Talstar is a professional-grade insecticide that can be used for indoor and outdoor pest control, as well as in food handling areas. It is also effective for treating turf and ornamental plants, and can be used as a yard spray to control fleas and other yard pests.
Talstar is a contact insecticide, which means that it must come into direct contact with the insects in order to be effective. It is typically applied as a spray, but it can also be applied as a dust or fog. The amount of Talstar that needs to be applied will vary depending on the type of insect and the area being treated.
Talstar is a relatively safe insecticide when used according to label instructions. However, it is important to wear gloves and eye protection when handling it, and to keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
Here are some additional safety precautions to take when using Talstar:
Do not apply Talstar when it is windy, as this could blow the insecticide onto plants or animals that you do not want to treat.
Do not apply Talstar to wet surfaces, as this could reduce its effectiveness.
Do not apply Talstar more often than recommended on the label.
