    Q
    Can this be sprayed around the perimeter of a raised vegetable bed?
    I have some raised vegetable beds that have cockroaches living in the wood mulch and eating my strawberries. Can I spray this around the perimeter of the raised garden bed to treat any roaches moving in or out of the bed? I also plan on using food grade diatomaceous earth inside the bed, and am looking into bait stations as well. What is the best way to treat these?
    A

    Talstar P cannot be used on or around any type of edible vegetation. We do carry a full line of products that are labeled for use on edible plants which you can see here: Edible Garden Products. As for the diatomaceous earth that is fine as long as the product label states it can be used in that manner. For the bait, as long as you keep the bait contained in a station, you can use just about any type. Advion Cockroach Bait Arena is a great option. You just don't want it to come in contact with the vegetables.

    Q
    Spray on drywall?
    Is it safe to spray Talstar on the drywall around my interior windows? Ants have gotten in through some exterior gaps in the caulk, which I have since fixed, but now seem to be coming through a small gap in the trim around the interior window.
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide can not be applied to drywall. It can be applied indoors, in cracks and crevices only, such as baseboards and window/door frames. You may want to look over our Ant Control Guide for more information on treating this pest.

    Q
    Spongy moth caterpillars
    Hi! We have VERY tall oaks which we can’t reach foliage on. Will the application of Talstar to trunks kill small spongy moth caterpillars? Or must they ingest it by eating foliage we’ve sprayed?
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide will only affect the caterpillars that come in contact with the residual. If you cannot spray higher up where the caterpillars are, it will not affect them

    Q
    How much coverage does one gallon do?
    We have ticks terribly and trying to figure out how much product to purchase to cover an acre.
    A
    The dilution rate for Talstar P is .5 - 1 oz. per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft.  Since you are treating an acre which is 43,560 sq. ft., you will need between approx. 21.5-43 oz. depending on which dilution rate you choose.

    Q
    Is Talstar P effective on Bat bugs?
    We will be removing bats in the attic so will need to spray after they are gone. The bats are in the attic. We don't want the Bugs to move into the living space below
    A

    Bat bugs are treated very similarly to bed bugs. Bats are their preferred host, but this does not negate them from humans. They do tend to come once the bats are gone because they are looking for a host. We would recommend using Temprid FX as a treatment for the rooms. You will mix 16 mL per gallon of water and treat in the room that has the bugs as well as all the surrounding rooms to prevent them from spreading. This will be applied with a pump sprayer. You will do this every 10-14 days until you do not see any activity for 30 days. We would also recommend using Cimexa Dust in the wall voids. You will do a couple of puffs per wall outlet and light plate with a hand duster. You will do this in all the wall voids of the home.

    Q
    Compare to dragnet
    How does this compare to Dragnet?
    A
    Talstar P is water-based, and will not stain most surfaces that water alone would not stain and low odor. It is one of the most popular products on the market for general pest control. Dragnet is oil-based and a bit pungent and can cause staining. Dragnet does offer a faster kill because the oil in the product does cause insects directly sprayed to suffocate.

    Q
    This product was used on a painted sign and it is kind of lifting off the color of the sign.
    Why would this happen? Could it be the age of the sign or the type of paint that was used? I am asking about this for a friend who is in the business.
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide  is a chemical so could have a reaction with the type of paint used on the sign. But there is really no way of knowing if it was the spray, paint, or age.  Also, Talstar is not labeled to be sprayed on signs.

    Q
    Will it hurt plants?
    A

    Talstar P is safe for use on most plants. Having said that we still recommend you test the product on just one or two plants before using it on all of the plants to test for damage as some plants can be more sensitive than others.

    Q
    Can Talstar be used on Colorado blue spruce Christmas tree trees for spider mites?
    A

    Yes, Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites and can be used on spruce trees. Talstar provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar.

    Q
    Can I use this on my log home??
    Can I spray this on my log home to help against carpenter bees and if so what kinda of sprayer would I use for the application?? Do I need a face mask and googles for applying product??
    A
    Talstar P is labeled for and will help eliminate bees. To use Talstar P for carpenter bee control you should mix 1 oz of Talstar per 1 gallon of water and spray the areas where you have noticed activity such as the eaves, fascia boards, mouldings, overhangs, or siding.   You can use any type of pump/tank sprayer to apply.  You can wear a mask and goggles if you feel safer doing so

     
    You should reapply the Talstar P once a month through the warm season for best results. Please note that Talstar P will not offer an instant knockdown of insects, it will take several minutes to a few hours for them to die after they come into contact with treated areas. We also recommend dusting the carpenter bee holes with a dust such as Tempo Dust to help kill any larva inside. Do not plug the holes for at least 30 days after dusting to prevent the developing larva from drilling a new whole to exit.
