    Q
    Talstar mixed with Trimec, Tenacity, Drive, fertilizer, etc
    I would like to tank mix the following in a 35 gallon sprayer in the appropriate amounts for my 1 acre yard, Talstar, fertilizer, tenacity, DyneAmic, & blue marker in the early spring. And then Talstar, fertilizer, trimec, drive, DyneAmic. and blue marker in the summer and fall. I *think* from reading labels and Q&A here, that these mixes are acceptable and 35 gallons of water is enough to not have anything be too hot. This mix in this tank towed behind my tractor should (I think) cover my entire yard, which is about 38,000 SqFt. There seems to be a few Q&As that say never to mix insecticides with other treatments. But then there are lots that say it's fine.
    A

    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.

    Q
    What type of face mask can I use to apply Talstar P.
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Talstar P a contact kill?
    Just worried they won't die because I directly spray one and it didn't die just wanted to run away but a little slow.
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Talstar safe to use around pregnant dairy goats and chickens?
    Trying to find a safe option for our neighbor to use that will not affect our chickens, pullets, and pregnant dairy goats. Everything their company has brought up using is not for use around dairy goats so far. We have lost several animals to toxicity poisoning and do not want to lose any more.
    A

    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.

    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.

    Q
    Can i apply Talstar P on furniture/couches?
    I have a flea problem and i have some living in my couches. Is it safe to spray down the couch or other furniture that has cloth?
    A
    You cannot spray furniture with Talstar. Talstar P cannot be used as a broadcast spray indoors and would not be a good choice for indoor flea control. We recommend you use Ultracide for indoor flea control. It is our recommendation and industry standard that you vacuum immediately before the application of Ultracide and every day or every other day after the application for the next two weeks. Vacuums can physically remove a decent percentage of flea eggs that are in the carpet, along with much of the organic crud that the flea larvae feed on. A critical part of the diet of the larva is dried blood, present there as fecal material from the fleas that are on the pets. Wherever the pets spend time, they will shed the fecal matter and the eggs, so it is extremely important that you focus on these potential hot spots where the pets sleep. A vacuum also will remove a small percentage of larvae, but the larva is pretty tenacious, and will wrap around the carpet fibers down there at the base of the pile, and hold on for dear life as the vacuum passes by. The pupa is even tougher to physically remove, for it uses fibers as part of its "cocoon". The vacuum will stimulate the flea adults still in their pupa form to quickly emerge as the adult, and at this point perhaps be sucked up in the vacuum. Even if they are not removed by the vacuum, at least they now are exposed and susceptible to your treatment.   After two weeks most infestations require that you do a second application of the Ultracide and continue with the vacuuming. You should use a product that is registered to use on your pets for fleas such as Prefurred or Advantage. Talstar P can be used effectively outdoors for places where your pets may frequent and also moist shady areas. Treating outdoors will help prevent your pets from re-infesting your home.

    Q
    I have a great crop of moss in my shaded back yard. Will Talstar eliminate it?
    A
    Talstar is an insecticide only and will not have any effect on moss. Burnout Weed and Grass Killer is a non-selective herbicide that is labeled to control moss. You should spray this product only on the moss and avoid getting it on desirable plants.

    Q
    What is the best product for eliminating or at least reducing army cut worms?
    I believe cut worms develop into millers that invade every crack and crevice every spring and most of the summer here in Wyoming.
    A
    Talstar P is one of the most commonly used products to get rid of army worms in lawns. If you need to treat edible vegetation for this pest a spinosad based product would be recommended such as Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew.

    Q
    Does Talstar P kill kudzu bugs? Which should I use Talstar P or Demon WP?
    A
    Both Talstar P and Demon WP will kill kudzu bugs. If you are spraying porous surfaces you would want to choose the Demon WP because it will stay up on the surface a bit more and be more available to the insects. If you need to spray plants, trees and siding Talstar P would be a great choice.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used with Archer IGR?
    I would like ot use pet and child safe products that are also broad spectrum and Archer IGR and Talstar P seem to fit the bill. I would like to use both an IGR and adulticide so as to get as much as possible at all stages of development. Is Talstar P and Archer IGR a good combination? Could they maybe just be used on the ame areas a couple opf weeks apart, maybe spraying first with Archer IGR and then coming back and spraying with Talstar?
    A
    Talstar P and Archer IGR can be mixed into the same gallon of water so you only have to spray once. Archer can be mixed with most insecticides in this way.

    I don't know what kind of flys they are but they are small and swarm out of the grass when I am mowing. I live in the San Francisco Bay area.

    Talstar P is labeled to help control many types of flies and can be applied to your lawn. We do recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and try to get the fly identified to make sure you are choosing the correct product for your needs.
