    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.

    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.

  • Asked by Leon from Forbes
    03/12/2016
    Q
    Does Talstar P create a barrier somehow to keep my neighbors' mosquitoes from coming to my yard?
    A

    Talstar P is not a repellent to keep insects out of the area, it is only to kill the ones that land/crawl on a treated surface to receive a lethal dose.  It is great to use to help kill any, the key is to apply to the underside of leaves as that is where the adults lay during the day.  To repel mosquitoes from an area you could use a product called Mosquito Barrier.

    Q
    Can you spray Talstar P on the couch? It appears that our dog brought ticks into the house and we are finding them in one room around a couch.
    I realize now that I need to spray an IGR (just ordered Archer) and have read that it is okay to spray the IGR on the couch. If I mix the Archer IGR with the Talstar P, can that still be sprayed on the couch, or just an IGR mixture?
    A

    Talstar P CANNOT be applied to anything that you will come into prolonged skin contact with, so you cannot apply it to furniture.  It should be applied to cracks and crevices and perimeter of the rooms only.  For treating sensitive areas like your furniture, you should use Steri-Fab which is labeled for ticks and fleas as well as many other pests and can be applied to furniture, mattresses, pet beds, and all other sensitive areas. Below is a great article on treating indoors and the products that we would recommend for treatment inside the home for fleas and/or ticks.

  • Asked by John from Necedah Wisconsin
    07/15/2013
    Q
    What do I use to eliminate ants and small (1/16 in) hard shelled black bugs.
    I live in zip code 54646 in sandy soil. Some ants are beginning to gather under my wooden jealousy windows, on the vinyl sill. I can't identify the type of ant, I just want to get rid of them. I also find the hard shelled bugs in different places of my house. What product can I use to get rid of these ants and hard shelled bugs?
    A
    It is very hard to make an accurate recommendation if we are not sure what we are treating. Talstar P will treat for ants and other types of insects like the ones you are describing. You want to spray the perimeter of your home 2-3 up the side and 2-3 feet out. On the inside make applications to cracks, crevices and entry points. Your Local Cooperative Extension Office may be able to shed light on what type of pest you are dealing with.

  • Asked by Charlie from Cloudcroft,new Mexico, 88317
    03/21/2012
    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.

  • 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.

    I am using Talstar for thrips in my garden. What is the gallons/teaspoons mixture that i should use.
    I have to apply Talstar using a two gallon sprayer. What is the mixture that I should use. Also, what is the maximum outdoor temperature for effective application?

    First, if you are referring to edible garden, DO NOT use talstar. If you are referring to non-edible, you would mix 1TBSP Talstar per gallon water.

  • Asked by Bob from Fairless Hills, Pa 19030
    10/21/2014
    Q
    What is a general recommendation for a program/steps to minimize/eliminate spiders, ants and insects in a home?
    My wife and I purchased a renovated home in June 2014. Typical two story colonial with a basement and crawlspace just Northeast of Philadelphia. We've seen a few ants and spiders as we've moved into the Fall season. Is there a DIY suggested program to apply to the house to protect it from insects and to eliminate those that may be starting to come inside?
    A
    Using Talstar P would be a great option for outdoor perimeter and indoor control. Talstar P is labeled for over 75 types of insects and will leave a 90 day residual inside the home and 30 day residual outside the home.  In a hand pump sprayer, mix .33-1 fl oz of Talstar with 1 gallon of water. Spray 2-3ft up the foundation and 2-3ft out from the foundation focusing on entry points to the home (window frames, window sills, door entries, cracks in foundation, etc) . Inside the home, spray Talstar as a crack and crevice treament along baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be mixed with dormant oil and applied simultaneously when temps are below 85?

    Yes, you can mix the two products together. We would recommend mixing a small tank mixture with Talstar P and dormant oil to make sure there is no clumping between the two products.

    06/21/2019
    Q
    Can I use Talstar P in the wind, why not if so?
    Is the reason Talstar P should not be used in the wind is that the vapors kill the insects or is it because the wind can cause the chemical to land on our skin and eyes?
    A

    Be sure to apply Talstar P Professional Insecticide on a day with little wind present to avoid drift to unwanted locations/unlisted areas (including on the applicator). We do offer a Basic Safety Kit for protective gear.
