How often are you spraying your house with talstar? And is it ok to fill up a sprayer and leave the talstar sit in there between sprays? Or should I refill it each time?

I wouldn’t let it sit.
You can spray weekly when needed.

Also domyown has an extensive Q&A on most products, especially Talstar.

I spray often and spray stuff that has been sitting. Whenever I see bugs I will spray the outside of the house. Depends on how much it rains also.

I use what I mix
Sometimes I'll get 3 uses from 1 mix
Don't see a problem

I spray the entire exterior every 3 months. Ill spray the yard if I need to or spot spray anything else if Im having an issues. Have pretty good results.

I normally spray about every 2-3 months. Lately it’s been every 2-3 weeks. It dries out, pours rain, mosquitoes hatch then spray again.

It loses its effectiveness outside in landscaping in 5-10 days. I know because I’ll spray for webworms and the next day they are nuked, none to be seen. Then magically they’ll appear again a week or so later.

Inside they say 90 ish days but in summer I’d spray every 45-60 or you’ll have bugs come back.

Pro tip, if you do a light spray around the inside of your windows you’ll nuke your flies extremely well. I just started doing this this year.
