    Q
    Out side granules sprinkled around exterior of house for roach/bug contol
    Before I was using Do-it-yourself, I had an exterminator using granules (like fertilizer textur) which he sprinkled around the exterior perimeter of our house to kill roach/bugs, I did'nt get the brand name but it said L-2 and G-1. Do you know what type insecticide this is so I can buy from DIY. The previous company was Orkin, they went from using spray to granules around outside every 2 months. Thank You..

    Q
    What is the difference between Talstar XTRA and Talstar PL?
    A

    Talstar Xtra has an additional active ingredient, which is zeta-cypermethrin (they both contain bifenthrin). It also is less dusty and all the granules are uniform in size. Talstar PL granules are a sandy granule. They both cover a broad range of pests and can be used in your lawn, commercial areas and recreational areas.

    Q
    Talstar for roaches, or not?
    In this Q&A thread, you have what seems to be conflicting information. One person asks about "Best granules to stop roaches and scorpions" and the recommended product is Talstar XTRA. Another asks "Will Talstar Xtra repel roaches?", and the response is "Talstar Xtra will not repel roaches nor is it labeled for roach control. We recommend that you stick with a product that is labeled for roaches such as Demand G granules." Can you provide a little more information to help sort this out? Thank you!
    A
    Talstar Granules did have roaches on the product label at one time as an insect that it controlled. However, they removed roaches from the granule label because they found it wasn't as effective on roaches as they had previously thought. We recommend DeltaGard G Granules as this product is specifically labeled for cockroaches and works well at eliminating them in lawns and landscape areas.

    Q
    What can I put out to control mole crickets?
    A

    A great product to treat your lawn for mole crickets is Talstar XTRA Granules. When the mole crickets are small and young, they are much easier to control, but there will be little to no visible damage at this time. When damage is visible, usually in the spring, mole crickets are much larger and robust, which makes them harder to control. The best time to treat for moles crickets will be in the early life stages, when they are the most vulnerable. Take a look at our guide on How To Get Rid of Mole Crickets for lots of helpful information.

    Q
    Will Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide work with grasshoppers?
    A

    Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide might kill those grasshoppers that contact a treated area but it is not labeled for them so would not be recommended for control.  A liquid bifenthrin product would be a better option.  You should start applications before the grasshoppers have a chance to hatch. You should thoroughly spray your lawn and water in the application with about a .25 in of water to help the bifenthrin get past the thatch layer and into the soil where grass hoppers actually develop. If you already have grasshoppers you can use Talstar P at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per 1 gallon of water for the quickest knockdown.

    Q
    Are Talstar XTRA Granules the best treatment for about two acres of cleared woods for carpenter ants?
    They are making their way closer to the house. I have used the bait and dust and some spray on some of the nest, but there is so much area.

    Q
    Does Talstar XTRA Granules work for mosquito control?
    A

    No, Talstar XTRA Granules would not be effective for mosquito control. The adult mosquitoes actually hang out in trees and bushes and the larva develop in standing water. Talstar XTRA granules can only be used to treat lawns and soil for insect infestation. You can use Bifen IT which is the liquid formulation of Bifen to treat for adult mosquitoes. Mosquito larva can be eliminated with BTI Mosquito Dunks which can be placed directly into water sources such as ponds, unused pools and other areas of standing water.
