    Q
    I used Talstar P Professional Insecticide to control fleas in my yard. I put K9 Advantix on my dogs but I still have a problem. Should I use an IGR?
    A

    Yes, although Talstar P Professional Insecticide will kill fleas, you still need to incorporate an IGR like Tekko Pro to break down the reproductive cycle. You can apply both at the same time.

    Q
    Why does the label say not to broadcast spray Talstar P indoors for fleas?
    A
    The manufacturer has created the product, performed the research and testing for Talstar P. We do not make the product labels or the products. For additional information on Talstar P, please contact FMC at 1-800-321-1362. We do carry some great liquid concentrates for indoor floor broadcast such as Onslaught, Conquer, Permethrin and Tengard. They can be mixed with Archer IGR or NyGuard IGR for indoor flea treatments along with vacuuming even on hard surface floors. A minimum of two treatments outside and inside every two weeks. Please contact us at 866.581.7378 if you would like more information on treating your home for fleas.

    Q
    What's a good second mode of action for Talstar?
    What would be a good second mode of action to tank mix with Talstar for outdoor/home perimeter application?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) alone is good for perimeter treatment of general pests.  For some pests you would benefit from mixing an IGR like Nyguard IGR with it.  This prevents young insects (such as fleas, roaches, mosquitoes) from maturing into reproducing adults.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P on the inside and outside of the home with an IGR for flea control?
    1 acre and 1/2 of land with also treating the inside of the house. I was looking at Talstar P and was going to add an IGR. Any recommendations?
    A
    Talstar P can be applied with an IGR such as Pivot 10 for outdoor flea control. For indoor flea we recommend applying a product such as Alpine Flea Insecticide with IGR because it can be broadcast inside the home and applied to furniture. It is recommended to make at least two applications indoors and outdoors two weeks apart. Each day during the course of the treatment, you will need to vacuum (even the hard surfaces) for the fastest elimination. Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.

    Q
    What granule or liquid can I use to get rid of lawn pests?
    Such as sod grub worms, chinch bugs, mosquitoes in the grass? Fleas and ticks as well. You can't enjoy being outside. I have a lawn sprinkler system.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) can be used for everything except grubs if you have those and not sod webworms.  For grubs you would need a product like Merit in granule or liquid form.  For mosquitoes the key is applying Talstar to the underside of leaves of trees and bushes.  For fleas and ticks as well as mosquitoes you can also add an insect growth regulator like Nyguard IGR.

    Q
    What does the term "space spray" mean?
    I bought Talstar P and read not to use as a space spray. I had fleas in my home and I sprayed all the floors in my home. Is space spraying an outdoor term or does it mean not to spray every space in your home?
    A
    Space spray refers to spraying the product into the air instead of directing the product onto a surface. The way you applied Talstar is called a broadcast spray and it is also prohibited by the Talstar P product label for indoor applications. Talstar P should only be used as a crack and crevice spray or spot spray (spot spaying means to make an application to an area that is less than 2 ft x 2 ft). We do carry products that are specifically formulated for fleas on indoor floors. Ultracide and Precor 2000 are always top choices for this type of application. If you prefer to use concentrates Onslaught and Permethrin SFR 36.8% are both labeled to be used indoors as a broadcast spray for flea infestations. We do recommend you add an insect growth regulator such as Precor IGR or Archer IGR to Onslaught or Permethrin SFR to help stop the breeding cycle of fleas while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. An IGR is already included in the aerosol products.

    Q
    I'm using Talstar P & Archer IGR on a small lawn. Do I wet lawn before or after for fleas?
    A

    You do not need to water the lawn before or after an application of Talstar P and Archer IGR for fleas according to the product label.  Just be sure you are using the correct amount of product per gallon of water/coverage area.
