    Q
    How much Talstar P should you mix to spray in your lawn?
    What is the recommended mixture for lawn pests, such as mole crickets??

    You will mix 1 fl. oz. of Talstar P (Talstar One) per gallon of water for general pest control. For mole crickets, applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with at least 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the lawn is not moist before treatment, it is recommended that you irrigate the lawn to bring the mole crickets to the surface.  Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Should Talstar PL be used in an enclosed office with no windows, just air condition vents?
    A

    When applying Talstar P, as long as the area has had time to dry, there should not be any concern. Rooms should remain vacant until the product has had time to dry. Talstar P is ok to use as crack and crevice treatment along baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas.

    09/13/2014
    Q
    Do I open both caps and seals? Do I squeeze the container to get the solution to the measuring chamber?
    A
    Yes, to utilize the Talstar P bottle, you will need to remove both caps and both seals below the caps if there are some there. (some products come with them, some don't) Once that process is finished, replace the cap over the larger portion of the bottle and then squeeze the bottle itself. This will cause the solution to run up the straw like tube on the side of the bottle and into the measuring reservoir for you to know exactly how much you need per gallon of water.

    09/15/2014
    Q
    Is the residual harmful to humans?
    If Talstar works by creating a residual that the bugs come in contact with and eventually die, won't that same residual, for example, if applied to a fence that my young kids touch, negatively affect them? Yes, I already understand that it is odorless and clear, but I was thinking about the residual and how it must also be absorbed by humans when they touch the same sprayed surfaces over the subsequent 3 month before reapplying.
    A
    No, Talstar P (Talstar One) is not harmful to humans if they come in contact with it after it is dry. It will not affect children if they touch the fence because it is none irritating if it touches the skin. It is recommended for children to not be in the area until the product is completely dry. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    A
    Talstar P is labeled for crickets and can be used inside and outside the home. Indoors as a crack and crevice treatment it provides a 90 day residual. When Talstar P is applied outdoors as a perimeter treatment or as a broadcast treatment, it will leave a 30 day residual. Talstar P is labeled for over 75 types of insects and is a great product for general pest control.

    Q
    Talstar for winter moths
    I would like to spray my own property to deal with mainly winter moth but also Japanese beetles and aphids. Should a respirator be worn and is full body suit needed? Also, I am looking for suggestion on an affordable pump/sprayer setup. I'm sure the setups to get 80-100 feet up are way too expensive but maybe something to do 40-60 feet up using a 55 gallon drum.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is labeled for moths and beetles. It is not labeled for aphids.

    We would recommend using Demand CS. It is labeled for moths, adult Japanese beetles and aphids. This can be sprayed on ornamental plants and across your lawn. Use 1.5 – 5 fl. oz (44-148 mL) / 100 gallons of water – May be applied at 7-day intervals if necessary. Use lower dilution rates for more frequent applications or limit to spot treatment. The addition of a spreader sticker may increase application to waxy foliage. It can also be used indoors as well. You will use 0.4 fl. oz. per gallon of water. You will spray along the baseboards and cracks and crevices.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    What is the best product for yellow jackets and hornets?
    I saw my old pest company use Talstar on them but I didn't think that was the most effective product available
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is a wonderful general pesticide. It is labeled to be used on yellow jackets and hornets. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Applications should be done at night when the pests are alight. Spray heavily in areas where they hide and breed. Apply again only if there is new insect activity. This would be an excellent residual product for the yellow jackets and hornets.

    If you know where the nests are and can readily reach them, we would recommend using Wasp-X. This product can be used up to 15 feet away from the nest. This product will foam and cover the nest. It will provide a knockdown and fast kill of hornets and yellow jackets.

    Q
    How to get rid of gnats in house
    They are in kitchen and living room
    A
    First, be sure to check any house plants for larvae. If you have nouse plants, be sure to let the soil dry up a bit. You can use 565 Plus to flush out any areas like cracks and crevices they could be breeding in. The Flyweb Flylight is also a key component to catching the ones fliying around.

    Q
    Professional sprayed Talstar P in florida room along baseboards and windows.
    I had a carpenter ant problem in my florida room ceiling. Pest control guy sprayed all along the windows and baseboard. Before he sprayed I told him I had an infant that would be crawling in that room. I was very nervous, but he said not to be concerned, once the product dries. He made me feel like a weirdo. I waited a good month before I let anyone enter the room. I wanted to shampoo the carpets, because I am sure his sprayer got spray on the edge of carpet/baseboard. I called a few companies and they said if I shampooed the carpets the product would be useless. So, I never did. I did however, wipe the baseboards and doors. As a worried parent, is my child safe? We have to walk through this room to get in our back yard. She has already been crawling on the floor and probably have put her hands in her mouth afterwards. After a little research of half lives, it seems talspar p lasts a long time. So I am worried that there was a residual on the carpet, she touched it, than put fingers in her mouth. Please, any info will be greatly appreciated.
    A
    Talstar P is labeled to be pet and child safe once dry and one of our most popular general insecticides for inhome use. When Talstar P is applied as a crack and crevice treatment along baseboards, window frames and door entry points and had time enough time to dry, it will not pose any harm to human contact. This product is not labeled to be sprayed as a broadcast on carpeted areas inside the home, only applied as crack and crevice.  Talstar P does have a 90 day residual on the inside of the home, but if the areas where the product was applied has been wiped down with warm soapy water, the product has been removed and would not longer be effective.

  • Asked by Nicole from Orlando, Fl
    01/13/2015
    Q
    Can Talstar be used to get rid of ticks inside my home? I have small brown ticks crawling up the wall.
    Would I spray the entire carpet and let it dry?
    A
    Talstar is labeled for ticks and can be applied to indoor cracks and crevices only. It should NOT be applied as an open broadcast on the floor surfaces. How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Typically, it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 1 oz Talstar of product per gallon of water until you do not see any ticks.

    Q
    How to eliminate mole crickets in a California lawn?
    A
    We would recommend using Talstar P.  You would us 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water. Use 2 gallons of solution/1000 square feet, immediate irrigation of treated area with at least 0.25 inches of water following application to ensure efficacy of sub-surface pests such as,

    but not limited to, Mole Crickets, is recommended. 

    Mole Cricket adults: Achieving acceptable control of adult mole crickets is difficult because preferred grass areas are subject to continuous invasion during the early spring by this extremely active stage. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized. Grass areas that receive pressure from adult mole crickets should be treated at peak egg hatch to ensure optimum control of subsequent nymph populations (see below).


    Mole Cricket nymphs: Grass areas that received intense adult mole cricket pressure in the spring should be treated immediately prior to peak egg hatch. Optimal control is achieved at this time because young nymphs are more susceptible to insecticides and they are located near the soil surface where the insecticide is most concentrated. Control of larger, more damaging, nymphs later in the year may require both higher application rates and more frequent applications to maintain acceptable control. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized

    Q
    Would Talstar P be effective in killing a small colony of bees? I can't afford professional removal of them.
    A
    Talstar P (Talstar One) is toxic to bees. We have had good success with using Tempo 1% dust to kill small bee colonies.  We like dusting because the dust will get deep into the nest.

    Q
    Can you explain how Talstar P (Talstar One) is a repellant?
    Can you explain how this is a repellant? I am assuming this is inferior to Dominion for Carp ants since there is no transfer and only direct contact?
    A
     Talstar P (Talstar One) uses an active ingredient that has been proven to show repellent tendencies. You would not want to apply over top Dominion.
