    Q
    Would Talstar Granules be effective for carpet beetles?
    We purchased Talstar Granules for a camelback cricket issue in our crawlspace & it has worked wonders! We believe we also have carpet beetles originating from the same area. Would the Talstar Granules also work on the carpet beetles?
    A
    Unfortunately, Talstar Granules are not labeled for carpet beetles. It would be best to use the liquid spray instecticide such as Talstar P in the crawlspace or inside along the baseboards, window frames, door frames, and cracks and crevices.

    Q
    Is Talstar P (Talstar One) safe to use in an area with a septic tank?
    A
    Talstar P can be safely applied in areas around a septic tank with no problem when used as directed on the product label.  This product binds to soil and does not move through it so it would not leech into the system.

    Q
    Have Home Pest Defence system where they spray inside walls and supposedly push through with some type of gas
    I would like to know if there is sprayer I can use to treat home using those entrances around my house - don't want to be dependent upon them FOREVER because the house was built with that system
    A
    We do not carry or distribute the in wall systems so we cannot advise what to use.  We do know that most of those systems require a pressurized piece of equipment to properly treat the lines which most homeowners do not have.  We will say that the downside to those systems is that they do not prevent pests from entering your home since the bugs have to come inside the walls to come into contact with anything.  It is a much better approach to treat the exterior of your home with a professional product like Talstar P every 3 months which keep insects out of your home in the first place.  And all you need is a hand pump sprayer, not a specialized piece of equipment.

    Q
    What is the best chemical to spray outdoors n kill mosquitos?
    I am alrdy using Termidor around the perimeter of the house, so i am looking for another spray that can eliminate or minimize mosquitoes.
    A
    Talstar P is the premier product for controlling mosquitos. In addition to the treatment around the foundation of the home as mentioned above, spray Talstar P on the underside of leaves on the lower-hanging branches of trees around the backyard or area where mosquitoes are a problem.  You can also spray the underside of leaves on shrubs and ornamentals.

  • Asked by Terence from Stamford,ct
    04/16/2014
    Q
    Will Talstar work against 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.

  • Asked by Joe from Columbia Station, Oh
    04/16/2014
    Q
    Is there a way to deter horse flies? We get alot of them by our pool.
    A
    Horseflies and many other species of biting flies tend to develop on the edge of bodies of water and since they are strong fliers these breeding areas can be near or far which makes finding the source next to impossible. You can apply a product such as Talstar P around the pool area and flies that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Using Talstar will give some relief but since these flies can fly over treated areas it can be tough to get complete control. Relief should be on the way soon however as horsefly season is usually on 3-6 weeks long

    Q
    What is the best product to use around my home for general pest control?
    I had a professional pest control company that I no longer use. They only used an outside barrier spray, but never had insects, except maybe a few ants. I just recently have seen some very small bugs in my house on occasion. Do you have a good barrier bug control. I am a regular customer of you folks. Thank you!
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Talstar.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.

    Q
    Can you use Talstar p with a ulv fogger?
    Im looking for something I can use to treat my yard for Mosquitoes, but more importantly I want to treat my crawlspace for everything. I was hoping to use my ulv fogger what do you think?
    A
    The particle size in Talstar is too large to use in ULV fogger and could clog it. We would recommend when indoor fogging using Riptide. Riptide Waterbased Pyrethrin ULV is new technology that delivers effective control of a wide range of insects including mosquitoes, stored product pests, cockroaches, biting insects, crawling insects, flies and more without oil residues or oil-related issues.

    I am buying my first power sprayer to start doing pest control for my neighbors.
    Do you use the same pesticides in the 50-gallon tank as you do for the normal hand sprayer?
    A
    Normally, yes, you would use the same products in both the pump sprayer and 50 gal tank. Be sure to review the product label, as sometimes there are different mixing ratios for 50 gal tank sprayers

    Q
    Can Talstar P be used on rugs both in a home and vehicle is there a strong odor?
    I live in south Florida next to a canal and we seem to have a huge no see um issue. Although, we have no standing water. We are getting bit by something we cannot see. Continuous use of repellents is not a option.
    A
    Talstar P is odorless but cannot be applied as an indoor broadcast application. It is labeled only as a crack and crevice application per the product label. We recommend that you vacuum daily, use a steamer and apply BioDefense in the home and the vehicle. BioDefense has a lemongrass scent that will eventually dissapate.
