosquitoes from flying over from your neighbors yard so if your neighbors are not treating it makes control in your yard harder. When using insecticides to control insects, you are trying to make the yard tolerable but you will never get rid of every last pest for good. If you give the Talstar time to do its job we are certain you will be satisfied like all of our other customers who have used it. If you would like to go over target areas and more tips for controlling mosquioes you can call us at 866-581-7378.

    Q
    When can I apply Talstar P for mosquitoes?
    I sprayed CY Kick CS & Nyguard yesterday for ants, ticks, fleas, and spiders. Can I apply Talstar P for mosquitoes? Is there one product that would address all of these effectively?
    A
    Both Cykick and Talstar will kill most common pest including Mosquitoes. The biggest difference is that Cykick is Microencapsulated and may take longer to kill the pest, Talstar will kill more quickly.
