Does it: 1) permeate the insects skin (by walking over it) or 2) must it be ingested by feeding or 3) by cleaning itself after walking over the treated area?
The active ingredient in Talstar is Bifenthrin, which works by interferring with the nervous system of insects when they eat or touch it after contacting a treated surface. It works when they groom themselves they will ingest it.
