    Q
    How do I get rid of the cloudy window effect yet maintain coverage for stink bugs?
    I live in NY and sprayed around all the windows including the screens & doors. I had the pump sprayer set on mist yet now all the windows have dried looking cloudy and are no longer nice and clear. I used the recommended 1 ounce to 1 gallon. How can I get the windows clean again without losing the protection against the coming stink bug attack in the fall? Please advise & thank you in advance.
    A
    We recommend that you only spray around the edges of the window frame to avoid wasting the product. Stink bugs will come in around the edges of the window so it is not effective in the middle of the window. The windows can be cleaned. The correct amount is Talstar P (Talstar One) is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Can you spray trees in the early spring that have caterpillars in them?
    Would you be able to make a dilution to be used in a pressure washer to reach high trees?
    A
    You can start spraying when the caterpillars are young for best results. We recommend using the 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water ratio for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. As for using it in the pressure washer, we really cannot give any advice on that type of application as most insecticide (if not all) are not labeled for use in pressure washer.

    The Talstar P product label allows you to use 1/4 fl oz - 1 fl oz per gallon of water for indoor and outdoor spraying.

    Q
    I used the max amount of 1 oz of Talstar P to one gallon of water. If I were to use 2 oz. per gallon, would it work even better?
    A
    No, it would not.  The homeowner way of thinking is usually that more is better, but keep in mind that these are professional products and are much stronger already than over the counter products.  Talstar P works so well at 1 ounce per gallon, that applying more than that really is just wasting money and product.  You will typically not see any better results by doing this.

    Q
    How can I control gnats in my yard?
    We sit outside and they bite all over, and I tried yard guard and it works some.
    A
    There are a few ways to keep the number of gnats down. You can invest in a misting system that periodically sprays a pyrethrin insecticide in your yard. This system is a lot like a sprinkler system. We do not carry the actual mister system but we do carry the insecticide that is used in it called Riptide. If you want to get something you can just spray you can try Talstar P. Gnats that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Talstar P will not repel the gnats from the area nor will it kill the gnats that do not land on the treated areas.

  • Asked by Matt from Md

    Q
    Talstar mixed with Trimec, Tenacity, Drive, fertilizer, etc
    I would like to tank mix the following in a 35 gallon sprayer in the appropriate amounts for my 1 acre yard, Talstar, fertilizer, tenacity, DyneAmic, & blue marker in the early spring. And then Talstar, fertilizer, trimec, drive, DyneAmic. and blue marker in the summer and fall. I *think* from reading labels and Q&A here, that these mixes are acceptable and 35 gallons of water is enough to not have anything be too hot. This mix in this tank towed behind my tractor should (I think) cover my entire yard, which is about 38,000 SqFt. There seems to be a few Q&As that say never to mix insecticides with other treatments. But then there are lots that say it's fine.
    A

    There are typically no issues mixing different kinds of sprays together, such as an insecticide and fertilizer or fertilizer with herbicide. We always recommend doing a small jar test for compatability when mixing any products together for the first time, unless the product labels expressly address the tank mix you are using.

    There are two things I would caution you against with these mixtures. One is if you are using herbicides for your turfgrass and wanting to use an insecticide for mosquito control at the same time. For mosquito control, you want to use a product like Talstar P on ornamental shrubs, tree branches, etc.; however, you should not spray post-emergent herbicides like Drive, Tenacity, or Trimec on these areas since those herbicides would damage your ornamental plants.

    We would also be careful about mixing more than 2 herbicides at one time since this could cause extra stress on your turfgrass.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Is Talstar an effective product for lily beetles and how long will it protect the lilies after application?
    if this product will provide effective protection, is it in any way harmful to pollinators once dry?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for beetles and is safe for use on lilies, as well as other ornamentals. The residual is 30 days outdoors. It is recommended that you spray when pollinators are not active, either in the early morning or late evening. The mixing rate is 1 fl oz per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Jordan from St Michael, Mn
    05/16/2017
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with TZone (weed killer) to apply at the same time?
    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. 

    Talstar P is able to be tank mixed according the label but since we do not carry T-Zone Weed Killer, we cannot confirm the tank mix compatability.

    Q
    Can you mix Talstar P and Pivot IGR with an essential oil like lemon eucalyptus? I am using a backpack mister.
    A

    We couldn't state whether it would be effective or safe to use an essential oil in with a tank mix of Talstar P or any other insecticide as this has not been tested for efficacy or compatibility. It is recommended not doing so unless both products labels state tank mixing with another chemical can be done.
