It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use and can be used on trees, plants, bushes, and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf-eating pests.
Talstar is also available in a granule formula called Talstar PL if you prefer to use granules.
Talstar P would be a great option for indoor spraying along baseboards and in cracks and crevices for general pests.
Talstar P residual may dry on glass surfaces if you spray them, but if diluted correctly, then it should dry clear. If you have any milky residue, then you can wipe it off with a damp paper towel or cloth.

We recommend that you treat with the products in our Indoor Flea Kit. Also, please take a few moments to read our guide on How To Get Rid of Fleas for more helpful information.

Talstar P is labeled for spider control, however, it can be toxic to bees if they're sprayed directly or if they land on the residual. It is not harmful to birds but it is recommended to keep them and all animals out of the area while making an application. Once the application is completely dry, it's safe. If you prefer to spray something that will be non-toxic to bees once it's dry, you can use Mavrik Perimeter.

Talstar P is labeled to treat for termites and lasts for about 5 years in the ground when trenching. A better option for subterranean termites would be non-repellents like Termidor SC or Taurus SC. Termidor and Taurus will last up to 10 years in the soil. Non-repellents work slower but are much more effective when treating a termite colony as they are able to be transferred through the entire colony therefore eventually eliminating the colony.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide is toxic to beneficial insects as well. The manufacturer recommends to apply when bees are not pollinating.
