  • Asked by Jamie from Lower Merion, Pa

    Q
    Can Talstar be stored in a large water tank for commercial use or will it need to mixed before each use?
    A
    Talstar P is to be mixed and sprayed when needed. You do not want to store the mixed solution longer than 24 hours. The product will lose its efficacy and it could damage your application equipment. Please discard any remaining product left unused and rinse the sprayer, nozzle and wand.

  • Asked by Julie from Douglassville Pa
    10/04/2013
    Q
    I have a question about using two different pest control items around the same time.
    I like the treat the outside of my home every three months with Termidor for ant prevention. Recently, we have been inundated with stink bugs and I would like to treat the outside of the home with Talstar Pro (because of the good reviews it has with stinkbug control). Since it is recommended that Talstar be used monthly for stink bugs, there would be months where I am using both the Talstar and the Termidor. Is this ok---do they affect each other's ability to kill bugs?
    A

    Termidor SC is a non-repellent insecticide. This means that ants and other insects cannot tell that it is there and they will readily walk over treated areas. Termidor SC also has a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect which allows the ants time to get back to the colony and spread it around before they succumb to the effects of the product. Talstar P on the other hand is synthetic pyrethroid which many sensitive insects such as ants can detect. Ants may avoid the areas treated with Talstar and those ants that do cross over treated areas are the only ones that will be killed by the product. Talstar P does not have a transfer effect so it will not be transferred back to the colony. While the Termidor SC will not actually be deactivated by Talstar P, it will be much less effective if it is over-sprayed with Talstar P. 

    You can spray the Talstar P higher up around window frames, window sills, door frames,  any cracks and crevices around foundation or where caulking around windows and doors has opened up, around vents leading inside, and around lights (these bugs are attracted to the light from windows, doors, etc).

  • Asked by Tricia from Ft Myers Florida
    10/05/2013
    Q
    What is the best product to use for a millipede infestation?
    A
    Millipedes are usually going to be present when there is a lot of moisture in the area. If you have a lot of mulch near your house you may want to consider raking it back at least six inches away from the house. Also trimming bushes so that you can see the soil beneath them and so they do not touch the house will help reduce soil moisture and stop the insects from gaining access to the house via the bushes.  Talstar P would be a great choice for this pest.  You would apply around the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages. We have also written an article with other tips that may help you with millipede control : Get Rid of Millipedes

    Q
    What product is best to use in a Spider-B-Gone misting system at my lake house?
    I want to control spiders and insects at the top of my exterior walls. I have been switching between Riptide 5.0% ULV and Pyranha 1-10 PX
    A
    We are not familiar with that misting system. Talstar is a great product to use in a misting sprayer. Riptide and Pyrahna are still top choices for misting systems.

  • Asked by Robert from Dallas, Texas
    12/16/2013
    Q
    What would be a good all around insecticide spray and rat poison and boxes for a warehouse and home?
    A
    A great, cost effective option for insect sprays would be our Talstar P. Its a clear drying, non-staining, odorless concentrate that is mixed with water and can be used indoor and outdoors. Its label covers over 100 different insects and once dry, is safe for people and pets to resume normal activity in the treated area. For rodent bait and bait stations, you have several different options available. You could go with one of our Rodent Kits for sturdy, tamper resistant locking bait stations and the fastest killing bait. Or if you are looking for larger quantities of the bait, you could get a case of stations like the Protecta LP Rat Bait Stations and a pail of the Contrac Blox, which is one of our top selling/performing baits available.

  • Asked by Hector from San Antonio Tx

    Q
    What is a good general indoor and yard granual pest control?
    Currently I have purchased and use Demon WP for outdoor application around the house but I also want to find a good general indoor pest control and a general outdoor granule for use as backyard grass application so my kids don't get bit up. We don't have any pest issues now but I just canceled my yearly pest control to do it my self as it was getting pricy to pay every 3 months. Can you suggest anything. Thank you
    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
    What is the best chemical to spray outdoors n kill mosquitos?
    I am alrdy using Termidor around the perimeter of the house, so i am looking for another spray that can eliminate or minimize mosquitoes.
    A
    Talstar P is the premier product for controlling mosquitos. In addition to the treatment around the foundation of the home as mentioned above, spray Talstar P on the underside of leaves on the lower-hanging branches of trees around the backyard or area where mosquitoes are a problem.  You can also spray the underside of leaves on shrubs and ornamentals.

    Q
    Would Talstar Granules be effective for carpet beetles?
    We purchased Talstar Granules for a camelback cricket issue in our crawlspace & it has worked wonders! We believe we also have carpet beetles originating from the same area. Would the Talstar Granules also work on the carpet beetles?
    A
    Unfortunately, Talstar Granules are not labeled for carpet beetles. It would be best to use the liquid spray instecticide such as Talstar P in the crawlspace or inside along the baseboards, window frames, door frames, and cracks and crevices.

    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
    Can Talstar P be applied at a high pressure or will it break down the molecular structure of the chemical?
    A
    Talstar P should not be used in a high pressure sprayer. Most recommended insecticide sprayers use a range of 30-150 PSI. Higher range PSI will tend to break down the insecticide.

    Q
    Does Talstar work as effectively for knockdown as Tempo Ultra using a Stihl blower/mister for mosquitos?
    A
    Talstar can be used in a mist blower for mosquito control outdoors. It will not be an instant knockdown kill but offers a 30 day exterior residual. It is also one of our most popular mosquito control insecticides. It is mixed at one ounce per gallon of water. Tempo SC Ultra is also a synthetic pyrethroid concentrate that is great for mosquitoes and other listed pests.
