    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
    What is a product that's as effective as Talstar P but has a 3 month residual?
    I purchased Talstar P last year and it worked great. I started doing my own pest control versus paying a local company. However, I had to reapply every month. The local company came every 3-4 months. I want something that will last the same.
    A

    Demand CS is a micro-encapsulated product that would give you up to a 90 day residual. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
     
    Another option would be Onslaught. You may view the full product label here.

    Q
    What Insecticide can be mixed with Talstar P to help Kill Bed Bugs?
    The Instructions state that, "Talstar P Professional Insecticide may be tank-mixed with adjuvants and with other pesticides" What other pesticides would be effective to mix (With) Talstar P to Kill Bed Bugs? I understand you have separate bed bug "kits". However, "kits" are not what I'm looking to purchase. Im looking for Specific Insecticides to Mix with Talstar P. to Kill Bed Bugs -Thank You In Advance...
    A
    While Tasltar is labeled for bed bug control, it is not our top choice as there has been resistance to it. There are products that you can add to it like the ExciteR Insecticide which is a fast knockdown or the Gentrol IGR Concentrate which is a growth regulator but the studies on these products helping are not conclusive. 
     
    You would get better control and less resistance with a product like Temprid FX Insecticide. This would give you a better residual and kill rate than trying to add things to the Talstar.

    Q
    Is it effective against carpet beetles?
    A

    While the product will not hurt the carpet, Talstar P is not labeled to be broadcast sprayed over carpeted areas for carpet beetle control. Talstar P can only be used as a crack and crevice application indoors. For indoor carpet beetle control you may want to consider a product such as Nyguard Plus. This product contains an insecticide to kill the roaming adults and an insect growth regulator to stop the harder to kill immature beetles from reaching a reproductive state which in turn will break the cycle of infestation. As an added bonus this product also contains a deodorizer for carpet applications.
