    Q
    What is the best product to use for a millipede infestation?
    A
    Millipedes are usually going to be present when there is a lot of moisture in the area. If you have a lot of mulch near your house you may want to consider raking it back at least six inches away from the house. Also trimming bushes so that you can see the soil beneath them and so they do not touch the house will help reduce soil moisture and stop the insects from gaining access to the house via the bushes.  Talstar P would be a great choice for this pest.  You would apply around the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages. We have also written an article with other tips that may help you with millipede control : Get Rid of Millipedes

    Q
    FMC the manufacturer of Talstar does not recommend applying with a hose end sprayer. Is that because it's less effective?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is not labeled to be applied with hose end sprayer, because it is a professional grade product. You can apply with a hose end sprayer. The same application rates apply. Keep in mind using a hose end sprayer can be a little more difficult to calibrate than simply mixing 1oz per gallon water in a pump sprayer, but we have many customers that use the hose end sprayer application.

    Q
    Pest Control-Products Outside of House
    I want to put some pest control outside around the house, in the brick crevices etc... An exterminator company came to the house last week offering a sale of $120 every 2 months to preventative control, for spiders, mice, whatever other bugs are outside. I just built my house which is outside of town in a subdivision, but across the street we have open, fields etc... I have purchased from this website before, and I figured I would give it a shot at doing it myself before paying those rates. What product would you recommend?
    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.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests. Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules.

  • 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.

    I have about an acre of lawn surrounded by heavy woods, can I use Talstar P in a hose end sprayer to treat the lawn and edge of the woods to control mosquitos and fire ants?
    A
    You can use Talstar P in a hose end sprayer as long as the hose end sprayer can be calibrated to spray the correct usage rate as specified on the product label. Most folks use the 1 oz of product to 1 gallon of product rate for outdoor insect control.
