    04/19/2015
    Q
    Can I use Talstar P where my horses will be grazing for fire ant control?
    A
    Talstar P is NOT labeled for use in pastures containing grazing animals. Extinguish Plus is actually the product of choice in areas where horses may be kept or will be grazing (as long as the horses will not be used for feed or food). Extinguish Plus combines the power of hydramethylnon with an insect growth regulator (IGR) to kill fire ant workers and prevent queens from laying fertile eggs. The result is complete fire ant colony control. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is best used in the spring or early fall, or whenever fire ants are active. The ants will feed off Extinguish Plus and spread the bait throughout the entire colony, halting the infestation within weeks. You can use this product on pastureland, however you must remove all grazing livestock for at least 48 hours after application.  Then they can return to the land after 48 hours.

  • Asked by Sandra from Las Vegas
    06/03/2018
    Q
    How much Talstar P do I need to use?
    If 1 diluted gallon covers 1000 square feet, and my house is 4500 square feet with guest house of 2000 square feet on 1.25 acre of land: How much diluted product would be needed to spray both houses and the land? Do I spray inside only on the perimeter of each room and outside around perimeter of houses? Do I spray all of the land area or only in the perimeter of the lot?
    A

    Talstar P is mixed at the rate of 0.5 to 1.0 fl oz per gallon of water, so a gallon of the Talstar will make about 128 to 256 gallons of solution and will  last up to 90 days depending on where it is applied.  Each finished gallon of solution covers approx 1000 sq. ft.  Inside applications are limited to just cracks and crevices, along baseboards etc.  Outside you would apply 2 to 3 feet up and out around the home, around window and door frames, and other potential entry points.  You can choose to spray the lawn for further protection or just around the perimeter.  Please refer to the product label for complete instructions on any target pest.

    Q
    How much solution of the Termidor Sc or Talstar P should I spray in the ground were the holes were drilled?
    I had my house serviced by a pest co.and they drilled holes every 12 inches,how much solution of the Termidor Sc or Talstar P should I spray in the ground were the holes were drilled(concrete)...Dan
    A
    We recommend you use the Termidor SC as it is a much better termite control product. Per the product label you will still need to use 4 gallons of finished solution for every 10 linear feet. So if there is 1 hole every 12 inches you should apply .4 gallon of diluted solution per drilled hole to achieve the correct continuous barrier rate. You can use a sprayer with the nozzle adjusted to pinstream to apply the product to the holes or you can use a funnel inserted into the drilled holes and pour the solution in with a bucket.

    Q
    Can birds die from eating insects that have died from Talstar P?
    We have found dead birds in our yard within a week or two after using Talstar P. Well after the Talstar application was dry, there were still insects outside that were dead or dying.
    A
    No, Talstar P would not harm birds eating the dead insects. Talstar P is a very safe product when used as directed on the product label. In fact, Talstar P is even labeled to be used in poultry houses where birds come in direct contact with the product.

    Q
    Have little black bugs so small you can just barely see them, I've tried talstar but they are still showing up?
    these bugs are so small if they are not on a light colored background you can't see them. they are in my daughters bathroom, talstar mixed strong doesn't seem to stop them. do you have any idea?
    A

    What you are describing sounds like springtails.  They are common in bathrooms and kitchens because they can breed under the slab and follow plumbing pipes and drains into your house.  You should google springtails and see if this is your issue.  If it is, Talstar Liquid is considered one of the best treatments for springtails to control them, but honestly you will not get rid of the problem no matter how many products you use if you cannot find the source.  The whole key to getting rid of springtails is their breeding source.  You have to find it.  Usually they breed under the slab and enter the home through small cracks.  Unfortunately when they breed under the slab the product you apply on top of the ground like Talstar will not make it to them.  The slab has to dry out and you have to do whatever you can to prevent moisture from getting under the slab.  Usually springtails are breeding because of too much mulch around the house, grade against the house is not going away from the house and water puddles up, downspouts are not going away from the house, etc.   Getting rid of springtails is a moisture management issue usually and not something that pesticides can get rid of alone.
