Talstar P (aka Talstar, Talstar Pro, or Talstar Professional), manufactured by FMC Technologies, is a professional-grade insecticide that will treat and control over 75 insects found inside and outside building structures. With various types of application methods, Talstar P Professional will eliminate fleas, cockroaches, spiders, bed bugs, and more.

This long-lasting insecticide contains the active ingredient Bifenthrin 7.9%, which targets the insects nervous system, disorienting the insect to the point where they die. Once applied it serves as a repellent creating a barrier treatment against nuisance pests for up to 90 days.

Talstar P is water-based, odorless, contains no plant-damaging chemicals, and will not leave behind a visible residue on plants. This product is also ideal for professional use as an outside termite treatment for residential foundations. Talstar P Professional is a versatile insect treatment product to ensure pests that are hiding in cracks, crevices, soil, plants, and other areas will be eliminated.

Tools Needed

For treatment applications of Talstar P, you can use a hand-pump sprayer, hose-end sprayer, or a backpack sprayer. Spray rigs can be used for large volume applications. If using Talstar P to treat termites through trenching, you will need a pickaxe or shovel to dig a trench, and a bucket with at least a 5 gallon capacity. Termite injection tools for treating under slabs will also be needed.

How to Use

Spraying Talstar Pro

Step 1: First, determine how much Talstar P Professional you need by measuring the treatment area. You can do this by multiplying the length and width of your selected area to get the total square footage (length x width = square footage.) For general pest control indoors and outdoors, we recommend spraying at either a 0.02% dilution at 0.33 fl. oz. in a gallon of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft., or a 0.06% dilution at 1 fl. oz. per 1 gallon of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. Use the higher rate for a heavy pest infestation, a quicker knockdown or longer residual control. For example, if you have a 2,000 square foot area to be treated at a 0.06% dilution, you would need 2 oz of Talstar P mixed with 2 gallons of water.

Step 2: Now that you have finished measuring your treatment area, it is time to create your solution. Fill your tank with the required amount of water, then add your measured amount of Talstar P Professional. Shake well to create a thorough solution. If you choose to mix in an additional product, such as an insect growth regulator, add it to the solution and shake again.

Step 3: Apply the Talstar Pro mixture as a coarse, low-pressure spray to your target areas. Outdoors, spray common entry points, such as windows, doors, voids where plumbing penetrates the walls, and eaves. For perimeter treatments, spray 2 to 3 feet up the structure's foundation, and spray 6 to 10 feet out.

For indoor spraying, only use Talstar Pro as a crack-and-crevice or spot spray to areas pests like to hide, such as under appliances, under sinks, on baseboards, or around doors and windows.

Termite Control: Talstar P can be applied as a perimeter trench treatment using 4 gallons of solution per 10 linear feet at a rate of 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water.

Where to Use

Talstar Pro can be used for residential, industrial, livestock, barn, commercial, and food-handling areas. It can be sprayed around doors, windows, wall voids, and weep holes. It is ideal for outdoor treatments on surface areas around building structures such as exterior siding, foundations, porches, trees, flowerbeds, and shrubs.

When to Use

Use Talstar P Professional as a quick knockdown treatment when you notice insect activity. It can also be used as a preventative treatment plan for fleas with a residual that lasts for up to 90 days and house fly control that lasts for up to 30 days. Re-treating areas should occur no more than once every 7 days when there are signs of new insect activity. When spraying outdoors, it is best to apply Talstar P Professional in the morning when temperatures and wind speeds are generally low.

Safety Information

Talstar P Professional is safe around children and pets when used according to the product label. Read the product label before making any applications, as Talstar P can be applied to various surfaces in different ways. Allow the product to completely dry before re-entering the treated area. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying Talstar P Professional.

Special Considerations

Individuals and companies need the proper licensing before using Talstar P Professional as an outdoor termiticide around the perimeter of a building structure.

Talstar is Great for happy wife
I use the termite application instructions to create in the Spring and Fall a bug "death zone" to keep the bugs and spiders out of the house for my wife. Happy wife, happy life. I buy it in the 3/4 gallon size and use about the whole thing every year.

Talstar Pro
I've used Talstar Pro at 4 applications per year over the last 3 years with great results. Keeps ants and every other bug that roams the exterior of my house out for the most part. The ones, that are few, that make it in are met with the interior application of the same solution @ the same strength and that takes care of things.
I have a pet so I just let her out when I'm spraying inside and back in when it has dried. Have not had any problems with animals being around Talstar.
I originally had this applied by a pest control company and they stated the amount and dilution on the receipt so I followed the regimen they set up and now it is much less costly and I can do it when it is convenient.
I recommend this product to folks that need an effective bug stopper for their home.

Perfect insect yard maintenance
Have been using Talstar weekly in a hose end sprayer for the past month and a half to treat for skeeters, no see ums, gnats, whatever bug that what’s to ruin a good time. We haven’t had mosquitos in a few weeks, everything else is dwindling down significantly. We’re in south Florida, it’s hot and muggy in the evenings and it’s just not pleasant to be outside and summer has only just started. We have been spending every evening outside with no issues. I love this stuff, paired with Tekko for an IGA and you have a beautiful cocktail to serve up to your unwanted insect guests. I treated with Tekko the first application along with Bifen (generic of Talstar) granules that I broadcasted. I look forward to my weekly spray down, the difference is incredible!

  4. Q:How is this for your pets?
    9/5/22
    A:It must dry before it is pet safe. Do not let pets or children in the area being sprayed for that day. I began using this product when I owned a restaurant and it was the only pesticide that was safe enough to use around food equipment. It works great for many different kinds of insects-long lasting too.
