Might have been a little fast on the "thumbs up"! I googled it and got this:

How dangerous is talstar?
It is toxic to humans and pets if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. ... Talstar P is highly toxic to aquatic organisms like fish, so make sure that you cover all aquatic sites near the application area or avoid those applying this insecticide in areas that are near aquatic habitats.May 13, 2020
