    Q
    Can I reuse a container used for weed killer (not grass) with Talstar?
    I have a have empty bottle of weed eater from home depot, but I like it because it sprays with electronic trigger. With a good rinse, could I use 1oz talstar/gallon water mix for indoor outdoor and lawn?...if I did already what should be my next plan of action?
    A
    You can use the jug but you must rinse it several times and spray water through the hose and nozzle several times to make sure all of the residuals are gone. For most Talstar P general pest control applications you will use 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon water. Please refer to the Talstar P product label for complete usage instructions.

    Q
    Is Talstar P labeled for Springtails?
    Does this work on springtails? None of the products i seen list springtails.
    A
    Yes, Talstar P is labeled to treat Springtails. You want to mix at a ratio of 1fl oz per One gallon of water. You want to spray the outside perimeter 2-3 feet up and 2-3 feet out, also focus on cracks and crevices and entry points inside. Please be sure to verify there are no water leaks that could be attracting springtails.

  • Asked by Adam from Statesboro, Ga

    Q
    How is Talstar P Professional Insecticide used for ant control in the yard? I have a backpack sprayer and mist blower.
    A

    When using Talstar P Professional Insecticide for ant control, mix 1 fl oz per gallon of water, locate and treat ant nests, and trails around doors and windows and other places where ants have been observed or are expected to forage. Spray the exterior perimeter foundation 2 to 3 ft up and 2 to 3 ft out from the foundation. For ant control in the lawn, mix at the same 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.

    For treating Fire Ants, the best control is obtained by a broadcast application along with mound drenches. Apply broadcast treatments at 0.6 to 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet. Treat mounds by applying 1 fl oz Talstar P Professional per mound in 1 to 2 gallons water by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet out around the mound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12”. Treat mounds with sufficient force to break their apex and allow the insecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 - 80?F) or in the early morning or late evening hours.

    Please review the Application Directions Ant Control on page 4 of the product label.

  • Asked by Robin from Grand Junction, Co
    06/28/2015
    Q
    My silver maple has sun scald, splitting bark with earwigs, and some borers. Will Talstar P help?
    I prefer to buy the most efficient, least expensive product. Thank you!
    A

    Sunscald that has caused the bark to split will often heal on its own in otherwise healthy trees. If you experience rapid temperature fluctuations at the end of winter and in early spring, then you may want to wrap trees that are sensitive to this condition to help prevent sunscald. Talstar P is a versatile inseticide concentrate that is safe for use on many ornamentals and is labeled for over 75 pests. Talstar P is also water-based, so it should not cause additional stress to the strees. You may also want to consult an arborist to be sure your trees are receiving enough water to recover from the bark split, and to check if it may need additional nutrients.

    Q
    How long does it take for Talstar to dry indoors?
    Most insecticides I have noticed are 30-45 minutes, just wondering if Talstar was the same?
    A
    Talstar P is a water based insecticide and it takes the same amount of time as water to dry. In most cases it is dry within 1 hour.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used effectively from a backpack fogger?
    A
    Talstar can be used in a backpack sprayer or a mist blower like the Solo 451 but it cannot be used in any type of fogging equipment. Please take a look at our Fogging Concentrates to see if any of these might be more suited to your application needs.

  • Asked by Danette from Ms
    03/18/2013
    Q
    What is the most effective, Talstar PL granules or Talstar P liquid, for ant control for a 3acre area?
    I've used the Talstar PL granules twice/yr with success for a 3 plus years. However, if the liquid is just as effective, spaying it with a 30gallon sprayer would be more convenient.
    A
    Both formulations will provide the same level of control for most insects though the granules are a bit more "time released" and will last a little bit longer than the topical spray.

    07/16/2013
    Q
    Can I use Talstar in a fogger?
    I have an old Burgess fogger.

Using Talstar or any other insecticide not designed for a fogger could clog your equipment or lower the efficacy of the product as the ingredient are not designed for this type of application. You may want to consinder some of our Fogging Concentrates to see which best fits your needs and type of fogger. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
