I wonder if my talstar is old or I’m just having bad luck with rain and residual? I have horrible moths right now, and I just sprayed talstar last week and it’s my 3rd or 4th time since July 4th? I broke my sprayer last night so I put 6 oz in one of those hose sprayers and filled the rest with wster and went to town on my yard. Normally takes 2 oz of talstar at most for my yard so I’m curious how it worked.

I just came to say, in my experience you need to respray about every 5-7 days with talsar to stay on an infestation. Part of the problem for me and most is neighbors. You may kill your yard well but neighbors bugs move over.

Moths lay eggs and eggs hatch to caterpillars. So it’s very easy for moths to fly over.

Oh and I threw down some granular too but maybe it was old? 2-3 years at most. Put that down July 4th weekend too and moths are back which is frustrating it should be lasting 2 months.

I did everything you stated for a few years when they first started showing up, and now it's why I just ignore the moths. They don't damage anything in themselves, as you say, it's the larvae/worms.

Then I read about Anderson's on a blog, and for the past few years I've saved immense amounts of time and money by applying one application of Anderson's granular in the evening once I see a blade start being chewed and it kills them overnight... this is key because I have to walk my lawn daily.... for some this may not be a viable option. This results in negligible lawn damage and instant recovery. I usually end up putting it out twice over the course of a summer. I generally keep my Anderson's for 2 seasons before resupplying.
