    Q
    Can Talstar be sprayed around baseboards in carpeted rooms?
    Can Talstar be sprayed around baseboards in carpeted rooms? If so, is it recommended to do so as part of my indoor periodic pest control?
    A
    Talstar can be sprayed along baseboards in carpeted rooms. It is not meant to be applied as a broadcast over carpets, more crack and crevices. Baseboards are fine, as it will dry clear.

    Q
    Difference between Talstar P and Dominion 2L?
    What is the difference between this product and Dominion 2L? How long does it take to kill an insect that comes in contact with this?
    A

    Talstar P is a great general use insecticide that can be used both inside and outside for over 75 different pests.  It only kills the insects that contact a treated surface. Dominion 2L is a non repellent termiticide that can also be used a systemic insecticide for the listed pests.  Dominion will help to eliminate more than just want contacts a treated surface or treated soil, social insects will crawl over the product without detecting it, and spread it to each other by touch and food sharing, eventually eliminating the entire infestation.

    How long it takes the insects to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the insect and type of insect as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die

  • Asked by Heather from Union, Mo
    12/14/2015
    Q
    When using Talstar with an IGR, why do the roaches become deformed but don't die?
    We have asked several chemical companies this question and no one can give us an answer. We use Talstar Pro mixed with Nyguard on our roach job accounts. Why is it that the roaches will become deformed from the IGR but will not die from the Talstar when the chemicals are used together? It puzzles us.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is not an instant kill for roaches so it will take time to eliminate them with the product and an IGR. The roaches also have to come in contact with the area that is treated with Talstar P. If you are not seeing success with this product and have been using it for a while, we would recommend using a product with a different active ingredient, such as Demand CS. We would also recommend adding a roach bait gel to your treatment program, if you are not already using one. Please see our Roach Treatment Guide for more information and tips.

  • Asked by Jaymarie from Nashville, Tn
    03/21/2016
    Q
    Can Talstar P be used to control bagworms?
    What is the best mix ratio and method for controlling bagworms? Can Talstar be applied with a hose-end sprayer?
    A

    Talstar P is the #1 recommended product for bagworm control.  You will need to use 1 oz. of Talstar per gallon of water.  Applications should start in April and continue monthly through June. Be sure foliage is sprayed thoroughly to the point of runoff to achieve adequate coverage.  Talstar can be applied with a hose end sprayer, but it is best to use a hand pump sprayer if possible to ensure the most even coverage.

  • Asked by Luis from El Paso
    06/08/2016
    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with another insecticide like Suspend SC in one tank?
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Suspend SC and Talstar P together.  Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Suspend SC already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

    Q
    What time of day is most effective to spray Talstar P outside to kill mosquitos?
    I'm using a Stihl AR200 back
    A

    We recommend applying Talstar anytime of the day EXCEPT during the middle of the day.  The key with mosquitoes is to apply to the underside of the leaves as that is where the adults lay during the day.

    Q
    Can you tank mix Talstar with an herbicide?
    A

    You can mix Talstar P with an herbicide as long as there are no restrictions on the label for the other product that you are using. We recommend performing a small jar test for compatibility any time you are using two new products together for the first time. Be mindful that you are only applying your herbicide in the correct areas.

  • 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 P and Talstar PL be used together for springtails?
    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.

  • Asked by Karen

    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.
