    Yes, with conditions.  Talstar PL is considered: Safe for pets AFTER it has been applied correctly and watered in/dried. Keep pets off treated area during application, water in the granules (this is key for PL) and wait until: the area is completely dry and the granules are settled into soil.  Pro standard: Keep pets off for ~12–24 hours.  You can use Talstar PL on a property with a well, but with strict environmental conditions: Do Not allow runoff, avoid application near water or where it could enter groundwater (minimum 25-50 ft. from the wellhead), if it is sandy soil (50-100ft).

    A Talstar PL Granular begins working within hours after application, once the granules are watered in and the active ingredient moves into the soil and turf where insects are active. Most users notice a reduction in pest activity within 24–48 hours, particularly for ants, fleas, ticks, and other surface and soil-dwelling insects. Full control is typically achieved within 3–5 days, depending on pest pressure, coverage, and environmental conditions. Talstar PL contains bifenthrin, a fast-acting synthetic pyrethroid that provides both quick knockdown and extended residual control. After activation, it creates a protective barrier in the soil and thatch layer that can remain effective for up to 30 days, helping prevent reinfestation. The low-odor, dust-free granular formulation allows for even distribution and consistent results across lawns, landscapes, and perimeter areas. For best results, apply Talstar PL evenly using a spreader and irrigate shortly after application to activate the granules and move the insecticide into the target zone.
