I always dump and rinse any containers with water in them after fogging...I have a couple cats that hang around so I don't want them drinking the water or the chickens. If I can remember I normally turn the things over prior to spraying but I miss some occasionally.Talstar-P is Bifenthrin, a slower acting class one Pyrethroid. In theory, its safer for fish and cats than pyrethrin/permethrin. Like permethrin, it can have a long half life in soil, where it binds more effectively to the ground, and thus constitutes a somewhat lesser risk of water contamination via runoff.
Overall, same general precautions apply. Don't drink the stuff, wash up afterwards.
