Talak 7.9 Mix Ratio FAQ
Everything you need to know about mixing and applying Talak 7.9% F bifenthrin insecticide.
According to the product label, Talak 7.9% F is generally mixed at 1 to 6 teaspoons per gallon of water for general surface and perimeter treatments, with one gallon of mixed solution typically covering 1,000 square feet. Specific pests and sites call for different rates within that range, so always confirm the rate for your target pest on the label.
These refer to the concentration of active ingredient in the final spray solution. A 0.02% suspension is made by mixing 0.33 fluid ounces of Talak 7.9% F per gallon of water, while a 0.06% suspension uses 1 fluid ounce per gallon. Higher percentages are used for heavier pest pressure or longer residual control, per the product label.
For mosquito control, the label lists a high rate of 1 fluid ounce (6 teaspoons) per gallon of water. This is applied as a barrier spray around outdoor living areas and vegetation where mosquitoes rest.
1 fluid ounce equals 6 teaspoons, which is the same as 2 tablespoons. The product label specifically notes not to use household kitchen utensils to measure Talak 7.9% F, so a proper measuring device such as a graduated cylinder or dosing cup should be used instead.
For general surface and lawn treatments, 1 gallon of mixed solution per 1,000 square feet is common. For dense grass or heavy foliage, the label allows for higher spray volumes of up to 10 gallons per 1,000 square feet to ensure uniform coverage, while low-volume applications under 2 gallons per 1,000 square feet are used to target sub-surface pests.
Per the product label, repeat applications should only be made if there are signs of renewed insect activity, and applications should not exceed one treatment per 7 days.
Mixed solution should be used within 24 hours of mixing. Solutions made with bifenthrin, the active ingredient in Talak 7.9% F, should not be stored for longer than one day, so only mix the amount needed for same-day application.
No. This calculator is a convenience tool for working out mixing volumes based on publicly available label rates. Always read, understand, and follow the current EPA-approved Talak 7.9% F product label and safety data sheet before mixing or applying any pesticide, as rates can vary by pest, site, and state registration.
