Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

Thought it's stronger but it's not. I live by a lake and lots of bugs around the house most of the time. I've been using some other "cheaper" products and they were good for two/three days then I see the bugs back again. Almost same thing with this product. Need something lasts longer..

Residential application: Treated soffits, exterior around doors and windows...Gone a week and returned to a house that didn't look like a Halloween scene and the wasps are gone as well....Treated neighbors to an ounce each and they have had the same results...I know there are now 4 more customers that will use this regularly...

This stuff absolutely outdid my expectations! I sprayed the base of the house as a test and after the first week there were hundreds of dead bugs in the sprayed areas. So this weekend I mixed up more and sprayed everything else. I'll definitely continue to reapply as the instructions suggest.

I love this stuff. Since I've been using it there have been no ants or spiders in my house, and for living in Florida that is amazing. Getting ready to see how it works for scale on one of my palms. So glad this product was recommended to me.

We were paying a bug spray company $145 a/month and were still seeing spiders. Our joke was $145 to give our spiders a bath. We bought this product and my husband got geared up and sprayed the house and yard himself. We were extremely happy with the results.

I have been using this a few years now, works great, I have a couple of dogs and have never had a flea problem, moved to a new house and saw 1 roach and I put this down and have not seen any since. My whole family calls me when they want a treatment

I read reviews before about mosquitoes which primarily got my attention. Mosquitoes have been particularly bad in Oklahoma this year so was hoping this could provide some reprieve. I sprayed in the yard, fence, tress, house and the next day my son still came in with multiple bites after playing in the backyard. Wish it would have worked like others described!

I've been using this for a few years. This essentially the same product used by professional services, except they are licensed to use a more concentrated version. Product needs to be applied every 2-to-3 weeks for mosquito control. House perimeter spraying controls ants as well. Money I saved doing myself more than offset cost of buying a power mister.

We had a very wet spring and also have a chicken farm and as a result had an unbelievable amount of flies around the house. Talstar took care of not only the flies, but also the majority of the mosquitoes. We have to spray every few weeks but it works great.

Used it on my grass and bushes first to control the mosquitoes and gnats. A week later, I was in my yard and not bothered by any insects. However, I began to notice a lot of mosquitoes clinging to the siding on the front of my house. I sprayed the siding around the windows and door. No more mosquitoes! This product works great!

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 .

Worked great inside and outside the house. Killed insects on contact. My biggest concern was mosquitoes. Talstar P decimated the mosquitoe population around my house and kept the mosquitoes away from the yard back and front and side. Bonus all the other insects like spiders, moths etc all disappeared too. As other reviewers have stated that depending how much it rains and temprature variations the outside has to be treated monthly in my case, I live in Houston TX. Please dont use it against me ;) I love the place been here more than 20 years. Now its even better with all the pesky insects eliminated. I followed instructions from the manufacturer and also used some advice from reviewers of this product like using dish washing liquid. I am very happy with my purchase and am saving $300 annually by doing my own pest control.

Las Vegas has many areas of town with bark scorpion problems. I have used Talstar P for the last five years. (The 3/4 gallon jug is the best price per ounce). I used to get five or six scorpions in the house over the course of a year. Now, I average maybe 0 -1, and the one that gets in is dead or almost dead. I spray (1 oz per gallon of water) twice a month outside and once inside. (It is labeled safe for indoor use for crack/crevices but I tend to push that a little and do a light spray around entry areas to the house.) Not only will this kill scorpions but it takes out the smaller bugs that are the scorpion's food source.

After the death of my dad we packed alot of his stuff up in boxes and moved it our home. A few weeks later I noticed a roach. Couple weeks later more and more and more. We have never had a roach problem even tho we never got our house sprayed by a pro. We live in a log home and I'd rather not have people on the inside of the house spraying stuff on the logs. I did some reaseaech and found the chemicals in this product is what's in the commercial products. So I ordered the product, applied the product with a pump sprayer I got at Lowe's ....two days later the house keeper called me and said she had swept a good many dead roaches. My response was great! I applied another round a week later ....this has been 3 weeks ago and it's still working. We have gotten rid of the cardboard boxes that dad's stuff was in. This is a great product. I would recommend this to anyone!

I have had an increasing problem with millipede infestation each fall for the past 4 years. I have tried "many" products from home and garden departments/big box stores, and none did much more than slow the infestation slightly. Last year we had thousands in our basement and on our sun room with access to the outside. At your online recommendation I purchased Telstar P and have been amazed at how well it has worked. I sprayed planting beds around the perimeter of our house and the foundation as well as sidewalks, and the problem is all but eliminated - only a few visible, and residual effect might be ultimately get those. NONE in the house. Thanks for your help

Over the course of my life l have had many encounters with ants. I have squashed them, set them on fire, sailed them down the creek, peed on them, etc and then I read where God had said to consider the ant and its ways. I'm thankful He did not say be one with the ant! I have been dealing with ants in my home for some time and have used many products to try and stop them from taking up residence here. Finally I do believe I have the upper hand. I have sprayed this product around the perimeter of the house and inside in certain areas. I do believe that stopped them! I will continue to treat my house on a regular schedule. I am pleased that I don't have to pay a company to do it!! I have become the aggressor and spray areas where I find ants in the yard. Great product!!!

This product is the number one safety product to get rid of bugs, roaches and all the insects that can invade your household. Excellent for both outside and in with no fear in endangering your pets or your children. I have used this product and there is no need for anything else as it meets all my requirements. In using this product you do not see any insects around for the longest time and even on the outside the rain does not affect its usefulness. I spray around the entire house both on the ground and on the sides of the house. I would recommend this product to anyone as safe and effective and not expensive.

Great product. Use to use Cyper WP, but that was taken off the market, then used Demon WP, but that is now only available in small packets. Plus both of these products left a stain on dark surfaces. It appears that Talstar is much safer to use and dries clear. It is the same product that my current pest management business (soon to be former) uses. We live on a lake and have a lot of spiders. This has worked great. It has noticeably made a difference with other pests both outside and inside the house. Currently my pest management business only treated the outside area of our house and decks, primarily because of additional cost for the interior. I was able to purchase both Talstar P and Talstar granules for less than the cost of one pest management application and have enough for many more applications. Shipment was fast and easy.

Deal with hobo spiders, wolf spiders and western conifer seed bugs this time of year (Aug-Sept). When I say deal with I mean a lot, spiders in your shoes if you leave them on porch and seed bugs all over the outside of house. Bought Talstar because it said it lasted months with one spray and was safe around pets and kids. Sprayed outside of house and garage and 10-15ft out around foundation. After a few days there was dead bugs and spiders everywhere. Does take a few days to kill spiders but after a day they don't move then die a few days later. Very pleased with this product and DMOPC.

Before Talstar I didn't use any mosquito control products. We live on a 20 acre wooded lot with 3 swamps/ponds and a nearby lake. Our car would attract so many mosquitoes just driving down our 1/4 mile driveway we couldn't even pull in the garage or too many mosquitoes would get in the house. Our kids would come inside after a short time swollen with bug bites. We simply couldn't enjoy our summer outdoors. I used a 26 gallon ATV sprayer to spray Talstar P (mixed with NyGuard IGR) and 3 1/2 weeks later my family is still enjoying the great outdoors! Friends and family who come over to our house notice the immediate difference in the lack of mosquitoes and will soon be Talstar customers themselves!

Stuff works great! I live in the mountains of Southern California. We had a very wet year ending a 6 yr drought. My lake filled up and every creek is running. Because of the heavy rains the mosquitoes were the worst I've experienced in 10 yrs. It was almost impossible to go out side in late afternoon and evenings. You were attacked by swarms of mosquitoes and every time you opened the door several would enter. They would keep you awake at night buzzing around your face and ears. I applied Talstar with my foggier all around the house and foliage surrounding the house. That was two weeks ago and I swear the mosquito infestation is down by at least 95% maybe more. One nice thing is a gallon goes a long way. I'd recommend Talstar to anyone with a big property.

I originally purchased a small container to use in pest control around the house. I've since expanded to treating the yard around the house. Talstar P does unbelievably well taking care of ants. We used to have those very small ants that show up in kitchens but no more. We don't have fire ants so I can't say how it does with them but the typical ant cannot handle it. I treat from the foundation out 50 or more feet and within the treated area there are no ants. They will have nest just outside that perimeter but won't cross the line. I've also found that it removes the grubs from the treated area as well. I appreciate the concentration of the product so I can use it without breaking the bank on cost like so many other products. You can't go wrong treating with Talstar for controlling pesky bugs.

Fast delivery. Used it the day I got it, sprayed the entire yard of the house, CBS of my house and the windows, garage, etc. I noticed that night that I couldn't get a bug to visit my front door light. My back porch was mosquito free for 5-6 days until we had many days of rain in a row. Even still, not much activity, but I reapplied anyway because it was a new product to me, but only about a gallon around the house. A month in, I am very happy. Florida in the summer time is like a buffet for Mosquitoes. Initially, the price looks like it is expensive, but 4 ounces is what I use for two gallons of water. 3/4 gallon is 96 ounces. If I stay true to the directions, that is 24 applications. I was buying fogger liquid or other sprays that only lasted a few applications, throwing money out the window with parley noticeable results. I may not need to buy more Talstar for years.

THIS PRODUCT WORKED AS INTENDED. We recently moved in to a newly built house and the bugs were also moving in too. I started noticing a lot of ants, spiders etc. My husband suggested we call the pest guy that did our initial termite treatment. I told him I know I can do it for cheaper and multiple times a year. I've already had an account with this site from years ago. i bought several other products from here; they haven't failed me yet. I know I can count on DMO for the right product. I started seeing dead bugs around the perimeter of my home the same day I applied it and a couple of days i was seeing less and less inside the house. I bought a 2 gallon sprayer, followed instructions as directed and the rest was history. It has a Milk of Magnesia consistency. I would definitely recommend this site.

I have been using this product from this seller, for many years. No need to try something new, as it always works. I live in a townhouse area, with a retention pond directly in front of my house, and with the water, and the animals it attracts, I used to get many types of bugs, and insects in my garage and home. I spray this around the perimeter of my home, twice a year, early spring, and again before the first freeze, and my house and garage have been critter free for years. The bottle has good instructions, and information, so it is easy to use. It is always shipped promptly, and has never leaked.

just recently we had some ants to come into the house and my wife was saying spray those ants and she was getting upset and I mixed up a small tad and sprayed the ants and it seemed like to me that as soon as I sprayed it instantly killed them all and then I had sprayed around our house with the TALSTAR P it done a super great job and every now and then after I spray on the outside on the porch I see a wasp or fly or some kind of bug dead and that makes me happy and IM very PROUD that I found DMOPC they are great people and now I do my own extermination , if you have ever thought about trying some TALSTAR P well then just get some and use it and you will be very glad that YOU DID its some fine stuff . and I would buy it again

The northwoods had the worst infestation of mosquitoes in the 25 years we have summered here. I heard about this product from a neighbor. I used their 4 gal. backpac (easy to use even for small women) and the Talstar product....We used our patio that eve for the first time in a month. We were having lots of people coming and I thought of having 6 adults, two large dogs and 4 girls in and out of the house, and thus a house full of mosquitoes..Horrible! This product saved my sanity...I havent had misquitoes for over a month with one application..and its safe for all flora and fauna. I took 2 hrs. spraying everything I could even the flora down the road to our home...

Prior to treating the perimeter of my house with Talstar P, I used a gas powered pressure washer to clean the exterior of my house, and all the concrete and the concrete expansion joints. While doing this, I found the daytime hiding spots of all the crawly things; hundreds of various bugs (black widows, roaches, scorpions and other bugs) came out of every crack I blasted with the pressure washer. While blasting out a large expansion joint in the driveway, dozens of crickets emerged. After allowing the house perimeter to dry for 24 hours, I proceeded to treat with Talstar P, mixed at 2 oz. per gallon of water. The house perimeter was treated 2 feet up from the base, and two feet horizontally, with extra attention given to all cracks. All concrete expansion joints (including the driveway) were thoroughly dosed. The interior of the garage was also thoroughly sprayed. Prior to application, my driveway, garage, and yard were a nightmare. Flipping on the garage light at night would reveal dozens of roaches scurrying for cover, numerous black widows in the corners, and the odd scorpion. The driveway would be alive with roaches and crickets. There were so many black widows around the outside of my house (especially the back porch) that my kids weren't allowed in the yard at night. After applying the Talstar P spray, I used a broadcast spreader and applied Talstar granules to the front and back lawns and landscaping. Prior to applying the granules, my lawns were heavily infested with some species of small black spider, as well as a variety of bugs. It has now been three days since application. Last night, I went on a "bug hunt" to see the results of my efforts. Flipped on the garage lights. No scurrying! In fact, there wasn't a (live) bug in sight. No black widows, nothing. The garage was completely dead. Outside, the results were the same. No crickets or roaches on the driveway. No bugs or spiders in the landscaping. After spending the first two post-treatment days cleaning up dead bugs, I have not seen a bug, alive or dead, inside or out. Talstar P and Talstar granules have effectively tamed the myriad of bugs we get here in the desert.

After reading reviews and talking to support staff I bought Talstar P 3/4 gal. to treat my house and perimeter of a very bad springtail problem. I sprayed 3-4 feet up (to bottom of windows), around windows, and then 3-4 feet out on my grass around the whole house. While it's decreased the springtail population somewhat it's not nearly what I was made to think, I still have thousands. I'm also using Bifen granules around the perimeter. Support is now telling me the springtails must be down under my foundation. I understand they can breed there but when they come up and out along my siding why isn't this stuff killing them then since it's suppose to last and be active for 3 months. There is no explanation for that. If you have a springtail problem I would hire a professional company and get a written guarantee they'll get rid of them and keep them away.

Our house has a tree stump in the back yard that causes huge American wood roaches to get inside our house. We usually see a roach every other day, especially when it rains or after cutting grass. Tried using Ortho products from Home Depot but it only kept them away for a few days before coming back. Did some research online and came across Talstar P. Bought a pint and used 1 oz with a gallon of water and sprayed. It's been exactly 20 days and I haven't seen a roach in sight!! Not even after multiple rainy days and grass cuts! Wow!! I'm very impressed and will be a long time customer for sure!
