    Q
    How does Talstar P compare to Essentria IC3?
    A
    Talstar P is a water based synthetic pyrethroid and Essentria IC3 is a natural product made up of botanical oils. They contain different active ingredients. They are listed for some of the same insects including ants and mosquitoes. They both have the same length of residual after applied. Essentria IC3 can be applied near water areas without harming aquatic life and Talstar P should NOT be applied to those areas. Talstar is offered in a pint, quart, 3/4 gallon and gallon concentrated bottles and diluted at an ounce per gallon of water. Essentria IC3 is available in a quart and gallon size and you will mix 1-10 oz per gallon of water depending on the insect targeted.

    Q
    Is there any benefit to mixing Talstar one with Essentria IC3
    I like the smell of the IC3 eccentra . I also think it works very well just doesn't last long
    A
    You would not want to mix IC3 with Talstar. IC3 could make Talstar have a repellency to it that you do not want. You want the insect to travel through the treated areas and kill them.

    Q
    Is Talstar P dangerous to bug eating critters?
    does Talstar P pose any dangers to insect eating critters like frogs, toads, bats, birds etc. I want to treat my yard and wooded portion of our property mainly for mosquito control. I realize that other bugs will be killed but would dangers are there for critters that consume affected insects?
    A
    After mixing Talstar P (Talstar One) there is only enough active ingredient to harm small insects. With that said, if you are killing the critters' prey, then they may leave the area.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P use on a vegetable garden?
    What if you accidentally treated a vegetable garden before reading that Talstar P is not recommended for that application? If birds can eat infected insects, I would think one accidental application to a vegetable garden early in the growing season would be ok, as long as it's not repeated? Is there any information on this?
    A
    Talstar P should not be applied to edible vegetation. If any are treated, they should be discarded. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer (FMC) for additional safety concerns of the product. They can be reached at 800-321-1362.

    Q
    Where do I spray Talstar P for mosquitoes?
    We are building a patio in our backyard for a fire pit. Should we spray the furniture and surrounding fence to keep the mosquitos and other flies away from it? Is it safe to spray on a vinyl fence?
    A
    Talstar P can be mixed at 1 oz per gallon of water and be applied once a month to the exterior of the structure. We do not recommend applying it to any furniture. We suggest applying it to all non-edible shrubery and the tree foliage (especially targeting the undersides of the leaves). You can spray around window frames, door frames, the siding and lawn.

    Q
    Best option for Mosquito on acreage with tow sprayer
    I have a double lot with mowed grass and ditch. Total area to spray is 2.5 acres aprox. I use a 15 gallon spryaer to apply chemical but have bad mosquito problem. I have been looking at the Talstar but alot of people say use malthion. Which works better and will have longer effect? Also, is switching to a mister a realistic option for such a large area?
    A
    The pull behind, would still be that best option  for the coverage you need. Talstar mixed with Nyguard and water would be the most effective on the mosquito and flying insect problem. As long as there are no edibles in the area.

    Q
    Should a fungicide, fertilizer, and insecticide all be mix together one spraying a lawn?
    I ask because I work for a company and the owner has us mix all of those together (occasionally) plus a little iron micro mix and a type of conform. I feel like this is not good for the grass with all those together. Is it more effective to just do one at a time although I know that we would be spending a lot of money. Like if a grass has fungus would it be better just to spray nothing but fungicide mixed with water or is it okay to put everything in one?
    A
    Most of the time you can apply all of those types of products together and apply them at the same time so long as all the products label of the items you are using allow tank mixing. While it shouldn't harm a yard to do this, and many companies will apply multiple products together, separating the sprays even by a little can be easier on the lawn health. We would suggest using something like a fungicide by itself unless you have insect and disease damage occuring to the lawn at the same time (as in grubs, chinch bugs, etc), otherwise mix those together for applying. Then you can use a fertilizer or herbicide afterwards by a few days or even a week to not overload the lawn with chemicals.

    Q
    What would work on sand flies?
    A

    These insects do not truly infest a home as they do not reproduce in the indoor environment, but they may still be abundant inside if their breeding site is close by. Unfortunately, the breeding sites for these flies are so numerous and varied, it is impossible to eliminate them all. These tiny pests are small enough to crawl through the average window screen and fit through cracks and crevices around windows and door frames.

    You can help prevent these flies from entering your home by spraying a barrier application of Talstar P paying special attention to window frames, window screens, door frames, and cracks and crevices that may be used as points of entry.  A screen with a very fine mesh (smaller than 16mesh) will help prevent entry. Additionally it may be helpful to keep ceiling fans and window fans on at high speeds to keep insects out of small areas.

    If flies have already entered your home and you need immediate control use Microcare. This product offers a fast knockdown and kill of flying insects, giving you immediate relief.

    Q
    I have termites in my flower bed ( in the ground). What's the best and safest product to use?
    I have termites in my flower bed ( in the ground). They already killed a few of my roses. I thought they eat only dead wood but I have found them around the roots and on the dry part of the rose steam next to the ground. What's the best and safest product to use? I am not worried about the house- it's steal framed and break.
    A
    Normally termites to not eat anything that is alive and healthy so while there may be some in the ground around your flower beds, there could be something else actually destroying your plant like root aphids or the like. That being said, you use use a product like Talstar P to soak the ground around the flower beds to eliminate any termites and most other pests in that soil and it will not harm your flowers. Talstar is a concentrate that would be mixed at the rate of 1 oz to 1 gallon of water and poured as a drench on the soil where you have the activity.

    Q
    How much Talstar P should I put in a 50 gal sprayer?
    I'v got fleas at my house so I bought a rig for my Big Yard.
    A
    When treating your yard for fleas with Talstar P you can use anywhere between 0.5 ounces and 1 oz per gallon of water. So anywhere between 25 and 50 ounces to your 50 gallon sprayer. Keep in mind when treating for fleas, its important to use an IGR (insect birth control) to help stop the reproductive cycle. If you only use a portion of the yard closest to the home you could just mix the IGR with the Talstar and spray them both in those areas that you frequent the most or the pets frequent. We would recommend NyGuard IGR to mix in your tank.

    Q
    What metering rate should I set my blower at for Talstar P?
    I have a Stihl SR450 blower and can change the metering rate. I have read the directions and i can't find any information.
    A
    As long as you are using the Talstar at the proper dilution rate in the tank the metering rate should just be dependent on how quick you are walking during the application. We do not carry Stihl blowers to give you an exact answer, however on our Solo 451 Blower we suggest out of a metering rate of 1-4 to normally put it on 2 for a normal pace during application.
