    Q
    Bermuda grass turning brown after being sprayed with Talstar P.
    I sprayed my Bermuda grass when it was around 92 degrees in the afternoon. My grass is now turning brown, is this normal? Will my grass be okay?
    A
    We do advise not spraying Talstar P during the heat of day to avoid scorching your lawn which is what could have happened to your lawn.  When used as directed Talstar should not harm the grass and it should be ok after a while with watering and time as the product is not a systemic that would be absorbed through the plant.

    Q
    Will Talstar work for centipedes?
    Is Talstar safe inside and around kids?
    A

    Talstar would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Indoors you can apply Talstar P to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive. 

    Remove Favorabe Conditions

    • Fix leaky faucets or pipes and dry up wet or damp areas where centipedes thrive
    • Remove outdoor harborages near the home that hold moisture (compost, wood, or leaf piles, etc).
    • Store firewood off the ground at least 20 feet away from the home
    • Water your lawn in the morning so that it will be dry by afternoon
    • Do not over mulch flower beds, since soggy mulch is an ideal harborage for centipedes

  • Asked by Monique from El Paso Tx

    Q
    When can you clean the floors after the inside of your house has been sprayed with Talstar?
    With that question: does cleaning the floor remove any residue left after it's dry? And if the floor gets wet where the spray was dry is it bad for young children and pets?
    A

    Talstar is meant to be applied to cracks and crevices not as a broadcast to floors. If you do mop an area that Talstar has been applied, then you could potentially take the product up and Talstar would need to be re applied.

  • Asked by Thaddeus from Virginia Beach, Va

    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied with a sponge to metal window frames?
    I don't want to use a sprayer because I'm afraid the spray will mess up the window glass.
    A

    A hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer would be the preferred method of application for using Talstar P, a sponge would be not recommended.  When treating around doors and windows you will want to spray around the frame of the windows themselves and where the windows slide past each other when opening  You would not need to spray the glass to get an effective treatment but can spray screens if needed.

    Q
    Does Talstar P work for scorpions?
    A

    Talstar P will treat scorpions and do a great job eliminating their food source so that they will leave the area for better hunting grounds. You want to mix at a rate of 1 oz to one gallon of water.  Please see our Scorpion Control Page for more information about treating for this pest.

    Q
    What is good for treating against Box Elder bugs?
    A

    Talstar P does work for  boxelder bugs. Talstar P does not have an immediate knockdown effect but it does leave a long lasting residual. We do encourage our customers to apply Talstar P once a month through the stinkbug/boxelder bug season (August-November).

    Q
    Can you use Talstar P then follow up using raid roach spray?
    How long will it take to get rid of all these roaches my house is beyond infested with roaches they are in my microwave, stove in the table cracks ever where!!!!
    A

    We would not recommend applying a product on top of the treated areas with Talstar P. It offers a residual control and takes time for eradication. Raid is more of a contact spray. We recommend that you take a few moments to read our article on eliminating roaches for more helpful tips. We also carry professional Roach Control Kits are effective in treating this insect.

    Q
    Does Talstar P kill bedbugs?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for bedbugs. According to the product label, it should not be the only product that you use for bedbug control. We recommend that you treat with the items in one of our Bedbug Kits as the kits multiple products needed for treatment. Please take a few moments to review our article,' How to Get Rid of Bedbugs' (that also includes videos) for more information on treating bedbugs.

    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
    What's the mixing ratio of Talstar P when using a lawn sprayer that's connected to a garden hose?
    I know it's 1 oz per gallon in a pump sprayer.
    A

    The rate for Talstar P in a hose end sprayer would be the same as if you were using in a pump sprayer, 0.5 to 1 fl oz (1 - 2 tbsp) per gallon of water for low volume applications, or 0.5 -1.0 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet in a higher volume of water.

    Q
    What is the distance allowed to spray Talstar P without harming the edible fruits and veggies?
    Lawn needs care of bugs, but I have two fruit trees that are 3 to 4 feet away from the edge of the lawn. Is it safe to use? My concern is the roots of the trees can absorb the toxin.
    A

    It is recommended that Talstar P not be used within 3 feet or outside the drip zone of edibles, which ever one applies.

    Q
    We have a micro pig that eats grass is it safe to use Talstar Pro/Demon Max with pig
    In the past I have typically treated our home with Talstar Pro/ Demon Max if the pig eats grass treated by the product will it harm him
    A

    Neither the Talstar P or Demon Max are labeled to be used where animals would graze so we would not recommend applying it areas the micro pig could eat.  Instead we would recommend using something like Essentria All Purpose which is an all natural product that is OMRI approved and labeled for pastures and rangeland.

    A

    Yes, you can disperse Talstar P and NyGuard IGR in a backpack sprayer and/or a mist blower. You will mix 1 oz of Talstar P to 3ml of NyGuard IGR per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.

    Q
    Is there a Talstar available to licensed applicator?
    I am a new licensed applicator and best i can tell the general public can buy the same product, where is my advantage here? Do you have a rup they CAN NOT buy without a license! Please answer privately Thank you
    A

    There are various products that are not available to the general public depending on where they live. We are unsure of exactly what you are asking. These products can be purchased by homeowners, however, the advantage that you have over a homeowner is that they can spray only their home. You can legally spray for profit.

    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.

  • Asked by Sharonne from Willis, Texas
    06/25/2016
    Q
    Will Talstar kill camel crickets?
    A

    Talstar P will kill camel crickets. Apply Talstar P as a crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Do not use as a space spray. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices. We recommend treating the outside perimeter to help stop insect pests from coming indoors to start with. Apply Talstar P to a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet.
