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.

Active Ingredient Rate per Acre 0.2 - 0.4 lbs. ai/A
Talstar PL Rate per Acre 100 - 200 lbs.
Talstar PL Rate per 1000 sq ft 2.3 - 4.6 lbs.

3 of 3 people found this review helpful:    By B McGill from MD on May 20, 2008 Love this stuff! You claim it controls ants for 2-3 months; I use it once a year after a rainy spring & it lasts all year! Thank you for supplying  Talstar EZ insecticide to the general public. An exterminator would cost SEVERAL hundred dollars. Thanks again! Was this review helpful to you?

2 of 3 people found this review helpful:    By Donna from Covington,Louisiana on October 11, 2008 We bought Talstar EZ Granular Insecticide the first year we bought our house because we had dogs and so did the people before us. We had no signs of ant beds any where. This past year we forgot to do the yard and we have piles of ants all over. So we just did the yard again and never will we forget to use Talstar again.  It also keeps fleas out of the yard so our dogs never suffer.  We praise Talstar EZ to all our friends.

Q  Can you give me a full list of all the insects the Talstar EZ covers? A Please follow this link to the product label for Talstar EZ.  It has the full list of covered insects.

Q  Does the Talstar Granular Insecticide also help control termites? A No, Talstar granules would not be a good option when treating for termites.  Talstar granules and other liquid products that are meant for pest control 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.  For proper termite protection you have to dig a trench and place product in the trench or under the ground.  For treating termites we recommend Dominion 2L which is one of our best sellers for professional termite protection.  You should also read our "How to do a Termite Treatment" article which will explain exactly how to treat for termites just like a professional company would.
