  • Asked by George from Chatsworth, Ca 91311
    08/08/2013
    Q
    Hi, I live in Southern California. For the last two years, our back yard has been overrun by black widows..
    A
    Talstar P is specifically labeled (page 4 of the product label) for a number of medically significant spiders including Black Widow, Brown Recluse and Hobo Spiders. It is important to remember that Talstar P does not give an immediate knockdown. It works over a period of several hours to kill spiders that have come into contact with the product.  You should also do your part by making your property less favorable to spiders. Please take a few minutes to read our article Integrated Pest Management to learn more

    08/12/2013
    Q
    Does Talstar P come in a smaller bottle?
    Is it possible to get it in a smaller quantity? It will work perfectly for us here in Washington state (flea's and spiders) but it's a bit pricey because it's such a big bottle.
    A
    The Talstar comes in 4 sizes and you did not mention which size you are seeing on our site. You can purchase it in either a Pint, Quart, 3/4 Gallon or Gallon size container. You can see all 4 sizes and prices on the Talstar P product page. The smallest you can get this product in is the pint size. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Janie from Springfield Mo.
    08/20/2013
    Q
    How long will Talstar P remain effective once I have mixed up a batch of it in the sprayer bottle?
    I am also wondering if I can add some garlic oil concentrate to the Talstar without hurting it's effectiveness. Trying to get rid of mosquitoes in the yard.
    A
    We recommend to use mixed solution within 24 hours of mixing. To ensure maximum effectiveness. We are not familiar with garlic oil extract. We would recommend mixing ExciteR in with Talstar to help provide a more swift intense kill.

    Q
    I applied Talstar on the my shed and the paper wasps did not die after contacting the treated areas.

    Paper wasps and other insects will not be eradicated on contact when coming into contact with areas treated with Talstar. It does taken some time for the insects to die. Please click on the link below for additional information on treatment for paper wasps.

  • Asked by Dave from Bradenton
    08/26/2013
    Q
    I didn't water before applying Talstar, what should i do?
    I failed to first irrigate BEFORE applying Talstar. Should I do it now (afterward) or should I redo the treatment (this time following the directions!). Thanks!
    A
    Depending on the insect you are treating for some you should irrigate before treatment and some you shouldnt. If it's a lawn infesting pest like mole crickets or chinch bugs, it helps get the product to the level of the insects in the lawn by irrigating first to pull them closer to the surface. Since you will have to do a retreatment in a few weeks anyways, just let the application you put down do its job and irrigate before your next treatment. Irrigating after spraying will only wash the product away. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used to spray under homes/buildings for flea infestation?
    I have a flea infestation in my yard and under my home. The fleas are now coming into my home. Should I spray in the afternoon or early in the morning when the dew is still fresh?
    A
    Yes, you can use Talstar p, but we also recommend using an IGR like Nyguard IGR that will help to break down the reproductive process. You want to make your application when the grass is wet. Please review our Flea Control page as well.

  • Asked by Tyler from Appling, Ga
    09/10/2013
    Q
    Do you have anything that works on Argentina ants?
    A
    We have many products that will work great on Argentine ants. We normally recommend if they are coming inside your home to use our Complete Ant Kit. This provides both a protein(granular) and sugar(gel) bait for the ants to find when foraging that they take back and feed to the colony to eliminate it at the source. Once they are no longer in the home and the colony is all gone, you can use the Talstar as a general barrier and lawn spray to keep any new ones from congregating or coming in the home. If you do not currently have them in your home and just outdoors, you can use the Talstar to keep them from coming in and any area you spray that an ant comes into contact with will kill them. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Jay from Philadelphia, Pa
    09/23/2013
    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied using a pressure washing system rather than a misting backpack sprayer?
    A
    We recommend using the 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water ratio for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. As for using it in the pressure washer, we really cannot give any advice on that type of application as most insecticide (if not all) are not labeled for use in pressure washer.

    Q
    Bug poison for yards.
    I am looking for a granular ant/roach/arachnid poison that is dog safe. I am probably asking for to much.
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar P, which would be a better product for trying to control spiders and the prey they feed on.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  Children and pets should be out of the area while you are applying the product until it dries.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests. Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules.

    Q
    I live in CA and I have roaches, earwigs and some spiders.
    I'm looking for a good all around spray to use on the outside of the house and perimeter of the yard. I do have dogs that can be put indoors for a short time to do the spray and let it dry. Also, I have small kids with lots of toys and swing in yard.
    A
    We would recommend that you treat in and out of your home with Talstar. It can be applied along the baseboards inside once every three months and outside monthly. You will mix 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. It is labeled to treat roaches, earwigs, spiders and many more. It is safe for children and pets when dry. We do not recommend spraying the outdoor toys and swings that the children play with.
