  • Asked by Richard from Hemet,ca

    Q
    Is Talstar P Professional Insecticide effective on bed bugs?
    A

    Yes, Talstar P Professional Insecticide is labeled for bedbugs and should be applied at the highest concentration of 1 fl oz per gallon of water. According to the product label: "Thorough application should be made to crack and crevices where evidence of bed bugs occurs. This includes bed frames, box springs, inside empty dressers and clothes closets and carpet edges, high and low wall moldings and wallpaper edges. Do not use this product on bed linens, pillows, mattresses or clothes. Remove all clothes and other articles from dressers or clothes closets before application. Allow all treated areas to thoroughly dry before use.
    Important note from the manufacturer: “Not recommended for use as sole protection against bedbugs. If evidence of bedbugs is found in/on mattresses, use products approved for this use."

    The most effective treatment for active bed bug infestations would be using a combination of products as we have in one of our Bed Bug Kits. These kits are based on how many bedrooms you have and contain enough product for the initial application and 2-3 follow up treatments that are required for bes results. Repeat treatments should be done every 7-10 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs or without anyone getting bit. 

    You may also find it helpful to read our Bedbug Treatment Guide as it contains a lot of useful information regarding where and how to treat for bedbugs.

    Q
    Is Talstar P Professional Insecticide pet friendly?
    I have a few rental properties and looking to do the pest control myself besides paying some corporate companies a lot of money, I need something that will work for roaches especially for the German roach as they are very bad in Louisiana and the cockroaches, I want a chemical that can be sprayed inside but that will be also pet friendly as I have 6 homes and 2 of them has 2 cat and the other home has a little dog, I don't want to cause any harm to the lovely pets they own, Thank You for any response and recommendations.
    A

    Talstar P is our most popular product for general pest control. labeled for over 75 different insects and can be used both inside and outside the home. If any of the rental properties has an active German Roach infestation, a combination of products would be the best approach. Temprid FX Insecticide, in addtion to a roach gel bait and insect growth regulator would be the most effective treatment. Take a look at our Roach Control Kits that contain the best combination of products for 2-3 treatments.  

    These products are all safe to be used around kids and pets when applied per the product labels and once the application has dried. Keep kids and pets out while treating.

    Q
    Can you treat in the rain or when it’s sprinkling with Talstar P Professional Insecticide?
    When it’s sprinkling outside or raining I would like to know if this product can be used.
    A

    When applying Talstar or most other insecticides, it is best applied during dry weather and you want to make sure the product has at least 6 hours of full dry time prior to rain or watering to ensure it is completely rainfast though 24 hours is best.  At the highest rate it has a residual up to 30 days.

    Q
    Crape Myrtle Bark Scale using Talstar P Professional Insecticide
    Can this kill the insects that cause Crape Myrtle Bark Scale on my crepe Myrtle’s? Do I spray directly on the bark?
    A

    Yes, Talstar P Professional Insecticide is labeled for scale. You mix it at .5 per gallon & spray directly on the tree trunk as well as the foliage and stems. You may also consider doing a drench around with the base with Dominion 2L Termiticide before they are active for prevention.

    Q
    Sprayed my yard and around peach tree with Talstar P Professional Insecticide
    My peach tree is about 5 to 8 years old. I believe it has some moth in it. It produces the sweetest juseist peaches the last 2 years I had to toss most of them because the fruit has small holes and a jelly like ozzie leaking out of them. I sprayed 2 weeks ago when can I spray again. The peaches are on the tree now and I'm seeing the same things on them. If you have a different idea for me I would be happy to read it.
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled to treat any edible vegetation, so it should NOT be sprayed on the fruit, the tree, the soil around the tree, or the root zone. The manufacturer does recommend that you discard any fruit from the tree for this growing season if the tree was sprayed with Talstar P. 
     
    We would recommend that you use Monterey Fruit Tree and Vegetable Systemic Soil Drench in the future because it is labeled for fruit trees. Please see the product label for additional information.

    10/22/2012
    Q
    We are looking for a product that will kill fire ants in Florida and still be horse friendly we have about 7
    acres to be treated how much do i need?
    A
    Extinguish Plus is actually the product of choice in areas where horses may be kept or will be grazing (as long as the horses will not be used for feed or food). Extinguish Plus combines the power of hydramethylnon with an insect growth regulator (IGR) to kill fire ant workers and prevent queens from laying fertile eggs. The result is complete fire ant colony control. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is best used in the spring or early fall, or whenever fire ants are active. The ants will feed off Extinguish Plus and spread the bait throughout the entire colony, halting the infestation within weeks. You will need about 2 lbs per acre and you can purchase it in a 25 lb bag. Talstar cannot be used on areas where animlas will graze.

    Q
    Which to use first Termidor SC or Talstar P on my newly constructed home and barrier?
    I am considering using both Termador SC (because I had such great results with it in the past) as a protective barrier on my home. I also want to do a barrier with Talstar P because of all the other pests (mosquitos, roaches, stink bugs) that it treats. Which should I product use first? Should I wait a period of time before applying the other product? Will the products work adversely or well with each other? Thanks

  • Asked by James from Stuart, Florida
    04/15/2013
    Q
    Will Talstar P control hoosehold casebearers (Phereoeca uterella)?
    A
    When the larva or the moths make contact with areas that have been treated with Talstar P or Demand CS they will be killed by the dry residual. They must contact the treated area for any products to work. Typically a crack and crevice application of either product, lots of cleaning under furniture, appliances and under cabinets and lots of vacuuming will help eliminate these pests. Any wool items should be examined for damage and cleaned if needed.

    Q
    Can you spray trees in the early spring that have caterpillars in them?
    Would you be able to make a dilution to be used in a pressure washer to reach high trees?
    A
    You can start spraying when the caterpillars are young for best results. 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.
