    Q
    Can I use Talstar P on my carpet to kill fleas?
    A

    Talstar is not labeled for application to carpet and is not recommended for indoor flea control because it is restricted to cracks and crevices only indoors. Ultracide would be a much better choice for indoor flea control. It is our recommendation and industry standard that you vacuum immediately before the application of Ultracide and every day or every other day after the application for the next two weeks. Vacuums can physically remove a decent percentage of flea eggs that are in the carpet, along with much of the organic crud that the flea larvae feed on.  The vacuum will also stimulate the flea adults still in their pupa form to quickly emerge as the adult, and at this point perhaps be sucked up in the vacuum or exposed to the Ultraicde application.  After two weeks most infestations require that you do a second application of the Ultracide and continue with the vacuuming. You should use a product that is registered to use on your pets for fleas such as Frontline or Advantage. TalstarP can be used effectively outdoors for places where your pets may frequent and also moist shady areas where fleas are likely to develop. Treating outdoors will help prevent your pets from re-infesting your home.

    Q
    I have Mealybugs on my Hibiscus plants. How much Talstar Pshould I use in a 32 oz spray bottle?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) rate is 0.5 to 1.0 fl oz per gallon of water.  For smaller amounts of water such as a quart you would just use ¼ of that.  It must be applied in a pump sprayer to be used correctly not a trigger sprayer like a 409/Windex bottle.

    Q
    How effective is Talstar P against mosquitoes and how often do I treat?
    A

    Talstar works great for mosquito control. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or where you are trying to provide relief.  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 during the heat of the day. Talstar should be applied every 30 days for optimum control. When treating for mosquitoes we also recommend the use of an IGR like Tekko Pro. Tekko Pro IGR contains the active ingredient Pyridine that imitates a growth hormone and prevents full develop in immature mosquitoes.

    Q
    Can I use sticky boards outside for a million different insects
    A

    Glueboards would not be used outside as they are made with cardboard and glue that would not hold up to the eliminates.  Instead they would be used inside for monitoring and trapping and you can use a residual product such as Talstar P around the perimeter of the home for general pest control.

  • Asked by Lisa from Great Falls, Va
    07/25/2018
    Q
    Why is Talstar P (Talstar One) killing everything but gnats?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is labeled for gnat control. Be sure you are mixing at 1oz per gallon water. Are you seeing them indoors? If so, be sure to take any indoor plants out and let them dry. If having an issue outdoors, be sure you are focusing on areas that contain moisture and/or shade. Also, undersides of leaves on non-edible trees and shrubs. Keep in mind that part of the difficulty in handling flying insects is that you are relying on them to land on areas treated with the insecticide.

  • Asked by Tysen from Norwalk, Ct
    08/11/2018
    Q
    I have a 200 gallon tank. How many ounces per gallon of Talstar do I need for spraying ticks?
    A

    When using Talstar P for ticks in the lawn, the rate is 0.5 - 1.0 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. in at least 1 gallon of water.  So for 200 gallons, you would use 100-200 oz. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use higher spray volumes when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. Repeat application is necessary only if there are signs of renewed activity. Limit repeat application to no more than once per seven days

    Q
    Will Talstar help to stop TPPD (Texas Phoenix Palm Decline)?

    Talstar P is not labeled to treat TPPD. We recommend that you consult with your local cooperative extension office for recommendations on what would be appropriate to apply.  You can also find a great article here that might help.
