    Q
    Should I spray the outside of the house as recommended with Talstar P in conjunction with another product for mosquitoes?
    Or is Talstar P enough? I don't live close to water, but the mosquitoes are horrible.
    A
    Talstar P is a recommended product for mosquito control. You will need to spray more than just the outside of your home though. You will need to spray the underside of the leaves on trees and bushes nearby as that is where the mosquitoes spend the heat of the day. We have also had good reviews from people who sprayed a 2 foot band around the perimeter of their property.

    Q
    I am painting the outside of my house, can I mix Talstar with the paint before applying?
    A
    We do not recommend mixing Talstar P with paint for application. It can be applied after the paint has dried. It does not stain and holds up will with rain for surface applications.

    If the exterior of house is sprayed with Talstar, can you paint over it without the paint peeling?
    Or does it need to be washed off before painting?

    If you apply paint over Talstar P it should not peel. This may depend on what the paint is made of. Please contact FMC at 800-321-1362.

    Q
    What product is best to use in a Spider-B-Gone misting system at my lake house?
    I want to control spiders and insects at the top of my exterior walls. I have been switching between Riptide 5.0% ULV and Pyranha 1-10 PX
    A
    We are not familiar with that misting system. Talstar is a great product to use in a misting sprayer. Riptide and Pyrahna are still top choices for misting systems.

  • Asked by Moses from Miami, Florida
    07/17/2012
    Q
    In what proportion do I mix Talstar P for spraying in the house? And also in the Yard?
    A
    The Talstar P product label allows you to use 1/4 fl oz - 1 fl oz per gallon of water for indoor and outdoor spraying. We recommend using the 1 fl oz per gallon of water usage rate for the fastest knockdown and longest lasting residual. Please refer to the Talstar P product label for complete usage instructions.

    Q
    Does new paint affect talstar p effectiveness in controlling wasps. House was painted the day after spraying
    A
    The new paint probably covered up the application of Talstar P. You will need to reapply Talstar for effective coverage.

    Q
    We have a sun conure (bird) in the house. How safe is Talstar P to use around him?
    We will be spraying the room he is in. We know he has to be removed when we spray, but how long before we can bring him back to that room safely.
    A
    Talstar P is very safe to use around children and pets once it is dry.  You are correct that you should remove the bird and any other animals and children from the room while you are performing the treatment.  Once the treatment is dry, which usually takes about 45 minutes, it is perfectly safe to place the bird and other pets back into the room.

  • Asked by Ray from Philadelphia, Pa

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P for Fleas?
    My mother in laws cat recently had fleas and now my "m.i.l" wants to treat the whole house for fleas.
    A
    Talstar p should not be used for indoor flea control because it is restricted to cracks and crevices indoors. Ultracide would be a much better choice for indoor flea control. It is our recommendation and industry standard that you vacuum immediately before the application of Ultracide and every day or every other day after the application for the next two weeks. Vacuums can physically remove a decent percentage of flea eggs that are in the carpet, along with much of the organic crud that the flea larvae feed on.  The vacuum will also stimulate the flea adults still in their pupa form to quickly emerge as the adult, and at this point perhaps be sucked up in the vacuum or exposed to the Ultraicde application.  After two weeks most infestations require that you do a second application of the Ultracide and continue with the vacuuming. You should use a product that is registered to use on your pets for fleas such as Frontline or Advantage. Talstar P can be used effectively outdoors for places where your pets may frequent and also moist shady areas where fleas are likely to develop. Treating outdoors will help prevent your pets from re-infesting your home.

  • Asked by Josh from Ga
    05/17/2017
    Q
    Can I use Talstar P in a hose end applicator to treat gnats or midges?
    We have a serious problem with gnats or midges.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) can be dispersed in a hose end applicator, hand pump or backpack sprayer for gnats/midges in the lawn. It is also great for treating spiders, centipedes, fire ants and many other insects. We recommend applying 1 oz per gallon of water  per 1,000 sq ft as a broadcast and the same rate per mound for drenching for fire ants. NyGuard IGR can be added to the Talstar P and water mix for impeding the reproductive cycle for listed pests. Please take a few minutes to review our treatment article/videos for other tips on a successful eradication program. Please let us know if you need anything else.
