I can't believe how well this has worked so far!
By Jim on 06/12/2024
I live in Dorchester County, Maryland. If you're not familiar with that area, I'm just miles from Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge which is basically a large swamp. Mosquitos can be HORRIBLE. There have been times where just running out to throw something in the trash can result in getting swarmed, literally SWARMED with mosquitoes of 30+. I have 3 acres which is mostly grass, but I'm surrounded by woods/swamps. There are over 300 acres of flooded woodland and swamp around me so I had severe doubts that spraying for mosquitos in just my little section would do anything at all. The reviews I saw here were promising and I figured even if it didn't help with mosquitos, it could still be good for other creepy crawlies getting into my house. I mixed 4 ounces of Talstar P into my 4 gallon backpack sprayer and got started. I sprayed all around my house, patio area, all bushes and low hanging trees and even on grass areas around my immediate home. The following afternoon I walked outside with no bug spray and waited. And waited. And waited. I saw MAYBE two mosquitos. I couldn't believe it. It's been 1 week no and still, it's difficult to find a mosquito! I don't know how long this will last for, but I'm impressed and plan to spray again in a few weeks to keep this up.

Perfect product for DIYers
By Ivan on 07/03/2024
I got this product to spray around our house, since we had probably 50+ spiders all around and spider webs would be like a net for the leafs and dirt that wind would bring into, so it always looked dirty. After just using 2oz of product mixed with 2 gal of water, I was able to spray all around our house (3000sqft) and it was even some left to spray on edge of the fence. 5 weeks in, I haven’t seen one spider or any other bug around. Super happy with this purchase and definitely would recommend anyone. Works like a charm. 👏👏👏

Mosquitos and flies eradicated!
By Paul on 07/12/2024
Talstar has solved my backyard/patio mosquito invasion. Had to reapply after 2 weeks initially, but this stuff works like no other product I've ever used. Ever summer I've used "Cutter " (from the big box stores) every 2 weeks or so all summer long, but was still bothered by mosquitos. This stuff WORKS!!!

Very Effective and Easy-to-Use Pest Control Solution
By Krunal on 07/12/2024
As a homeowner, I have been very impressed with Talstar P Professional Insecticide. I had issues with a variety of pests, and this product has been a game-changer. Pros: - Wide Range of Pest Control: It effectively targets many pests, including ants, spiders, mosquitoes, and bed bugs. This has been great for me since I had different pests both indoors and outdoors. - Long-Lasting Effect: After applying it, I noticed it kept working for a long time. I didn't have to reapply it often, which saved me a lot of time and effort. - Easy to Use: The instructions were clear, and mixing it was straightforward. The gallon size was more than enough to cover my house and yard. - No Stains or Strong Odor: I used it inside my home, and it didn't leave any stains or strong smells. This was a big plus for me. - Versatile Application: Whether I used it on my lawn, ornamental plants, or indoors, it worked well everywhere. Overall Experience: I started seeing a reduction in pests just a few days after the first application. It has been a relief not to worry about bugs constantly. It is a reliable and effective solution for anyone dealing with pests. It's easy to use, works on many types of pests, and lasts a long time. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Results for Years Now
By Chuck on 07/18/2024
I have applied Talstar P at 1oz/gal, three feet and out and three feet up around the parameter of my house and 18” around all doors and windows twice a year (1st of April and 1st of July) (a third application on 1st of October in a few years where we’ve had extended summers) (Portland, Oregon area) and — spraying only outside) it has all but eliminated insects in the house. The initial effect the first time was all but overnight. And the continued effect is great. In the spring, I also spray it under the eves, especially at the peaks. In the past, I’ve always had wasps nest at the peaks under my eves. No more. Not a single nest since I started this. This is the same product and the practice a professional exterminator would charge over a hundred dollars to do each time. The task is easy, the cost savings is great and the results are excellent.

Outstanding service
By Ray on 01/28/2011
I ordered a quart of Talstar P, which is a great product. At the time of my order the Southeast had experienced a major snow storm. DoMyOwnPestCrontrol sent an email and kept me advised on the situation until the product arrived. This was above and beyond what I expected.
Excellent Company

Michael and DIY Pest Control
By Dana on 02/24/2011
I called Michael to order another small bottle of Talstar. He told me about the special pricing on the 3/4 gal. Excellent service! Thanks Michael for this tip and also for all the other help you offered in our dealing with termites up in the attic. So far, the Boracare & Termidor are working even through the swarming season. We continue to refer everyone to you.
Good service

Helped me get rid of ants in the house!
By D. on 04/05/2011
I have been battling little black ants in my kitchen and bathrooms for the past three years. The stuff from the hardware stores was very little help. Now I have used Dominion 2L and Talstar P around the perimeter of my house and also on ant nests in the mulched planting areas and the ants are gone! The Talstar P is a great deal and can also be sprayed around the baseboards indoors for controlling other pests.
Talstar - P Works!
By Leslie on 04/12/2011
We have been fighting ants for years. A friend of mine told me about Do My Own Pest Control and Talstar P. After one application we have no more ants. After 10 years of fighting ants every spring and summer, they are gone! Amazing. Not to mention it is cheap and easy. Again, amazing!!

Talstar One
By John on 04/25/2011
I got great service from DoMyOwnPestControl, the product arrived early in perfect shape. Talstar One is based on Bifenthrin which is a pyrethroid insecticide that affects the nervous system of insects. It is a great general insecticide that will kill most insect in and around your yard including termites. Bifenthrin is virtually insoluble in water with a solubility of 0.1 mg/L. Given its low solubility, bifenthrin has high persistence in soil with a half life between 7 days and 8 months. It is the longest residual termiticide currently registered on the market today. Talstar One is highly toxic to fish since it is also an ATPase inhibitor. Aquatic vertebrates are much more sensitive to ATPase inhibitors than terrestrial vertebrates due to their high dependence on ATP synthesis in the gills to maintain osmotic balance. Talstar One is also toxic to most dogs and pets until it dries. For yard treatment where animals are kept, I would not let them back in the area for at least 12 to 24 hours. For Treatment I would cover your skin, wear eye protection from mist or slash and wear a certified respirator during application. I wear a heavy shirt with rubber gloves that goes up to my shoulders and jean. Once complete, just for safety, I take a shower after the treatment. It is a great product, I use it once a month on my yard with great results, but remember this is a commercial grade product with 7.9% of Bifenthrin and must be treats with much more safety than low grade chemicals from Walmart or Home Depot.
Amazing stuff
By Kit on 04/27/2011
I am amazed with the Talstar! We are in an area (my home and work) with box elder trees all over the area. I used your product at both places and cannot believe that the box elder bugs are nearly all gone. I am very impressed with your product and would recommend it highly.
Stink Bugs
By Dw on 04/29/2011
Good product, prompt delivery! Battling stink bugs in Virginia. I don't know if we are winning the battle or not. These critters are everywhere and awfully hard to kill, but this stuff seems to work better than anything I've tried so far. They don't drop dead immediately when sprayed but most do keel over in a few hours. If the goverment released these miserable pests to control lady bugs as the rumor has it, then they better turn loose of some DDT before they destroy all our homes and crops!

This stuff works!!!!
By Matt on 05/09/2011
Very satisfied with this product!!! I treated my backyard with this spray because we live right on a canal in FL. Of all the places in the world we have a mass amount of mosquitoes, they would literally be waiting for us to walk outside to get their fix of blood, hundreds of them. My kids and I were walking blood banks for these guys, I was very doubtful at first. Within 2 days I have seen absolutely no mosquitoes in my yard. It eliminated all of them from my yard, it is still going strong for 2 mos. I do still have a problem with no-see-ums but as for the vampire bugs, astalavista BABY!!!!!!!!

A MAZING
By Carol on 05/14/2011
Started spraying in late March and I have had NO problems. The area in AZ that I live (southern) there are still some farms left, so I have a major cricket and black widow problem. Well no more!!! Besides saving a TON of money every year, I can spray when ever I think that I need to. When I had "professionals" come in I always seemed to still have a pest problem. But no more. And the fact that it does not take any time at all is a plus. I am SO glad that I found you. Thank you
Great Price
