    Q
    Will Talstar harm auto paint?
    A
    Talstar is a waterbased product and will not usually harm any surface that would not be harmed by water alone. Having said that, Talstar has not been tested on auto paint as it is not labeled for this type of application.

  • Asked by Julie from Douglassville Pa

    Q
    I have a question about using two different pest control items around the same time.
    I like the treat the outside of my home every three months with Termidor for ant prevention. Recently, we have been inundated with stink bugs and I would like to treat the outside of the home with Talstar Pro (because of the good reviews it has with stinkbug control). Since it is recommended that Talstar be used monthly for stink bugs, there would be months where I am using both the Talstar and the Termidor. Is this ok---do they affect each other's ability to kill bugs?
    A

    Termidor SC is a non-repellent insecticide. This means that ants and other insects cannot tell that it is there and they will readily walk over treated areas. Termidor SC also has a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect which allows the ants time to get back to the colony and spread it around before they succumb to the effects of the product. Talstar P on the other hand is synthetic pyrethroid which many sensitive insects such as ants can detect. Ants may avoid the areas treated with Talstar and those ants that do cross over treated areas are the only ones that will be killed by the product. Talstar P does not have a transfer effect so it will not be transferred back to the colony. While the Termidor SC will not actually be deactivated by Talstar P, it will be much less effective if it is over-sprayed with Talstar P. 

    You can spray the Talstar P higher up around window frames, window sills, door frames,  any cracks and crevices around foundation or where caulking around windows and doors has opened up, around vents leading inside, and around lights (these bugs are attracted to the light from windows, doors, etc).

    Q
    I sometimes leave a mixture of Talstar Pro in my sprayer for a week or more. Is it still effective?
    A
    Talstar P should be used within the forst 24-48 hrs of being mixed. After that, unfortunately it would not be effective.

    Q
    Trying to get rid of several kinds of spiders, some quite large, in a studio warehouse type commercial bldg.
    We have used Home Defense from Home Depot and other products purchased at the hardware store, but they don't work very well...maybe not at all.
    A
    Talstar P would be great choice to spray outside and inside the building for the treatment of spiders (all species) and over 75 other insects. It is to be applied indoor cracks and crevices every three months and outside monthly. We would also sugges placing glue boards at entry points and areas with high activity.

  • Asked by Rich from Gloucester Uk
    11/06/2013
    Q
    Hi, Can I use washing up liquid/similar to act as a surfactant for Talstar P for bird mite?
    I am in the process of tidying the house and treating room by room. I have found and eliminated what I think are the sources which were vacated house sparrow and starling nests in my eaves. The house dates from 1690's so I guess this would happen sooner or later! I want to treat wooden, carpet and linoleum flooring of various types but would like the surfactant to offer more 'hold' of the chemical. I will look to retreat in 7 days to catch the life cycle.
    A
    A surfactant is not usually needed when using Talstar P and is generally only to be used if you are trying to protect a plant with waxy leaves and need the product to stick a bit better.  Talstar P is not actually labeled to treat bird mites and it is only labeled to apply in cracks and crevices indoors.  When treating for bird mites usually you would want to spray all carpeted areas and lightly spray the flooring and to do that you would need a product like Onslaught which will give you a wider usage range indoors. Please review our article on How To Control Bird Mites for complete information.

    Q
    What product is best to use in a Spider-B-Gone misting system at my lake house?
    I want to control spiders and insects at the top of my exterior walls. I have been switching between Riptide 5.0% ULV and Pyranha 1-10 PX
    A
    We are not familiar with that misting system. Talstar is a great product to use in a misting sprayer. Riptide and Pyrahna are still top choices for misting systems.

    Q
    What are some of the best products for general pest control?
    I am wanting to do my own pest control and get rid of my pest company. I want to make sure that I am using a good product to ensure quality results. After looking over my past few treatments from my pest control company, they use a different product each time they come. Thanks for your time!
    A
    The best general pest control can depend on what region you are located in. One of the all time favorite general pest control products is Talstar P. Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it. Plus, Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall.

    Q
    Could you suggest a good outdoor bug (including ants) spray to go all around my house in East Central Florida?
    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.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests. Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules.

    Q
    Is Talstar P effective for fleas indoor and outdoors?
    A
    Talstar P is labeled for the treatment of fleas outdoors only. It can only be applied to indoor cracks and crevices. Fleas will be on the open floor surfaces so it is important to apply a product such as Alpine Flea Insecticide with IGR to those surfaces indoors for eradication.

    Q
    I sprayed while my dog was in the area and I think directly inhaled Talstar What should I do?
    A
    After Talstar P (Talstar One) has been diluted there is only a large enough active ingredient to harm small insects. With that being said, the label states to keep children and pets out of the area until the area has dried. Please contact your veternarian for further assistance. You can also contact the manufacturer FMC 800-321-1362.

    Q
    When can I apply Talstar P for mosquitoes?
    I sprayed CY Kick CS & Nyguard yesterday for ants, ticks, fleas, and spiders. Can I apply Talstar P for mosquitoes? Is there one product that would address all of these effectively?

    Both Cykick and Talstar will kill most common pest including Mosquitoes. The biggest difference is that Cykick is Microencapsulated and may take longer to kill the pest, Talstar will kill more quickly.
