    Q
    Will Talstar PL granules control/eliminate night crawlers and grubs from my lawn?
    A
    Talstar PL granules are not labeled for grubs or for night crawlers. We carry three granule products that are labeled for grubs, Dylox 6.2, Merit Granules and Demand G. Dylox 6.2 is known to be one of the fastest acting granule products for grub control. Night crawlers are a type of earthworm and earthworms are highly beneficial creatures and you will not find a product on the market that is labeled to eliminate them.

    Q
    Will Talstar PL Granules work on crane flies? When is the best time to apply?
    A

    Yes, Talstar PL granules are labeled for crane flies. According to the product label, it should be used early to mid-season to control the larvae of crane flies. This application should be made between August-February during times when the ground is not frozen as they feed on plant crowns. If treatments are made in March-April, they may only provide suppression. Consult your local extensions agent for specific recommendations for your area.

    Q
    Will Talstar PL granular insecticide harm my yard snakes I like to keep around?
    A

    As long as the reptiles are out of the area while you are doing the actual application of the Talstar and until it is watered in and dry, it shouldn't effect them. You will most likely see a reduction in the reptile populations on your property though as you will be eliminating their food source (insects). Take precaution not to apply to areas with pet snakes.

    I have a 3 acres of lawn. How many bags of Talstar PL will I need?

    Depending on the insect you are treating, one 25LB of Talstar PL Granules will treat approximately  5,000-10,000 square feet. Please read the product label to determine the usage rate for the insects you are trying to eliminate. It would take approximately 14-26 bags to treat three acres depending on the insect.

    Q
    If I put Talstar PL Granules over mulch, will it give me the same result?
    A

    If you apply Talstar PL Granules over mulch it can work for pests that crawl over those areas. For a more effective treatment though, we would recommend moving the mulch and applying the granules in that area, that way pests that like moisture and usually hide under mulch like centipedes, millipedes, silverfish, etc. can come in contact with the residual.

    Q
    Is it okay to mix these two granuals together...Talstar PL and Niban for pest control on yards?
    I have an old school tech that refuses to use one or the other pest granuals...he mixes the two together. I am thinking that the Talstar is a repliant and the Niban is more like a bait. Can you help me with this...need to understand the two products.
    A
    You are absolutely correct. By mixing the 2 products together you are costing yourself money because you are wasting the Niban completely. Using the 2 products together would be the equivalent of someone putting a steak in front of you to eat, but then covering it in bleach prior to you eating it, wouldn't be very inticing would it? Also, the Niban is a bait that although is designed to hold up to some outdoor elements better than other baits, you are still immediately lowering its attractivness as you have to water in the Talstar Granules to activate them. If there is an insect population around that would require a bait be taken back to the colony then the Niban should be used first, let it do its job, then once the population has been taken care of use the Talstar in a follow up treatment to help keep the insects away.

    Q
    How long does it take for Talstar PL granules to work?
    We laid down the product for serious ant problems almost 48 hours ago. We're still seeing them running around outside. Is this normal?
    A
    Talstar PL granules needs to be watered in to be activated after it has been broadcast across the area, if this has not already been done. Depending on the severity of the ants will depend on how long it takes. It could possibly take 2-3 weeks for full control. The product will last in the soil for 2-3 months.
