Since Talstar P is a non-selective herbicide, it could potentially kill bees. It is recommended that you spray when pollinators are not active, either in the early morning or late evening, and that you avoid spraying flowering plants to reduce risk to pollinators.
Yes, you can apply Talstar P as a broadcast spray if you need to treat for turf pests or surface pests such as ants, webworms, chinch bugs, etc. You can use up to 1 oz per 1000 sq ft.
Talstar P Professional Insecticide can be mixed with insect growth regulators such as Precor IGR. Be aware though that Precor is only labeled for use indoors but Talstar cannot be used as a broadcast across surfaces inside the home such as carpets (it is only for cracks and crevices) so if you are treating for fleas it is not the best option as an insecticide. Instead you should use something like Conquer or Onslaught.

Millipedes are usually going to be present when there is a lot of moisture in the area. If you have a lot of mulch near your house you may want to consider raking it back at least six inches away from the house. Also trimming bushes so that you can see the soil beneath them and so they do not touch the house will help reduce soil moisture and stop the insects from gaining access to the house via the bushes. Talstar P would be a great choice for this pest. You would apply around the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages.

There would be no valid reason to mix Talstar P and Termidor SC together. This would nullify the non repellent factor of the Termidor SC.

If you are looking for a product that you can use more freely around your home for ant control as well as other insects, then the Talstar P would be the better option to stick with.
