Does anyone know if this will kill fleas? I am aware that they are not listed but was curious if it killed the reproduction possibly. Also would like to spray as few chemicals as possible we have several pets as well as neighbors pets and would hate to hurt them.
Taurus SC is not labeled for fleas, nor is it allowed to be used anywhere fleas would be an issue. It cannot be sprayed indoors at all, and it cannot be sprayed beyond 2 feet of the structures foundation. It would be more harmful to use this outside of its label than it would be to use two different chemicals on the same property for two different purposes. Talstar P is a very widely used insecticide for lawn treatments of fleas, ticks, and similar insects and can be applied monthly if needed to the lawn. Pets need to be out of the direct treatment area while application is being made, and until all the surfaces have dried. This is usually around 2 hours or so after spraying.
