  • Asked by Diana from Glen Arm, Md
    06/15/2013
    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.

  • Asked by Ari from Boca Raton, Fl

    Q
    What is the mixing ratio for dry wood termites using Talstar P (Talstar One)?
    I have active termites coming through ceiling in one closet, annual issue.
    A

     

    According to the Talstar P product label, you will need to use 1 oz of Talster per gallon of water and then apply at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet of trench. You will need to calculate how many linear feet you have around the structure you wish to treat to find out how much Talstar you will need to purchase. Please take a few minutes to read over our termite article How to do a Termite Treatment so you will have a better understanding of what may be required for the treatment process. Drywood termites require treatment with a product such as Bora-Care. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Drywood Termites for additional tips.

  • Asked by Thom
    05/22/2018
    Q
    What product is best for killing ticks outside?
    A

    Talstar P mixed with an Insect Growth regulator such as Nyguard IGR would be a good choice for tick control. Talstar P would work to kill ticks that come into contact with treated surfaces while the Nyguard would work to help stop juvenile ticks from reaching sexual maturity. We recommend using  the highest usage rate of 1 oz Talstar  and 1 oz of Nyguard IGR per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Kyle from Govols, Tn
    06/22/2018
    Q
    Can Talstar P be tank mixed with a soluble fertilzer formulation, and foliar application to Knockout Roses?
    I have knockout rose beds that are difficult to access once the roses are in spring growth. I need to control adult Japanese beetles that are actively feeding on the roses. My only choice is foliar treatment for both insecticides and fertilization. It would save time if I could perfom beetle treatment and foliar fertilization in one application. Also, is this the best product for foliar application treatment of adult Japanese Beetles on roses?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Joam from Shelby, Nc
    12/31/2018
    Q
    Can I kill carpenter ants in an outside all wood building using Talstar P?
    I am not able to do drilling and need something that is effective, easy and not to costly.
    A

    Talstar P can be used to kill carpenter ants that are sprayed directly or which contact the residual spray. However, Talstar P will not transfer throughout an ant colony to kill the entire colony. If you are finding carpenter ants trailing indoors, then we recommend our Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit, which includes two different baits, refillable bait stations, and a residual spray with two active ingredients. If the ants are in a wall void and you are unable to bait for them, then another great option is applying a ready-to-use non-repellent foam such as FUSE Foam into the wall void where the nest is. Please refer to our online Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more tips.

    Q
    What surfactant would you use with Talstar P?
    We live in a wet part of Hawaii and we would like to spray the perimeter of our house for centipedes.
    A

    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.
