Talstar PL Granules

Talstar Granules (Talstar PL), with its unique sand core granular structure, provides long-term protection against insect pests in lawn, gardens and landscaped areas for two to four months. Talstar Granules penetrate deep into mulch and grass to kill pests where they breed and hide. Simply spread the granules over your lawn according to the label directions. No watering is needed. The difference between Talstar EZ Granules and Talstar PL is granular size (Talstar PL is more fine like sand, and therefore can penetrate deeper than EZ).

Q  How soon after watering in Talstar PL Granules can you let your pet on the treated surface? A It is perfectly safe to let your pet back on the treated surface after one hour of watering in the Talstar PL Granules.

Q  I have a Lesco commercial spreader. What setting should I set it on for a 0.2 application? A We are not famliar with that type of spreader since we do not sell it.  We would reccommend calling Lesco or you can try calling FMC (manufacturer of Talstar Granules) at 1-800-321-1362.

Q  I have a dog that is always eating something he shouldn't be. The pest service I use wants to apply the Talstar granules in my yard and I'm concerned about letting my dog around any chemicals for fear of him possibly ingesting it. What to do? A If the Talstar granules product label is followed, then the granules will not be available for your dog to ingest. Usually the granules are applied to the lawn and then immediately watered in, sending the insecticide into the soil and thatch layer. Your dog should be removed from the yard prior to the Talstar granule application and should not return until the application is dry. And don't forget, you can save money by purchasing the Talstar granules and applying them yourself and you can have piece of mind knowing that the product label was followed.
