    Q
    Best granules to stop roaches and scorpions
    My exterminator spread some sort of granules around our house and it stopped the scorpions and roaches the very first night. The night before, we saw (what seemed like) a herd of roaches coming over our patio wall. Granules were spread...haven't seen another roach. What can I purchase that would have the same fantastic results? I want something known to be as effective...no trial and error, please.
    A
    Talstar Xtra is a fantastic granule.  The Talstar Xtra Granule is made from a clay material that dissolves in under one minute when watered in making sure the active ingredients are delivered quickly and efficiently. As an added bonus the Verge Granule is odor-free and almost completely dustless. Plus, it has a combination of two long lasting quick acting active ingredients.

    Q
    Does Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide work to prevent termites in yard and around house if spread every 2 to 3 months?
    A

    No, Talstar Xtra Granules would not be a good option when treating for termites.  Talstar Xtra Granules are applied to the surface of the ground and are really only meant for treating insects that walk across the ground.  Termites enter the home from underground and never make it to the surface of the ground.  Therefore, they never come into contact with the product on the surface.  Please take a look at our "How to do a Termite Treatment" article, which explains exactly how to treat for termites just like a professional company would.

  • Asked by Mantooth from Loudon Tn
    05/11/2013
    Q
    How would you treat mounds in a horse pasture with Talstar XTRA?
    A

    According to the manufacturer, Talstar cannot be used in horse pastures for any purpose.

    Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait would be a better choice for you. Extinguish plus can be used on pasture land and there are no grazing restrictions for companion animals. Below you will see the grazing info available on the Extinguish Plus product label. Extinguish Plus combines the power of hydramethylnon with an insect growth regulator (IGR) to kill fire ant workers and prevent queens from laying fertile eggs. The result is complete fire ant colony control. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is best used in the spring or early fall, or whenever fire ants are active. The ants will feed off Extinuish Plus and spread the bait throughout the entire colony, halting the infestation within weeks. Extinguish Fire Ant Bait can be used indoors and outdoors on lawns, pasture land, rangeland, landscaped areas, and golf courses.

    EXTINGUISH PLUS may be applied to grass forage
    (pastures and rangeland) for the control of fire ants
    only in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas,
    Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New
    Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
    Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Use on grass forage
    (pastures and rangeland) in states other than those
    listed is unlawful. See Outdoor Use table for
    application directions. Do not exceed 8 pounds per
    acre per year or more than 4 times a year, with a
    minimum re-treatment interval of 90 days. Do not bale
    and cut treated pastures and rangelands for 7 days
    following application. These cutting and baling hay
    restrictions for pasture and rangeland do not apply
    when the treated pasture and rangeland is used solely
    to support COMPANION ANIMALS (e.g., horses,
    llamas, etc.). Companion animals grazed on treated
    areas cannot be used for food or feed. EXTINGUISH®
    PLUS may be used on uncultivated, agricultural, nonfood
    crop and non-agricultural land.
