Made be a believer

I had multiple pest problems moving into a new house. I did plenty of research and settled on Talstar (much cheaper here!) but I picked it up at my local Southern States. I treated as recommended and did some inside as there were several issues. Ants, Silverfish, Flies, and centipedes at the least. One coat and they are gone! Its been 4 weeks since I have seen a bug inside. I also treated areas of the lawn that were overrun with ants. Finally, I was cleaning up the hedges and noticed two large hornet nests. Wanting to get them taken care of with out a hardware store trip... I mixed up a batch and soaked the nests (it was dusk). I was shocked to wake up to piles of hornets under each nest, they were stopped dead in their tracks. My home pest control level is novice, sites like these have saved me 100s of dollars.

Great product
By Lawrence on 04/21/2011
I have been using Talstar One for three years. I live in South Florida, we definitely have a lot of bugs. I put it around the outside of my house every month in the summer and every 2 months in the winter. I have not had an ant problem in the 3 years since I have been using it. We had a Whitefly infestation last year in South Florida, and they were destroying the Ficus hedges all around the area. I sprayed the hedge @ 1/2 oz. per gallon. My hedge looked great. I give this product 5 stars because it works. I used to buy Talstar one @ a local Pest control company they charged me $120.00 for one quart. On sale right now I purchased it for $54.95 for 3/4 gallon at Do My Own Pest Control. Can't beat that.

AMAZING! We live in WET LANDS and it WORKS!

Wow ~ that's what I have for this product! We live in wet lands and of course our state bird is the mosquito! LOL! Followed the directions, suited up, put gloves on and did the perimeter of our house ~ the eaves, soffit system, around the windows/doors and the foundation. What I really loved as a full time gardener (it's my job) is that I got to choose where to apply it and made sure to keep it out of all of the beds where I needed pollinator's as well as predatory insects! I applied on July 3 of 2022, it's the middle of August now and we can still be out in the backyard! For us . . . that's wonderful. I highly recommend it! I used a backpack sprayer and got the whole yard done in about and hour, hour and a half. For the money you can't beat it. One application has lasted this long and I still have enough left to do one more application. If you pay professional sprayers to come to your house, first ~ you really don't have a choice of where they'll spray and the monthly cost is way to expensive. A big thumbs up . . . the end.
