The granules are specially formulated to the correct size and weight to prevent the product from being blown away when making applications. Talstar PL Insecticide Granules remain effective during watering or rain and it does not need water to activate the granules.
Talstar PL Insecticide Granules is a unique and long-lasting granule insecticide that can easily penetrate thick surfaces such as mulch for complete pest protection.

Tools Needed
You will need a handheld spreader, push spreader, or some 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 measuring the size of the treatment area. You can do this by measuring the length and width of your treatment area in feet, and then multiplying those numbers together (length x width = square footage). Talstar can be applied between 1.15 lbs to 4.6 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft., depending on the pest you wish to treat. For example, if you treat armyworms and measure a 2,500 sq. ft. lawn, you would need 2.88 lbs of Talstar to cover the area.
- Step 2: Pour the required amount of Talstar Granules into the spreader and set the settings according to the label, which will be determined by the type of spreader equipment used.
- Step 3: When using a push spreader, walk steadily, ensuring the granules are dispersed evenly in targeted areas. You may have to do two perpendicular passes to get even coverage. Afterward, water the soil about half an inch unless rain is forecast.
- Step 4: Reapply every 2 to 4 months, and do not apply more than 100 pounds per acre.
