Unfortunately, Talstar P is not labeled to treat for fruit flies. Getting rid of fruit flies doesn't have to be diffucult. The most important step is to be sure that you discard or refrigerate any ripe produce as insects are naturally drawn to overripe, rotting, and spoled produce. Regularly rinse out and clean gargabe cans and recycling bins. Most times doing these small little things will take care of the problem. However, should you need to use a product to help you get rid of them one of the best ways to kill fruit flies is to use a fuit fly trap like the Vector 960 Furit Fly Trap. These have attractants in them that attract the fruit flies to them, and once they are inside they cannot get out. You can also use an aerosol product to help with the populations as well like 565 Plus XLO.
Yes, Talstar P is labeled for thrips, but it will take time to kill thrips and you should allow several weeks to see complete results.
