    Q
    I have 2 acres of property in Folsom, La. I want to spread with Talstar PL. Will this harm small animals?
    A
    Talstar Pl will not harm small animals. As long as animals and children are kept out of the area during the application and for about an hour following the watering in you should not have any issues with toxicity.

    Q
    My grass is grown from seed - what other comparable product might I use to control fleas?
    A
    Most insecticides will not interrupt the growth of grass so anything that is labeled for flea control should be just fine to use. Most insecticides do have a disclaimer not to use on grass grown for seed (not to be mistaken as grass grown from seed). Talstar PL would be a great choice.

    Q
    I have a Lesco commercial spreader. What setting should I set it on for a 0.2 application?
    A
    We are not famliar with that type of spreader since we do not sell it.  We would reccommend calling Lesco or you can try calling FMC (manufacturer of Talstar Granules) at 1-800-321-1362.

  • Asked by Juan
    08/23/2010
    Q
    I have dogs, cats and frogs. What can I use for the frogs?
    A

    There are no toxic products labeled for frogs or toads (or reptiles for that matter), and given the highly beneficial nature of these amphibians there is not likely to be anything coming along.The reasons they are on your property are because they can find food and proper habitat, and these are probably your only means for making them go away. Take away their food and they will forage somewhere else. Take away the conditions they need for hiding all day and they will seek refuge someplace else.

    Habitat modification may be the more effective way to limit frogs on your property. Frogs are mainly nocturnal, and they seek food at night when it is cooler and damper. During the day they look for cool, damp, dark places to hide. They will hide under dense shrubbery or ground covers, under logs or lumber on the soil, or under large landscape rocks and timbers to avoid the hot, dry sun. Trim shrubbery, remove thick ground-cover, stack lumber or firewood off of the soil a few inches and remove any other objects or debris that come in contact with the soil and can provide harborage. Limit watering to help eliminate moisture from your yard.  You can also reduce the amount of insects (the frogs food source) in your yard by treating the grass with a residual insecticide such as Talstar PL.

    Q
    Should we spread Talstar before new sod is put down (dirt) or after?
    A

    Talstar PL Granlues will not have any effect on the rooting or health of your sod and may be applied either prior to or following the laying of sod. We would recommend that you read over the product label for complete use instructions for your target pest.

  • Asked by Sherry from Poquoson, Virginia
    03/04/2012
    Q
    Is the Talstar PL Granules safe on newer lawns?
    We seeded last Fall, we were a little late, most seeds germinated but not all.
    A
    Talstar PL is an insecticide, not a pre-emergent or herbicide, so it has no effect on germinating grass or turf whatsoever.  It will not harm, inhibit, or promote any kind of growth in turf grass, it is strictly formulated to kill insects and that's it.  So there are no issues at all with using it on your grass.

  • Asked by Paul
    03/17/2011
    Q
    Would Talstar PL Granules be any help of ridding my yard of a type of beetle, common name of "Devil's Coach Horse"?
    They are about 1 1/2 inches long and they do fly and bite. They raise their tail section as a defense.
    A
    The Devils Coach Horse Beetle only has a very short range in the US and they are known to be a mainly beneficial insect so you will not be able to find an insecticide that is labeled for them. Talstar PL Granules are labeled for the really hard to kill insects such as scorpions and centipedes so it may work for the Devils Coach Horse beetle.

    07/04/2019
    Q
    Can Talstar PL Granular Insecticide be used for flea control?
    A

    Granule products like Talstar PL Granular Insecticide will only control the young stages of fleas really as these are the ones in the soil.  For adult flea control, it is recommended to use sprays such as those in our Outdoor Tick/Flea Kit.  We also have a great flea control article here.

  • Asked by Furmom from Mary Esther, Fl
    07/08/2018
    Q
    What is the pet safety when using Talstar PL Granules?
    I understand that it is safe for our dog once watered in and the area has dried. However, what about when the lawn is wet again in the future? Can our dog only enter our yard when it is dry?
    A

    As you mentioned, once the Talstar PL Granules have been watered in and have dried, it is safe for the pets to resume normal activity in the yard. Ideally, you want 6 hours after it has dried before any rain or irrigation occurs to allow the product plenty of time to stick in its place in the lawn. After that point any watering, rain or other form of irrigation will not “re-activate” the granules to make it unsafe for the pet. They can safely walk across the lawn with dew or rain after that time frame.
