    Q
    Is Talstar P a contact kill?
    Just worried they won't die because I directly spray one and it didn't die just wanted to run away but a little slow.
    A

    Talstar P does not provide an instant knockdown of pests, rather, pests pick up the residual active ingredient by contact.  It works by disrupting an insect's nervous system, causing a weakened state followed by death.

    Q
    Is Talstar safe to use around pregnant dairy goats and chickens?
    Trying to find a safe option for our neighbor to use that will not affect our chickens, pullets, and pregnant dairy goats. Everything their company has brought up using is not for use around dairy goats so far. We have lost several animals to toxicity poisoning and do not want to lose any more.
    A

    Talstar P is safe to use around chickens and livestock as long as the animals aren’t grazing in the treated areas. After the application, you need to wait until the area is completely dry before letting the animals back onto the treated areas.

    Q
    What's a good second mode of action for Talstar?
    What would be a good second mode of action to tank mix with Talstar for outdoor/home perimeter application?
    A

    Talstar P (Talstar One) alone is good for perimeter treatment of general pests.  For some pests you would benefit from mixing an IGR like Nyguard IGR with it.  This prevents young insects (such as fleas, roaches, mosquitoes) from maturing into reproducing adults.
