  • Asked by Matan from Va
    04/15/2021
    Q
    Is 4 oz of Talstar P Professional Insecticide to 4 gallons of water a good mix rate for outdoor fleas?
    A

    The label advised not to exceed one ounce per one gallon of water. Talstar P is long lasting and generally does not need to be applied more than once every few months. It should not be reapplied more than once every 7 days. After your first application if you are still seeing a heavy infestation you can reapply another application.
    Please refer to product label for correct instructions. If your mixing rate is not per label instructions it may become ineffective.

    Q
    Is Talstar P good for brown dog ticks?
    Does this product work well for brown dog tick infestations inside and outside? How often should it be applied?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for ticks, however we would recommend you use our Outdoor/Indoor Flea and Tick Kit for the issue that you are asking about. This kit would include everything that is needed to treat both indoors and outdoors for a ticks infestation. 

    Please see out Treatment Guide for more information on how to get rid of ticks.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used with an IGR?
    Wooded 5 acre lawn surrounded by cattle ranch. Ticks and fleas major issue. Have both dogs and cats who roam - ie bring the beasties home. Animals treated heavily, what to do for yard? need good residual and rain resistance.
    A
    Talstar P can be applied with an IGR (insect growth regulator). It is safe for pets as long as they remain out of the area during treatment and return only when the surfaces have dried completely. It should not be applied where there are grazing animals such as cattle. It is labeled for ticks and fleas outside and offers a 30 day outdoor residual.
    For best results, allow 24 hours after outdoor application before expected rainfall.

    Q
    I am spraying my backyard to kill fleas, and I live in humid region. I am concerned about Talstar drying.
    I have several dogs, and I a want to spray in the evening when they are inside, however I am concerned about the humidity not allowing the spray to dry before morning. I also wanted to know if the morning condesation will be an issue? Is the morning or the afternoon better for a humid climate?
    A
    Talstar P is a water based product that dries just as fast as water alone would dry.  Spraying in the afternoon would be best to allow the product to dry better.  The morning condesation should not be an issue as once Talstar dries it will stay on the surface pretty well.  You would apply once a month keeping pets out of the area.

    Q
    When can I apply Talstar P for mosquitoes?
    I sprayed CY Kick CS & Nyguard yesterday for ants, ticks, fleas, and spiders. Can I apply Talstar P for mosquitoes? Is there one product that would address all of these effectively?
    A
    Both Cykick and Talstar will kill most common pest including Mosquitoes. The biggest difference is that Cykick is Microencapsulated and may take longer to kill the pest, Talstar will kill more quickly.

    Q
    What can can be used in a Dial-A-Sprayer to control sod webworms, fleas, and ticks for my lawn? I have 1.2 acres to treat.
    A
    Talstar P would be a great choice for you. Talstar P is labeled for sod webworms, fleas and ticks and can be used on your lawn in a hose end sprayer or a hand pump sprayer. Be sure to read the Talstar P product label for application instructions as the applications can vary according to the pest you are treating.

  • 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 Allen from College Station, Tx
    04/03/2013
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P and Permethrin SFR together in a hose end sprayer and apply at the same time?
    I already have Permethrin SFR but after reading on your Q&A site that the residual effect for mosquitos is better with Talstar P which I ordered some from you today. Just want to know if I can use both at the same time or is that overkill. Mainly using on my lawn to kill flying insects, ticks, fleas, and ants.
    A
    We do not recommend that you mix these products together as they are both synthetic pyrethroids and it would be like doubling the usage rate of each product. Just using the Talstar P for mosquito control will work very well. We recommend using 1fl oz per gallon of water for best results.
