You could use either Phantom or Talstar P in an area for roach control, but you would not want to spray both of these products in the same area. As a general rule for roach control, we recommend that you Spray Low and Bait High. Phantom would be preferred over Talstar for roach control because it is a non-repellent spray, meaning it has a slower kill on the individual insect so that you get some transfer effect back to other roaches which are hiding out of sight. We always recommend using a residual spray, IGR (such as the Gentrol Point Source), and a roach bait gel for the best results. We have more tips on these applications in our online Roach Treatment Guide. Please let us know if you have other questions anytime.
