Good information to know about Talstar. We use permethrin here so much since we have so many scorpions... I sleep on the floor due to my back, and I don't like much getting stung from them, they are a fair bit worse than the ants.
So I used it for ants too.
I will get some Talstar next time i'm at the feed store, just for ants to see if it works better or not.
