    Q
    Will Talstar kill ticks??
    A

    Yes, Talstar P will kill ticks. We also recommend mixing in an IGR to help break down the reporductive cycle. You can use something like Nyguard IGR. You would mix 1 oz Talstar with 3-8 ml Nyguard IGR into one gallon water.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied using a pressure washing system rather than a misting backpack sprayer?
    A
    We recommend using the 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water ratio for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. As for using it in the pressure washer, we really cannot give any advice on that type of application as most insecticide (if not all) are not labeled for use in pressure washer.

    Q
    Bug poison for yards.
    I am looking for a granular ant/roach/arachnid poison that is dog safe. I am probably asking for to much.
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar P, which would be a better product for trying to control spiders and the prey they feed on.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  Children and pets should be out of the area while you are applying the product until it dries.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests. Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules.

    Q
    I live in CA and I have roaches, earwigs and some spiders.
    I'm looking for a good all around spray to use on the outside of the house and perimeter of the yard. I do have dogs that can be put indoors for a short time to do the spray and let it dry. Also, I have small kids with lots of toys and swing in yard.
    A
    We would recommend that you treat in and out of your home with Talstar. It can be applied along the baseboards inside once every three months and outside monthly. You will mix 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. It is labeled to treat roaches, earwigs, spiders and many more. It is safe for children and pets when dry. We do not recommend spraying the outdoor toys and swings that the children play with.

    Q
    Should I mix my Talstar with the Gentrol I bought for German roach infestation
    I have treated a rental home with Talstar P twice. The second time I used cy-kick on cracks and crevices then follow up with another round of talstar. I still have a significant infestation. I used to do pest control so I know how to apply these product and how to prep. I just purchased some gentrol and max force bait. I would like to know if you recommend another product to mix with the gentrol instead of the talstar.
    A
    You could certainly mix Gentol with Talstar or Cy-Kick. You would mix 1oz Talstar with 1 oz Gentrol into one gallon water. Make sure to spray in areas you are not baiting.

    Q
    What pest control works for gnats inside and is safe for humans?
    A
    To treat gnats indoors we recommend using the Flyweb Fly light and a crack and crevice spray like Talstar. The Flyweb will attract flying insects and then catch them with the attached glueboard. Talstar is to be applied to cracks, crevice, baseboards, entry points. Talstar is safe for people and pets to be around after the treated area has dried.

    Q
    Can you apply Talstar with high pressure sodium grow lights on?
    Or like some miticides, should the lights be off? And do you need to mix with purified water or can tap water be good enough? Using for broad mites and spider mites.
    A
    We are not aware of any lighting restrictions that should be followed while applying Talstar P.  This product is not specificially a miticide but more of a general pest control product label to treat specific types of mites.  You could contact the manufacturer directly to confirm any lighting issues, FMC can be reached at 800-321-1362.  There is no special requirements on the type of water you use, tap water will be fine.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used on rugs both in a home and vehicle is there a strong odor?
    I live in south Florida next to a canal and we seem to have a huge no see um issue. Although, we have no standing water. We are getting bit by something we cannot see. Continuous use of repellents is not a option.
    A
    Talstar P is odorless but cannot be applied as an indoor broadcast application. It is labeled only as a crack and crevice application per the product label. We recommend that you vacuum daily, use a steamer and apply BioDefense in the home and the vehicle. BioDefense has a lemongrass scent that will eventually dissapate.

    Q
    I am buying my first power sprayer to start doing pest control for my neighbors.
    Do you use the same pesticides in the 50-gallon tank as you do for the normal hand sprayer?
    A
    Normally, yes, you would use the same products in both the pump sprayer and 50 gal tank. Be sure to review the product label, as sometimes there are different mixing ratios for 50 gal tank sprayers

    Q
    Have Home Pest Defence system where they spray inside walls and supposedly push through with some type of gas
    I would like to know if there is sprayer I can use to treat home using those entrances around my house - don't want to be dependent upon them FOREVER because the house was built with that system
    A
    We do not carry or distribute the in wall systems so we cannot advise what to use.  We do know that most of those systems require a pressurized piece of equipment to properly treat the lines which most homeowners do not have.  We will say that the downside to those systems is that they do not prevent pests from entering your home since the bugs have to come inside the walls to come into contact with anything.  It is a much better approach to treat the exterior of your home with a professional product like Talstar P every 3 months which keep insects out of your home in the first place.  And all you need is a hand pump sprayer, not a specialized piece of equipment.
