Talstar is a synthetic pyrethroid that is available in both
granular and liquid
concentrate forms. When label instructions are followed, it is very safe towards
non-target animals such as birds, reptiles and mammals. Talstar lasts much longer
than organophosphate pesticides such as Dursban, Diazinon, Malathion and Acephate.
We have had many reported cases of Talstar controlling molecrickets and small flies for up to two months, chinch bugs, ants and fire ants
for three months! Only 1 or 2 applications are needed each year for mole crickets. No special
site preparation is needed when treating for mole crickets with Talstar. Talstar is
very effective in controlling Asian Cockroaches,
Clover Mites, ants, fleas, chinch bugs and other turf and
ornamental pests. Scroll down for application/ ordering information for Talstar granules and Talstar concentrate. For more information about molecrickets, go to our Molecrickets Article. Using Talstar Granules For Mole Cricket ControlA 25lb. bag of Talstar is $32 and will treat up to 12,000 square feet. Talstar
granules are best applied through a hand seeder. The granules are tiny enough to fall
between blades of turf grass (out of sight from birds and pets), penetrating to the ground
or thatch area where it belongs. Because of the sand pebble sized granules, regular drop
spreaders and rotary spreaders do not give the precise coverage necessary.
A precise spreader such as our Granule Spreader
will give precise coverage of your Talstar granules without the headaches
of a push or pull type applicator. Using Talstar Liquid Concentrate For Mole Cricket ControlA pint of Talstar liquid concentrate is $49 and will treat 16,000
to 20,000 square feet, when spraying for mole crickets, 32,000 sq. ft. for
treating for chinch bugs and up to 64,000 sq. ft.
for ants, fireants or general
purpose pest prevention. This liquid concentrate is also available in a quart which
is only $69.00, gallon is $239.00, plus S&H. No special preparation of the lawn
is necessary. Simply apply Talstar concentrate at the rate of 1 ounce per thousand square
feet of turf, using your hose end sprayer. The label rate for killing ants with Talstar
liquid is only 1/2 ounce per thousand square feet. We have seen this product control ants for three months, at the rate of only
1/4 ounce per thousand square feet! Order
