    Q
    I intend to use Talastar P liquid in my yard for chinch bugs. Does it require watering in?
    A

    According to the Talstar P product label:

    Chinch Bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Irrigation of the grass area before treatment will optimize the penetration of the insecticide to the area where the chinch bugs are located. Use higher volume applications if the thatch layer is excessive or if a relatively long
    mowing height is being maintained. Chinch Bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher application rates (Up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) may be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the middle of the summer.

    Q
    What is the best yard Mosquito spray to use in Northern Michigan?
    I have a large yard and own 10 acres Mostly want to control my yard whixh is appx 2 acres
    A
    Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a sprayer.  You will need about 1 oz of product for every 1,000 sq ft of space you need to treat. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  Talstar should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.

    Q
    We have ants, grubs, and black widow spiders around our yard. Is there one product to kill them all?
    We have a half acre of property to cover so I need something that will cover a large area. I also need the product to be safe for animals since I have a small dog.
    A
    Talstar P would be a great product for you to use for the spiders and the ants on your property. Talstar P can be used in your yard, around the perimeter of your home and also inside your home when needed and it is safe for use around pets. Since grubs live underground they must be treated with a product that will target them where they live. We do have several products that are specifically labeled for grub worms on our website: Grub Worm Control. We also recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and inquire about the best time to start treatments for grubs in your region.

    Q
    How can I control biting gnats in my yard?
    I purchased Riptide and Talstar. I am hoping that these will help control them a little bit so that I can feel comfortable out in my back yard. Thanks for your help
    A
    You purchased the exact products that we would have recommended. Spray Talstar P and Riptide on trees, shrubs and bushes paying special attention to the underside of the leaves. You can also spray your lawn to help control the low flying gnats that tend to land there. Talstar P will give a long lasting residual while the Riptide will give you a fast knockdown. You can use both products in the same area to get both a fast knock down and a long lasting residual. It is best to treat in the early morning or the late evening when these pests are most active.

    Q
    I have read that Talstar is safe for pets, but what if my pets eat the grass?
    I recently purchased Talstar to treat ants on our property after reading all the reviews. I know pets can enter the treated area after the product has dried, but my issue is that two of my dogs have been eating grass in the yard, and there are a fair amount of ant colonies that I need to treat in the yard itself. My concern is they may eat grass that may have been treated along the property line or around a concrete pad I plan to treat. What precautions do I need to take here? Is there another product you would recommend instead?
    A
    I would imagine that your dogs may eat some grass but probably not a lot of it at once.  Talstar, when mixed with water is only strong enough to kill small insects, like ants.  Your dogs would have to eat a truckload of grass most likely to get sick, and they would probably get much more sick from the grass then the Talstar.  However, of course we recommend anything you can do to minimize your dogs from eating the grass.  The other thing you could do is not broadcast the spray over the whole lawn, but treat the ant mounds individually so the grass in between the mounds is free from spray.  Hopefully your dogs don't eat dirt mounds also.

    Q
    Best product for mosquitoes?
    I live in Dallas area. What is best suitable for mosquitoes and common summer yard pest control?
    A
    Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio you are trying to provide relief at.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.  Best of all it will not harm any birds in the area.

    Q
    What granules can I use to spread on my lawn for termites?
    I have been using your Termidor for termites.
    A

    If you have purchased Termidor SC from us and completed the proper trench treatment around the foundation of your home (outlined in the guide below) then that is all the protection you would need to do. Treating the surface of the soil with a liquid or granule in your lawn will not prevent or keep termites away. Termites in their natural environment are actually beneficial insects and most homeowners have them in their yard without ever knowing it as everything is in balance. If you know where a particular colony or activity of termites in the soil is in a particular area you can always drench the soil in that spot with a product like Talstar P.

    Q
    Where in Rhode Island can buy Talstar P? Does it work on web worm and what month of the year is the best time of to apply and what time of day?
    A
    Talstar P can be applied to the lawn once a month for treating sod webworms. We are not aware of any local stores in your state that carry the product as it is a professional strength product sold online by retail distributors such as ours. We also offer free shipping.
    Time applications to control young larvae, if possible. Spot treatments may be applied when infestations are first detected and the damaged area is small. The treatment will be most effective if applied in the early evening when larvae begin feeding. Please check with your local cooperative extension office to see if a second generation is possible in one season in your region.

    Q
    Is Talstar P compatible with Armada?
    A
    Talstar P does not specific compatibility with Armada so we recommend doing a jar test to make sure they do not have a chemical reaction.
    Most of the time you can apply all of those types of products together and apply them at the same time so long as all the products label of the items you are using allow tank mixing. 
    We would suggest using something like a fungicide by itself unless you have insect and disease damage occurring to the lawn at the same time (as in grubs, chinch bugs, etc), otherwise mix those together for applying.

    Q
    Will Talstar P (Talstar One) get rid of German roaches?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for roaches but is not the best choice, especially for German roaches, as they typically require a more aggressive treatment. German roaches reproduce at a rapid rate and can be resistant to many products that have been used over time. The most effective way to treat for German roaches is to use a combination of an insecticide residual spray, strong roach bait gel, and an insect growth regulator (IGR).  We would recommend using one of our Roach Control Kits so that you can be sure you have everything you need for a complete roach treatment program. You may also want to look over our Roach Control Treatment Guide for more information.
