    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.

    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
    What can be used to kill ant colony in a container plant that will not harm the plant? Perhaps a soil drench?
    A

    We would suggest treating the potted plant with Talstar P for ant control. Mix rate would be 0.5 to 1.0 fl oz per gallon of water. You can treat the soil and foliage of the plant.

    Q
    If using the Chapin Professional Hose-end Sprayer with Metering Dial (G362D), can Talstar P be sprayed at the rate of 1 fl oz in 3 gallons of water as long as the entire amount is applied over the entire 1000 square foot area? Using more water makes it easier to cover the correct area with a hose end sprayer.
    A

    Talstar P Professional Insecticide should not be applied using a hose end sprayer when treating  lawns, landscape beds, trees, etc. The liquid concentrate is too thick of a liquid and would clog the hose end sprayer. In a handpump or backpack sprayer, you can use the 1fl oz of Talstar P in 3 gallons of water over 1000 sq ft to insure adequate coverage.

    Q
    What type of applicator is needed to apply Talstar P to treat lawns for sodwebworms?
    A
    You can apply Talstar P with a handpump sprayer or a hose end sprayer. Either applicator will work fine and it really boils down to personal preference. If you are treating a large yard it may be more convenient to use a hose end sprayer to avoid constantly refilling a smaller hand pump sprayer.

    Q
    I have Talstar P and have used Ortho Bug-B-Gon, can I use that hose end sprayer and how much do I put in?
    I figured about 1/3 teaspoon, am I close or way off?
    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.

    Q
    Is Talstar safe around my orchids when I spray?
    A
    Talstar P is safe for use on most plants. Having said that we still recommend you test the product on just one or two plants before using it on all of the plants to test for damage as some plants can be more sensitive than others.

    Q
    what can i use for inside and outside for general insect kill
    I am currently on a quarterly spray but would like to do my own to save me money ,I would like to known what all in one product I could mix and apply that would kill most common insects and bugs that won't pets or leave a white residue on things. Also I would like mouse blocks that can be used in boxes and also just thrown under the house . Please show what your best options are in a concentrate to mix and use on a quarterly basis. Thanks
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for over 75 types of insects and our most popular insecticide for general pest control. Talstar P has a residual of 30 days outside (perimeter or broadcast spray) and 90 days inside the home(crack and crevice) Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

    For Mice control, depending on the level of infestation we recommend the Protecta RTU Mouse Bait Stations Case(12 Stations) with Fastrac Blox. These stations hold 1 bait blox and can be placed in corners where mice travel. Fastrac is a quick knockdown rodenticide with a Stop feed action after consuming lethal dose, usually within 12-48 hours.

    If you are needing a larger bait station, we recommend the Protecta Mouse Bait Station that can hold up to 4 standard size blox. These would work better for you under the home.
