    This stuff is awesome. I have a treeline on the other side of my fence and because of the rains we have been getting mosquitos have been horrible this year. I sprayed our entire backyard to include the common hangout areas for them and the next day I was able to enjoy my deck without getting bit once. Great product.

    I've had an infestation of clover mites in my "she shed" in the backyard. It's not by the thousands, but they're on the floor, and I keep finding one or two crawling on this wall....that wall.... I've used Talstar Pro along the baseboards, I'm vacuuming every day in my shed, and I tried to spray the exterior. Next I need to caulk along the baseboards of my shed. But I just don't know how long it's going to take to get rid of them. I can't quite get comfortable in here because every time I look, there's one or two crawling across my desk, or on my walls. It's so annoying! I am going to add some garden beds around the rest of my shed so that I can create a barrier around the rest of my shed.

      An infestation of clover mites can be unfortunate and depending on the level of activity, may take a some time to begin seeing results and/or eliminating them. We do have a Clover Mite Control article www.domyown.com/clover-mite-control-a-226.html you may like to review for further tips and information. You can use Talstar P www.domyown.com/talstar-professional-insecticide-p-97.html to treat indoors and outdoors. This is our most economical option, and it provides great results. However, if you are concerned about resistance issues, you can use Temprid FX Insecticide www.domyown.com/temprid-fx-insecticide-p-17130.html, which is a little more expensive, but it includes two active ingredients and can be quite effective as well.

    So it should not be applied more than once every seven days but has a long lasting residual? Sorry I am confused???

    • @domyown
      @domyown  3 года назад +5

      Talstar P Professional Insecticide offers a 30-day residual when applied outdoors and a 90-day residual indoors. The product can be applied once every 7 days. This type of application is only typically recommended when dealing with a severe active infestation of a pest. Retreating more frequently allows you to eliminate the active infestation quicker. If you are not dealing with this type of issue, reapplying every 30 days outside and every 90 days inside should be effective. I hope my answer provides some clarity for you.

    • @domyown
      @domyown  3 месяца назад +1

      Talstar P will kill crickets. Apply Talstar P as a crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Do not use as a space spray. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices. We recommend treating the outside perimeter to help stop insect pests from coming indoors to start with. Apply Talstar P to a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet.

      @domyown  3 года назад +1

      If an over application of the product was made we cannot say exactly how safe or toxic it would be as that would also be determined a little by how and where it was applied. If it was sprayed outdoors, you could come back and water in some of the area to help wash some of the concentration from the surface, or if indoors you can clean any baseboards it may have been applied to. For further info on any risks it may pose, you can contact the manufacturer FMC directly at 800-321-1362.

    Very interesting. Is this the same stuff or similar to what Terminix sprays around the house? I can't keep paying $400 a year for Terminix. (Way over priced). They came and helped out when I had a rat that kept digging under my foundation to live in my mostly crawl space cellar. My own rat pellets are what I think killed the rat and I got its body out of there. Does this stuff help repel rats as well as insects?

    • @domyown
      @domyown  2 года назад

      Talstar P is still toxic to bees after it dries. Talstar is not a selective insecticide and any insect that lands on treated surfaces will be impacted. Talstar, like all pyrethroids, is indeed toxic to fish. Applications should be kept at least 20 feet away from bodies of water to avoid run off getting into the water.

      The best time of year to spray is when the ticks are in their early nymphal stage. This is usually May to June, then once a month through the season. You may start applying insecticides as preventative for any bugs, at anytime once spring starts. It is best to be prepared early than starting late. Hope this helps, have a wonderful day!

    Hi, I sprayed my yard and house all over with bifen.... I sprayed the patio light right outside my door..... so far so good with mosquitos and keeping bugs out, but tonight, 6 days after spraying (no rain for 48 hours after I sprayed) when I was out at night with patio light on, the flies were BAD right at the light... swarming the light.... I sprayed the light and surrounding part of the house by the light... this was the 1st time since I sprayed that I went outside with patio light on..... will the flies that kept hitting the light eventually die off from the residual of the bifen it (7.9%) or is bifen just not effective for flies that are attracted to the light?

    • @domyown
      @domyown  3 года назад

      Talstar will only kill flies that come in direct contact with the product. You should locate and eliminate the breeding source of the flies, since control will be very difficult relying on sprays. An easy and effective tool is the Flies Be Gone Fly Trap www.domyown.com/flies-be-gone-fly-trap-p-466.html , which catches thousands of flies from up to 100 yards away. This trap is disposable and should be hung about 30 feet away from the house or other areas where you spend time. Please see our Flies Pest Guide for more information. www.domyown.com/fly-identification-guide-a-507.html

    So do you use the crack and crevice setting and straw for all indoor use? Currently I just have a $10 Chapin sprayer, and a lot more water comes out than I need for indoors. They don't have an extendable straw that I know of, so I'm looking into the B&G sprayer now. The straw seems like it's better suited to treating cabinets and baseboards and not getting it all wet. Am i right in thinking that the straw seems almost necessary? I'm still new to this and would appreciate the input. Thanks!

    • @domyown
      @domyown  6 лет назад +2

      Thank you for your question! It is not required to use a crack and crevice straw for indoor pesticide applications. You can typically adjust your sprayer tip to create a fine pin stream rather than a wide cone stream so that less product is coming out at a time. You can choose to use the B&G 1 Gallon sprayer using the CC tip and crack and crevice straw for more detailed applications. You could also use an aerosol ready-to-use product which comes with a crack and crevice straw instead of using a concentrate indoors. If you would like more detailed assistance regarding the specific pest(s) you are targeting, please feel free to call us at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.
