    Q
    What is the best product to help eliminate spiders from neglected property including in trees?
    I have just recently bought about 4 acres of land (no house) ,which is about 1/4 mile from a lake, which has not been kept up in a very long time. The grass, ivy, and bugs have had free reign during that time. I purchased the deltagard from you for the chiggers and other ground insects and it's worked great! There are MANY spiders on the land, both on the ground and in the trees. They literally land on you if you walk underneath the trees. I have access to a pressure washer to use to spray the trees (especially around the firepit and patio area). The 3 trees that I would be spraying are 100 year old oaks. I don't, however, want to hurt the trees or the birds. Do you have a liquid insecticide that I could use for this?
    A
    Talstar P would be a good choice to use outdoors to help control spiders. It is important to remember that Talstar P does not give an immediate knockdown but instead works over a period of several hours to kill spiders that have come into contact with the product. Talstar P will also help to get rid of the insects that spiders feed on and that will help to stop new spiders from moving in. You can spray the lawn, trees and other plants with Talstar P.

    Q
    Is there a product that would kill a wide range of pests? Specifically, a lawn treatment.
    I want to treat for fleas, ticks, Mosquitos, ants & other bitey-stingy-itchy bugs.
    A
    Talstar P is labeled for use on lawns and is labeled for all of the pests you mentioned and many others. Talstar is odorless, dries clear, is gentle on plants and can be used indoors and outdoors for insect control. Be sure to read the Talstar P product label for complete usage instructions for the types of pests you are trying to control as the concentration and application placement will vary.

    Q
    I currently use Cyonara 9.7. How does Talstar P compare to Cyonara 9.7?
    A
    The Talstar P and the Cyonara 9.7 are both great products and are very comparable for general pest control. Talstar P is very gentle on plants and is odorless. If you have a bedbug problem or need a faster knockdown Cyonara 9.7 would be a better choice. Our recommendation here at DoMyOwnPestControl.com is if the product is working well for you, stick with it.

    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!
    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.

    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
    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
    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
    How to properly spray 3100sf
    I am going to spray Talstar P on 3100sf my backyard. My question is I need to mix the 1oz per gallon of water do I need to spray all of that with my sprayer or can I use a Waterhouse attachment to spray. Using a water hose sprayer attachement I feel like it will be to diluted with mixing the 1oz with water prior to spraying with the water hose attachment. I hope this makes sense thank you
    A

    You should caliberate your sprayer to disperse 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.

    Q
    Do you know of any odorless pesticides for spiders and ants?
    I currently use a pest control service that uses a concentrate that they add water to and spray along the foundation of my house. It doesn't smell like anything at all. I'm looking to start spraying on my own to save the $80/quarter.
    A

    Talstar is a great general pest control product that can treat for over 75 insects listed on the label including spiders and ants. Talstar is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating, and will not break down easily with rainfall.

  • Asked by Jason from Cordova, Tn

    Q
    My questions are regarding Talstar. What are the health concerns of spray getting into the swimming pool?
    Also, why did an answer say it was safe to spray on food handling areas, but not on seats in car? What are the concerns of spraying Talstar around AC units outside a house that are currently in operation? Do you feel that Pressure Washing furniture will remove Talstar residue, and do you think the residue (although colorless and odorless) is harmful?
    A
    You should avoid getting Talstar P into swimming pools though small amounts that accidentally get in a pool will be so diluted that there shouldn't be any concern. Talstar P is labeled to be used in food handling establishments and food handling areas but all of the food prep surfaces and food products and utensils must be covered and the application must be kept to cracks and crevices only. Talstar P is only labeled for use in cracks and crevices when using indoors which is why we would have said no to spraying on the surface of a seat (Talstar P is not labeled to spray on any furniture in general). If you choose to spray around or on your A/C unit you should shut it off prior to the application and resume operation after the application is dry. You should not spray the surface of your lawn furniture with Talstar P (or any other insecticide). If the surface has already been sprayed you should thoroughly wash it with soap and copious amounts of water. When used as directed on the Talstar P product label this product  and the dry residual it leaves behind is safe for people and pets.
