    08/28/2017
    Q
    What is the recommended insecticide to use on European hornets which have infested a lilac bush?
    A

     Tempo 1% dust is the most effective dust to treat for hornets and yellow jackets. Be sure to treat in the times of the day when they are less active (earlier morning or later evening). You may also want to use a ready-to-use knockdown insecticide such as PT Wasp Freeze II. This spray will spray up to 15 away for safe and quick knockdown of flying, stinging insects.

  • Asked by Ann from Seagrove, Nc
    09/23/2017
    Q
    What are the ingredients in Talstar for bed bugs?
    A

    The active ingredient in Talstar P is bifenthrin. When treating for bed bugs, a thorough application should be made to crack and crevices where evidence of bed bugs occurs. This includes bed frames, boxsprings, inside empty dressers and clothes closets and carpet edges, high and low wall moldings and wallpaper edges. Do not use this product on bed linens, pillows, mattresses or clothes. Remove all clothes and other articles from dressers or clothes closets before application. Allow all treated areas to thoroughly dry before use. Not recommended for use as sole protection against bedbugs. If evidence of bedbugs is found in/on mattresses, use products approved for this use. The mixing rate of Talstar P is 1 fl oz per gallon of water. Be sure to do treatments every 10-14 days until you do not see activity for 30 days. 

    Please check out our Bed Bug Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent bed bugs in the future.

    Q
    What are the mixing instructions for mosquitoes applied with a Stihl sr 200 mister blower using Talstar P?
    It would take me 3 hours to apply 1 gallon (1 oz of Talstar p) over 1000 sq ft.! I called customer service and they were baffled by my question.
    A

    Talstar P should be mixed at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. We have never experienced an application taking 3 hours on a 100 X 10 or 50 X 20 area using a mist blower. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes for a successful eradication program. Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns.

  • Asked by Philip
    08/03/2009
    Q
    Can Talstar P be sprayed on my cucumber plants or vegetable garden?
    A

    Talstar P cannot be used directly on vegetables or fruits that are going to be consumed. We do carry several products that can be used on cucumbers and other edible vegetation such as Sevin and Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10%. Always read the product label of the product you select to make sure it is labeled for the plant you want to spray and for the pest you are trying to eliminate. The product labels are available for each product on our site and you can see the links for them on each individual product page.

    Q
    Will Talstar P control the longed-horn beetle?
    I use Talstar P for the flower garden and it works wonders!
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for many beetles but not specifically for the long horned beetle.  However, after doing some research we have found many sites and government studies that list Talstar P as a form of treatment for the long horned beetle.

    Q
    Can you tell me if Talstar will kill mange mites in the ground?
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for general mites, though mange mites typically are on livestock or pets.  For mange mites, we recommend Tengard SFR which could be used to treat the ground outside, as well as inside the home over a certain area.  Tengard SFR can also be used on a dogs and other livestock (do not use on felines) to kill mites without harming the animal.

    Q
    Will Talstar One work in the garage to kill both adult fleas and eggs?
    Our cat used to sleep in the garage. I noticed he was scratching frequently so I applied a spot on flea treatment. All the fleas jumped off him and infested our garage. Every time we come in from the garage we track them into the house. The cat now lives in an outdoor house and we've bombed the garage twice to no avail. Will Talstar One work in the garage to kill both adult fleas and eggs? If not, what should we use?
    A
    Talstar would not be tbe best choice for fleas.  Talstar is a great product for almost any other insect and can be used indoors and outdoors safely.  However, for treatment of fleas the talstar does not have an IGR (insect growth regulator) which is important for the treatment of fleas.  We suggest one of our best selling products for fleas called Ultracide.  It is a product made only for the treatment of fleas and has both an adulticide and an IGR for the treatment of maturing fleas.  It should work great in your garage.  You should treat every 14 days until the problem is gone.

    Q
    Is it safe to eat fruit from a tree that's planted next to a house that's sprayed with Talstar P 4Xs/year?
    A
    You can eat the fruit as long as the tree is not sprayed and the soil around the tree is not sprayed. Keep Talstar P out of the trees root zone.

  • Asked by Gary
    03/29/2011
    Q
    I have your Talstar, how often can it be used inside the house on carpeting/flooring without damage?
    A
    Talstar is a water based product and should not damage anything that water itself would not damage. According to the Talstar product label you should apply Talstar no more than once every 7 days. 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. Do not use as a space spray. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices.

  • Asked by Roz
    05/17/2011
    Q
    What if a dog came into contact with Talstar P while it was still wet?
    My dog didn't show apparent signs of illness, yet his coat was wet with a manure type odor and when wiped, there was a rust color that came off. The scent is still there a day later.
    A
    The smell and color are not from the Talstar P. Talstar P is a water based product that dries clear and is odorless. It seems like your dog did indeed roll in something that was possibly still damp from the Talstar application, but it is the actual item your pet rolled in (perhaps manure or fertilizer of some kind?) that you have noticed on your pet. We think a bath is in order to wash off any Talstar the dog may have on his coat and to get rid of whatever ever else he rolled in.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P at 1 oz per gallon in an area that some will fall on my lawn without killing the grass?
    A
    Talstar is labeled to apply on turf, ornamentals, trees, and almost any other surface or plant.  It is our best selling product to spray on the yard and on shrubs, bushes, and trees for mosquitoes and other insects that harm grass and trees.  So you don't have to worry about it killing the grass.  The only thing you should not apply Talstar to is a garden with anything edible.

    Q
    Is Talstar the same product that professional exterminators use and how effective is it for controlling roaches
    A
    Talstar P is a professional product and it is used by many professional pest control operators to help eliminate roaches. It is also important to use a roach bait gel and an insect growth regulator as part of a roach control program. You can see these other products by looking at our roach control page or by looking at our Roach Control Kit #1.

    06/27/2011
    Q
    Can you spray Talstar P on the couch? It appears that our dog brought ticks into the house and we are finding them in one room around a couch.
    I realize now that I need to spray an IGR (just ordered Archer) and have read that it is okay to spray the IGR on the couch. If I mix the Archer IGR with the Talstar P, can that still be sprayed on the couch, or just an IGR mixture?
    A

    Talstar P CANNOT be applied to anything that you will come into prolonged skin contact with, so you cannot apply it to furniture.  It should be applied to cracks and crevices and perimeter of the rooms only.  For treating sensitive areas like your furniture, you should use Steri-Fab which is labeled for ticks and fleas as well as many other pests and can be applied to furniture, mattresses, pet beds, and all other sensitive areas. Below is a great article on treating indoors and the products that we would recommend for treatment inside the home for fleas and/or ticks.
