    Q
    Should I use Talstar or Termidor for carpenter ants?
    I have carpenter ants on the exterior of my house. I've seen them come out from under the cedar shake. Which product would be best to get red of these and how long does each product last? How long before rain should these products be applied?
    A

    Termidor SC around the perimeter of the home would be better than Talstar P.  Termidor will have transfer effect so can help to eliminate the entire colony whereas Talstar P will only kill the ants that contact a treated surface.  It can be applied twice a year or four times a year outside depending on the rate. This link can explain.

    Q
    We have a micro pig that eats grass is it safe to use Talstar Pro/Demon Max with pig
    In the past I have typically treated our home with Talstar Pro/ Demon Max if the pig eats grass treated by the product will it harm him
    A

    Neither the Talstar P or Demon Max are labeled to be used where animals would graze so we would not recommend applying it areas the micro pig could eat.  Instead we would recommend using something like Essentria All Purpose which is an all natural product that is OMRI approved and labeled for pastures and rangeland.

    Q
    I sprayed Talstar P for mosquitos, but will it also kill other bugs? Does the method of application affect what it kills?
    Orkin sprayed our yard for mosquitos with a backpack sprayer. I asked the technician what it kills and he said fleas, ticks and mosquitos. But the info I've found online says it kills so much more. He sprayed all over the grass and bushes.
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with (including fleas, ticks and mosquitos) and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets. A hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer would be the preferred, but the method of application will not determine the results of the product.

  • Asked by Toni from Port Saint Lucie, Florida

    Q
    What is the best outside treatment for my centipede problem?
    Of all the products that say they kill centipedes which works best for my whole yard. I have pest control come to treat inside my house. Im still getting tons of centipedes entering the house eventually dying.However my yard and driveway and front entrance is full of them where we do not treat I'm trying to take control of these darn things from entering the house. I figure now I need to treat our whole property. So which is the best product you sell.
    A

    Talstar P would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Indoors you can apply Talstar P to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive. 

    Remove Favorabe Conditions

    • Fix leaky faucets or pipes and dry up wet or damp areas where centipedes thrive
    • Remove outdoor harborages near the home that hold moisture (compost, wood, or leaf piles, etc).
    • Store firewood off the ground at least 20 feet away from the home
    • Water your lawn in the morning so that it will be dry by afternoon
    • Do not over mulch flower beds, since soggy mulch is an ideal harborage for centipedes

    Q
    Is there a Talstar available to licensed applicator?
    I am a new licensed applicator and best i can tell the general public can buy the same product, where is my advantage here? Do you have a rup they CAN NOT buy without a license! Please answer privately Thank you
    A

    There are various products that are not available to the general public depending on where they live. We are unsure of exactly what you are asking. These products can be purchased by homeowners, however, the advantage that you have over a homeowner is that they can spray only their home. You can legally spray for profit.

    05/12/2016
    Q
    What is the best product to prevent indoor insects?
    A

    As a general prevention for indoor and outdoor control Talstar P is one of the most trusted and widely-used insecticides by pest control professionals today. Talstar P has a long residual control. so it keeps on killings pest sfor over three moneths after you have sprayed it. We recommend to use 0.33 to1 fluid ounce per gallon of water to be applied either as a crack and crevice, pinstream, spot, coarse, low pressure spray of with a paint brush. You will want to limit repeat applications to no more than once per seven days.

    Q
    Will the Talstar P affect turtles?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is safe to use around animals as long as they are out of the area while you are spraying, they can return as soon as the area is dry. Although The Talstar P (Talstar One) is safe once it's dried, you do not want to apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and run-off from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.

  • Asked by Luis from El Paso
    06/08/2016
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with another insecticide like Suspend SC in one tank?
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Suspend SC and Talstar P together.  Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Suspend SC already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

    Q
    How long should I wait to mow my grass after I have sprayed Talstar P?
    I finished spraying my 4 acres yesterday and was wondering how soon I could mow the grass?
    A

    Per the Talstar Label, to ensure optimum control, delay watering (irrigation) or mowing for 24 hours after application. If the grass area is being maintained at a mowing height of greater than 1 inch, then higher application rates (Up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) may be required during periods of high pest pressure.

  • Asked by Pren from Kansas City
    06/13/2016
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with dawn soap for boxelder bugs?
    The dawn soap will breakdown the hard shell of the bugs body and then the Talstar P will kill them
    A

    Talstar P will do a great job for boxelder bugs! We do not recommend that you use soap with the Talstar P or any other insecticides. The Talstar P may be used to spray directly on the plant foliage and it can be used inside and outside of the home. Please take a moment to look at our "How to Get Rid of Boxelder Bugs" article for more detailed information about this type of pest.
