    I'm looking for the most of effective way to treat ant piles that keep popping up across a large area of land.
    I currently spot treat the piles but they pop up over and over in different areas of the property. My previous order of Talstar-p from you has been a success so far for treating the perimeter of my residence.
    A
    You can use Talstar P as a broadcast over your entire lawn to help with ant contol at 1oz per gallon of water/1,000 sq ft. You can also use Tastar XTRA Granules as a broadcast over the entire lawn. A 25lb bag of the Talstar XTRA Granules will treat 5,000 to 10, 000 sq feet and can also be used as individual lawn treatments. The granules will last 2-4 months outside as a broadcast treatment.

    Q
    Would Talstar XTRA Granules be the best for yard treatment of scorpions or is another granule better?
    We are going to order Demand CS for the house now and also need something for the yard.
    A

    Demand CS can also be applied to the lawn for the listed insects on the products label. Or if you were interested in a granular, Talstar XTRA Granules are labeled to be broadcast on your lawn for scorpions.

    Q
    How does Talstar Xtra Granules work against chiggers?
    A
    Talstar Xtra granules is not labeled for control of chiggers and definitely would not be recommended for control of that pest. A much better option would be an insecticide like Onslaught Insecticide to be mixed with water and sprayed in the areas chiggers harbor around the property. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Onslaught to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.
