Talstar and bifenthrin are the same product. These products last about 30 days. If you aren’t seeing bugs it’s because there isn’t any insect pressure or you’re lucky

I didn't realize they were the same. I'm not lucky. Before I began spraying myself I'd see 5-6 roach carcasses per month. Now I might see 1 once every three months. So I'm either spraying more diligently or my chemicals are greater ppm. Or a combination of both. This is in Alabama, btw. The only issue I've had previously in SLC were ants, and those have been eradicated so I haven't even needed to spray here in the past 6 months.

(edit) I just looked at the labels of Talstar and Bifen. You are obviously correct. Even the 7.9% of the Bifin is the same. Maybe they're like Coke and Pepsi though and one just tastes a little bit different than the other.
