There are typically no issues mixing different kinds of sprays together, such as an insecticide and fertilizer or fertilizer with herbicide. We always recommend doing a small jar test for compatability when mixing any products together for the first time, unless the product labels expressly address the tank mix you are using.
There are two things I would caution you against with these mixtures. One is if you are using herbicides for your turfgrass and wanting to use an insecticide for mosquito control at the same time. For mosquito control, you want to use a product like Talstar P on ornamental shrubs, tree branches, etc.; however, you should not spray post-emergent herbicides like Drive, Tenacity, or Trimec on these areas since those herbicides would damage your ornamental plants.
We would also be careful about mixing more than 2 herbicides at one time since this could cause extra stress on your turfgrass.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
A mask is not required to apply Talstar P if you are applying in a well-venitlated area. If you are applying in a small, confined space with poor ventilation, you can use something like the N95 Valved Respirator Mask. Please be advised that we are only able to ship within the U.S. at this time.
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.
It is usually recommended to clean a sprayer by triple rinsing with clean water. You can also use a tank cleaner.
Talstar P does not provide an instant knockdown of pests, rather, pests pick up the residual active ingredient by contact. It works by disrupting an insect's nervous system, causing a weakened state followed by death.
Talstar P is safe to use around chickens and livestock as long as the animals aren’t grazing in the treated areas. After the application, you need to wait until the area is completely dry before letting the animals back onto the treated areas.
In most cases, Talstar P can be mixed with a herbicide as long as the mixing instructions on both product labels are followed. It is recommended to do a small jar test first to be sure that the products are compatible.
No, Talstar P Professional Insecticide is not harmful to pregnant women, pets, or kids if used as directed on the product label. We would suggest staying out of the treated area until the application has fully dried.
We would suggest treating the potted plant with Talstar P for ant control. Mix rate would be 0.5 to 1.0 fl oz per gallon of water. You can treat the soil and foliage of the plant.
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 should not be applied to hogs or horses. It is safe to use around livestock as long as the animals aren’t grazing in the treated areas. After the application, you need to wait until the area is completely dry before letting the animals back onto the non-grazing treated areas.
Yes, you can use Talstar PL Granules in conjuntion with Talstar P liquid.
