A Groundbreaking Granule
Exclusive to FMC, the highly-advanced Verge granule delivers exciting application benefits you can't get with other products.
- Perfect Form: The Verge granule is uniform in size and shape for improved ballistics during application, resulting in a more consistent, dependable barrier of protection.
- Rapid Release: Verge granules are clay-based and disintegrate at an extremely fast rate, fully dissolving into thousands of micro-particles in less than a minute after being watered in. This delivers the active ingredient where it’s needed.
- Better for the Applicator: While other granules produce an unpleasant, musty smell, Talstar XTRA on the Verge granule is odorless. What’s more, the Verge granule is proven to be virtually dust-free, for a substantial reduction of dust in the air, on the equipment and on an applicator’s clothing following treatment.
Speed and Residual When It Counts
While fire ants and other pests can be gone in as little as minutes, the residual protection of Talstar XTRA featuring Verge is proven to remain effective for at least four months. Now with Talstar XTRA, you can help restore their peace-of-mind sooner than ever, and help keep them feeling secure by using the most trusted brand in general pest control.
Application Flexibility

This comprehensive label makes Talstar XTRA an effective and versatile tool for a wide range of accounts.
Top-of-the-Line Control that’s Good For Your Bottom Line
