    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.

    Q
    I sprayed Talstar P for mosquitos, but will it also kill other bugs? Does the method of application affect what it kills?
    Orkin sprayed our yard for mosquitos with a backpack sprayer. I asked the technician what it kills and he said fleas, ticks and mosquitos. But the info I've found online says it kills so much more. He sprayed all over the grass and bushes.
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with (including fleas, ticks and mosquitos) and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets. A hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer would be the preferred, but the method of application will not determine the results of the product.

    Q
    Help, with outside pest control?
    I just bought 2 acres of heavily wooded property and where we live fleas, flies, ticks, snakes,mosquitoes and spiders are a problem basically everything crawly its the woods what can or should I spray outside to make sure my children don't get "eat up" by anything and everything the pest listed are some of mine main concerns
    A
    For the insect control we would recommend Talstar P. Talstar P is a Multi-Insecticide with bifenthrin is one of the most trusted and widely-used insecticides by pest control professionals today. The name Talstar P/Talstar One means one professional solution for everything: Talstar insecticide kills over 75 insect pests and can be used for indoor pest control, outdoor pest control, food handling areas, turf and ornamental treatments, in the yard as a yard spray to treat fleas or other yard pests, and even for termite control! Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it. Plus, Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall. For snake control we recommend using Snake away which is a repellent. Make sure though that you leave one side of the treated area open so that any snakes can leave the area you are treating.

    Q
    I want to use Talstar P to spray my lawn.
    I want to use it w/ an all purpose sprayer that you attach to a garden hose such as the Gilmour 362. Would this work? I am especially wanting to spray my front and back yard to guard against fleas, ticks, grubs and ants.
    A
    Talstar P will work in most hose end sprayers though a few folks have commented that the sprayer they used did get clogged because Talstar is a little bit thick. Talstar P is a great general use insecticide but it is not labeled to control grubs. Most general use insecticides do not control grubs.  For grub control you will need to use a product such as Dominion 2L that contains imidacloprid.

    Q
    What is the best product to treat 1 acre for mosquitoes, ticks and flea control that I can do myself?
    A

    An insecticide like Talstar P would be a great option for you for all of these pests, along with many others.  It is recommended to also use an insect growth regulator (IGR) like Archer IGR for fleas and ticks to stop them from reproducing.  Both of these products can be applied with a hand pump sprayer.  You may also want to look over our Pest Prevention Guide for more information.

    Q
    Can you mix Precor and Talstar P?
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide can be mixed with insect growth regulators such as Precor IGR.  Be aware though that Precor is only labeled for use indoors but Talstar cannot be used as a broadcast across surfaces inside the home such as carpets (it is only for cracks and crevices) so if you are treating for fleas it is not the best option as an insecticide.  Instead you should use something like Conquer or Onslaught.

    Q
    Talstar On Ortho hose end sprayer
    Can you please specify the correct setting to use on an Ortho hose end sprayer using Talstar P, and how far or how much to cover with that setting. I bought the product from DoMyOwnPestControl and have used it on a 2 gallons sprayer under a deck where the dogs stay the most time. I am still getting fleas and want to apply it on my lawn. I tried using it but did not seem to be absorbed good through the hose end sprayer, maybe because Talstar is too thick? Also, do I need to calcute how much water comes out of the sprayer ?? Thank you for your prompt attention.
    A
    You can use a hose end sprayer to apply the Talstar P, but we are not familiar with the Ortho model so we do not know what specifics to give you, we would recommend contacting that manufacturer directly for accurate setting instructions.  You want to dilute 1 fl oz Talstar P into one gallon of water. One gallon of mixed solution will treat approx. 1,000 square feet

    Q
    I need the strongest, easiest, most effective broad-spectrum insecticide for my yard.
    suburban, have dog. dallas Texas, must include fleas, chiggers, spiders, roaches, big ass tree roaches, beatles. if it crawls i want it gone. prefer something that i can spray on with a water hose to yard and outsise of home. that lasts. also need a strong weed killer to kill all tx weeds, but expecially these burr weeds ( look like clover but put out these non spikey, round burrs.) grass not an issue, plan to reseed. weeds cover 75% of yard anyway. a few trees i dont want hurt.
    A

    Talstar P would be your best general insecticide for your yard. It is labeled for just about any insect you could have a problem with including ants, roaches, beetles, mosquitoes, and many others. Talstar P can be used in a hose end sprayer but can be a little thick so may need a touch of water added to thin it a bit.

    If you are looking to get rid of the weeds and grass so you can reseed you should use a glyphosate product such as Glyphosel Pro. This is a non-selective herbicide that will kill the weeds and anything other foliage it is sprayed on. You can reseed after 14 days. Do not directly spray the trees or allow drift to get on the trees to avoid damage.
