Yes, Talstar P is safe to use on tropical hibiscus.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide cannot be used in any fogger. It can only be used via a sprayer or a mister
Concentrates such as Talstar are not considered to be contact kills, especially for wasps and spiders. Even if you got close enough with a mist application from your backpack sprayer, the spray would not kill a wasp fast enough. They would die, but not right away. You can spray surfaces so when wasps land on the surface they will pick up the spray and die, but they will not die right away. The only product that provides fast knockdown of larger flying insects like wasps and hornets is Wasp Freeze, which comes in an aerosol can but it shoots over 15 feet so you can knock them down from a safe distance
A better option would be to use dust where you see them coming and going and as they are doing so will pick up and carry back to the nest. Tempo Dust would be great to use in a hand duster.
Any type of a fan nozzle would be best for spraying the eves. For most sprayers, you have to buy their nozzles in order to fit their sprayer.
Storing Talstar P Professional Insecticide in a room temperature enviroment (between 45 and 75 degrees) would give you the best shelf life. If you are storing it outside in a shed when there is freezing temps & the product were to freeze, it would need to be disposed of
Yes, Talstar P is labeled for stink bugs and lady bugs. The mixing ratio is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This will be used to spray around baseboards, cracks and crevices to help kill those that contact a treated area.
The Overwintering Kit is an excellent combination of products that protects you during your winter months with an insecticide and a dust. We generally do recommend at least using a dust with any other product, such as Talstar P, that you are using as an added protection to consider using throughout the year.
The rate for Talstar P Professional Insecticide will depend on the target pest and area you need to treat. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.
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.
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.
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.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide is a liquid insecticide that is labeled to treat ticks. It can be harmful to pollinators if they land on any of the areas where the product has been applied. To reduce the risk to pollinators, we recommend applying the product either early in the morning or late in the evening when they are less active.
Yes, Talstar P is not a selective insecticide and it will kill any insects that come into contact with treated areas. You can reduce the risk to your bees by keeping applications away from areas where the bees are actively foraging, avoid blooming plants, and at times when the bees are not active in general, early morning or later in the evening. And keeping applications at least 25 feet away.
Permethrin SFR 36.8% and Talstar P should not be mixed together. That would be over-application. You can mix Talstar with Exponent for a super kick against insects. Permethrin SFR is not labeled to be used in a fogger.
Talstar is not designed to be used in a fogger of any sort, only sprayers or large mist blowers like a Solo 451. Using Talstar or any other insecticide not designed for a fogger could clog your equipment or lower the efficacy of the product as the ingredients are not designed for this type of application. You may want to consider some of our Fogging Concentrates to see which best fits your needs and type of fogger. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
The Talstar P is a great professional product to use around any indoor/outdoor setting including Perimeters, Athletic Fields, Greenhouses, Kennels, Parks, Restaurants, Lawns, Turf-grass, Landscapes Ornamental Trees & Shrubs. However, it can NOT be sprayed near or directly on the pear tree. Talstar P 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.
Yes, Talstar P is labeled for and will help eliminate bees. To use Talstar P for carpenter bee control you should mix 1 oz of Talstar per 1 gallon of water and spray the areas where you have noticed activity such as the eaves, fascia boards, moldings, overhangs, or siding. You should reapply the Talstar P once a month through the warm season for the est results. Please note that Talstar P will not offer an instant knockdown of insects, it will take several minutes to a few hours for them to die after they come into contact with treated areas. We also recommend dusting the carpenter bee holes with dust such as Tempo Dust to help kill any larva inside. Do not plug the holes for at least 30 days after dusting to prevent the developing larva from drilling a new hole to exit. Please refer to our online Carpenter Bee Guide for more tips.
We do recommend that you cover furniture, or move furniture to the center of the room to avoid drift of the Talstar while spraying. If you intend to use the spray indoors, please make sure you have good ventilation or open windows to allow the product to dry quickly. Any person(s), children, or pets, must be away from the treated areas until the product dries.
No, we would not recommend mixing all of those products together into one application. You can mix Talstar with the Archer for your mosquito treatment, focusing on your shrubs and trees, (not so much on your lawn), making sure to spray the underside of the leaves, as this is where the mosquitoes land. You should be retreating every 30 days for mosquitoes. Your imidacloprid would be for your grub treatment, which should be done a bit later in May and then again in September, as grubs have 2 generations per year. The Eagle 20 EW is your fungicide treatment which would be best not to be mixed with your insecticides.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide is no longer stable after it has frozen and then thawed back out. We would not recommend using it.
Talstar P is safe if applied and dried prior to the dogs entering the treated surfaces for the initial application. Typically after 4-6 hours for outside applications and an hour if used inside.
Talstar can be used indoors and outdoors, and is pet safe if used as directed.
