Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

Wasted lots of money and weeks of time using DIY store spray inside and out flea problem only got worse. After first treatment with this stuff inside and out major difference. Had to treat twice following label instructions and no more problem, with any bugs I will keep a gallon of this stuff on hand from now on. Don't waste your money at the DIY stores for chemicals do it once and be done.

I have applied this chemical to three different locations. One had a spider problem, the other had a roach problem, and the last had a flea problem. I have not seen one sign of a dead bug and I have applied at twice the strength after not seeing results applying as suggested. I wasted 30 bucks I suggest you don't do the same. You would expect to see a dead bug here or there after an application but I have not. Not impressed!

I've been using this for many years and have had no complaints , I generally use for flea/Tick/mosquito and have had great results even several uses for hornets , I use to use sevin but clients don't like the odor but still worked and had quick knock down . Talstar odorless and has many uses . I be had great results with mite control as well , recommend a sticker with this to enhance control .

I'm more than satisfied with my order from DoMyOwnPestControl and the product support before I ordered. The ladies I spoke with were very knowledgable about the products I was interested in. I ordered TalstarP as the rating were favorable 4.5-5.0 stars. On the first day of use I walked through my back yard at the crack of dawn and all types of fly's, bugs, moths, sqidos, fleas + unameits. Great I sprayed using a Ortho dial a spray and walked through my yard same time next morning and Nothing! Nothing! Great Product! Great Service. Received my order free shipping 4 days later. I will use DoMyOwn again in a heartbeat! no questions asked.

We had a serious mole cricket problem in our yard. After much investigation on the web, we determined Talstar P was what we needed. Got the 3/4 gal at a great price along with a sprayer. We sprayed the yard in segments to our dog still could go out to use the "bathroom." It's been over a month now since we completed spraying and there are no new mounds from the mole crickets. Not sure how long before they show again, but we will be ready since 3/4 gal makes a lot of spray. Extra benefit of using this spray was we got rid of all the little ant mounds in the yard and also don't have to worry bout fleas. Will buy again whenever we use all of what we have.

Talstar P Professional Insecticide is absolutely the best control for fire ants that I have seen in several years and I was in the landscaping business for 25 years. It also kills most insects in the area where sprayed. Hoping it will be as effective on mosquitoes as it is on fire ants, but imagine I won't know until next spring/summer when they appear again. Mosquitos were awful in the hot humid climate in most of the southeast this year. I didn't know about this insecticide until late summer and probably didn't get rid of most of them; but now that I know what it did with the fire ants, I will get an earlier start with this stuff next year to try and combat the mosquitos plus spiders, fleas, ticks, etc..

Been using this for about 10 years now. Originally bought this to get rid of large carpenter ants, definitely works. Over the years have been spraying to keep spiders and small black ants away. This is safe inside or outside, once it dries. Have pure bred cats and needed something safe in case they came in contact. Recently my mother had a terrible case of small black ants, and I sprayed her house inside and outside and she could not believe how they disappeared overnight. My brother said he has tried everything for ants and nothing works, he was so impressed he bought some and sprayed outside and complete yard for ants, fleas, and ticks. With no shipping charge delivery is really fast. This is the only site I buy it from. Best stuff EVER!!!

We live in Houston TX where pests are EVERYWHERE all seasons long and pest control companies are way to expensive and with little children running around I wanted something effective but also safe. I wanted to give an honest review so once I sprayed both inside and out I wanted to give it a month and let me tell you this stuff is amazing! We have a ton of mosquitoes and we find them dead all the time now on our porch and driveway! They don't get near our home anymore. We also had ants, fleas and chinch bugs and within a week we don't see anything anymore. Using this has saved us thousands on pest control. Just follow instructions and let the product speak for itself.

We started using Talstar P 2 years ago and all I can say is thank you, we are living bug free inside and outside. No roaches, spiders, ants, wasps, bees, or any kind of pests. I spray every 4 months and start outside and spray around doors, windows, light fixtures, gutters, hedges, and anywhere wasp might form a colony. I spray the base of trees to keep those pesky fling roaches in check. FYI, if you have a problem with Sand Nat's (NO SEE'EMS), mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, I use Pulverize lime and it can be found at your local Walmart Home & Garden Center; this product has about a six month residual. Down side your grass grows about and extra 1 to 1 1/2 inches per week. Hope this is helpful. Thank you again Do it Yourself Pest Control, we are Happy, Happy..

My son-in law got a couple ounces of this to try on fleas, after spraying on a fire-ant hill we were amazed. I've tried everything and it seems that ants just move over. With Talstar One you will see thousands of ants piled up on top of the mound DEAD. The first bottle I ordered was damaged in shipping, preparing for an argument I took pictures and called the company and explained that some of the product had leaked out. Before I could email the pictures I got a confirmation that a new bottle had been shipped. That my friends is great customer service. I've now posted link for my friends on Facebook.

I used to pay about $400 yearly to have it professionally done. All of the supplies (box of nitrile gloves, 3 gallon sprayer, respirator, safety glasses) I purchased to do it myself including the 96 oz of Talstar P came out to just under $100. With the amount of Talstar P I have, it should last me about 5 years (if I spray every 10-12 weeks) which is about the shelf life of the product. I will be saving around $2800 over 5 years by doing it myself. That's a substantial amount of money that can be used elsewhere. I also like the fact that I can spray in other areas that weren't done professionally (i.e. front yard where HOA handles the landscaping) to help control the fleas and ticks since I have 2 dogs and take them out for potty breaks at times. Thank you domyown.com!

This is by far the best product for bugs I have ever used. In N.C. we have a stink bug problem about 3 times a year. I spray around screens, door frames and just any where I think they can enter, and next day-all is well. They continue to die for the rest of their invasion! Also-I find dead bugs around house all year long. Live in a 100 year old house which has many little places the critters can sneak in, but Talstar has solved that. I have 3 indoor cats and 3 outdoor cats and a dog and the product has eliminated the fleas around the house and the ones that manage to sneak in. Love that Talstar does not put my babies(animals) in danger. Much rather sweep up dead stink bugs than have them dive bombing me at night!! Thank you and I love the free shipping! Keep up the good work! Dee

I worked for a lawn care company for over a decade and have used this product many times, but never saw the results. I purchased this a few weeks ago and sprayed my entire property. The pile of dead bugs on my porch the following day was the first good sign. It's been several weeks since and there are still almost no mosquitoes on my property. When I sprayed this product commercially as a flea and tick spray it cost about $60, an entire gallon, 128 gallons of product only cost $58. This is a no-brainer, and safe for kids and pets!!

I mix up 1 ounce per gallon of water which gives a .06 dilution. That is 20% stronger than Ortho Home defense (.05 solution) and unit cost of Ortho is about $14 a gallon at Home Depot. The stuff I mix up has a unit price under $2 a gallon. What a savings!! Plus, one gallon sprays my house twice. I spray about every 3 months, so I literally have enough concentrate to last years. I have given some to neighbors for a flea problem and it totally worked for them as well.

After using flea fogs from time to time for years I decided to some research on commercial strength insecticide and was surprised to find out that you don't need to be a business owner to purchase it.One day I researched “commercial strength insecticide “ online several things came up including the company Do My Own after going to the company's website and reading some of the reviews I decided to purchase Talstar P it seems to be what most pest control companies use.Anyway I ordered it and used it as directed I couldn't be happier with the product I'll apply it again in 12/22.I don't know how long this has been available to the general public but I wish I knew then.Buy you won't be disappointed !

The endless rain over the summer in the mid Atlantic left my dogs in agony - worst infestatiion of fleas ever. I chose Talstar P, noting that some reviewers found it helpful with stink bugs too. Not only has it cleared up these problems for me, but spiders and wasps too! It was tricky to treat the dogs' areas because shady spaces just wouldn't dry, but I moved many around to areas that had been treated and dried. Then I closed off the shady damp spaces and treated them. Others had their houses treated, dried & replaced, with ground outside of their areas treated. They also all got a spot on treatment. It's worked very well! A side benefit was eliminating the spiders that dwell under & inside of their wooden houses. Was shocked to see that black widows like to hide underneath! I sprayed the exterior of my home as well, in anticipation of stink bug season. For the next few days, drunken looking brown recluse spiders began revealing themselves. Ack! I no longer had white faced hornets and wasps buzzing my porches. When the stink bugs began arriving, few were finding their way into the house. Most that did died quietly on their own. They used to cover my porches, too numerous to count. Very few are visiting now. I didn't think there was any solution for stink bug infestations, so am thrilled to have found DoMyOwn & Talstar P - thank you!!!!

I highly recommend! This is my second purchase. Orkin use to use the same stuff on my property and I paid allot of money for it. Now I spray for about a dollar a gallon. I use it for brown recluse, black widow, scorpions, flies, ants, and fleas. After I got rid of the pest I would continue to spray evey 3 months around the perimeter to prevent re-infestation. I recently moved and encountered black widows and I have a toddler, I sprayed inside and out and fixed the problem. I have enough to help my friends and family with their bug problems as well. One tip for spiders- Brown Recluse Glue traps and lots of them, I bought the bulk box from this site and used them under sinks, cabinets, sofas, attic, garage and door corners. Talstar and glue traps solved my problem. At my work when I lived in OK, Talstar helped to eliminate two differnt infestations! One was stink beetle and the other were crickets, Approx 1000 or more. I sprayed on a friday and came back monday morning to sweep a carpet of dead crickets. Every day for the next week we spent the morning sweeping up dead crickets, it finally dwindled down to zero thankfully. This stuff works, I always use the 1oz to gallon ratio to get the maximum effectiveness.

We moved to 3 acres in Knoxville Tenn last month and this is my first encounter with ticks. I spent 30.00 on a cheap flea and tick and the first week the dogs (5 of them) had a plethora of ticks. Went to the store and bought 180.00 for the "good stuff" and still had ticks. I finally figured I must start from the source and started researching home treatment pest control companies and while on their web site I found the word "talstar", searched that name and came across the DOMYOWNPESTCONTROL website and figured with 3 acres I better do my own spraying. Well its been 3 weeks and not one tick on the dogs. mind you I treated the 3 dogs that run into the leaves, trees and bushes with the "expensive" treatment but I did not treat the other 2 dogs that pretty much hang out with me and dont go running. NONE of them have got a tick...none......I could do a commercial for this product.......not kidding! #LOVEIT!
