    Q
    Can I use sticky boards outside for a million different insects
    A

    Glueboards would not be used outside as they are made with cardboard and glue that would not hold up to the eliminates.  Instead they would be used inside for monitoring and trapping and you can use a residual product such as Talstar P around the perimeter of the home for general pest control.

    Q
    Why is Talstar P (Talstar One) killing everything but gnats?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is labeled for gnat control. Be sure you are mixing at 1oz per gallon water. Are you seeing them indoors? If so, be sure to take any indoor plants out and let them dry. If having an issue outdoors, be sure you are focusing on areas that contain moisture and/or shade. Also, undersides of leaves on non-edible trees and shrubs. Keep in mind that part of the difficulty in handling flying insects is that you are relying on them to land on areas treated with the insecticide.

  • Asked by Dan from Prescott, Wi

    Q
    What can I use to get rid of gnats?
    A

    Gnat is a very general term used to describe a wide variety of small flying pests including fruit flies, drain flies, fungus gnats, no-see-ums, mosquitoes, etc. You can use a general insecticide like Talstar P on the outside of your home on all the window and door frames and on window screens to try and prevent pests from entering your home. We cannot give more specific information or treatment products unless we know exactly what species of pest you are dealing with so that we can narrow down where the problem is coming from and address it directly.

    Q
    FMC the manufacturer of Talstar does not recommend applying with a hose end sprayer. Is that because it's less effective?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) is not labeled to be applied with hose end sprayer, because it is a professional grade product. You can apply with a hose end sprayer. The same application rates apply. Keep in mind using a hose end sprayer can be a little more difficult to calibrate than simply mixing 1oz per gallon water in a pump sprayer, but we have many customers that use the hose end sprayer application.

  • Asked by Reynante from Grand Cayman Cayman Islands
    08/10/2018
    Q
    I intend to use Talastar P liquid in my yard for chinch bugs. Does it require watering in?
    A

    According to the Talstar P (Talstar One) product label: Chinch Bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Irrigation of the grass area before treatment will optimize the penetration of the insecticide to the area where the chinch bugs are located. Use higher volume applications if the thatch layer is excessive or if a relatively long mowing height is being maintained. Chinch Bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher application rates (Up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) may be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the middle of the summer.

  • Asked by Tysen from Norwalk, Ct
    08/11/2018
    Q
    I have a 200 gallon tank. How many ounces per gallon of Talstar do I need for spraying ticks?
    A

    When using Talstar P for ticks in the lawn, the rate is 0.5 - 1.0 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. in at least 1 gallon of water.  So for 200 gallons, you would use 100-200 oz. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use higher spray volumes when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. Repeat application is necessary only if there are signs of renewed activity. Limit repeat application to no more than once per seven days

  • Asked by Gary from Augres Mi
    08/14/2018
    Q
    Will Talstar P kill hornets?
    A

    Talstar will kill any wasp, bee, or hornet that comes into contact with a treated area.  Keep in mind that this is not a contact kill product, so it can take up to 24 hours for the insect to die after contacting a treated surface. You can also use a product like Wasp Freeze as a contact kill. If you know where any of the nests are located, you can use Wasp Freeze to treat those directly as well. It is best to apply any insecticides in the early morning or evening when the wasps/bees/hornets are least active.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P as an indoor broadcast spray for fleas?
    I didn't read into it very carefully and broadcast sprayed my entire house for fleas..oops. now what do I do? Although everything from fleas to flies are dead.
    A

    You should not repeat the treatment you have already made indoors using Talstar P. You can use Talstar P for flea control outdoors at a rate of 1 oz per 1000 sq ft around turf and ornamentals. Indoors, you can use a steamer or carpet cleaner to break down some of the residual application. At least 14 days after that application, we recommend retreating with a product for indoor flea treatment such as PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol. Be sure to vacuum well before spraying and then every day or every other day after. Please refer to our online Flea Treatment Guide for more tips on eradicating this pest.

    Q
    Will Talstar help to stop TPPD (Texas Phoenix Palm Decline)?
    Palm trees are dying in Florida from TPPD. Will Talstar help to stop the insect? At present our palm is fine and I was wondering if ground application around the base would help deter the insect without harming the palm.
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled to treat TPPD. We recommend that you consult with your local cooperative extension office for recommendations on what would be appropriate to apply.  You can also find a great article here that might help.
