Q

How long after I spray Talstar P/Archer IGR will I start seeing fewer mosquitoes? I am using a backpack mister.

A

This will depend on how large the population is in the area. For a faster knockdown, you can add a contact killing product such as ExciteR Insecticide. Please be sure to review the product label for more information.

No, Talstar P (Talstar One) is not labeled for moles or grubs and most likely will not provide satisfactory results when used to control them. We do have 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. In many parts of the country, the grubs are already matured and they are emerging as adult beetles.

Q

How to apply Talstar P to treat chiggers?
I use talstar in a mist blower for treating mosquitoes and ticks. A customer asked me to treat chiggers as well and I know talstar is effective in killing them. Can I use the mist blower with talstar at a rate if 1oz per gallon to kill chiggers in the lawn or is there a different application method that would be more effective? Also, what would be the application frequency to achieve control of this pest?

A

Talstar P is labeled for chiggers outdoors at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft with a pump sprayer every 30 days. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit b…

Talstar P is labeled for chiggers outdoors at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft with a pump sprayer every 30 days. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge.

Talstar P Professional Insecticide is our most popular selling product for mosquito control. It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a one gallon hand pump sprayer. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio you are trying to provide relief at. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out. It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control. Best of all it will not harm any birds in the area.
