    Q
    Is there a Talstar available to licensed applicator?
    I am a new licensed applicator and best i can tell the general public can buy the same product, where is my advantage here? Do you have a rup they CAN NOT buy without a license! Please answer privately Thank you
    A

    There are various products that are not available to the general public depending on where they live. We are unsure of exactly what you are asking. These products can be purchased by homeowners, however, the advantage that you have over a homeowner is that they can spray only their home. You can legally spray for profit.

    Q
    Will Talstar kill camel crickets?
    A

    Talstar P will kill camel crickets. Apply Talstar P as a crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, 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. We recommend treating the outside perimeter to help stop insect pests from coming indoors to start with. Apply Talstar P to a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet.

    Q
    Would the effectiveness of Termidor be effected in any way if I use Talstar as a perimeter treatment around the exterior of the home?
    If a home has been treated with Termidor for termites (a non-repellent termiticide), would it be an issue to do a perimeter treatment (3 feet up and out) with Talstar P (a repellent termiticide)?
    A

    No, using Talstar as a perimeter spray 3ft up and 3ft out from the home will not affect the Termidor SC as long as the Termidor has had time to bond to the soil after 24 hours. Mix Talstar at 1oz per gallon of water and apply over 1,000 sq ft.

    Q
    How to treat a walk in attic space with Talstar P and Delta Dust?
    I am planning to treat for brown recluse in our house. I purchased Talstar P and Delta Dust. I think I understand the treatment procedure in the main living space but want to know how/where to treat my walk in attic space.
    A

    You can use Talstar P in your attic in all of the cracks and crevices for insect control. If you have a lot of exposed electrical elements though you would want to just use the Delta Dust in these areas as it will last a lot longer than liquid insecticides and they can be used around the electrical elements without worry of shock or shorting out the device.

    Talstar P is labeled for ticks, however we would recommend you use our Outdoor/Indoor Flea and Tick Kit for the issue that you are asking about. This kit would include everything that is needed to treat both indoors and outdoors for a ticks infestation.

    Q
    How long does it take for a Talstar P (Talstar One) formula to kill a nest of bees when applied for them to carry back to nest?
    The orkin man applied this to my Eve's and roof because the nest is unreachable. I swear all he did was feed them. They seem very content coming and going. It has been applied for 24 hours now.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) does not kill by transfer. Talstar P (Talstar One) will kill the bees after they contact the solution. This can take hours after contacting the treated area. It likley will not eliminate the entire nest. We would recommend a product like Delta Dust in which the adults will carry into the nest to the larvae.

  • Asked by John from Austin Tx

    Q
    Should I alternate Talstar One with another pesticide to prevent resistance?
    I have used Talstar One plus Archer IGR on my yard for two summers to prevent mosquitoes and they've worked very well. I read that mosquitoes can develop resistance to bifethtin. Should I rotate with another pesticide, and if so, how often and which one do you recommend?
    A

    Yes, rotating insecticides is a good idea to prevent resistance however this normally takes years to happen. Some customer rotate every year or when they start to notice the product may not be working as well as it did in the beginning. It would not hurt to use another active ingredient for your next treatment, a great alternative to Talstar is Suspend SC. Mix 1.5oz Suspend SC with 1 gallon of water along with the Archer IGR for Mosquito control

  • Asked by William from Villages Fl
    09/13/2016
    Q
    Do I have to remove thatch prior to Talstar P application for chinch bugs on a St Augustine lawn in FL?
    A

    Talstar P are one of the most effective chinch bug treatments on the market. Chinch bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Chinch bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher applications rates will be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer. It may also be necessary to remove the thatch layer if it exceeds 1 inch in thickness to allow the Talstar to penetrate down to the soil.

    If you have a few small spots the St. Augustine runners might fill it in this season (of course water, fertilizer, and lots of sunshine helps). If large portions of the lawn were damaged it will likely be late spring or later of next year before the lawn recovers. Very heavily damaged areas may need to be resodded.

    Q
    What is the best insecticide concentrate for North Texas?
    Get a lot of centipedes, looks like worms, and pill bugs. I live in Dallas Fort worth Texas. What would be the best Insecticide concentrate for my home? Talstar I was thinking might be good.
    A

    Talstar P is a great choice for general pest control. Keep in mind that earthworms are beneficial and will not be listed on any insecticide labels. Another excellent option for a climate with very hot summers would be Suspend Polyzone, which is encapsulated in a polymer layer for better longevity in heat and sunlight. You may also want to take a few moments to review our General Pest Prevention Guide for more tips and information.

  • Asked by Mark from Charleston, Sc
    03/01/2017
    Q
    When to apply mole cricket control?
    I believe I have an issue with mole crickets. There are smaller (about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch wide) tunnels running through an area that is lower than the rest of the yard, and has lots of dead grass. I have been reading that one wants to apply a mole cricket treatment to kill the nymphs/younger mole crickets, but I'm not sure about timing. The weather in my area is in the south, and it varies a tremendous amount. 75 at the highest, and 40 or so at night. Any tips? What would you guys suggest? Should I use Talstar?
    A

    Talstar would be a great product to use for mole crickets and gives complete instructions on the product label for timing on the different stages though you should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.

    Q
    Could I feasibly use Talstar P inside of a couch infested with brown recluse?
    I intend to throw the couch away but am afraid to move it before I can do something to kill the spiders inside the couch. Is there any reason I couldn't cut a hole in the fabric of the couch and spray inside the hollow base?
    A

     Talstar P (Talstar One) is not labeled to be used on couchs or furninture in that way.  You could instead use a product like CB 80 as a contact kill.
