  • Asked by Richard from Sanford, Nc
    06/06/2017
    Q
    Can I use Talstar in a house that is under construction?
    I was wondering if that will be OK since no one is there at night and it would be dry by the next day when workers returned?
    A

    Yes, that will be fine. Everyone will need to be out of the area while Talstar is being applied, but it will be safe for them to return as soon as everything is dry (usually 1-2 hours).

  • Asked by Willie from Fort Worth, Tx
    07/01/2017
    Q
    What granule or liquid can I use to get rid of lawn pests?
    Such as sod grub worms, chinch bugs, mosquitoes in the grass? Fleas and ticks as well. You can't enjoy being outside. I have a lawn sprinkler system.
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) can be used for everything except grubs if you have those and not sod webworms.  For grubs you would need a product like Merit in granule or liquid form.  For mosquitoes the key is applying Talstar to the underside of leaves of trees and bushes.  For fleas and ticks as well as mosquitoes you can also add an insect growth regulator like Nyguard IGR.

  • Asked by Dick from Manassas
    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
    Should Talstar PL be used in an enclosed office with no windows, just air condition vents?
    A

    When applying Talstar P, as long as the area has had time to dry, there should not be any concern. Rooms should remain vacant until the product has had time to dry. Talstar P is ok to use as crack and crevice treatment along 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.

  • Asked by Rose from Clifton, Virginia
    09/13/2014
    Q
    Do I open both caps and seals? Do I squeeze the container to get the solution to the measuring chamber?
    A
    Yes, to utilize the Talstar P bottle, you will need to remove both caps and both seals below the caps if there are some there. (some products come with them, some don't) Once that process is finished, replace the cap over the larger portion of the bottle and then squeeze the bottle itself. This will cause the solution to run up the straw like tube on the side of the bottle and into the measuring reservoir for you to know exactly how much you need per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Brian
    09/15/2014
    Q
    Is the residual harmful to humans?
    If Talstar works by creating a residual that the bugs come in contact with and eventually die, won't that same residual, for example, if applied to a fence that my young kids touch, negatively affect them? Yes, I already understand that it is odorless and clear, but I was thinking about the residual and how it must also be absorbed by humans when they touch the same sprayed surfaces over the subsequent 3 month before reapplying.
    A
    No, Talstar P (Talstar One) is not harmful to humans if they come in contact with it after it is dry. It will not affect children if they touch the fence because it is none irritating if it touches the skin. It is recommended for children to not be in the area until the product is completely dry. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
