  • Asked by Paul from Chicago,ill.

    Q
    Wasps in fascia of my home. Sprays don't work, should I fumigate attic? what product?
    A
    If you know where the nests are you can apply Tempo 1% dust. We recommned that you use a hand duster and apply a dust such as Tempo dust to the holes where the wasps are going in and out. The dust will help eliminate the wasps in the nest and any other wasps returning to the nest. Tempo dust will stay effective for several months as long as it is dry. We are not aware of a product that would eliminate the wasp pheromone to help stop wasps from returning to a particular area.  After dusting in the void where the wasps have a built a nest you can try spraying the siding with a product such as Talstar P. You can spray once a month and any wasp that lands on treated areas will be eliminated within about 24 hours which should stop new wasps from being able to build a nest.

    Q
    We are looking for a product that will kill fire ants in Florida and still be horse friendly we have about 7
    acres to be treated how much do i need?
    A
    Extinguish Plus is actually the product of choice in areas where horses may be kept or will be grazing (as long as the horses will not be used for feed or food). Extinguish Plus combines the power of hydramethylnon with an insect growth regulator (IGR) to kill fire ant workers and prevent queens from laying fertile eggs. The result is complete fire ant colony control. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is best used in the spring or early fall, or whenever fire ants are active. The ants will feed off Extinguish Plus and spread the bait throughout the entire colony, halting the infestation within weeks. You will need about 2 lbs per acre and you can purchase it in a 25 lb bag. Talstar cannot be used on areas where animlas will graze.

    Q
    Can i spray Talstar P on car seat to kill mite?
    When can i drive the car after spray? Safe for human when car is small,windows closed and air-cond on?
    A
    No. Talstar should not be applied to any seats or furniture. You should instead use a product such as Sterifab. Sterifab is safe to use on areas where you will come into skin contact such as a car seat.

  • Asked by Lue from Baltimore, Md
    04/10/2013
    Q
    Which to use first Termidor SC or Talstar P on my newly constructed home and barrier?
    I am considering using both Termador SC (because I had such great results with it in the past) as a protective barrier on my home. I also want to do a barrier with Talstar P because of all the other pests (mosquitos, roaches, stink bugs) that it treats. Which should I product use first? Should I wait a period of time before applying the other product? Will the products work adversely or well with each other? Thanks

  • Asked by James from Stuart, Florida
    04/15/2013
    Q
    Will Talstar P control hoosehold casebearers (Phereoeca uterella)?
    A
    When the larva or the moths make contact with areas that have been treated with Talstar P or Demand CS they will be killed by the dry residual. They must contact the treated area for any products to work. Typically a crack and crevice application of either product, lots of cleaning under furniture, appliances and under cabinets and lots of vacuuming will help eliminate these pests. Any wool items should be examined for damage and cleaned if needed.

    Q
    Can you spray trees in the early spring that have caterpillars in them?
    Would you be able to make a dilution to be used in a pressure washer to reach high trees?
    A
    You can start spraying when the caterpillars are young for best results. We recommend using the 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water ratio for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. As for using it in the pressure washer, we really cannot give any advice on that type of application as most insecticide (if not all) are not labeled for use in pressure washer.

    Q
    Looking for a DIY preventative pest control program.
    Pests seen in the past are silver fish and cock roaches.
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests.

    Q
    What to use to kill digger wasps that come in May and gone in June?
    They make many holes in the earth with mounds of soil around them in the lawn and garden. They do not seem to sting. They look like a small brown bee.
    A
    It sounds like they could possibly be Cicada Killers. To treat Cicada Killers, you can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps. For current infestations, you would need to use Delta dust in each individual burrow. Using a residual like Talstar P will also kill them when they come in contact with the treated areas.

    Q
    Should I use Talstar P to get rid of bird mites coming in through bathroom vent? I have removed the bird nest.
    I tried setting off a bugmax fogger and I still see them crawling around. I need help on what I should use to kill them asap...
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled to treat for mites in general and would not be recommended.  For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites.

    Q
    Can I mix Talstar with essentria ic3?
    A
    Both Talstar and Essentria IC3 are residual sprays. We do not see why you would need to mix them together. Depending on what you are treating, you can mix in an insect growth regulator with either talstar or Essentria.
