90, 95, 100 degrees? How long can it be stored at these temps before it affects the Talstar? In what way does it affect it? I am assuming it might make it less effective -- if so, how much less effective? On the other end of the scale, if stored in the same shed over the winter and it freezes outside periodically, how does this affect Talstar? Thanks.
When storing any insecticide such as Talstar P, an extreme temperature is anything below 35 degrees and anything over 90 degrees. Storing above or below these temps for more than a few hours can decrease the effectiveness of the product and cause it to separate as well as the potential for the chemical to break down. Freezing and unfreezing is biggest concern so products should not be left outside in a shed over the winter. If any product is only exposed to sub freezing temperatures for a short period of time and the product looks exactly the same as before it was exposed, it should be fine.
