Research trials and field tests conducted by industry professionals have proven that with the addition of its powerful new active ingredient (Zeta-Cypermethrin), Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide eliminates fire ant colonies within four hours or less. And in some cases, the fire ant populations were decimated in minutes, not hours. At these speeds, other products can’t even come close to the control of Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide.
In addition to its breakthrough active ingredient, Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide has been formulated with the same long-lasting residual of Talstar PL Granular Insecticide, for the highly dependable control professionals have come to expect. While fire ants and other pests can be gone in as little as minutes, the residual protection of Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide is proven to remain effective for at least four months.
Talstar XTRA is approved for use on a wide variety of application sites, including residential lawns, institutional grounds, around buildings (public, commercial and industrial), parks, recreational areas and athletic fields.
Just OK

This product worked great... at first. Applied it correctly and it was like a nuclear bomb went off - no ants, no crickets, no anything. However, a week or so went by and the ants were back. Why? Probably because of local control. I have lots of sandy spots and those don't take to the poison well? I find the liquid talstar HARDER to apply, but it works better in all conditions. For some reason the granular works well for yards and areas with no sand, etc. The granules are also hard to spread in landscape beds. Talstar as a whole is the BEST so maybe the answer is to buy granular for the grassy areas that are usually large and hard to cover with spray and then buy the spray for the landscaping beds and sandy spots in your lawn. Either way BE CAREFUL this stuff is so toxic that in minutes lizards, crickets, and ants start to flee their hiding places and you'll find them everywhere... dead! 5 stars for the liquid Talstar for sure, 4 stars for Talstar XTRA because despite the fact it has pretty ant(s) on the packaging it is not that great for ant(s) and may not work around planting beds, near sidewalks, and/or empty patches in lawns.

We were getting ready to have a big birthday party for the Grandson and found too many fire ants to take the chance. We used the Talstar Xtra on the recomendation of a friend who is in the pest control business. We spread 50 pounds with the lawn spreader and didn't see one ANT at the party. Great product, Thanks.

I put the granules out around the shrubbery and foundation of the house according to directions. I used the Talstar spray a month ago on the walls of the house. My roach problem has almost been elimintated. The Roaches I do see don't feel so good. Along with most other houses in Macon, last week we had our yearly infestation of redbugs crawling everywhere - except where that I had sprayed with Talstar. Good stuff and I like the lack of odor and ease of use. Make certain you have a good spreader.

Tried all types of sprays etc. Used Bug Be Gone and others. The mounds kept popping up. They are destroying my lawn and my neighbors lawns too.
Yes, Talstar XTRA Granules is labeled for mole crickets, and would certainly take care of them in you lawn. It would also provide you with a 2-3 month residual as well.

I currently spot treat the piles but they pop up over and over in different areas of the property. My previous order of Talstar-p from you has been a success so far for treating the perimeter of my residence.

We are going to order Demand CS for the house now and also need something for the yard.
Demand CS can also be applied to the lawn for the listed insects on the products label. Or if you were interested in a granular, Talstar XTRA Granules are labeled to be broadcast on your lawn for scorpions.
Talstar XTRA typically lasts 60-90 days.

Talstar XTRA Granules is safe for all lawn types when used as directed on the product label.
Yes, you can apply Talstar XTRA Granules after an aeration in the lawn. You will need to water them in after the application so that you activate the active ingredient.

Looks like many different types of ants, no problem indoors but have taken over front and backyards! Would prefer something simple to use without having to mix up huge quantities (already doing this for roach control)
