    Q
    İ have chickens in my back yard, is talstar safe for chickens?
    A
    As long as you keep the chickens out of the area while you treat and until the areas are completely dry they will be safe. It also will not hurt the chickens if they eat any insects that have died from the Talstar.

    What is the best product to use to spray outer perimeter of house for pest control?

  • Asked by Leo from Ocala Fla
    04/16/2013
    Q
    What is the mixture ratio of Talstar P to kill mole crickets?
    A

    We recommend using 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water. Use 2 gallons of solution/1000 square feet, immediate irrigation of treated area with at least 0.25 inches of water following application to ensure efficacy of sub-surface pests such as,
    but not limited to, Mole Crickets, is recommended.

     

    Mole Cricket adults: Achieving acceptable control of adult mole crickets is difficult because preferred grass areas are subject to continuous invasion during the early spring by this extremely active stage. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate
    before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized. Grass areas that receive pressure from adult mole crickets should be treated at peak egg hatch to ensure optimum control of subsequent nymph populations (see below).


    Mole Cricket nymphs: Grass areas that received intense adult mole cricket pressure in the spring should be treated immediately prior to peak egg hatch. Optimal control is achieved at this time because young nymphs are more susceptible to insecticides and they are located near the soil surface where the insecticide is most concentrated. Control of larger, more damaging, nymphs later in the
    year may require both higher application rates and more frequent applications to maintain acceptable control. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized.

    Q
    How should I use Talstar to get rid of millipedes?
    I bought Talstar P (Talstar One) to get rid of millipedes. The millipedes are around my garage doors on both my garages and they are slowly getting into my home. I have used this product per the directions, but it hasn't made a difference. It kills the ones I can see, but the next day more are back. I have not only sprayed the perimeter of my house/garages, but all the cracks in the concrete. what am I doing wrong?
    A
    What concentration are you using? We recommend using the highest rate of 1 ounce per gallon of water for millipedes. Also, insects do not die as soon as they touch Talstar P. It takes time for them to actually die after coming in contact with the dry residual. You need to give the product time to work. Millipedes are going to be in areas that have a lot of moisture, so finding a way to get rid of some of the moisture will be helpful too. If you have mulch around your house you need to make sure you rake it back at least 6 inches from the base of the house and turn the mulch frequently.

    Q
    Which product should I use to treat sod webworms in saint-augustine grass?
    I live in Texas, south of Houston (Angleton Tx. 77515). Which one of these two products ( new Cyonara for Lawns or Talstar P) will work the best to treat my lawn to get rid of the sod webworms? Will I need to treat it a second time after a certain time frame?
    A
    The most popular product for sod webworms is Talstar. Talstar is very effective on most insects and it is gentle to plants. Time applications to control young larvae, if possible. Spot treatments may be applied when infestations are first detected and the damaged area is small. The treatment will be most effective if applied in the early evening when larvae begin feeding. Please check with your local cooperative extension office to see if a second generation is possible in one season in your region.

    Q
    What is the ratio for 4E diazinon for ants, bugs etc? Of course I lost the pamphlet
    I also have a dog, any danger?? A large Lab..
    A
    Residential uses of diazinon were outlawed in the U.S. in 2004. We were able to find product labels by searching for "diazinon 4E specimen label", but we would still recommend contacting the manufacturer for advice on product  usage and safety. We have several products for general pest control that are readily available and are safe to use around humans and pets. Talstar P is one of our best sellers and is also one of safest products for use around the house and is very effective for over 75 different insects .

    Q
    Will talstar p kill flies if sprayed everywhere we see flies?
    A
    Talstar P can be sprayed in many areas of the lawn where flies are present to try and control the population. It cannot be sprayed on any edibles but ornamentals, trees, bushes and lawns can be spraye with the Talstar safely. Any area you spray the Talstar, if a fly lands on any of the treated surfaces it will die from it as it grooms itself and ingests it.

    Q
    Will Talstar P be effective for killing carpenter bees?
    I see that Demand CS (lambda-csi) is specifically labeled to kill carpenter bees, but is much more expensive. Also is dusting the nest necessary, or will re-spraying the nest periodically (monthly?) be effective as well to kill larvae?
    A
    Talstar P is very effective for controlling carpenter bees. We do recommend dusting the actual nests because the dust will last longer than a liquid. This is important because it can take a while for the egg to hatch and for the larvae to come into contact with the product.

    Q
    Does Talstar-P kill stink bugs and box elder bugs?
    If so, does it only kill them on contact, or will it remain effective for newly arriving bugs?
    A
    Talstar P does work for stinkbugs and 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
    Does Talstar P kill chiggers, fleas and ticks? (Mainly chiggers)
    I have sprayed my lawn (1/2 acre) with Talstar and still get chigger bite's when I walk out in my yard. I just order more Talstar from you guys just wondering if I should be applying something else instead.
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for chiggers, fleas and ticks outdoors at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge.
