Talstar P is applied at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water per 1000 sq. ft. for June bugs. You can apply monthly outdoors and every 90 days indoors.
Talstar will kill any wasp, bee, or hornet that comes into contact with a treated area. Keep in mind that this is not a contact kill product, so it can take up to 24 hours for an insect to die after contacting a treated surface. You can also use a product like Wasp Freeze as a contact kill. If you know where any of the nests are located, you can use Wasp Freeze to treat those directly as well. It is best to apply any insecticides in the early morning or evening when the wasps/bees/hornets are least active.
Yes, Talstar P can be used in either a mist blower or a pump sprayer.
No, Talstar is not labeled to be used around ponds, lakes or other water sources. We recommend using EcoVia EC ,which is labeled for use on a wide range of flying and crawling insects.
EcoVia EC can safely be applied in and around homes, businesses, near and over water such as boat docks and pool areas without harming aquatic life, as well as numerous other areas. Please follow label instructions for your target pest and application.
Talstar P is our most popular product for general pest control. It is labeled for over 75 different pests and can be used indoors and outdoors. It is safe for cats and other pets if used as directed. Cats need to be kept out of the area during application and until all surfaces are dry. It is fine for them to return to the area once it is dry.
Talstar P can be tank mixed as long as both product labels are followed for rates. Talstar is a great product to use for beetles, just avoid spraying the blooms to prevent burning/harm.
Yes, you will use 1oz of Talstar per gallon of water, and apply to your lawn for armyworms. For best results, delay watering or mowing for at least 24 hours after application.
Talstar P is labeled to treat for termites and lasts for about 5 years in the ground and works as a repellent, killing only those insects that come into contact with the treated area. A better option for subterranean termites non repellent termiticide such as Termidor SC or Dominion 2L. Termidor will last up to to 10 years in the soil and Dominion 2L will last 5-7 years. Non repellents work slower but much more effectively when treating a termite colony as they are able to be transferred thorought the entire colony therefore eventually elimating the colony. Talstar P will only repel the termites, not kill the entire colony.
Yes, Talstar P is toxic to honey bees. We recommend to avoid blooming plants and/or treat early in the morning or late in the evening when beneficial insects are not active.
It is not usually required to use a surfactant with Talstar P but adding one will increase the effectiveness and help it stick to waxy leaves better. The Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker would be a great choice.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide cannot be applied on animals. Permethrin SFR can be used on cattle for flies.
Talstar P is labeled for spider control, however, it can be toxic to bees if they're sprayed directly or if they land on the residual. It is not harmful to birds but it is recommended to keep them and all animals out of the area while making an application. Once the application is completely dry, it's safe. If you prefer to spray something that will be non-toxic to bees once it's dry, you can use Mavrik Perimeter.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide is labeled safe for ornamental trees such as spruce trees for listed pests.
Yes. Fish and aquatic invertebrates share many of the same biological characteristics as insects making them susceptible to insecticides. Talstar P's product label has these precautions:
"This pesticide is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and run-off from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Care should be used when spraying to avoid fish and reptile pets in/around ornamental ponds"
Use a 0.06% dilution of Talstar P (1 fluid oz. per gallon of water) for bedbug control. A thorough application should be made to crack and crevices where evidence of bed bugs occurs. This includes bed frames, box springs, inside empty dressers and clothes closets and carpet edges,high and low wall moldings and wallpaper edges. Do not use this product on bed linens, pillows, mattresses or clothes. Remove all clothes and other articles from dressers or clothes closets before application. Allow all treated areas to thoroughly dry before use. Not recommended for use as sole protection against bedbugs. If evidence of bedbugs is found in/on mattresses, use products approved for this use such as Bedlam aerosol and Protect-A-Bed mattress, boxspring and pillow encasements
