    No, Talstar will not say on your plants or in the soil indefinitely.  When used on your lawn or ornamentals like flowers and shrubs, Talstar will last about 2 to 3 months depending on where you live and your climate.

    Q
    Can Talstar P be sprayed on my cucumber plants or vegetable garden?
    A

    Talstar P cannot be used directly on vegetables or fruits that are going to be consumed. We do carry several products that can be used on cucumbers and other edible vegetation such as Sevin and Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10%. Always read the product label of the product you select to make sure it is labeled for the plant you want to spray and for the pest you are trying to eliminate. The product labels are available for each product on our site and you can see the links for them on each individual product page.

    Q
    Can Talstar P kill broad mites and spider mites on indoor plants?
    We tested it on one plant at 7 mills per gal and added 1/2 teas. surfactant and it seemed to work. But the pamphlet that came with it doesn't really say how to do what need it to. So any advice would be great. Thanks
    A

    Yes, Talstar P is labeled for only spider mites and clover mites. While it might kill broad mites as well it is not labeled for them so we cannot recommend it for this use.

    Q
    Upon spraying the soffit its possible that some dripped into my container plants.
    I use containers on the porch to grow annuals and vegetables (tomatoes/cukes etc). Do I now have to dispose of the soil or can I wait a year (toxicity ends after time?) and just plant ornamentals this year. I dig in that dirt is it harmful to me?
    A
    We recommend you contact FMC to get their advise since Talstar P is not labeled for use on edibles. You can reach FMC at 800-321-1362.

    Q
    Bermuda grass turning brown after being sprayed with Talstar P.
    I sprayed my Bermuda grass when it was around 92 degrees in the afternoon. My grass is now turning brown, is this normal? Will my grass be okay?
    A
    We do advise not spraying Talstar P during the heat of day to avoid scorching your lawn which is what could have happened to your lawn.  When used as directed Talstar should not harm the grass and it should be ok after a while with watering and time as the product is not a systemic that would be absorbed through the plant.

    Q
    Can I use Talstar P at 1 oz per gallon in an area that some will fall on my lawn without killing the grass?
    A
    Talstar is labeled to apply on turf, ornamentals, trees, and almost any other surface or plant.  It is our best selling product to spray on the yard and on shrubs, bushes, and trees for mosquitoes and other insects that harm grass and trees.  So you don't have to worry about it killing the grass.  The only thing you should not apply Talstar to is a garden with anything edible.

    Q
    Is there a way to deter horse flies? We get alot of them by our pool.
    A
    Horseflies and many other species of biting flies tend to develop on the edge of bodies of water and since they are strong fliers these breeding areas can be near or far which makes finding the source next to impossible. You can apply a product such as Talstar P around the pool area and flies that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Using Talstar will give some relief but since these flies can fly over treated areas it can be tough to get complete control. Relief should be on the way soon however as horsefly season is usually on 3-6 weeks long
