Tools Needed
To apply Talstar PL Insecticide Granules, a handheld spreader, push spreader or some type of spreading device that will make an even application is needed. When applying to small areas, a handheld spreader is recommended.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Talstar you will need by first calculating the size of area being treated. You can do this by measuring the length and width of your yard, then multiplying those numbers together (length x width = square footage). Talstar can be appledb etween 1.15 lbs to 4.6 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. depending on the pest you wish to treat. For example, if you are treating for Armyworms and measured a 2,500 sq. ft. lawn, you would need 2.875 lbs of Talstar to cover the area.
- Step 2: Pour the required amount of Talstar LP Insecticide Granules in the spreader and set the spreader settings according to label, which will be determined by the type of spreader equipment being used.
- Step 3: When using a push spreader walk with a steady pace making sure the granules are dispersed evenly on targeted areas. You may have to do two perpendicular passes to get even coverage. Afterward, water the soil with about 1/2 inch of water, unless rain is in the forecast.
- Step 4: Reapply every 2 to 4 months and do not apply more than 100 pounds per acre.

It Works
This stuff is great. I had red ant mounds and fire ant mounds all over my yard and back property. I put down this product as directed, it rained that afternoon, and we have zero ants the very next day. Unlike other products you don't have to wait days or weeks in hope it might work. This stuff is the real deal. Very easy to apply and no ants.

This is sand with the poison soaked in. It is time release so it doesn't require as many applications as a liquid but it is more expensive.

Our second purchase of product. A friend recommended we try it. He learned of it from a professional. We have 14 acres, a third of which had a problem with ants. Our ant problem has gone way down. Property looks great, ant mounds are on the decline and are less notable.

Q:Will this kill ticks?6/7/22A:I’m not sure because I have never had a tic problem. I use this to control fire ants and it works very well. Talstar should work on tics because the label says it will if it is applied according to the directions on the bag.

Q:Will this help kill chinch bugs this late in the season?7/26/19A:Telstar works great against chinch bugs anytime. Used to get big box insecticide but the ingredients did not kill chinch bugs even though it stated on the label that it did. Diss some research through the University of Florida agriculture site and the ingredient in Talstar does kill chinch bugs. Haven’t had a problem In the two years I’ve been using Talstar.
