  • Asked by Scott from Kittanning Pa.
    09/06/2015
    Q
    Will Talstar kill grain mites and is it toxic to cattle if it gets in their feed?
    A

    Talstar is not labeled to treat for grain mites. It would be best to discard if the feed and get new feed. We are not aware of a product that can safely be applied to grains that are intended for feeding purposes. Please also contact your Cooperative Extension office for more treatment options in your area.

  • Asked by Timothy from Houston, Tx
    09/16/2015
    Q
    Can you still use Talstar after six years if it has been properly stored indoors in a climate-controlled area?
    A

    The general rule of thumb for insecticide concentrates such as Talstar P is that they are good for about 3-5 years from the date of purchase as long as they have been stored at room temperature.  If your Talstar is six years old, it certainly would not hurt anything if you wanted to try to use it, but if you find that it is not working as well as it used to, it may be time for some new product.  You may also want to speak with the manufacturer directly to see what they would recommend.  You can reach FMC at 800-321-1362.

  • Asked by Debbie from Dayton, Oh
    10/07/2015
    Q
    What granules can I use to spread on my lawn for termites?
    I have been using your Termidor for termites.
    A

    If you have purchased Termidor SC from us and completed the proper trench treatment around the foundation of your home (outlined in the guide below) then that is all the protection you would need to do. Treating the surface of the soil with a liquid or granule in your lawn will not prevent or keep termites away. Termites in their natural environment are actually beneficial insects and most homeowners have them in their yard without ever knowing it as everything is in balance. If you know where a particular colony or activity of termites in the soil is in a particular area you can always drench the soil in that spot with a product like Talstar P.

  • Asked by Patrick from New Orleans, La
    10/15/2015
    Q
    Can you recommend a long lasting product(s) for use against fire ants, as well as general pests in liquid?
    A long lasting liquid liquid pest control for ants, and other exterior pests in perimeter / yard. I live in south Louisiana. I am already using Taurus, for termite issues. Also needs to be pet safe.
    A

    Talstar P can be used for fire ant control, but you will also need to do mound drenching. According to the Talstar P product label, "Fire Ant Mound control is optimized by combining broadcast applications that will control foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens with mound drenches that will control existing colonies. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application or use a high volume application. Apply broadcast treatments at 0.5 to 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet. Use enough finished volume to penetrate thatch or sod. Treat mounds by applying 1 oz of Talstar P per mound in 1 to 2 gallons water by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet out around the mound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12

    Q
    I sprayed Talstar P for mosquitos, but will it also kill other bugs? Does the method of application affect what it kills?
    Orkin sprayed our yard for mosquitos with a backpack sprayer. I asked the technician what it kills and he said fleas, ticks and mosquitos. But the info I've found online says it kills so much more. He sprayed all over the grass and bushes.
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with (including fleas, ticks and mosquitos) and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets. A hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer would be the preferred, but the method of application will not determine the results of the product.

    Q
    What is the best product to prevent indoor insects?
    A

    As a general prevention for indoor and outdoor control Talstar P is one of the most trusted and widely-used insecticides by pest control professionals today. Talstar P has a long residual control. so it keeps on killings pest sfor over three moneths after you have sprayed it. We recommend to use 0.33 to1 fluid ounce per gallon of water to be applied either as a crack and crevice, pinstream, spot, coarse, low pressure spray of with a paint brush. You will want to limit repeat applications to no more than once per seven days.

    Q
    Can I mix Talstar P with dawn soap for boxelder bugs?
    The dawn soap will breakdown the hard shell of the bugs body and then the Talstar P will kill them
    A

    Talstar P will do a great job for boxelder bugs! We do not recommend that you use soap with the Talstar P or any other insecticides. The Talstar P may be used to spray directly on the plant foliage and it can be used inside and outside of the home. Please take a moment to look at our "How to Get Rid of Boxelder Bugs" article for more detailed information about this type of pest.

    Q
    Will Talstar P control white flies in my bermudagrass?
    I use talstar in the mixture of 1 ounce per gallon, however this does not control the white flies living in my bermuda grass. I spray no more than once every 4 weeks depending on rainfall.
    A

    According to the Talstar P label to treat Whiteflies you may apply 1oz / gallon of water and repeat as necessary to maintain control. In addition to a foliar spray (Talstar P), using a systemic such as Adonis 2F to control whiteflies prooves to be effective.
