    Q
    Talstar P (Talstar One)safe for pets after it has dried. What about after it rains, the grass is wet again
    Do I have to keep the dog off the grass after a rain?
    A
    Yes. Talstar P can be safely used around pets as long as you follow the label instructions; all pets need to be out of the area while application is being made and they can return as soon as the application is dry. As long as the area has had time to dry before a rain it will not "reactivate".

    Q
    Is Talstar P the best way to kill fungus gnats and keep them from returning?
    Our 'yard' is roughly 1/2 acre in size and there is one 20'x20' wet spot that rarely dries. There is a second area(a swale) that sometimes collects some rain water as well.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is a great product to use for fungus gnat control. It is to be used inside and outside the home, but will only kill the adults as the larvae is protected in its egg form much like a chicken egg is protected until cracked. To control the larvae you would need to mix the NyGuard IGR (birth control) in with the Talstar. NyGuard is labeled for fungus gnats as well as a large variety of other insects to sterilize the adults from being able to lay viable larvae. This will control the population drastically in keeping new ones from developing. You should mix 1 ounce of Talstar P with 4 ml of NyGuard IGR to each gallon of water you use. Talstar P can be used as a broadcast over the entire lawn or just as a perimeter treatment. You will want to focus on the mulch bed area and the underside of shrubs, bushes, or trees in the area. It is completely safe to spray on ornamentals. In the garage area, spray as crack and crevice and focus on damp areas/reducing the water/moisture. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

  • Asked by Jim from Montgomery
    03/14/2019
    Q
    Is Talstar P Insecticide safe around birds?
    A

    For outdoor use the Talstar P will be safe for animals of all kinds once dry. For indoor use if you have pet birds, we recommend removing the birds from the home while you treat and for at least 4-6 hours to give plenty of time for the product to dry and air out. Birds are more sensitive to chemicals and smells so keeping them out of the treatment areas for longer than pets like dogs and cats is recommended. If you have any safety concerns regarding its use around your birds please take info on the product to your birds vet for consultation.

    Will Talstar kill baby giant Florida grasshoppers?
    These are also known as Lubbers- my information says they can be killed with certain insecticides, but only a few. This is a large property, and our exterminator recommended this product, but it's an expensive process which we don't mind paying for if it will be effective. They're still babies.

    Q
    What is the best product to treat 1 acre for mosquitoes, ticks and flea control that I can do myself?
    A

    An insecticide like Talstar P would be a great option for you for all of these pests, along with many others.  It is recommended to also use an insect growth regulator (IGR) like Archer IGR for fleas and ticks to stop them from reproducing.  Both of these products can be applied with a hand pump sprayer.  You may also want to look over our Pest Prevention Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Sandra from Las Vegas
    06/03/2018
    Q
    How much Talstar P do I need to use?
    If 1 diluted gallon covers 1000 square feet, and my house is 4500 square feet with guest house of 2000 square feet on 1.25 acre of land: How much diluted product would be needed to spray both houses and the land? Do I spray inside only on the perimeter of each room and outside around perimeter of houses? Do I spray all of the land area or only in the perimeter of the lot?
    A

    Talstar P is mixed at the rate of 0.5 to 1.0 fl oz per gallon of water, so a gallon of the Talstar will make about 128 to 256 gallons of solution and will  last up to 90 days depending on where it is applied.  Each finished gallon of solution covers approx 1000 sq. ft.  Inside applications are limited to just cracks and crevices, along baseboards etc.  Outside you would apply 2 to 3 feet up and out around the home, around window and door frames, and other potential entry points.  You can choose to spray the lawn for further protection or just around the perimeter.  Please refer to the product label for complete instructions on any target pest.

  • Asked by Don from Carrol County Miss.
    01/07/2019
    Q
    Is Talstar P a good and longest lasting product that will kill pine beetles and bark beetles?
    A

    We generally recommend using a pyrethroid such as Talstar P Professional Insecticide or Permethrin SFR as a preventative treatment in late spring/summer before egg hatch to protect trees. If trees are badly infested, then they should be removed and either chipped or burned.

    Keep in mind that trees which become infested with bark beetles are almost always susceptible due to some other existing weakness such as drought or disease.

  • Asked by Frederick
    04/14/2010
    Q
    What is the difference between Phantom and Talstar P?
    A

    Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect and is especially useful for insects that are social or extra sensitive like ants, roaches or bedbugs. Talstar P on the other hand will have a faster knockdown rate and is a bit more versatile as it can be used in more areas and for a wider variety of insects. When trying to decide which insecticide to use you need to know: 1. What are you trying to eliminate? 2. What areas need to be treated? After you answer those questions, read the product labels to make sure the pest and the treatment area are both listed. If you still need help deciding you can call us at 866-581-7378.

    Q
    Is it safe to eat herbs that were sprayed with Talstar One?
    It was not sprayed directly on but I saw spray go through the air onto this area. Should we not eat the herbs now? Would it be best to cover the herbs with plastic for future sprayings?
    A
    No, the herbs should not be eaten. Talstar is not labeled to spray on edible vegetation and the effects of eating food products contaminated by the insecticide are not known. We would definitely recommend covering the herbs in the future to prevent contamination.

    Can Talstar PL granules with 7.9% Bifenthrin be used together with Talstar P Liquid with 7.9% Bifenthrin? Is this good for springtails? We have purchased Suspend and
    A
    Talstar P and Talstar PL work very well springtails and they can be used in the same areas. Springtails can be tough to control. You must find the moisture source and correct it to get rid of springtails completely.

    Q
    Are there any adverse effects to birds when using Talstar One?
    I have new tenants moving into my rental property and they have various indoor birds. I have a service that sprays the exterior of the house on a regular basis with Talstar One. With summer coming up, the tenants are concerned about the effect on the birds if they were to leave the windows open when the outside of the house is being treated. Is this product going to have any adverse effect on the birds? Thank you
    A
    While we do not think the Talstar would hurt the birds, sometimes it is just a matter of perception. Basically if someone thinks the product is likely to hurt their beloved pet, they may think any health issues the pet has in the days, weeks, months following the application is because of the insecticide. We recommend closing the windows while the exterior treatments are being done and then opening them after the application has dried in order to avoid any issues. Talstar is odorless, dries clear and is known to be one of the safest insecticides to use around people and animals.

    Q
    What is the best thing to use to get rid of white flies?
    A
    Talstar P is our most popular product for white fly. It is important to spray the underside of the leaves on infested plants for effective control. Heavily infested leaves should be plucked off the plant and tossed in a bucket of soapy water.

    Q
    I currently use Cyonara 9.7. How does Talstar P compare to Cyonara 9.7?
    A
    The Talstar P and the Cyonara 9.7 are both great products and are very comparable for general pest control. Talstar P is very gentle on plants and is odorless. If you have a bedbug problem or need a faster knockdown Cyonara 9.7 would be a better choice. Our recommendation here at DoMyOwnPestControl.com is if the product is working well for you, stick with it.

    Q
    Does Talstar P work on killing the brown marmorated stink bug?
    This seemingly useless creature is a real pest. Please help! Thanks very much
    A
    Talstar P will kill stinkbugs. You should dilute one ounce of Talstar P per gallon of water. You will use a hand pump sprayer to apply the solution on all door frames, window frames, areas where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure, a band of soil 6 to 10 feet adjacent to the structure, also to a height of 2 to 3 feet on the foundation where pests may be active or may find entrance. As the stink bugs crawl over the treated area, they will receive a lethal does of the insecticide and usually die within a few hours. You should treat every month starting in August and ending in November for best results.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used inside a house for stink bugs? We have pets.
    A
    Yes. Keep Talstar P applications to cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room, door frames, window frames and other areas where you see stinkbugs emerging. Be sure pets are out of the area while you are applying Talstar P, and they can return as soon as the product is dry.
