    Q
    What can can be used in a Dial-A-Sprayer to control sod webworms, fleas, and ticks for my lawn? I have 1.2 acres to treat.
    A
    Talstar P would be a great choice for you. Talstar P is labeled for sod webworms, fleas and ticks and can be used on your lawn in a hose end sprayer or a hand pump sprayer. Be sure to read the Talstar P product label for application instructions as the applications can vary according to the pest you are treating.

  • Asked by Carol from Grand Prairie, Texas
    01/23/2016
    Q
    Is Talstar P effective for rodent mites?
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled specifically for rat mites. The easiest method to control rodent mites that have entered your home is to physically remove them with a vacuum cleaner or wipe them up with a moist cloth. Mites are not automatically killed by a vacuum cleaner so freeze the bag to prevent the mites from crawling back out.

    Locating the source and eliminating the hosts and nests is important to prevent further problems with these mites. Nests are usually located in attics, basements, or inside walls. If necessary, trap them with kill traps or glue boards. Spray the dead rat and its nest with a disinfectant.

    Removing mites€™ source (dead mice, rats, and abandoned nests) is very important. Unless you remove their source, rat mites will continue to seek human host infesting your house.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used in a broadcast hose-end sprayer for pests in the grass?
    If so, is there a guide for how much to use?
    A
    Yes, Talstar P can be used in a hose end sprayer to apply to a large area like a lawn. You apply at the same rate as a hand held sprayer.  Typically, this is one ounce per gallon of water per 1000 square feet.  So, if you wanted to treat your lawn that was 5000 square feet, you would place 5 ounces of Talstar P in the hose end sprayer and then set or fill your sprayer to the 5 gallon mark.

    Q
    Is there a specific pyrethrum concentrate for spraying my house?
    I would like to spray my house and deck area to kill & repel mosquitoes and spiders. Living in the country has its advantages but the bugs are not one of them I can barely use my hot tub due to mosquitoes and the spiders never quit hanging webs all over the place. Can you help me?
    A
    Our suggestion would be Talstar P.  It is our number one selling insecticide and our best selling product for mosquitoes.  It will also kill spiders as well as about 100 other different insects listed on the product label.

    Q
    Will Talstar P harm little lizards living around my house?
    I have a few little lizards living around my house. I bought Talstar Professional and plan to use it around, so I wanted to find out whether it will harm those lizards (which I wouldn't like to do). Could you please advice me? Thank you.
    A
    As long as Talstar p is not sprayed directly on the lizards the product should not cause them harm. You will see a reduction of the little lizards however because by spraying Talstar P you will be eliminating their food source near your home and the lizards will naturally go in search of better hunting grounds.

    Talstar is a water based product that is labeled to be used indoors and on ornamental plants. We have never had a report that Talstar caused damage to a plant when it is used as directed on the product label. Talstar is used daily in homes across the US without any issues.

    Is Talstar P Professional Insecticide safe for dogs?
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide can safely be applied in and around homes with pets as long as it is used according to the product label. Please make sure your dog is out of the area during treatment until the product has had time to dry completely. At that time your pet can resume normal activity.

    Q
    What would help with control/death of indoor aphids? It's an epidemic.
    A
    Talstar is one of our most popular products for aphids as well as any other insect.  It is our most popular product and widely used by professional companies both outside and inside homes.  You can apply Talstar to any plant, shrub, bush, or turf grass, as well as inside and outside perimeters, as long as you are not applying it to anything edible.

    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
