    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
    What product can I use in my crankout windows to kill and repel wasps from building their nests?
    90% of the windows in our house are used for nesting. When I open the windows (even with screens) grass and other debris come falling in.
    A
    Talstar P would be a great option to kill and repel wasps from building their nest around window frames. Simply mix 1 oz of Talstar with 1 gllon of water and spray on the exterior of window frames.

    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.

    Grasshopper control

    Talstar P cannot be used on any type of edible vegetation. Cyonara Lawn Yard and Garden would be labeled to do so and to treat grasshoppers.

  • Asked by Jim from United States
    05/12/2015
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with Image in a single application?
    A
    Talstar P can be mixed with Image, if you do the tank mix test.  Any tank mixture which has not been previously tested should be prepared on a small scale (pint or quart jar), using the proper proportions of pesticides and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. The following procedure is recommended for preparation of a new tank mix, unless specified otherwise in label directions: (1) Add wettable powders to tank water, (2) Agitate, (3) Add liquids and flowables, (4) Agitate, (5) Add emulsifiable concentrates, and (6) Agitate. If a mixture is found to be incompatible following this the volume of water. Note: If the tank-mixture is found to be compatible after increasing the amount of water, then the sprayer will need to be recalibrated for a higher volume application. Do not allow the mixture to stand over night.

    Q
    Where in Rhode Island can buy Talstar P? Does it work on web worm and what month of the year is the best time of to apply and what time of day?
    A
    Talstar P can be applied to the lawn once a month for treating sod webworms. We are not aware of any local stores in your state that carry the product as it is a professional strength product sold online by retail distributors such as ours. We also offer free shipping.
    Time applications to control young larvae, if possible. Spot treatments may be applied when infestations are first detected and the damaged area is small. The treatment will be most effective if applied in the early evening when larvae begin feeding. Please check with your local cooperative extension office to see if a second generation is possible in one season in your region.

    Q
    Can you compare Talstar P to Essentria IC3? Does it kill carpenter ants and mosquitoes? Similar pricing?
    A
    Talstar P is a water based synthetic pyrethroid and Essentria IC3 is a natural product made up of botanical oils. They contain different active ingredients. They are listed for some of the same insects including ants and mosquitoes. They both have the same length of residual after applied. Essentria IC3 can be applied near water areas without harming aquatic life and Talstar P should NOT be applied to those areas. Talstar is offered in a pint, quart, 3/4 gallon and gallon concentrated bottles and diluted at an ounce per gallon of water. Essentria IC3 is available in a quart and gallon size and you will mix 1-10 oz per gallon of water depending on the insect targeted.

    Q
    Is there any benefit to mixing Talstar one with Essentria IC3
    I like the smell of the IC3 eccentra . I also think it works very well just doesn't last long
    A
    You would not want to mix IC3 with Talstar. IC3 could make Talstar have a repellency to it that you do not want. You want the insect to travel through the treated areas and kill them.

    Q
    What would work on sand flies?
    A

    These insects do not truly infest a home as they do not reproduce in the indoor environment, but they may still be abundant inside if their breeding site is close by. Unfortunately, the breeding sites for these flies are so numerous and varied, it is impossible to eliminate them all. These tiny pests are small enough to crawl through the average window screen and fit through cracks and crevices around windows and door frames.

    You can help prevent these flies from entering your home by spraying a barrier application of Talstar P paying special attention to window frames, window screens, door frames, and cracks and crevices that may be used as points of entry.  A screen with a very fine mesh (smaller than 16mesh) will help prevent entry. Additionally it may be helpful to keep ceiling fans and window fans on at high speeds to keep insects out of small areas.

    If flies have already entered your home and you need immediate control use Microcare. This product offers a fast knockdown and kill of flying insects, giving you immediate relief.

    Q
    What metering rate should I set my blower at for Talstar P?
    I have a Stihl SR450 blower and can change the metering rate. I have read the directions and i can't find any information.
    A
    As long as you are using the Talstar at the proper dilution rate in the tank the metering rate should just be dependent on how quick you are walking during the application. We do not carry Stihl blowers to give you an exact answer, however on our Solo 451 Blower we suggest out of a metering rate of 1-4 to normally put it on 2 for a normal pace during application.
