  • Asked by Matt from Springhill, Florida
    06/11/2014
    Q
    Can I use Talstar P on the inside and outside of the home with an IGR for flea control?
    1 acre and 1/2 of land with also treating the inside of the house. I was looking at Talstar P and was going to add an IGR. Any recommendations?
    A
    Talstar P can be applied with an IGR such as Pivot 10 for outdoor flea control. For indoor flea we recommend applying a product such as Alpine Flea Insecticide with IGR because it can be broadcast inside the home and applied to furniture. It is recommended to make at least two applications indoors and outdoors two weeks apart. Each day during the course of the treatment, you will need to vacuum (even the hard surfaces) for the fastest elimination. Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.

    Q
    Best method to kill and prevent Mosquitos in residential wooded yard?
    I live in MN and I'm planning to purchase a Solo 451 for applying the chemical. My concern is which product will be more effective. The 2 that I'm considering from your website is Talstar P or permethrin (pyrana). Will one perform better than the other? What are the pros and cons of one over the other? Thank you for your help!
    A
    Talstar P (Talstar One) is highly recommended for Mosquito control. To further control and break down the reproductive cycle you can mix in Nyguard. Nyguard will cause the flying insects to become sterile after contacting it.

    Q
    How often are the soil treatments when using Talstar P (Talstar One) for termite protection?
    A
    Talstar P (Talstar One) lasts for about 5 years in the ground and works as a repellent, killing only those insects that come into contact with the treated area. If you are looking for a termite treatment that lasts longer, we would recommend Termidor SC. This product lasts for 10 years in the soil. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Rob from Lou. Ky.

    Q
    What is the best way to control adult bagworm infestation?
    I'd like to treat with spray and then systemically.
    A
    Talstar P is the #1 recommended product for bagworm control. TalstarP is known to have a very low toxicity for mammals making it safe to use around people and pets. Please visit the Talstar P product page where you can review the product label as well as the MSDS. Talstar P applications should start in April and continue monthly through June for bagworm control. Be sure foliage is sprayed thorughly to the point of runoff to achieve adequate coverage.

    The only systemic insecticide that we are aware of that is labeled for bagworms is Bonide Systemic Insect Control with Acephate but it is only labeled for use on shade trees and you must spray all of the foliage to get the desired results.Below you will see what we usually recommend for bagworm control.


    Bagworm recommendations:

    It is important to start control methods before a major infestation occurs. Once the bagworms have matured and have formed the "bag" most chemical control methods will no longer work.

    You can manually control bagworms by simply plucking them off of the infested trees and dropping them into a bucket of soapy water or squishing them.  This control method is most useful during fall, winter and early spring, before the eggs inside the bag have hatched.

    Chemical control may be achieved when the larvae are small and just emerging from the over-wintering bag.  Use a concentrated liquid insecticide such as Talstar or Tempo. Foliage should be thoroughly wetted with the insecticide spray in order to achieve thorough coverage.  When doing an insecticide treatment, timing is key. To find out the correct time of year to treat for bagworms in your region contact you local Cooperative Extension office. These offices can prove to be invaluable when treating for insect pests.

    Q
    We have large, black ants devouring our pear trees from within. What product should I use?
    We have used over the counter ant killers and nothing is working. Ants have eaten a HUGE CAVITY from the base of our pear tree up thru the center of the trunk. Now, they are starting on the next pear tree. We were told to get Talstar P, but have no idea which one of your many products we need to order.
    A
    You should not spray any edible vegetation such as pear trees with Talstar P. You should contact your local cooperative extension office for recommendations, as we are not sure what type of ant you are dealing with. The folks at the extension office are usually very well versed with local insects and what works best for them.

    Q
    What product should I use for prevention instead of what an exterminator uses?
    I do not want to have to have a service contract with an exterminator, but I'd also rather not wait to see bugs in my house. They would spray stuff outside the house, and then inside the house. While I am sure they handed me something that said it, I am also sure its exterminator grade, and I can not buy it. Is there something you would recommend that I can spray the same way, as an amateur, or do you disagree with the preventative spraying?
    A
    We do carry and sell all of the same products professional pest control operators use. Unless you live in a restricted state, you can purchase and use the same products. (restricted states are listed on each individual product page on our site.) Talstar P would a great all around insecticide for you to use indoors and outdoors for preventative pest control. Talstar P kills over 75 different insect pests and has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you have sprayed it. Plus, Talstar P is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and will not break down easily with rainfall. We also recommend that you use IPM or Integrated Pest Management to make the environment around your home unsuitable for insects. You can read more about IPM by reading our article : Integrated Pest Management IPM

    Q
    What do you do to get rid of Asian beetles in your garden?
    My girlfriends garden in Minnesota was over run with them this summer. Any preventative measure to use this fall? If not, what can I use next spring.
    A
    Asian beetles are generally seen as beneficial in gardens as they eat other bugs that are known to cause damage to plants. If this is not a vegetable garden and you need to get rid the Asian beetles, you can use Talstar P at a rate of 1 ounce per gallon of water. If you need to spray a vegetable or herb garden, you should contact your local cooperative extension office and seek further advice based on the type of plant that needs to be treated.

    Q
    Will any of your products kill stink bugs?
    We have probably a hundred around our house. They are becoming a nuisance. I need a product that sprays a wide area (i.e. back, front porches) etc.
    A

    We have put together an Overwintering kit that is just for stink bugs. This kit includes Demon WP insecticide with Cypermethrin, Eco PCO dust and a hand duster for easy application. You should treat once a month through November for best results.

    Q
    Will Talstar P work on stink bugs?
    A
    Talstar P will kill stinkbugs. You should dilute one ounce of Talstar P per gallon of water. You will use a hand pump sprayer to apply the solution on all door frames, window frames, areas where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure, a band of soil 6 to 10 feet adjacent to the structure, also to a height of 2 to 3 feet on the foundation where pests may be active or may find entrance. As the stink bugs crawl over the treated area, they will receive a lethal does of the insecticide and usually die within a few hours. You should treat every month starting in August and ending in November for best results.

    A
    We are not familiar with wood moths or Pollila. We did attempt to look them up with no success. We can tell you that Talstar P is not labeled for wood moths or Pollila. Perhaps these insects are not a pest species in the United States?

    Q
    What's a good treatment for around perimeter of the house in early spring?
    With warmer weather forecasted in central PA, it usually means some pre-spring activity is certain to happen, especially ants, flying ants, and horse flies and such.
    A

    You can prevent ants, flies and other insects from entering your home by applying a long lasting residual product such as Talstar. Talstar kills over 75 different insects and is safe to use indoors and outdoors, is gentle on plants, is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall. We also suggest you use Integrated Pest Management or IPM. IPM is a step by step approach that helps you identify the pest and determine why that pest is there, and then determine how to exclude the pest in the future. Please read the IPM article to learn how to successfully stop pests before they become a problem.
