    Q
    Can I use Talstar near/around my 1/2 acre fish pond?
    I don't want to have run off harm my bass and bream.
    A

    No, Talstar is not labeled to be used around ponds, lakes or other water sources. We recommend using EcoVia EC that is labeled for use and kills of a wide range of flying and crawling insects.

    EcoVia EC can safely be applied in and around homes, businesses, near and over water such as boat docks and pool areas without harming aquatic life, as well as numerous other areas. Please follow label instructions for your target pest and application.

  • Asked by Scott from Raleigh, Nc
    09/23/2016
    Q
    Will Talstar P control white flies in my bermudagrass?
    I use talstar in the mixture of 1 ounce per gallon, however this does not control the white flies living in my bermuda grass. I spray no more than once every 4 weeks depending on rainfall.
    A

    According to the Talstar P label to treat Whiteflies you may apply 1oz / gallon of water and repeat as necessary to maintain control. In addition to a foliar spray (Talstar P), using a systemic such as Adonis 2F to control whiteflies prooves to be effective.

  • Asked by Abigail from Arizona
    01/10/2017
    Q
    Is Talstar P the best spray to use along with a gel bait for roaches?
    A

    While Talstar P is labeled for roaches, it is not generally recommended as there can be resistancy issues within a roach population with a product like this. We would recommend using a product like Temprid SC instead. Temprid SC has two active ingredients in it to combat a roach infestations, and doesn't have the resistancy issues that a product with only one active ingredient might have.  You may want to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing roaches.

  • Asked by Robert from West Palm Beach, Florida
    01/26/2017
    Q
    I bought, Archer IGR, Nygard IGR and Talstar P. Can I mix these all together?
    A

    Depending on what you are treating for, you may definitely use the Talstar P and your choice of IGR with it. It is not necessary for you to mix two IGR's with the Talstar P.  Either NyGuard or Archer IGR and Talstar can be mixed into the same gallon of water and sprayed for control of Fleas, Stored Product Pests, listed Roaches (German, Asian, and Brown-banded), Crickets, Litter Beetles, and Flying Insects.

  • Asked by Rogger from Fresno, Ca
    03/13/2017
    Q
    I am looking for a better and more economical version of Ortho Home Defense, perhaps a concentrate that I mix. What do you have?
    A

    The best general pest control can depend on what region you are located in. One of the most popular general pest control products is Talstar P. Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for up to three months after you've applied it. It is also odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

  • Asked by Harry from Deland, Fl
    03/13/2017
    Q
    How can I get rid of fungus gnats in my yard?
    A

    Fungus gnats are usually found breeding in landscaped areas/lawns that are over-watered. You should be careful to let area dry out completely, which will kill any larvae in the soil.  You could also treat the area with something like Talstar P, which has great residual protection and also can be used for a wide variety of crawling pests and lawn and ornamental pests outside.  Gnats that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Talstar P will not repel the gnats from the area nor will it kill the gnats that do not land on the treated areas.  It is best to resolve the issues that are causing water to build in areas and provide a breeding site for them.

  • Asked by Pam from Clay. Kentucky
    04/08/2017
    Q
    Can I use Talstar or Capture safely in the soil around squash?
    Is it safe
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for use around edible plants, so we do not recommend using it around squash or other vegetables. Since we do not sell Capture, we cannot comment on the use of that product. We do sell many other insecticides that can be used around edible plants, which you can browse on our site here.

    Q
    Are there any issues mixing Talstar in a sprayer that has been used with weed killer before?

  • Asked by Dennis from Aiea, Hi
    05/11/2017
    Q
    How does Talstar enter the insect?
    Does it: 1) permeate the insects skin (by walking over it) or 2) must it be ingested by feeding or 3) by cleaning itself after walking over the treated area?
    A

    The active ingredient in Talstar is Bifenthrin, which works by interferring with the nervous system of insects when they eat or touch it after contacting a treated surface.  It works when they groom themselves they will ingest it.

  • Asked by Jordan from St Michael, Mn
    05/16/2017
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with TZone (weed killer) to apply at the same time?
    A

    Most insecticides and herbicides are able to be tank mixed together, just make sure you follow each product label instructions for "tank mixing" instructions. 

    Talstar P is able to be tank mixed according the label but since we do not carry T-Zone Weed Killer, we cannot confirm the tank mix compatability.
