I need to kill ants and roly poly bugs (those that roll up in a ball) because the roly polys are eating my plants roots/bulbs. The ants are everywhere and get in the house, but to go around the perimeter of the house I'd have to also apply the Talstar to some flowerbeds. And I'd want to put it in every flowerbed IF it won't harm the earthworms because they are beneficial and I want to especially rid the beds of roly polys.
Talstar P could potentially harm earthworms and other benficials should they come in contact with it; however, a surface application would not get deep enough into the soil for this to be an issue. Keep in mind, also, that earthworms have a coating that protects them from exposure to many products that would easily kill insects.
