Matthew from Slidell, La writes
The soil that I have is infested with fire ants and I am putting it in a raised garden. How long do I have to wait until I can plant my vegetables?
Talstar P is not labeled to be used around anything edible. It can stay in the soil for up to 5-7 years so any treated soil would not be able to be used. For treating fire ant mounds in a garden you could use Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer which is labeled for use on selected agricultural crops and food bearing plants.
