    Q
    Does Talstar P work on maggots?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One)  is not directly labeled for maggots for the common house fly, but it would help with the maggot control as it would cause the fly population to decrease rapidly. It should be mixed at 0.5 to 1.0 oz. per gallon of water and applied on the exterior of the home focusing around windows, doors, areas of direct sunlight and where you notice the flies congregating. Using a fly bait trap such as the Flies Be Gone Trap to draw the flies away from the home is also recommended.

    Q
    I sprayed this on my Meyer Lemon 2 weeks before it bloomed. Do I need to remove fruit?
    It didn't fruit until a couple weeks after spraying. I know this is not systemic and its not suppose to be absorbed into the plant so is there any harm in eating my lemons. I have since bought captian jacks with spinosad for this tree but Im wondering if I need to discard the fruit already on it.
    A
    Talstar P is not labeled to be used on edible plants. The manufacturer does recommend that you discard any fruit from the tree for this growing season if the tree was sprayed with Talstar P.

    Q
    Can I apply talstar to newly seeded grass?
    A
    Talstar P is water based and is known to be very gentle on plants and it should be fine to spray on your newly seeded grass. We do recommend that you do not spray during the hottest part of the day. We also recommend that you spray a small section and wait a couple of days before spraying all of the grass to make sure damage does not occur as some plants may be super sensitive to any chemical.

    Q
    I found a plum tree in my backyard infected with termites. Can I use Talstar P for treating a fruit tree?
    I treat the outside of my house with Talstar P every year. But with termites within 20 feet of my house walls, I want a product that kills the termite colony. Is Talstar P the correct product or Termidor for that?
    A
    Termidor or Talstar P cannot be used in the manner you have described and neither are labeled for use on. Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so you most likely will not find any products that will work as a ground barrier around the trees.  Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termidor would be the product to use for that.  It is only labeled to be used adjacent to the structure though.  Please take a moment to read over our article on "How to do a Termite Treatment" for complete details.

    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
    What product can I use in my crankout windows to kill and repel wasps from building their nests?
    90% of the windows in our house are used for nesting. When I open the windows (even with screens) grass and other debris come falling in.
    A
    Talstar P would be a great option to kill and repel wasps from building their nest around window frames. Simply mix 1 oz of Talstar with 1 gllon of water and spray on the exterior of window frames.

    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
    What product is good for fleas on concrete driveway/walkway, dry grass dirt perimeter, lawn, and indoor use?
    Can you recommend a good product to rid of fleas on concrete walkway, dry grass dirt perimeter around house, dry lawn, and indoor carpet use.
    A
    The best products for flea control outdoors would be Talstar P mixed with NyGuard IGR. The Talstar is the insecticide that will kill the fleas and leave a residual, and the NyGuard is the birth control that will halt the infestation from growing. Mix these in your sprayer together with water and spray any areas outdoors where you are having a problem with fleas or any other insect. For indoor control, you would use Ultracide which is a flea aerosol. It comes ready to use and has both the adulticide and igr (birth control) to provide you with the same type of control indoors as you have outdoors. You will need to go through and vacuum all flooring and furniture prior to using the product. Once vacuumed, use the Ultracide to spray down all carpets, hardwoods, baseboards, rugs, pet bedding and furniture to eliminate the fleas. After application you will leave the home until the product has had time to dry which normally takes about an hour or so. Once dry, all pets, children and adults can re-enter the home and resume normal activity. You will need to vacuum daily for 14 days and then do a second application of the Ultracide. You can see more tips for treating in our article How To Get Rid Of Fleas Indoors.

    Q
    Can I spray talstar or bifenthrin on my pool cage screen to prevent " no see ums" from getting in?
    I was told to use permethrin but it doesn't seem to work...my pool is constantly full of them! I'm hoping the oil based bifenthrin is the answer.
    A
    The active ingredient Bifenthrin is labeled to help control Noseeums. You would want to treat the perimeter of the pool with Talstar P focusing on the bushes, trees, shrubs and ground cover surrounding the pool. Incorporating an Insect Growth Regulator such as Archer IGR will help break down the population because it keeps the insects from being able to reproduce. A great contact kill to use is Microcare Aerosol Spray to use around the entry points to the pool house (doors, eaves, joint areas against screen)

    Q
    I have larder beetles. I need to know what I can use to get rid of them but will not harm my Macaws?
    I am in an apartment, and I know they are using the radiators. The eggs have hatched and now these beetles are already shedding by the time they get to the other register. My cat is excellent at finding these things. Anyway, I have asked my manager to have his bug guy come, but I get nowhere. I also have two Macaws that are VERY sensitive. I cannot even cook on Teflon, the fumes will kill them. Someone told me to use Bifenthrin, but is this safe? What are my alternatives?
    A
    Bifenthrin is an active ingredient found in several products, Talstar P being the most popular and widely used bifenthrin product. Talstar P is a very safe product and is even labeled to be used in poultry houses and animal confinement areas. Having said that, we do not feel comfortable making a product recommendation for you because your birds are so sensitive. We recommend you speak to your veterinarian for recommendations or remove the birds completely during the entire treatment process.
