Talstar P will do a great job for boxelder bugs! We do not recommend that you use soap with the Talstar P or any other insecticides. The Talstar P may be used to spray directly on the plant foliage and it can be used inside and outside of the home. Please take a moment to look at our "How to Get Rid of Boxelder Bugs" article for more detailed information about this type of pest.
Unfortunately, Talstar P is not labeled to be used on edible vegetables. Please click the link below for a list of products that can be applied to edibles.
You can do a tank mix with Talstar P and GrazeonNext HL Herbicide however, you would NOT mix them if the pasture land you are treating is being used by any type of animals. The Talstar P is not labeled for use on any grazing pastures.
We do not recommend to spray Talstar P or any other liquid around electrical outlets. We recommend to dust in those areas. Please see our Dust and Dusters page.

EcoVia EC can safely be applied in and around homes, businesses, near and over water such as boat docks and pool areas without harming aquatic life, as well as numerous other areas. Please follow label instructions for your target pest and application.
Talstar P shoudl be mixed at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water. It is safe for pets when used as directed. You should always follow the application rates that are listed on the product label.
While Talstar P is labeled for roaches, it is not generally recommended as there can be resistancy issues within a roach population with a product like this. We would recommend using a product like Temprid SC instead. Temprid SC has two active ingredients in it to combat a roach infestations, and doesn't have the resistancy issues that a product with only one active ingredient might have. You may want to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing roaches.
Depending on what you are treating for, you may definitely use the Talstar P and your choice of IGR with it. It is not necessary for you to mix two IGR's with the Talstar P. Either NyGuard or Archer IGR and Talstar can be mixed into the same gallon of water and sprayed for control of Fleas, Stored Product Pests, listed Roaches (German, Asian, and Brown-banded), Crickets, Litter Beetles, and Flying Insects.
