Here’s What They’re Saying about Talstar® EZ Granular Insecticide

Before the launch of Talstar EZ granular insecticide, we sent our product to over 30 sites across the country including Florida, Louisiana, California & Texas. We asked 20 applicators to try our new granular formulation on their toughest pests. They treated over 500,000 square feet, and here’s what they had to say.

100% of the respondents thought that Talstar EZ was easy to calibrate.

"I had excellent control of fleas and ticks using Talstar EZ granular insecticide. It has been 6 weeks and still no problem. I was very happy with the product." —John Buechner, Director of Technical Services, Lawn Doctor, Inc.

"My technicians preferred it over the old formulation," said one of the test applicators.

Applicators rated Talstar EZ, "excellent or good" for control of black ants, carpenter ants, centipedes, pillbugs and red imported fire ants

80% had positive comments about the handling characteristics (13% thought the particle size was too big, so we’ll keep Talstar PL granular for those who like a smaller particle size.)

"It’s been 8 weeks and I haven’t had any callbacks from any of the sites I’ve treated with Talstar EZ," stated one representative from a multi-branch lawn and pest control company headquartered in Florida.

94% of the people that responded were pleased with the product when it arrived.

94% were pleased with the dispersible granule matrix.

Talstar® EZ Granular Insecticide Provides Outstanding Control of Turf and Perimeter Pests

USE: Talstar granules is generally used in two ways: It can be applied as a perimeter barrier directed in a five to ten foot band around your home, or it can be generally broadcast over your entire yard including landscaped areas. A normal application usually consists of three to five pounds of product. We recommend applying Talstar PL granules with a hand spreader. One 25lb. bag covers 5,000-10,000 square feet. Always read the label.

FOR CONTROL OF SCORPIONS
To ensure optimum control, treat the building perimeter at dusk to prevent outdoor scorpions from entering the building. Scorpions reside hidden in cracks and voids during the day and are active at night at temperatures above 77ºF/25ºC. Resting areas can be identified at night using a blacklight (UV bulb) as scorpions will fluoresce. These areas should also be treated. Prior to treatment, to increase treatment efficacy, remove trash, debris, or firewood that scorpions may use as resting sites.
