Talstar P Professional Insecticide - Questions & Answers

Asian beetles are generally seen as beneficial in gardens as they eat other bugs that are known to cause damage to plants. If this is not a vegetable garden and you need to get rid the Asian beetles, you can use Talstar P at a rate of 1 ounce per gallon of water.

Talstar P can be used to help control cluster flies indoors and outdoors. If the cluster flies have already made their way indoors, they will be harder to control because they usually hide in a wall void or other inaccessible area and are only visible when the house warms up.

Using small fly lights such as the Fly Web in the house would also help to catch the flies.
