    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.

    Q
    How many ounces for tree bark banding insect control in California?
    GWSS Tree banding application ounces per 100 gal water
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for this treatment type. You may want to consider using a product such as Quasar 8.5 SL which is labeled for GWSS and basal bark applications. Basal bark treatments are not effective on older trees greater than six inches in diameter or trees with very thick bark. Here is a link to the product label so you can see if this product suits your needs:

    Q
    Can you mix Taurus and Talstar together? Or what I really need to know is, can you mix any repellant with a non-repellent?
    A

    You would not want to use both Taurus SC and Talstar P on top of one another. It is never necessary to use more then one insecticide as it can have a reverse effect and detour the targeted pests from the area. Talstar P is our most common insecticide for general pest control. Taurus SC is our top recommendation for pest control and while it is labeled for other pests as well, Talstar has a broader label. If you would like to use both products you can use Talstar P inside your home along baseboards and cracks and crevices. Taurus SC is only labeled for outdoor use so you can apply Taurus around the perimeter of your home. Please let us know if you need any further information. We are always happy to help.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar p with diatomaceous earth?
    I have a springtail infestation, looks like they are all coming from outside into the house through our baseboards. Our whole house is surrounded by concrete so I added a layer of diatomaceous earth around our house while waiting for my Talstar P to arrive to hopefully prevent them from coming in so quickly. Would I be able to still spray my Talstar P around the house even though I have a layer of diatomaceous earth?
    A

    Yes, Talstar P Insecticide is fine to use with diatomaceous earth. Talstar can help reduce the number of springtails. For indoor control be sure to spray along the baseboards, window frames, door frames, piping like under the bathroom and kitchen sink, etc. As for outdoor control you should spray 2 to 3 feet up the side of the house and 2 to 3 feet out on the ground. Springtails can be tough to eliminate because they reproduce very quickly. In almost every case where people have springtails they also have a moisture problem such as a leaking or sweating pipe, poor ventilation in their crawl space, lots of wet mulch right up next to their house, etc. You must locate and correct the moisture problem to get rid of the spring tails, as insecticides alone will not do the job.

    Q
    What sprayer is recommended?
    I see In the video an aluminum looking sprayer is used. Can a plastic sprayer be used and can I store said container with Talstar in it for a period of time?
    A

    You can apply Talstar P with a hand pump sprayer or a hose-end sprayer. Either applicator will work fine and it really boils down to personal preference. If you are treating a large yard it may be more convenient to use a hose end sprayer to avoid constantly refilling a smaller hand pump sprayer.

    Q
    Can I apply Talstar and milky spore for grubs at the same time?
    A

    You cannot use Talstar for grub control as it is not on the label. You are able to apply other insecticides before or after applying Milky Spore Lawn Spreader Mix but we would suggest waiting 2-3 days between applications. We do have other several products that are specifically labeled for grub worms on our website: Grub Worm Control. We also recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and inquire about the best time to start treatments for grubs in your region.
