    Q
    Is Talstar P the best product for killing termites in and around a tree before cutting it down?
    I don't want termites heading for my house to find a new source of food when I cut down my tree.
    A

    First be sure to protect your biggest investment, your home. Put up a barrier using  Termidor SC. Please see our article on Barrier Treatments. For the tree, you can inject Dominion 2L.

    Q
    Will any of your products kill stink bugs?
    We have probably a hundred around our house. They are becoming a nuisance. I need a product that sprays a wide area (i.e. back, front porches) etc.
    A

    We have put together an Overwintering kit that is just for stink bugs. This kit includes Demon WP insecticide with Cypermethrin, Eco PCO dust and a hand duster for easy application. You should treat once a month through November for best results.

    Q
    I want to spray my own house for bugs. I live in Oklahoma City, and I used to pay a service to do it.
    They went out of business and I was forced to use Terminix. Well they suck. I just want to keep insects out of my house, but I don't know what to buy or how to apply. I have a small ant problem in one of the bedrooms as well. Any tips? Oh, I would also like to keep the flies down in the summer. Any suggestions for that? thanks,
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar. 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. 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. 
    Talstar P is labeled to help control many types of flies and can be applied to your lawn as well for them.
    You may be seeing ants in the bathrooms, because they are looking for water. Since ants can be quite fickle with the foods they are eating, we recommend the Complete Ant Kit. This kit combines both a sweet and protein based bait. Please also see Ant control article.

    No bugs seen at all yet but as prevention to roaches, ants, spiders etc. I'm totally new to this and would appreciate guidance. Also require pet and baby safe since I have 5 indoor cats and 3 dogs and a newborn. House is in nice well kept HOA and lawn gets treated also.

    One of our most populare product for overall control is Talstar P.  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 will last outdoors 1-2 months and indoors 3 months. Child and pet safe after the treated areas have dried. Dry time is approx one hour.

    Q
    Can I spray Talstar P on the wall of the home near an herb garden?
    The plants are about 1 foot away from the wall of the home and are trimmed so they do not touch the house.
    A

    You should not spray Talstar P (or allow drift of spray) to contact herbs or any other edibles.  If this is not possible, we would not recommend using it in this area.

  • Asked by M. from Greensboro Nc
    04/04/2018
    Q
    How effective is Talstar P against lawn ants and ground bees?
    Our lawn is infested with ants boring holes into the red clay soil. The small mounds are then taken over by ground bees for nesting.
    A

    Talstar can work great on ants and a variety of insects in the lawn, however the level of control you will see will depend on colony size and activity. You can use the Talstar to drench individual mounds to eliminate them quickly, and the spray the entire yard to help control any new activity that emerges over time. Ground bees are hard to control with sprays as they can often move between the blades of grass and directly into the holes without touching the leaf surface that contains the chemical. While tedious, the best way to eliminate a ground bee nest is to dust it with a product like Delta Dust which will get picked up on their bodies as they move in and out of the hole and get transferred to other bees. Dust in the late evening when they are less active and then give it at least a week or two for you to not see any more activity.

    Q
    What is the best chemical to spray outdoors n kill mosquitos?
    I am alrdy using Termidor around the perimeter of the house, so i am looking for another spray that can eliminate or minimize mosquitoes.
    A
    Talstar P is the premier product for controlling mosquitos. In addition to the treatment around the foundation of the home as mentioned above, spray Talstar P on the underside of leaves on the lower-hanging branches of trees around the backyard or area where mosquitoes are a problem.  You can also spray the underside of leaves on shrubs and ornamentals.

  • Asked by Darrell
    05/04/2010
    Q
    Is Talstar P safe to use around pets such as dogs and puppies?
    Will it kill off scorpions inside the house? Is there a better product for scorpions that is safe for indoor pets?
    A

    Yes. Talstar P can be safely used around pets as long as you follow the label instructions; all pets need to be out of the area while application is being made and they can return as soon as the application is dry. Talstar P will kill scorpions indoors and outdoors, but our most popular scorpion products are Demon WP and Cy-Kick CS. Both of these products will stay up on the surface of whatever material you are spraying, making the insecticide more available for the scorpion to come in contact with it. All of the insecticides on our site are safe to use around pets (unless otherwise noted) as long as you follow the product label.

    Q
    Is it ok to spray Talstar P on sliding glass patio doors?
    When doing the outdoor treatment of the house with Talstar P, your video suggests I spray 2 feet up the house and 2 feet along the ground. When I get to a sliding glass door, should I spray 2 feet up on the glass door? What about on the sliding screen door, should I spray the bottom two feet of the screen door too?
    A
    When treating around patio doors you will want to spray all around the frame of the door itself and where the doors slide past each other, as well as along the track the doors slide on. You would not need to spray the glass to get an effective treatment.
