    Q
    Can Talstar P be used effectively from a backpack fogger?
    A
    Talstar can be used in a backpack sprayer or a mist blower like the Solo 451 but it cannot be used in any type of fogging equipment. Please take a look at our Fogging Concentrates to see if any of these might be more suited to your application needs.

    Q
    I need a product for indoors and outdoors, safe for pets in the house, kill roaches, spiders, beetles & ants?
    Is there one product that will work for indoors and outdoors. Is safe for pets (once product is dry) and will kill spiders, roaches, beetles, "pincher bugs" and ants.
    A
    You could use a product like Talstar P as this is a very safe product to use, will dry clear and has no odor, and will cover all the insects you mention and many more. It can be used indoors around baseboards and cracks and crevices and outdoors on pretty much any surface with the exception of edible vegetation. Spray the Talstar 2 feet up around the foundation of the home and 2-3 feet out on the ground and around all entry points like window and door frames, and around pipes that enter the home. Once the product has dried you, your children and pets can re-enter the area with normal activity.

  • Asked by Jody from Midvale Ut
    06/12/2013
    Q
    I am looking for a concentrated chemical that I can mix and put in my own sprayer.
    I want it to kill almost every kind of bug and insect, out side and inside. I don't have kids or animals to worry about. What is your best stuff?
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests. Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules.

    Q
    Does the liquid reactivate once it gets wet again after the initial application dries?
    A
    The Talstar stays active after it dries so it does not need to get wet to effectively control the insects. Indoors it will last up to 90 days and outdoors it can typically hold up to the outdoor elements for 30 days at least.

    Q
    How do I get rid of what looks to be springtails in my tub and back door?
    A
    Please check out our article "How to get Rid of Springtails" for a play by play for treating springtails. You REALLY want to make sure you are using a residual insecticide like Talstar P along the cracks and crevices, paying close attention to areas that may contain moisture. You also want to use a dust like Delta dust in wall voids.

    Q
    Talstar P- When to spray and what to wear?
    When is the optimal time to spray Talstar P and do I need to wear a respirator when applying the product? Also, How long does it take to dry?
    A
    You should wear long sleeves, long pants and socks and shoes when using Talstar P. If you are sensitive you may also consider wearing gloves. A respirator should be used if you are spraying in non-vented areas. You can spray anytime though we do recommend you avoid spraying plants during the sunniest parts of the day because the liquid can magnify the sunlight and cause scorching. Talstar P is water based and will take as long as water would take to dry on any surface, usually about an hour or two.

    Q
    I have Talstar P and have used Ortho Bug-B-Gon, can I use that hose end sprayer and how much do I put in?
    I figured about 1/3 teaspoon, am I close or way off?
    A
    You can use Talstar P in a hose end sprayer as long as the hose end sprayer can be calibrated to spray the correct usage rate as specified on the product label. Most folks use the 1 oz of product to 1 gallon of product rate for outdoor insect control.

  • Asked by Ricky from Nc
    06/25/2013
    Q
    Can I use Talstar P in garden for bug control on plants ?
    A
    Talstar cannot be used directly on vegetables or fruits that are going to be consumed. We do carry several products that can be used on edible vegetation such as Sevin and Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10%. Always read the product label of the product you select to make sure it is labeled for the plant you want to spray and for the pest you are trying to eliminate. The product labels are available for each product on our site and you can see the product label links on each individual product page

    Q
    Is Talstar 100 EC the same as Talstar 7.9?
    Talstar 100 EC appears to be for agricultural use, whereas 7.9 is not. This relates to inadvertent mist on vegetable garden of 7.9.
    A
    You will need to contact FMC to find out if any harmful effects will come of the mist of the Talstar P. We do not carry Talstar 100 EC so we cannot comment on the difference between the two and how they effect vegetation differently. You can reach FMC at 1-800-321-1362.

  • Asked by Steve from Athens, Tx
    06/30/2013
    Q
    Do you recommend using Merit 75, Talstar P or Talstar PL for chinch bug control in St Augustine grass?
    The problem is in Bermuda and St. Augustine. I live in East Texas. Would you recommend Talstar or Merit75? If you recommend Talstar, would you recommend liquid or granules? Thank you for any help!
    A

    Talstar granules are one of the most effective chinch bug treatments on the market. Chinch bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Irrigate the treated area with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide. Chinch bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher applications rates will be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer. It may also be necessary to remove the thatch layer if it exceeds 1 inch in thickness to allow the Talstar to penetrate down to the soil.

    If you have a few small spots the St. Augustine runners might fill it in this season (of course water, fertilizer, and lots of sunshine helps). If large portions of the lawn were damaged it will likely be late spring or later of next year before the lawn recovers. Very heavily damaged areas may need to be resodded.

    Q
    Help, with outside pest control?
    I just bought 2 acres of heavily wooded property and where we live fleas, flies, ticks, snakes,mosquitoes and spiders are a problem basically everything crawly its the woods what can or should I spray outside to make sure my children don't get "eat up" by anything and everything the pest listed are some of mine main concerns
    A
    For the insect control we would recommend Talstar P. Talstar P is a Multi-Insecticide with bifenthrin is one of the most trusted and widely-used insecticides by pest control professionals today. The name Talstar P/Talstar One means one professional solution for everything: Talstar insecticide kills over 75 insect pests and can be used for indoor pest control, outdoor pest control, food handling areas, turf and ornamental treatments, in the yard as a yard spray to treat fleas or other yard pests, and even for termite control! Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it. Plus, Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall. For snake control we recommend using Snake away which is a repellent. Make sure though that you leave one side of the treated area open so that any snakes can leave the area you are treating.

    We don't have any still water in the backyard, we keep it as clean as we can but still getting tiger mosquito bites all day long and at night too. Please help. Thank you.
    A

    We recommend using Talstar P to treat those types of mosquito's. You can apply Talstar P inside, outside in your lawn around trees shrubs and ornamentals. Please be sure to treat the undersides of leaves on trees and shrubs, and leave debris as these areas attract mosquito's.

  • Asked by Michael from Mobile, Alabama
    07/05/2013
    Q
    Can I mix a stronger solution of Talstar P?
    I'm renovating a home and have seen a few of those larger roaches (maybe palmetto bugs or American cockroaches?) dead in various places in the home. For the initial application, would it be of any benefit to mix a stronger Talstar P solution, say 1.5 oz to 1 gallon water? Or does a stronger solution not work any better than the recommended 1 oz to 1 gallon? Thanks. Great website!
    A
    Thank you! We do not recommend to mix any higher a dosage than what the products label instructs. This could cause a resistance issue down the road if the product is over applied. We recommend mixing Talstar P at a rate of 1fl oz per one gallon of water.
