Talstar P Professional Insecticide - Questions & Answers

Our most popular general pest control product is called Talstar P. It is safe for indoor use around baseboards, cracks and crevices as well as for outdoor applications. It has minimum mild odor that dissipates by the time it's dry which can take up to two hours. Once the area treated is completely dry it is safe for everyone to go back including children and pets. It is a liquid concentrate and you can mix it at a rate of 1 oz per gallon of water for your first application and follow up at a rate of 0.5 oz per gallon of water. Indoors it can last up to 90 days and 30 days outdoors.

When treating your yard for fleas with Talstar P you can use anywhere between 0.5 ounces and 1 oz per gallon of water. So anywhere between 25 and 50 ounces to your 50 gallon sprayer. Keep in mind when treating for fleas, its important to use an IGR (insect birth control) to help stop the reproductive cycle. If you only use a portion of the yard closest to the home you could just mix the IGR with the Talstar and spray them both in those areas that you frequent the most or the pets frequent. We would recommend NyGuard IGR to mix in your tank.

Talstar P will kill mud daubers that come into contact with treated areas for a sufficient amount of time to receive a lethal dose. You will need to dilute 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water and broadcast spray over the areas where you have noticed activity. Most folks notice only very limited results from broadcast sprays of insecticides for cicada killers because they don't land and walk around for a long enough time before entering their underground burrow. For a more direct treatment, you can use Delta dust in each individual burrow. You may also want to consider our Wasp and Hornet Control Products.
