Yes, Talstar P Professional Insecticide has a secondary product label specifically for treating Spotted Lantern Flies.
Yes, rotating insecticides is a good idea to prevent resistance however this normally takes years to happen. Some customer rotate every year or when they start to notice the product may not be working as well as it did in the beginning. It would not hurt to use another active ingredient for your next treatment, a great alternative to Talstar is Suspend SC. Mix 1.5oz Suspend SC with 1 gallon of water along with the Archer IGR for Mosquito control
Talstar P is safe for pets if used as directed. Pets need to be kept out of the area during application and can return to the area once it is dry.
Bat bugs are treated very similarly to bed bugs. Bats are their preferred host, but this does not negate them from humans. They do tend to come once the bats are gone because they are looking for a host. We would recommend using Temprid FX as a treatment for the rooms. You will mix 16 mL per gallon of water and treat in the room that has the bugs as well as all the surrounding rooms to prevent them from spreading. This will be applied with a pump sprayer. You will do this every 10-14 days until you do not see any activity for 30 days. We would also recommend using Cimexa Dust in the wall voids. You will do a couple of puffs per wall outlet and light plate with a hand duster. You will do this in all the wall voids of the home.
Talstar P cannot be used on anything edible. Ferti-lome Triple Action is labeled to treat for chiggers on Fruits, Herbs, Nuts, Spices, Vegetables, Roses, Flowers & Shrubs.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide is a chemical so could have a reaction with the type of paint used on the sign. But there is really no way of knowing if it was the spray, paint, or age. Also, Talstar is not labeled to be sprayed on signs.
Yes, adult Japanese Beetles can be controlled using Talstar P. Thoroughly spray the foliage using 1 oz per gallon of water/1000 sq ft for best results. Talstar should not harm trees or shrubs if used according to the instructions on the product label.
Talstar P is safe for use on most plants. Having said that we still recommend you test the product on just one or two plants before using it on all of the plants to test for damage as some plants can be more sensitive than others.
Yes, Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites and can be used on spruce trees. Talstar provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar.
You should reapply the Talstar P once a month through the warm season for best 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 a 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 whole to exit.
Yes, Talstar is labeled to be used indoors in the areas mentioned. Please make sure to follow full label instructions prior to application.
Talstar P is great for treating mosquitoes and can be applied in a hose end sprayer. You will mix one ounce per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.
Mosquito Control
No, Talstar P Professional Insecticide cannot be applied via a fogger. It can only be applied via a sprayer or mister. There are not many products that can be fogged outdoors & those that can do not leave a residual like Talstar does. Their residual tends to last as long as the fog is there but once it's gone so is the residual. Fogging is only really recommended prior to an event but not as a long term pest control remedy
Yes, Talstar P is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and will not break down easily with rainfall.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide is a great product for chinch bugs. Chinch bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Chinch bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher applications rates will be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer. It may also be necessary to remove the thatch layer if it exceeds 1 inch in thickness to allow the Talstar to penetrate down to the soil. When treating for chinch bugs it is recommended that you do a second treatment 21-30 days after the first treatment. You will use 1 fl. oz. of product per gallon of water. This will treat 1000 square feet. Be sure to water the product in at least 0.5 inches after it has been applied.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide is not intended to be broadcasted on floors the way it is. We would recommend trying to remove the product with hot soapy water. If it was carpet, a shampooer with soap & water should be able to remove the residual from the floor.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide can be mixed with fertilizers so iron being in the water should not affect it. Where the water comes from should not make a difference in the efficacy of the Talstar or other chemicals, however if the water is extremely alkaline or acidic that could affect the products stability in the solution.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide cannot be fogged but should not harm artificial turf. However, since manufacturers have likely not tested on artificial turf it is recommended to test on a small area first
