Talstar P is our most popular selling product for mosquito control. It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using any hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio you are trying to provide relief at. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out. It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control. It is also very good for bees and wasps, however you would not want to apply it or any other product directly to play sets where children will touch treated surfaces. Also, Talstar P is labeled for over 100 different insects and will work in just about any situation.
You should caliberate your sprayer to disperse 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.
If the application of Talstar P Professional Insecticide had time to dry before the sprinklers went off, it should be ok. If you applied at the highest rate of 1 fl oz per gallon of water, you will need to wait 30 days before reapplying or 7 days if applied at the lower 0.5 fl oz per gallon rate was used.
The product label advises to apply when there is no rain or watering for atleast 24 hours after the application.
