Can I spread Talstar PL in my flower beds to kill millipedes?

This spring, after a wet winter, most of my root type perennials were devoured by millipedes. I want to plant new plants for summer and fall. Should I spread the product before planting or does it matter?

Answer:

No, Talstar PL granules should not be used in a flower bed. It is labeled mainly for turf use. We would recommend using Bifen IT for your ornamental plants. It can be sprayed directly on the plants and is labeled specifically for millipedes as well as various other pests as well. You will use 1 oz. of the solution per gallon of water.
