  • 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.

    Q
    How to use Talstar P on potted plants indoors?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is diluted with water and then poured onto the soil and sprayed onto the plant itself. We recommend starting with letting the soil dry out between watering as this offers the fastest control in most cases. Please provide the targeted pest for additional tips on treatment.

    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.

  • Asked by Dominique from Bloomington, Il
    10/02/2017
    Q
    Can Talstar P be sprayed into a vent?
    I believe that the roaches that we had are coming from a neighbor's apt through vents. Can I spray it directly on the vent covering?
    A

    No, unfortunately Talstar P (Talstar One) is not labeled for application directly into a vent as this could result in the insecticide making its way through your air vents and you could possibly inhale the product and breathe it in.  If you feel that roaches are coming from your neighbor's apt we would suggest using a bait right outside of your vents.  You could use Maxforce FC Magnum or any of the other excellent roach bait gels that we sell.

    Q
    Will Talstar P kill root Aphids?
    I have root Aphids in my vegetable garden, I want to know If I can saturate the soil after the growing season to kill the Aphids for next spring.
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for use to control root aphids or for use in a vegetable garden. Pyganic Gardening or Azera Gardening can be used in and around vegetable gardens for aphids and a wide variety of other insects. Keep in mind that this is a persistant pest often brought into an area by infested plants or soils, so be sure that you are checking transpants and using clean soils in your garden.
