    Q
    What is the best and longest lasting mosquito product?
    I live in Southwest Louisiana and we have had a lot of rain lately thus a bad outbreak of the little bloodsuckers. I need a product that is not going to disappear after the first rainfall?
    A

    Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using any hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer.  The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio you are trying to provide relief at.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.  Best of all it will not harm any birds in the area.

    Q
    Black vine weevil control, Talstar?
    Have severe infestation of what appears to be black vine weevils that covers a large part of the area, and it is getting worse every year. They are eating the forsythia, golden vicary privet, mums, and coral bells, to the point that some are totally denuded. I read that Talstar may provide control. Is this true, and if so are there any special application techniques required?
    A
    Talstar is labeled for treatment of weevils and many of our customers have cited success with Talstar for weevils.  The product label calls for half an ounce per gallon of water, and this should be applied over 1000 square feet.  There are not really any special instructions other then to cover all foliage completely including the base and trunks of the plants.

    Q
    Which spray product should I use? I want to replace my pest control service.
    I don't have a insect problem. It's more of a preventative service every 6 months.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P to treat red spider mites on my burning bushes?
    A
    Talstar P does work for spider mites and can be used on most non-edible plants. We do recommend that you spray a small portion of one of the plants and then wait a couple of days to make sure there is no damage before proceeding with the treatment.

    Can Talstar P be used to control Zimmerman Pine Moth?
    A
    Talstar P would be a good choice for Zimmerman Pine Moth control. Most treatments for Zimmerman Pine Moths should be done mid April - August (depending on your region) to eliminate active larvae on the tree trunk before they enter the tree.

    Q
    I have a caterpillar eating the top of a blue spruce tree. What product do you recommend to kill them?
    The tree is about 7 feet tall and the caterpillar or worms are all over.
    A
    It is important to have the caterpillar identified so that we can make the best product recommendation for your needs. Without the exact identification we would recommend Talstar P as it is a broad spectrum insecticide that can be sprayed on blue spruce trees.

    Q
    Grasshoppers, plague proportions, what's the recommended product?
    I would like to use a hose end sprayer with the water hose. I see the video of a gallon jug - being used only around the edges and crevises. I've got to cover the entire ground.
    A
    You can use Talstar P to cover non fruit bearing trees, lawns, bushes, shrubs and other areas excluding edible vegetation. Talstar P can be used in a hose end sprayer and should be diluted 1 fl oz per gallon of water for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual for grasshopper control.

  • Asked by Roland from Santa Fe Tx, Galveston County

    Q
    What should I use for a heavy infection spidermites in 20 ft tall junipers?
    junipers 20ft tall how to best controll galveston tx.
    A
    Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. Talstar provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid- to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar. Talstar applications may be rotated with those of other products  that have different modes of action in control programs that are designed  to manage resistance by two-spotted spider mites. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for resistance management recommendations in your region.

  • Asked by Hiya from Portland, Oregon
    07/11/2012
    Q
    Can Talstar get tracked into the home?
    This product leaves a dry residual (which obviously then sticks to & kills bugs) and is also recommended for spraying around doorframes. Thus the dry residue will get stepped on when people come & go through the door, and so it seems at least some product will definitely get tracked into the house. This seems to be a possible health concern, as it will then get further tracked onto rugs/furniture/etc, where it is NOT supposed to be applied. Is this reasoning correct?
    A
    No. Talstar does not get stuck to bugs as you described. Talstar will bind to the surface on which it has been sprayed and insects must be on treated areas for a certain length of time to receive a lethal dose. That is why the Talstar P label recommends that you spray the product directly into areas where insects harbor and travel and that broad areas are treated around the home.

  • Asked by Cathy from Hayden, Al
    10/23/2014
    Q
    Looking for something to kill spiders, roaches, ants, etc?
    Need something to spray the outside perimeter of a building. Also need something safe to spray in an area where there are children (church nursery).
    A

    Talstar P is a great general purpose insecticide that is labeled for over 75 types of insects that can be used indoors and outdoors. Talstar P has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it. Plus, Talstar P is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

    Talstar P leaves a 30 day residual outside and a 90 day residual inside. Mix 1oz of Talstar P per gallon of water in a hand pump sprayer for best application.

    Inside the building, apply as a coarse, low pressure, crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas.

    Outside the home or building, general application for crawling pests - Mix 0.5 or 1 oz. of Talstar P in one gallon of water and apply to the outside foundation of the building, approx. 3 feet up the side of the house and 2 feet out from the building. Also spray entry points into the home such as around windows, pipes, doorways, etc. For general preventative treatment, apply Talstar P once every 3 months.

  • Asked by R from Indianapolis, In
    03/05/2015
    Q
    Is Talstar as safe as the pyrethrum products claim to be?
    Would like to use safer products now that we have kiddos.
    A
    Talstar P can be safely used around pets and children as long as you follow the label instructions; all pets and children need to be out of the area while application is being made and they can return as soon as the application is dry. Talstar is none irratating if it touches the skin, but is not recommended to be around until it has dried. Talstar will not harm babies if the product label is followed. Unless other wise noted, the pesticides on our website are safe to use in a home with children. As with any product, it is important to follow the label instructions and precautions to ensure safety. Talstar P is non-irritating, non-staining and contains no odorous or plant-damaging solvents. It's even labeled for food-handling area.
