    Q
    How to properly spray 3100sf
    I am going to spray Talstar P on 3100sf my backyard. My question is I need to mix the 1oz per gallon of water do I need to spray all of that with my sprayer or can I use a Waterhouse attachment to spray. Using a water hose sprayer attachement I feel like it will be to diluted with mixing the 1oz with water prior to spraying with the water hose attachment. I hope this makes sense thank you
    A

    You should caliberate your sprayer to disperse 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.

    Q
    How do you spray indoor plants without runoff using Talstar P Professional Insecticide?
    A

    General caution should be used when spraying an insecticide like Talstar P to certain types of plants, including tropical plants.  You may consider using a product like Bonide Systemic Granules which are convenient, ready to use granules that provide effective, long lasting insect control for up to 8 weeks.  This product is excellent for indoor houseplant use with no odor, no spray, no mess formula, and is labeled to kill tough houseplant pests like fungus gnats, mealybugs, whiteflies, thrips, and aphids.  The s systemic action of this product means that it is absorbed through the roots and moves throughout the plant and even protects new growth.

    Q
    What's a good treatment for around perimeter of the house in early spring?
    With warmer weather forecasted in central PA, it usually means some pre-spring activity is certain to happen, especially ants, flying ants, and horse flies and such.
    A

    You can prevent ants, flies and other insects from entering your home by applying a long lasting residual product such as Talstar. Talstar kills over 75 different insects and is safe to use indoors and outdoors, is gentle on plants, is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall. We also suggest you use Integrated Pest Management or IPM. IPM is a step by step approach that helps you identify the pest and determine why that pest is there, and then determine how to exclude the pest in the future. Please read the IPM article to learn how to successfully stop pests before they become a problem.

    Q
    Something growing in my Talstar P
    I have a 3/4 gal bottle of Talstar P. It is one year old. I have used it in my 2 homes and it is very effective. But today, I went to use it and noticed some dark green or grey black splotches in the measuring area of the bottle. There was only residual product in that part. I measured out the amount I needed and when I poured it out, it was somewhat clumpy. Which indicates a fungus growing in there. Just want to know your thoughts. I keep the bottle in my basement in a cabinet, so there is no light hitting the bottle. Thanks!
    A

    We apologize that there appears to be fungus like substance in your bottle of Talstar P. There was an issue with one Lot of 3/4 gallon Talstar from FMC last year. We would be more than happy to ship you a new bottle or refund you for this bottle from the defective Lot. You can call us at 866-581-7378 to follow up of this matter up.

    Q
    Should a fungicide, fertilizer, and insecticide all be mix together one spraying a lawn?
    I ask because I work for a company and the owner has us mix all of those together (occasionally) plus a little iron micro mix and a type of conform. I feel like this is not good for the grass with all those together. Is it more effective to just do one at a time although I know that we would be spending a lot of money. Like if a grass has fungus would it be better just to spray nothing but fungicide mixed with water or is it okay to put everything in one?
    A
    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. While it shouldn't harm a yard to do this, and many companies will apply multiple products together, separating the sprays even by a little can be easier on the lawn health. We would suggest using something like a fungicide by itself unless you have insect and disease damage occuring to the lawn at the same time (as in grubs, chinch bugs, etc), otherwise mix those together for applying. Then you can use a fertilizer or herbicide afterwards by a few days or even a week to not overload the lawn with chemicals.

    Q
    What mix do you recommend for mosquitoes?
    I am currently using Talstar/Nyguard but not as effective as it was
    A

    The mixing ratio for mosquitoes is 1 fl oz per gallon of water.The key is to apply the Talstar P it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or 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 during the heat of the day. Talstar P should be applied every 30 days for optimum control. Please see our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more tips.

    Q
    Will Talstar P (Talstar One) kill gnats & roaches?
    I started getting an infestation of gnats this spring. I have tried everything from foggers to home remedies. The gnats are in my basement/garage. There is a lot of dirt areas around the perimeter inside the garage area. It cannot be removed. (Old house, 1920). Anyway, please help me!
    A

    Yes, Talstar P (Talstar One) is labeled for gnats and roaches. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This can be sprayed around the perimeter of your home, on trees, bushes, broadcast across your lawn, etc. It cannot be sprayed on any type of edibles or area where animals would graze.

    We would also recommend mixing the Talstar P (Talstar One) with Gentrol IGR. This will stop the roaches from reproducing for up to four months.

    Q
    Is there a way to deter horse flies? We get alot of them by our pool.
    A
    Horseflies and many other species of biting flies tend to develop on the edge of bodies of water and since they are strong fliers these breeding areas can be near or far which makes finding the source next to impossible. You can apply a product such as Talstar P around the pool area and flies that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Using Talstar will give some relief but since these flies can fly over treated areas it can be tough to get complete control. Relief should be on the way soon however as horsefly season is usually on 3-6 weeks long

    Q
    Will Talstar P treat stink and lady bugs or is the overwintering product better?
    A

    Yes, Talstar P is labeled for stink bugs and lady bugs. The mixing ratio is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This will be used to spray around baseboards, cracks and crevices.

    The Overwintering Kit is an excellent combination of products that protects you during your winter months with an insecticide and a dust. We generally do recommend at least using a dust with any other product, such as Talstar P, that you are using. The pests come in contact with it and dry out. This is an added protection to consider using throughout the year.
