    Q
    What granular or dust product is most recommended for chigger control?
    I do have kids present in the backyard. I plan on treating only the mulched areas, not the entire turf area of the yard, plus an area where English Ivy forms as a groundcover.
    A
    Talstar PL granules is our most popular for chiggers.  It is also very safe.  You should water in the granules after application.  Kids and pets can reenter the treatment area after you have watered the product in and it has had time to dry.

    Q
    Is Talstar PL granules effective for cockroaches migrating from an infested home next door ?
    A
    Talstar PL granules are not labeled for cockroaches. We would recommend using Bifen IT. This product has the same active ingredient as Talstar PL, however the concentrate has more of the active ingredient in it and will combat the cockroaches effectively. It is a liquid and can be broadcast across your lawn. It can also be sprayed on trees (non-edibles), flowers, shrubs, etc. You will mix 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. One gallon will treat 1000 sq. ft. The residual outdoors is up to 30 days. Bifen IT can also be used indoors as a crack and crevice spray along the baseboards in your home. The residual indoors is up to 90 days. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Will Talstar PL Granules treat sod webworms?
    When I walk on my grass, moths come up everywhere!! Lots of them.
    A

    Talstar P Granules is a broad spectrum insecticide and would work well to treat the soil the sod webworms are nesting in. The label does not specify what stage of the webworm it treats. The key to Sod Webworm control is focusing on the larvae, therefore while Talstar P is a great product, depending on the severity of the damage, Provaunt WDG Insecticide might work better as its main focus is the larvae stage of worms and caterpillars.

    The larva feed mostly at night. Therefore, controlling sod webworms with chemicals successfully means spraying in late afternoon to ensure ingestion of the poison.

    For the moth stage, spraying Talstar P Liquid Insectide to plants, trees, bushes, shrubs, etc and focusing on the underside of the leaves will help with the moth control. 

    Please take a moment to review our How to Treat for Sod Webworm Treatment Guide.
