    Q
    Can Talstar P be applied at a high pressure or will it break down the molecular structure of the chemical?
    A
    Talstar P should not be used in a high pressure sprayer. Most recommended insecticide sprayers use a range of 30-150 PSI. Higher range PSI will tend to break down the insecticide.

    Q
    What can be used to eliminate zoysia mite?
    Started seeing this in my lawn in Memphis last year. Paid professional lawn care co to eliminate, which seemed to work after spraying twice. Don't know what they used, but it's back again this year. Was a bit pricey and could probably do it myself if I knew what to use.
    A
    Talstar P is our most popular product for control of zoysia mites. You will need to dilute 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water and apply the dilution over 1,000 sq ft.

    Q
    Can I use a hose end sprayer with Talstar?
    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.

    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
    Is there something that will get rid of grasshoppers but not hurt my cats?
    Have 2 cats who love to play in the yard, roll in the dirt, sleep in the flower beds, under the trees, hide in the bushes... The grasshoppers are killing most of my plants and shrubs. I welcome your guidance. Please and thank you
    A
    Talstar P would be a good choice for grasshopper control. You should start applications before the grasshoppers have a chance to hatch for best control. You should thoroughly spray your lawn and water in the application with about a .25 in of water to help the product get past the thatch layer and into the soil where grass hoppers actually develop. If you already have grasshoppers you can use Talstar P at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per 1 gallon of water for the quickest knockdown. Use sufficient amounts of water to help the product get to the soil layers. Once the Talstar has dried it will be completely safe for the cats to resume their normal activity in the areas that have been treated.

    Can I mix weed killer and Talstar together?

    In most cases, Talstar P can be mixed with a herbicide as long as the mixing instructions on both product labels are followed.  It is recommended to do a small jar test first to be sure that the products are compatible.

    Q
    What time of day should I spray Talstar?
    Can Ii spray half one day other half next day or can i least wait do it in am and finish in pm?
    A

    There is no particular time that you have to spray. Most people spray outside in early in the morning or when there is the least amount of insect activity. You will mix 1 oz of Talstar P with 1 gallon of water. That will treat 1,000 sq feet.

    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with a weed killer?
    A

    Most insecticides and herbicides are able to be tank mixed together, just make sure you follow each product label instructions for "tank mixing" instructions. You would want to keep kids out of the area while treating, they can return once the are has completely dried
