    Q
    Does Talstar P kill Scorpions.
    If Talstar P does kill scorpions do you know how long it takes them to die once they make contact. I bought this product and believe it's as good as you guys say it is.
    A
    Yes, Talstar P will treat scorpions. You want to mix at a rate of 1oz talstar to one gallon of water. Talstar will kill scorpions in a matter of minutes, depending on the size.

    Q
    Willl Talstar P (Talstar One) control and kill Bagworms in my pine trees?
    Will this product kill bagworm infestation in my pine trees in july?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is a great product to use for Bagworms on Pine trees. In fact, it is our number on recommendation for Bag worms. Yes, Talstar will kill insects shortly after they come in contact with it. It is important to keep in mind that bagworms are very difficult to control with chemical methods once they have matured and formed their protective "bags." See our Bagworm Control Page for more details.

    Q
    How do you compare Bifen/Talstar P versus Tempo SC?
    I am using to kill mosquitoes in the yard by backpack sprayer/mister and also applying along perimeter of home and area where ant hide. Are both equally effective or would one be superior in any way?
    A

    Bifen IT and/or Talstar P and Tempo SC Ultra are very good products for mosquito control. The biggest difference between them is that they have two different active ingredients. They are both great insecticides and can be alternated so that there is no pest resistance built up.

    Q
    Will Talstar P(Talstar One) kill chinch bugs and grub worms? Waco, Tx.
    A
    Talstar P is labeled for chinch bugs and will do a great job controlling this pest. Talstar P 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.

  • Asked by Lorraine
    07/11/2010
    Q
    Can I spray another application of Talstar P for army worms? I sprayed four days ago.
    I applied one ounce of Talstar One four days ago at dusk. I noticed tonight that there are still moths and worms. Is it safe to apply another application, or is it to soon? How long does it take to get rid of these pests? If it is to soon, do you have any other suggestions? Thank you so much.
    A

    The application rate of 1 ounce of Talstar One per gallon of water is correct, as is treating in the evening when the insects have come out of hiding and are exposed. You can retreat after 2 weeks in most cases. You should notice a reduction in the number of army worms within the first few days but because the moths can migrate from just about anywhere, you may continue to see them (the moths do not cause damage).

    Q

    Can it be applied when temps are 90+?
    A

    For best results, Talstar P should be applied when temperatures are between 40-85 degrees F.  If your temps are higher than that during the day, apply in the early morning or evening.

  • Asked by Mike
    07/09/2011
    Q
    I used the max amount of 1 oz of Talstar P to one gallon of water. If I were to use 2 oz. per gallon, would it work even better?
    A
    No, it would not.  The homeowner way of thinking is usually that more is better, but keep in mind that these are professional products and are much stronger already than over the counter products.  Talstar P works so well at 1 ounce per gallon, that applying more than that really is just wasting money and product.  You will typically not see any better results by doing this.

  • Asked by Anne from Grass Lake, Mi
    07/20/2015
    Q
    What is the best time of day to apply Talstar for mosquito control?
    Also, what range is needed to provide relief? We live in a heavily wooded area, and I would like to know how far into the "woods" we need to go.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) should be applied in the morning or evening especially during the summer. You really just need to focus on the tree line. Spray the undersides of leaves on the trees and shrubs. Focus on debris piles like leaf piles, pinestraw and shaded moist areas. Please see our Mosquito Pest Guide for more information about treating for mosquitoes.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar directly on tomato plants?
    I have stink bugs destroying my tomatoes. Would they absorb (the tomatoes) the Talstar if I spray it on them?
    A
    You can absolutely NOT use Talstar on any kind of edible vegetation.  If you have already you will need to discard of those items.  Unfortunately the only product we have at this time that is labeled for treatment of stink bugs on edible crops is Venom.

    Q
    What happens when i put too much Talstar P into a gallon of water?
    A

    Mixing too much of an insecticide like Talstar P (Talstar One) is never recommended.  Over-application can make an area more repellent, causing insects to avoid it so that the product cannot do its job.

    Q
    Will Talstar P completely kill off and prevent bed bugs from returning?
    We have found some dead bed bugs after spraying our entire house. Will it completely kill off bed bugs and prevent them from returning? Or is there a possibility that the bugs may still be in the house?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) will only kill those bugs that contact a treated area and states on the product label it should not be used alone for effective eliminate of bed bugs.  This residual can last up to 90 days inside along baseboard, cracks and crevices, etc.  It will not prevent a reinfestation.  Typically, one product will not do the job.  That's why we offer our Bed Bug Kits which have multiple products that are used in different areas in the bedroom and that do different things.  The kit is exactly the products that a professional company would use and charge you hundreds of dollars to apply.  All of our kits come with full instructions on where to apply each product.  We make it easy as possible for you to treat your own bed bug problem, and our kits have a very high success rate when used correctly.

    We also have a helpful prevention guide here.
