    Q
    I have a wasp and hornet Apocalypse going on out here at our house! Will this do the job at getting them gone?
    Wasps Bees Hornets
    A

    Talstar will kill any wasp, bee, or hornet that comes into contact with a treated area.  Keep in mind that this is not a contact kill product, so it can take up to 24 hours for an insect to die after contacting a treated surface.  You can also use a product like Wasp Freeze as a contact kill.  If you know where any of the nests are located, you can use Wasp Freeze to treat those directly as well.  It is best to apply any insecticides in the early morning or evening when the wasps/bees/hornets are least active.

    Q
    Is it safe to eat fruit from a tree that's planted next to a house that's sprayed with Talstar P 4Xs/year?
    A
    You can eat the fruit as long as the tree is not sprayed and the soil around the tree is not sprayed. Keep Talstar P out of the trees root zone.

    Q
    Is Talstar systemic?
    I am looking for a systemic chemical for spider mites on tropical hibiscus. A local garden center recommended Hi-Yield 38. Do you have a recommendation. I have 200+ plants.
    A

    Neither Talstar P Professional Insecticide or Hi-Yield 38 are systemic products. We are unaware of any systemic product that is labeled for use for spider-mite control as a soil drench.  This pest is mainly treated with foliar sprays with something like Talstar P,  Avid (which is a translaminar systemic – meaning absorbed through the leaves), or Hexygon DF.

  • Asked by David from Macungie, Pa
    04/17/2013
    Q
    I want to use Talstar P to spray my lawn.
    I want to use it w/ an all purpose sprayer that you attach to a garden hose such as the Gilmour 362. Would this work? I am especially wanting to spray my front and back yard to guard against fleas, ticks, grubs and ants.
    A
    Talstar P will work in most hose end sprayers though a few folks have commented that the sprayer they used did get clogged because Talstar is a little bit thick. Talstar P is a great general use insecticide but it is not labeled to control grubs. Most general use insecticides do not control grubs.  For grub control you will need to use a product such as Dominion 2L that contains imidacloprid.

    Q
    I have Mealybugs on my Hibiscus plants. How much Talstar Pshould I use in a 32 oz spray bottle?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) rate is 0.5 to 1.0 fl oz per gallon of water.  For smaller amounts of water such as a quart you would just use ¼ of that.  It must be applied in a pump sprayer to be used correctly not a trigger sprayer like a 409/Windex bottle.

    Q
    I have tomato plants growing two feet from were I sprayed Talstar P. Are the tomatoes safe to eat?
    A
    As long as you didn't spray the tomato plants with Talstar P , they should be safe to eat. Talstar P does not move through the soil and will not translocate.

  • Asked by Chris from Summerland Key, Florida

    Q
    Mosquito yard treatment
    I am looking for a mosquito yard treatment for a gravel based yard about 800sqft in Summerland Key Florida. We get alot of rain and the humidity is high, so standing water is abundant as well as lots of tropical plant life.
    A
    We would recommend the Mosquito control kit. Talstar will hold up in rain after it has dried. Please be sure like any other insecticide to make your application when it is not raining. Talstar is safe to apply to non-edible plant life. Please be aware that this product is harmful to aquatic life and watch for run-off areas. The Bti Dunks will work great in large bodies of standing water, as it is a larvacide.

  • Asked by Joe from Leland, Nc
    04/10/2013
    Q
    Does Talstar P kill kudzu bugs? Which should I use Talstar P or Demon WP?
    A
    Both Talstar P and Demon WP will kill kudzu bugs. If you are spraying porous surfaces you would want to choose the Demon WP because it will stay up on the surface a bit more and be more available to the insects. If you need to spray plants, trees and siding Talstar P would be a great choice.
