    Q
    Filling measuring reservoir on Talstar P 3/4 gallon bottle
    I've used the quart-size Talstar P container and now have the 3/4 gallon bottle of Talstar P. How do I fill the measuring reservoir on the larger bottle? Do I squeeze, tip the bottle, or?
    A
    The 3/4 gallon of Talstar comes with a tip and pour measuring device. This means that you simply tip the bottle towards the measuring device and fill to the correct line for your usage.

    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.

  • Asked by Sherry from Mobile, Al
    05/10/2013
    Q
    Does Talstar do an adequate job of killing mole crickets?
    A

    Yes, Talstar P does a fantastic job treating mole crickets.

    Mole Cricket adults:Achieving acceptable control of adult mole crickets is difficult because preferred grass areas are subject to continuous invasion during the early spring by this extremely active stage. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate
    before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized. Grass areas that receive pressure from adult mole crickets should be treated at peak egg hatch to ensure optimum control of subsequent nymph populations (see below).

    Mole Cricket nymphs: Grass areas that received intense adult mole cricket pressure in the spring should be treated immediately prior to peak egg hatch. Optimal control is achieved at this time because young nymphs are more susceptible to insecticides and they are located near the soil surface where the insecticide is most concentrated. Control of larger, more damaging, nymphs later in the
    year may require both higher application rates and more frequent applications to maintain acceptable control. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized.

    Q
    Best product for spiders?
    I live in Arkansas and in my apartment I constantly get all kinds of spiders on a daily (mostly at night). As an example, tonight in the past hour I have killed 4 spiders and the night isn't over... and this happens every single night now for over a year. Is there anything aside from direct spray on type insecticides that will kill quickly and something that also might be like a barrier that they will avoid to try and limit the amount coming in? I ordered roach killer from you guys made by DuPont and wow.. one application and I havent seen a single one in MONTHS! So hope you can help with this spider issue.
    A
    That is awesome news that you were able to control the roaches! For treatment of spiders, you can definitely use Talstar P. Talstar is odorless, dries clear and will treat spiders, including brown recluse. Talstar acts as a residual and will make a barrier. Please let us know id you have any other questions.

    Q
    What if a pet (Cat or Dog) eats a bug that has been killed with Talstar P?
    Will a cat from a kitten to adult size or a small dog get sick or die from ingesting an insect that has been killed by this spray? Say a carpenter ant or something?
    A
    Talstar P (Talstar One) is one of our best sellers for all around pest control. Talstar kills over 75 insect pests and can be used for indoor pest control, outdoor pest control, has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it, is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, won't break down easily with rainfall and is safe to use around pets. Be sure animals are out of the area while Talstar is being applied and then they can return as soon as the area is dry. Talstar is only designed to kill small insects. Your pet would need to ingest tons and tons of treated insects to have an effect on him/her. If you still have concerns, please contact FMC 800-321-1362

    Q
    What to use to kill digger wasps that come in May and gone in June?
    They make many holes in the earth with mounds of soil around them in the lawn and garden. They do not seem to sting. They look like a small brown bee.
    A
    It sounds like they could possibly be Cicada Killers. To treat Cicada Killers, you can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps. For current infestations, you would need to use Delta dust in each individual burrow. Using a residual like Talstar P will also kill them when they come in contact with the treated areas.
