Little Cat got stung on the bottom lip last night by a scorpion. I've been using Lambda Star for a house spray, need to get me some Talstar P! That’s half strength generic Warrior. Great on Army Worms. Does nothing on Scorpions. So making sure I have this right; Bifenthrin is the active ingredient in Warrior. Any generic with bifenthrin will work? Doesn't have to be Talstar P specifically, or does Talstar have something else?

Thanks Mo. I had those backwards. I'll grab some Bifenthrin off Amazon.

Will do. From past research I gather that scorpions aren't easy to kill. We catch a lot of them in sticky traps. Would rather they not get in the house in the first place.

Spray the piss out of the perimeter of the ground around the house as well as the foundation and any retaining walls around the house. In Zona they like to hide in the 5’ walls the separate back yards. They can hide in the tiniest of cracks.

I do exactly what you just said and pretty much saturate the ground around the house and spray the outside walls. I also do pretty well at keeping habitat (flowerbeds, clutter, and rocks) away from the house. Soaking everything with LambdaStar has worked really well on everything else but the scorpions. They come in shifts. We can go several months without finding one in the house then we'll find several in a couple of weeks. Our house is only 6yrs old now. I watched construction and all the gaskets/seals/foam/etc that should be used is there. Still, the little guys find their way in.

I believe it has it included in the inert ingredients. Its part of why it sticks around up to 28 days from application.

Talstar P is some good stuff for biting insects and random bugs it lasts a long time.
My bear hunt in mosquito infested Rusk County Wisconsin starts in 3 weeks. Is there any downside to spraying a little Talstar P around my permenant stand to keep the biting bugs away from me while I'm waiting for a big bear to walk in?

They come into our yard and house that is sprayed with Talstar P and tear our bird feeders down every summer......It hasn't stopped them yet!

My bear stand is 25 yards from a 100 acre swamp and the 50 million mosquitos that live there. I'd like to draw in the bears and keep the bugs away.
