    Q
    Can I mix permethrin sfr together with Talstar P?
    Can I mix both products together and apply it all at once in a backpack fogger or should they be kept separate for mosquito control?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Talstar p able to be used for mosquitos around an outdoor dining area?
    I was to spray for mosquitoes at my restaurant. We have several pare trees planted for shade. Area is all concrete, minus the areas that have tree. No food prep in the area. Only outdoor seating
    A

    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.

    Q
    Does this kill carpenter bees?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Do I need to cover furniture or remove furniture before use on indoor baseboards, perimeter, cracks, etc
    Hello, I would just like to know if I need to remove my couch from the living room before sparing the perimeter of the room (indoors). Same would go for my mattress in the bedroom or chairs in the dining room etc? I intend to spray only the perimeter baseboards/ cracks of the interior of my home but I am unsure if any aerosol will get onto the furniture and how seriously I should try to avoid this
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with Beta cyfluthrin and Imidacloprid along with Archer igr and Eagle 20ew?
    I’m looking to treat mosquitoes, white grub worms and do a fungicide treatment all in one if possible in a backpack tank sprayer
    A

    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 not labeled for use in or around edible crops. We would recommend using Fertilome Triple Action for squash vine borers. This product is an insecticide, fungicide and miticide all in one. This can be used up until the day of harvest.

    Q
    What insecticide is good for a firewood stack?
    A

    You can use Talstar P to treat the area where you will be stacking up your firewood, wait for it to dry and then stack the wood. There are also instructions on the label, on page 4, to use 1 oz per gallon of water and use a gallon per 8 square feet to spray and drench the soil where the firewood will be stacked to protect the firewood from carpenter ants and termites as well. Talstar P is labeled to help control beetles, pillbugs, and many other pests. Please read the product label for complete application instructions.

    Q
    Can this be sprayed around the perimeter of a raised vegetable bed?
    I have some raised vegetable beds that have cockroaches living in the wood mulch and eating my strawberries. Can I spray this around the perimeter of the raised garden bed to treat any roaches moving in or out of the bed? I also plan on using food grade diatomaceous earth inside the bed, and am looking into bait stations as well. What is the best way to treat these?
    A

    Talstar P cannot be used on or around any type of edible vegetation. We do carry a full line of products that are labeled for use on edible plants which you can see here: Edible Garden Products. As for the diatomaceous earth that is fine as long as the product label states it can be used in that manner. For the bait, as long as you keep the bait contained in a station, you can use just about any type. Advion Cockroach Bait Arena is a great option. You just don't want it to come in contact with the vegetables.

    Q
    Spray on drywall?
    Is it safe to spray Talstar on the drywall around my interior windows? Ants have gotten in through some exterior gaps in the caulk, which I have since fixed, but now seem to be coming through a small gap in the trim around the interior window.
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide can not be applied to drywall. It can be applied indoors, in cracks and crevices only, such as baseboards and window/door frames. You may want to look over our Ant Control Guide for more information on treating this pest.

    Q
    Spongy moth caterpillars
    Hi! We have VERY tall oaks which we can’t reach foliage on. Will the application of Talstar to trunks kill small spongy moth caterpillars? Or must they ingest it by eating foliage we’ve sprayed?
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide will only affect the caterpillars that come in contact with the residual. If you cannot spray higher up where the caterpillars are, it will not affect them
