Put an end to fire ant colonies fast. The Talstar EZ granular program is proven to eliminate dangerous fire ant invaders within 24 hours, allowing you to give customers their yard back when they want it. For quick and reliable colony control and long-term protection against reinfestation of invading fire ants, combine treatment with an application of Talstar Professional insecticide.

LAWN AND PERIMETER APPLICATIONS

Lawn Application: Broadcast Talstar EZ granular insecticide with suitable application equipment to ensure uniform coverage over the treatment area.

Armyworms, Cutworms, and Sod Webworms Treatment with Talstar EZ Graular:

To ensure optimum control, irrigate the treated area with up to 0.1 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide.

Annual Bluegrass Weevil (Hyperodes) adults Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Applications of Talstar EZ Granular should be timed to control adult weevils as they leave their overwintering sites and move into grass areas. This movement generally begins when Forsythia is in full bloom and concludes when flowering dogwood is in full bloom. Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service for more specific information regarding application timing.

Billbug adults Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Applications of Talstar EZ Granular should be made when adult billbugs are first observed during April and May. Degree day models have been developed to optimize application timing. Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service for information specific to your region. In temperate regions, spring applications targeting billbug adults will also provide control of over-wintered chinch bugs.

Black Turfgrass Ataenius adults Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Applications of Talstar EZ Granular should be made during May and July to control the first and second generation of black turfgrass ataenius adults, respectively. The May application should be timed to coincide with the full bloom stage of Vanhoutte spiraea (Spiraea vanhouttei) and horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum). The July application of Talstar EZ Granular should be timed to coincide with the blooming of Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus).

Chinch Bugs Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Chinch bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often found in the thatch layer. Irrigate the treated area with up to 0.25 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide. Chinch bugs can be one of the most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher applications rates may be required to control populations that contain both nymphs and adults during the summer.

Flea larvae Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Flea larvae develop in the soil of shaded areas that are accessible to pets or other animals. Irrigate the treated area with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide.

Imported Fire ants Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Control will be optimized by combining broadcast applications that will control foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens with mound treatments that will eliminate existing colonies. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application. Broadcast treatments should apply up to 0.4 lb AI/A. Mounds should be treated by applying 1/2 cup of Talstar EZ Granular per mound and then drenching the mound with 1 to 2 gallons of water. The mounds should be treated with sufficient force to break their apex and allow the insecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. A four foot diameter circle around the mound should also be treated. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 - 80F) or in early morning or late evening hours.

Mole Cricket adults Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Achieving acceptable control of adult mole crickets is difficult because preferred grass areas are subject to continuous invasion during the early spring by this extremely active stage. Applications of Talstar EZ Granular should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized. Grass areas that receive pressure from adult mole crickets should be treated at peak egg hatch to ensure optimum control of subsequent nymph populations.

Mole Cricket nymphs Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Grass areas that received intense adult mole cricket pressure in the spring should be treated immediately prior to peak egg hatch. Optimal control is achieved at this time because young nymphs are more susceptible to insecticides and they are located near the soil surface where the insecticide is most concentrated. Control of larger, more damaging, nymphs later in the year may require both higher application rates and more frequent applications to maintain acceptable control. Applications should be made as late in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized.

Ticks (Including ticks that transmit Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever) Treatment EZ Granular:

Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use higher application rates when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Do not allow public use of treated areas during application.

Deer ticks (Ixodes sp.) have a complicated life cycle that ranges over a two year period and involves four life stages. Applications of Talstar EZ Granular should be made in mid to late spring to control larvae and nymphs that reside in the soil and leaf litter.

American dog ticks may be a considerable nuisance in suburban settings, particularly where homes are built on land that was previously field or forest. These ticks commonly congregate along paths or roadways where humans are likely to be encountered. Applications of Talstar EZ Granular should be made as necessary from mid-spring to early fall to control American dog tick larvae, nymphs and adults.

Fire ant mound Treatment with Talstar EZ Treatment with Talstar EZ Granular:

Apply 1/2 cup of Talstar EZ Granular Insecticide per mound and then drench the mound with 1 to 2 gallons of water. The mound should be drenched with sufficient force to break its apex and allow the insecticide to flow into the ant tunnels. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 to 80F) or in early morning or late evening hours. Treat new mounds as they appear. Food utensils such as teaspoons and measuring cups should not be used for food purposes after use with insecticide

General Information of InTice Granular Bait

A broad spectrum granular bait with 10% boric acid. The increased amount of boric acid cuts the application rate in half and makes InTice 10 the most economical bait on the market.

Outdoor Perimeter Application: Apply bait at a rate of 4 lbs per 1000 square feet (6 oz or 1.25 cups per 100 square feet). Use a hand shaker, duster or mechanical spreader to apply the bait. Apply in a band from two up to four feet wide around the perimeter of buildings. Also apply around exterior light fixtures and along the edges of sidewalks, patios and driveways and under decks. Pay particular attention to potential insect harborage sites such as mulch beds, flowerbeds, compost heaps, wood piles, trees, stumps and trash areas and apply bait at the more liberal application rate in these areas. Do not apply the bait directly to paved or similar hard surfaces and do not pile the bait. The bait may also be sprinkled in and around rodent bait stations to control insects that harbor in these stations. When treating for ants, apply ½ to 1 oz of bait around ant mounds and sprinkle along foraging trails. For ants, including Carpenter ants, pay particular attention to harborage areas and apply bait around trees and stumps, in tree cavities, in and around firewood piles, around landscaping stones and in mulch beds. Ants can take the bait back to the nest and kill the colony. Bait may also be applied in insect bait stations. Reapply bait after one week if infestation is still present. To prevent large insect populations from developing around structures in warm months, a quarterly application around the perimeter and to harborage areas, as described above, at a rate of 1 lb per 1000 square feet is recommended. This treatment is particularly effective to help prevent the establishment of large colonies of pest ants. InTice Granular Bait may be used in combination with registered non-repellent insecticides (products containing the active ingredients imidacloprid or fipronil). If the perimeter is treated with a repellent insecticide (eg. pyrethroid), the bait may still be used around the perimeter, but it should be applied in a band outside the repellent barrier for best results. As a separate matter from the use of this product, as part of an IPM program, it is recommended that overhanging trees and other vegetation touching the structure be trimmed back, and cracks or gaps around pipes and window and door frames be sealed to minimize potential insect entry into buildings.

Sewer Application: Apply bait along ledges inside sewers and around manhole covers.

Indoor Application: Apply bait only in areas inaccessible to children and pets, or in tamper-resistant bait stations. Apply bait at a rate of 6 oz (1.25 cups) per 100 square feet. Using a hand shaker or duster, apply bait in attics, crawl spaces, trash closets, utility closets, dropped ceilings, on dirt or gravel cellar floors, under and behind appliances and vending machines, in wall voids and voids under and behind cabinets, sinks and tubs, in drawer wells, garbage chutes, pipe chases, elevator pits, around drains, around electrical conduits and in cracks and crevices where insects may harbor. Focus application in areas where insects or their signs are seen. Reapply bait after one week if infestation is still present. A power duster may be used to apply bait in appropriate areas, such as attics and crawlspaces. The duster manufacturer recommendations for settings should be followed.

Application tips for certain sites follow:

1. In attics, be sure to get bait near the eaves and vent pipes where insects often first enter, as well as around any pipes or potential access points between the attic and the main structure. Attics should have proper ventilation to insure that no food odor from the bait seeps into the living area, particularly in hot weather. If in doubt, apply the product in a manner such that it can be easily removed.

2. When treating cabinetry areas, if there is no gap between the lower cabinets and the kick plate, then small holes can be drilled to access the voids. Escutcheon plates around pipes can also be pulled back to allow access to voids.

3. The bottom drawers in kitchen and bathroom cabinets can be removed and bait dusted into drawer wells. No bait should be left exposed when drawers are replaced.

4. Electrical switch plate covers can be removed to allow access to voids, but bait should not be applied directly in electrical boxes.

5. If there are cracks between baseboards, cabinets, door frames, hinges, counters or trim, and walls, these cracks can be lightly dusted with bait. If practical, these areas can be sealed once insect problems have been eliminated, to help prevent future problems.

6. Insects need moisture, so kitchen and bath areas and areas immediately surrounding them, and any other damp areas should be carefully inspected and treated if necessary. As a separate matter from the use of this product, it is advisable to fix any leaks to minimize structural damage and odors, and to prevent potential chronic insect problems. To help prevent insect problems from developing in homes and similar structures, a preventative program is recommended. Once per year, apply bait in attics and crawlspaces at a rate of 8 oz per 1000 square feet.

Food Processing and Handling Establishment Application, including Federally-Inspected Meat and Poultry Plants: Follow instructions for other sites as appropriate. In food areas, only apply bait in cracks, crevices, and other inaccessible areas. Avoid contamination of food and feedstuffs. Never apply bait directly to a surface where food is stored, prepared or served. Any bait that is left visible after treatment should be swept into cracks and crevices or removed.

Turf Application: Apply bait evenly over the affected area using a hand shaker or mechanical spreader at a rate of 2 lbs per 1000 square feet or 90 lbs per acre. The product should not be watered in. For mole cricket treatments, results will be best if the area is irrigated prior to bait treatment. Mole crickets typically come to the surface to feed in the evening.
