As part of an environmental and product stewardship initiative, FMC Corp. produced videos demonstrating proper guidelines for liquid pesticide applications as well as step-by-step application suggestions for its Talstar Professional Insecticide, outdoors and indoors.

Now live on the FMC Turf YouTube channel, “How to Properly Apply Liquid Pesticides” and “How to Properly Apply Talstar Professional Insecticide” are each three minutes long. A six-minute version incorporating both videos is also live on YouTube channel.

In the videos, Lauren Wilson, technical service representative for FMC and licensed commercial applicator, demonstrates how to prepare for an outdoor application, including removing all pets, toys and people from the area. She then shows the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when making an application, how to prepare for an indoor application, proper storage of pesticides and how to prepare for an accidental spill. In the application demonstration video, she shows how to mix and spray Talstar Professional Insecticide indoors and outdoors.

“We wanted to show our customers the proper guidelines for liquid insecticide applications for outdoor spot and perimeter treatments, as well as indoor applications,” said Catherine Bernard, insecticide brand marketing manager for FMC. “In addition, since Talstar Professional Insecticide is one of the most widely used insecticides, we wanted to encourage product stewardship by showing the correct way to apply the product.”
