Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

THIS WORKS ON STINKBUGS. We have thousands of stinkbugs on our entire house and in the attic. Talstar Pro was recommended to us by a friend. At first I didn't think it would work because it didn't kill on contact. We sprayed yesterday and this morning there are dead stinkbugs everywhere. It just takes a little time to kill them, and even killed those that came later. We ordered the product because it was advertised as environmentally safe outside and in the house. THANK YOU! I am recommending this to all my friends who have this same problem here in Maryland.

Bought it after I had a serious earwig infestation erupt at my house. I carefully sprayed a very thorough and gracious amount both outside and inside my house. This stuff must have been part of the soviets private reserve because there were between 100-500 dead bugs (earwigs, spiders, beetles and roaches) on the areas I sprayed each morning for about 3 weeks. We haven't seen an earwig since. Both neighbors are still plagued by this years bugs but not my home. Yes I will be buying this again in the future!

Got a backyard 60 ft deep that goes into a creek but not before some brush. When it rains the creek runs, then stagnates and dries up. I do "my" entire creek about the time I see standing water and on the ends I blast some down the way. Using my house end I spray 1oz on the yard and 3 ft up the house. Spot spray the crevice inside, less strong of course, and dust the heck outta the attic and relatively pest year round in and out.

My wife worked in Walmart years ago and became allergic to pesticides. Home pest control had to use unscented spray and apparently wasn't very strong. We had bugs indoors all season long. Tried using your spray and haven't seen a bug in the house in years. Take that back, had a couple one year but they were dead. Only spray every 6 - 8 weeks, wife can't smell it, and we don't have bugs in the house anymore. And whole lot cheaper than pest control companies!!!  I've recommended Talstar to a few people already and they were going to try it also.

I bought a new Stihl 450 fogger to address insect problems around my house. I bought the Talstar for the chemical and have used it around my house now twice (2 week intervals) and have not noticed ONE mosquito since I started using Talstar. I also fogged a large Pecan tree next to my house where web worms had started making their webs. After I fogged the tree from the ground thouroughly, I went up on the house the next day and cut down the webs and inspected them and there were no alive catepilliars crawling around. Do I KNOW it worked for the results I achieved?? No. But, I had bad mosquitos and web worms before I used Talstar and the fogger and now I do not so, I must assume EVERYTHING worked as I wanted. I do live in dense trees and brush on an acreage so there is no lack of bugs. I also took it last weekend to Texas and fogged my girlfriends backyard where mosquitos are terrible and I'm hoping for the same results as I got here in Oklahoma.

I needed something to keep lady bugs and stink bugs from crawling into my attic and getting into the house during winter. Domyown recommend Talstar how and when to apply it. I've used it for 3 years and it has worked great. We've had spiders, including black widow, this year bad and it has controlled them as well. I have an 8 gallon sprayer that I pull behind my lawn mower and spray all around the house and storage building. Highly recommend Domyown for professional help determining what to use, how to use it and when to use it!

Every house I bought including my rental I use this product! In Florida bugs never die out due to winter so it can be a constant problem! After speaking to a pest control specialist he recommended this product ants, beetles, roaches, ticks, and fleas all gone! And since there is no bugs the spiders will leave too. I do recommend the Talstar P granules for a 2 foot perimeter around your house especially if you have a major ant problem. In conclusion use both all bugs and spiders are gone within no time!!!

I have purchased talstar p before for my house and it has been great at keeping spiders,ants,and I also had a bee problem this past summer getting into the corner of my garage kept spraying this product into the area they were going and in a few days I noticed they weren't going in and out. My son bought a house that sat empty for a few months and was over come by spiders so I bought this for him to use it's a great product for the price.

The reason I purchased this product was to stop our annual invasion of stinkbugs. They start breaching our windows in late August to over winter inside the house. Last year the numbers were horrible! We received the Talstar P very quickly about 2 weeks ago and applied it around our exterior doors, windows and foundation. I have noticed dead bugs all around outside the house with a sharp decline of bugs in general where we sprayed. Since we sprayed in advance of the stinkbugs invasion we don't know yet how effective it will be. If it works I will come back and if allowed to edit my review will add that last star.

Upon receipt of the product, I mixed it according to directions and sprayed the exterior of my home. Unfortunately, the week after was exceptionally warm here in California, and ants we're looking for water anywhere they could find it. We had a number of incidences where they came into the house across the boundary that I had sprayed. I sprayed them in the house and again at ever opening I could find around the home. After the initial incidences, I have had no more problems so hopefully the product is working well.

been using this for years for mainly fleas since we had a dog in doors and now we have 4 cats in 2 areas in house and garage. This works so good we don't have to give flea medicine to cats. I spray every 2 months everywhere in and outside of house. I see roaches flipped upside all the time and I never get a flea on me. I highly recommend this for pets. Going to try it on our property in Brooksville and see if it will do the trick up there with them country roaches and whatever else is lurking around.lol

I had tried all the commercially available pest controls with little to no results. Our problem was with the little black ants or slab ants. After any amount of rain we would see ants in the house at the doorways, by the windows and in the kitchen by the dishwasher. After using Talstar P as directed, I have not seen any ants in the house. We have had a few days of rain lately but still are ant free after three weeks from initial application. This product worked for us!

This product works great! With the beginning of spring we had spiders (of all kinds) just running everywhere, and the ants were building as fast as I could pour the traditional ant killer from the bag. I sprayed the house all the way to the eves, the yard, trees as far as the sprayer would spray, my fence from top to bottom, and the inside of the house. Needless to say we saw many many DEAD spiders. For anyone that has any type of insect problems, this is your ticket to freedom!

I ordered this product for a whole house pesticide. It was received quickly, no problems with order. I have sprayed the inside house and have seen results already. this product is excellent, I will be spraying outside next. I have no doubts the product will be just as successful. thank you for this product. the ones you get in retail stores are mostly water. I don't want to spray water. thank you again and I will be a return customer. I will also spread the word about the product and your company.

I recently moved to a rural area right next to a forest. There were bugs all over the place, including some scary huge spiders. I did some research and decided to try Talstar P. I applied it around the perimeter of the house 2 months ago according to the directions and the video instructions on this site. We have had almost no bugs in the house since the application. I can actually see dead bugs along the areas that I sprayed. They walk a couple inches across the barrier and stop dead. Amazing stuff! I'm going to re-apply every 3 months and don't expect to ever have a bug/spider problem again.

I love this stuff! Spraying a few time each year inside and out keeps the bugs out of and away from the house. We live in the county. Plenty of bugs out here! I spray under eaves , around the windows/doors and on the ground at the foundation. No more Wasp nests or Spider webs, no invasion of Japanese Beetles or Stinkbugs like we've had in the past. No bugs in the house at all! It's wonderful. All that and a great price! If you divide out the cost per application, it's only a buck or two! Shoot, that's darn near FREE in today's world! Good stuff!

We ordered the product for fire ant control, sprayed the perimeter of the house to stop fire ants from coming in with great results. Problem was once the perimeter was sprayed the ants could not get past it to get out of the house and they started showing up inside. Sprayed the nooks and crannys inside and problem seems solved so far. Very happy with results and will reorder again because the delivery came about 3 days after ordering. Thank you "Do My Own Pest Control".

I ordered this product after becoming disillusioned with my local pest control service. The "professionals" were charging me $75 every three months. I spent less than that on the Talstar P and a nice backpack sprayer and have enough product to treat my property for over a year. Plus I can use the sprayer for other applications around the house. Two days after applying the Talstar P I had more dead bugs around the perimeter of my house than I have ever seen! The product cost per application is less than five dollars and took me twenty minutes... it only makes sense to DoMyOwnPestControl!

I purchased this product because it was a promotion from the Clark Howard web site. My wife and I were having our annual ant invasion through-out our house. We have used many products in the past with minimal results. I applied the Talstar P Professional product as recommended and the results were almost immediate. In addition to treating the area having the most ants I also treated the outside of our house and storage shed. And like my review title says "ants no more"!

We were overrun with palmetto bugs (a.k.a. cockroaches). They were in the garage and then in the house. We followed your online video directions and applied Ortho Home Defense on the floors around the perimeter of the kitchen, bathrooms and in the garage where we had seen the bugs. We applied Talstar outdoors around the perimeter of the house as directed in the video. The results were immediate. We are completely pleased with your online information about how to safely use the products and the results.

Where do I begin...My old house had many issues with moisture, leaking windows, leaking pipes, and a leaking roof. So it was pretty much a paradise for Springtails, although I didn't see them much, other than in the windows. Page forward, we move to a brand new community, & house. We had been here almost two years, and so far so good, I hadn't seen any of these horrid little pest. But then I go out to our garage to break down some boxes, that had been there unopened for two years...And guess what, unbeknownst to me the boxes had Springtails, & I tracked them into my new house! Oh the horror... It took me a lot of research on the net to find out about Springtails, which led me to "DoMyOwnPestControl." One thing I can tell anyone is, don't waste your money buying over the counter bug sprays for Springtails, you need something with pyrethrin in it. Talstar P is what the professionals use, and it works! Heads-up...With an Springtail infestation it might take 1 to 3 sprayings, but you will eventually see results. The folks also at DMOPC are very helpful at assisting you for advise. One Customer Service Rep. keep insisting, that the problem with the Springtails was coming from somewhere, and that I needed to find out where. I keep telling the Customer Service Rep. that we had brought them from my old house, and this was a new house, so we had no moisture problems...Well low & behold! These little buggers were right at my front door in the mulch, in a Moss like plant that the builder put in. We removed these plants, and also used Bifen to rid us of anymore infestations...Yay!!! TY, so much DoMyOwnPestControl!

I live in Minnesota, and this summer has been the worst! We have had lots of rain and hot weather making it ideal for mosquitoes. We have a back yard pool that we could not even get close to. The bugs would just drive you back into the house. We used every kind of sprinkle and hose spray that we could get at the local farm supply. I found out about Talstar from a groundskeeper in my area. I mixed it in my sprayer and sprayed the entire three aches of my yard. Within one day we could sit outside and enjoy our home in the country. It has been working for three weeks and I have not had to reapply. Don’t let the price drive you away. It takes very little to cover a lot of area. Best thing I have found to use for mosquito control.

I used both the mound drenching (with a 2 gal. tank sprayer) followed up with a hose sprayer treatment of the yard. I had a driveway infestation you would not believe and ants under the slab of a 12' x 22' shed. It has only been several weeks since treatment, but so far, so good!  A lot cheaper than having it done. Last year, I had the shed "treated" for $125.00! I did this and the entire house and yard and still have more then 1/2 gal. of Talstar One left. I thought, for the price, it was worth a try. At this point, I am happy with the result. I live in central FL, ants love this place!

This is my second purchase of this product. I have rental houses that I spray on a regular basis. I have never had an insect problem since I started using this product. It has solved my problem, even black widow spiders. once in a while I see a dead bug lying on it's back but no live ones. This is the best and most economical spray I have ever used. Reasonable price and fast delivery direct to my door. I will continue to use and recommend this company and product.

Purchased this and a barebones pump from this site and delivery was very fast. Followed instructions and was ready to spray in about 15 minutes. Sprayed inside and outside of the house and I am not seeing any roaches for the last 2 weeks, except for a few dead ones the first week.

We were infested with stink bugs. We sprayed this all over the outside of the house and around the windows and in the attic. We went from catching 20 stink bugs a day inside to catching 1 or 2 per week. It was amazing. I highly recommend it.

This is the best critter/bug killer that I have ever used. I used to use Dursban, but since it's not FDA approved anymore I tried this. The results are amazing, less toxic to pets/people yet kills just like it should. I use only an oz or so for a small house and have no problems.

I had a metal building shop. I had a problem with house spiders and eggs. I mixed this in a gallon sprayer on Thursday evening. On Friday evening, I could not find a live spider. It is good stuff. I plan on trying it on other pests.

I had a major infestation of brown dog ticks in my yard which worked it's way into the house. I had tried many other products with little to no success. With Talstar One I saw major reduction after 24 hours and with a second application a week later my problem is gone. It is a great product.

My sofits and windows were covered with those annoying stink bugs. Used Talstar P over 3 weeks ago. When I started spraying around siding edges and trim under sofits on my house, the bugs started crawling out from all corners and began falling to their deaths. Have not seen one since. Fantastic product to eliminate stink bugs.
