    Q
    Can I use Talstar P in my attic?
    I have wasps and spiders in my attic getting into my house. Can I spray this in the attic? If so, where can I spray just the rafters or the insulation too? And what do I do about the electrical wires, pipes, and recessed lights in the attic?
    A
    You can use Talstar P in your attic in all of the cracks and crevices for insect control. If you have a lot of exposed electrical elements you may want to consider using a dust insecticide instead of the Talstar P in your attic. Dusts like Evergreen dust and Tempo dust will last a lot longer than liquid insecticides and they can be used around the electrical elements you described without worry of shock or shorting out the device.

    Q
    Which product is best for all around inside pest control in a household with dogs and cats?
    I'm looking to save a little money rather than paying an expensive quarterly contract. I would like something that I could use inside and out of the house. I would like it not to have a residue. There are so many to choose from.
    A
    We recommend Talstar P for outdoor/indoor control of most flying and crawling insects. Talsta P is safe to use around animals as long as they are out of the area while you are spraying, they can return as soon as the area is dry. Talstar P is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and will not break down easily with rainfall.

    Q
    How to treat a walk in attic space with Talstar P and Delta Dust?
    I am planning to treat for brown recluse in our house. I purchased Talstar P and Delta Dust. I think I understand the treatment procedure in the main living space but want to know how/where to treat my walk in attic space.
    A

    You can use Talstar P in your attic in all of the cracks and crevices for insect control. If you have a lot of exposed electrical elements though you would want to just use the Delta Dust in these areas as it will last a lot longer than liquid insecticides and they can be used around the electrical elements without worry of shock or shorting out the device.

    Q
    Best product for general pest control?
    As a new home owner I am curious to know the professional opinion for bug prevention I can apply to my house. I live in forest eco system with lots of fir trees and shrubs... I see ants, occasional spiders, and mosquitos. Is there a particular time of year? Or product you recommend for preventative treatment and maintenance?
    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.

    We apologize after re-reading your question, we have determined a better recommendation for you. You can use Talstar P as a broadcast treatment out in the yard and around your home to treat those tiny black ants.

    Q
    Will Talstar P (Talstar One) kill gnats & roaches?
    I started getting an infestation of gnats this spring. I have tried everything from foggers to home remedies. The gnats are in my basement/garage. There is a lot of dirt areas around the perimeter inside the garage area. It cannot be removed. (Old house, 1920). Anyway, please help me!
    A

    Yes, Talstar P (Talstar One) is labeled for gnats and roaches. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This can be sprayed around the perimeter of your home, on trees, bushes, broadcast across your lawn, etc. It cannot be sprayed on any type of edibles or area where animals would graze.

    We would also recommend mixing the Talstar P (Talstar One) with Gentrol IGR. This will stop the roaches from reproducing for up to four months.

    Q
    Should I use Talstar or Termidor for carpenter ants?
    I have carpenter ants on the exterior of my house. I've seen them come out from under the cedar shake. Which product would be best to get red of these and how long does each product last? How long before rain should these products be applied?
    A

    Termidor SC around the perimeter of the home would be better than Talstar P.  Termidor will have transfer effect so can help to eliminate the entire colony whereas Talstar P will only kill the ants that contact a treated surface.  It can be applied twice a year or four times a year outside depending on the rate. This link can explain.

    Q
    I live in Ocala, Fl, and I need Diazinon (or better).
    I just moved to Ocala, Florida from up north in Maryland. The ants and termites are everywhere, and they are getting in the house. I had used Diazinon years ago (in Maryland) to control pests. It was GREAT. What is equal too or better than it, that can be purchased at a local Lowes or Home Depot?
    A

    Diazinon was outlawed over 10 years ago, and it is too bad because it was a great product.  Unfortunately, the over the counter products do not even come close to the effectiveness of Diazinon.  However, our professional products do!  We sell the same professional products used by professional companies that cannot be sold over the counter.  Our most popular product is Talstar P.  It is a general use insecticide which can be applied inside and outside, is odorless, is labeled for over 80 different insects, and can last up to 90 days in between treatments.  Please take a moment and read some of our over 50 customer reviews about how well Talstar worked for them.

    Q
    What is the best product to use around my home for general pest control?
    I had a professional pest control company that I no longer use. They only used an outside barrier spray, but never had insects, except maybe a few ants. I just recently have seen some very small bugs in my house on occasion. Do you have a good barrier bug control. I am a regular customer of you folks. Thank you!
