    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.

  • Asked by Debbie from Glendale, Arizona

    Q
    Will Talstar PL Granules kill my scorpion problem?
    I have scorpions and was told by a farmer to try Talstar PL granules. The scorpions are all around the perimeter of my home and they get inside the house. I dread the spring and summer thanks to these little house mates.
    A

    Talstar PL Granules can be used for scorpions following the instructions on the product label:  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

    We also have a great guide here for Scorpion Control with non chemical recommendations.

  • Asked by Nelson from Fort Myers, Fl
    06/04/2015
    Q
    Will Talstar PL Granules help get rid of frogs?
    I have a two store house with shutters. A frog decided to live on the top of the shutter on the second floor. It messes the whole wall every day.
    A

    There are no toxic products labeled for frogs or toads (or reptiles for that matter), and given the highly beneficial nature of these amphibians there is not likely to be anything coming along.The reasons they are on your property are because they can find food and proper habitat, and these are probably your only means for making them go away. Take away their food and they will forage somewhere else. Take away the conditions they need for hiding all day and they will seek refuge someplace else.

    Habitat modification may be the more effective way to limit frogs on your property. Frogs are mainly nocturnal, and they seek food at night when it is cooler and damper. During the day they look for cool, damp, dark places to hide. They will hide under dense shrubbery or ground covers, under logs or lumber on the soil, or under large landscape rocks and timbers to avoid the hot, dry sun. Trim shrubbery, remove thick ground-cover, stack lumber or firewood off of the soil a few inches and remove any other objects or debris that come in contact with the soil and can provide harborage. Limit watering to help eliminate moisture from your yard.  You can also reduce the amount of insects (the frogs food source) in your yard by treating the grass with a residual insecticide such as Talstar PL.

    Q
    Would Talstar cause vomiting in dogs?
    my dog ate some grass a couple of hours after applying Talstar. When she came in the house she vomited the grass and rust colored liquid. Could there be a connection or just coincidence??
    A
    Talstar PL Granules when applied as directed should not harm pets. There is only enough active ingredient to harm small insects. We would also recommend to contact FMC the manufacturer 1-800-321-1362 for further assistance.

    Q
    I bought Talstar PL for springtails. Do I have to water it into the lawn or just leave it?
    We recently had a tree cut down in our yard and after that we noticed a springtail problem in that area. We also have a pool, and I see some around the pool but not that many.
    A
    Talstar PL must be watered in to be activated. You can choose to water in the product with a hose or you can apply Talstar PL just before a rain event and let mother nature water in the granules for you.

    I have a 3 acres of lawn. How many bags of Talstar PL will I need?

    Q
    When do I treat for crane flies with Talstar PL granules?
    I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I am unsure of when to treat with Talstar PL granules.
    A

    Talstar PL granules should be used early to mid season to control the larvae of crane flies. This application should be made between August-February during times when the ground is not frozen. If treatments are made in March-April, they may only provide supression.

  • Asked by Terri from Norman Ok
    04/14/2013
    Q
    My grass is grown from seed - what other comparable product might I use to control fleas?
    A
    Most insecticides will not interrupt the growth of grass so anything that is labeled for flea control should be just fine to use. Most insecticides do have a disclaimer not to use on grass grown for seed (not to be mistaken as grass grown from seed). Talstar PL would be a great choice.
