Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I have had a professional company treating the house for almost two years and while they did well with most of the pest, the millipedes have remained consistent. They've even come back out to do interim treatments because we kept seeing them in the basement. My wife's parents live in an apartment down there so we need it to be bug free. Decided to try this in addition to what the professional company put down. It's been two weeks since i've done the additional treatment and we haven't seen one since. They were popping up every few days before I sprayed. We'll keep an eye out for them, but if this holds up...it's my new favorite thing to spray in the house now. I will also cancel my professional exterminator contract. Save me some serious $$ with this stuff. Thank you!

I bought this to use around my house and for our church building as I am the building and grounds maintenance manager. I sprayed a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be doing a good job. I sprayed inside against the baseboards and under appliances. Ouside I sprayed up 2 feet on the foundation and about 2-3 feet out from foundation. I have only seen dead bugs inside and they seem to be fewer in count in both our house and at the church. I bought the 3/4 gallon to do several applications and I plan to do so over the next several months because I cancelled the expensive pest control service we were using. If all works as planned, Talstar P should save us several hundred dollars a year between my house and the church. I use a 4 gallon backpack sprayer using approx. 10 gallons to spray the church inside and out (BIG BUILDING). The 3/4 gallon Talstar should make almost 200 gallons of spray for our applications making this a very inexpensive solution to get rid of the bugs. Thanks for a great product!

Pest control pricing in my area is ridiculous. they wants $90+ every three months and they only spray one time in the quarter unless I specifically request them to come back. I decided I would check in to doing it myself and I am sure glad I did. It is very easy and even with having to buy the sprayer and the pesticide, after one use I am already money ahead of getting a quarterly service from a local company. I used this for the first time on 6/26/16. The very next day I saw lots of dead bugs in front of my garage and front door including disgusting cockroaches. In my backyard we had trails of ants in several places plus fire ants in the yard. It has now been two weeks and no ants on the patio or in the house. As I said above, it was really easy to use. I have a two gallon sprayer so I measured two ounces and dumped into sprayer then slowly filled with water so as not to splash. Put the pumper back into the sprayer, pumped up the pressure and treated the perimeter of my house as well as the shrubbery around my house. Very little mess and cleanup was a breeze. So far, I am a happy camper.

We live in the south and get a lot of what I call water bugs, which are gigantic roaches. I sprayed all along the inside baseboards, under the sink and behind the fridge. I then went outside and sprayed around the bottom of the house. All around the windows and door frames, I found a few dead bugs inside afterwards but nothing since then. I highly recommend this product.

I've been using Bayer advanced home pest control for years, they are fine, and does the job most of the time, but Talstar P is basically better in almost every way. It is more effective, much cheaper, less than $0.5/gal vs $7/gal. Since I am not a professional, I can't comment on its effectiveness of killing the toughest bugs, but I do know it does a good job keeping silverfish, ants, and roaches away from my house.

This is the only thing I've found (available to most homeowners) that will control spiders. Once a year, I spray it at the base of the outside walls of the house and other structures, around the outside of windows and doors, in the nooks and crannies of the patio lattice, around the security cameras, and underneath all of the patio furniture. Few spiders for the entire next year. I use PPE, and wouldn't recommend spraying inside a dwelling.

I have used Talstar for a few ant treatments and I must say that the product works around the perimeter in and outside of the home. The only reason this gets a 4 star is because it is not as residual as some products on the market. In humid weather, like in Tennessee, this product comes off with ease and can allow the new infestations of creatures to come into the house.

We still have "crazy ants", microscopic ones that have been sprayed inside and outside and all over the house. They show up on counters and cannot keep any type of food product that one usually keeps on a kitchen counter top. They'll even show up all over shampoo bottles in the shower in the morning and if you leave a dirty dish in the sink, they're on it! What to do?!

Order arrived in 5 days. I drilled all the holes one day and had a friend of mine that owns professional insecticide equipment spray the next day. There were active termites crawling in some areas, he sprayed directly on them and within 30 minutes they were dead. Other creatures were running from the spray area. A week later an inspection of previous termite trails revealed no active activity. Talstar is not turmidor but it works.

I used this for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Mosquitoes were so thick on my one acre place they would carry you away. I sprayed 16 gallons of solution at 1 oz. per gallon with a misting rig I made for my leaf blower. Took me about 45 minutes to use all the product. Went in the house, took a shower, came back outside, NO mosquitoes, gone, not one. Been mosquito free ever since.

I have now sprayed my house top to bottom twice. I had oriental roaches, ants, wasps, pillbugs, and beetles when I moved in. After following the instructions the first time I noticed that the pillbugs and wasps were gone, but still had issues with the others. 2 weeks later I sprayed again, and I was still seeing the roaches, ants and beetles. I finally went and bought a raid fogger and already noticed a significant difference.

I bought it for springtails (although they are easy to kill. It's just a control system when you spray to kill them. Have to take care of the moisture problem before they will truly go away). I'm the midst of us getting the funding to fix the moisture problem we infested in this product. It has killed the springtails. (Though any killer could kill them). I was hoping it would kill other bugs as well. It hasn't. Ant problem is actually worse.

I've been using this over the past year. Spraying 4 feet up the exterior walls, around windows/doors, 3 feet away from the foundation and garden beds as well as perimeter treatments. It seemed to work but not quick enough to stop the bugs from entering the house. I found some dead insects but I still had to manually kill earwigs/spiders every day. I just tried Tempo SC Ultra and Demand G Granules which worked 100% better.

Stuff is great! Was tired of paying 40 bucks a month for our bug guy so i found Talstar P. I've seen dead spiders that i didn't see when our bug guy was spraying. I've noticed lots of dead roaches, pincher bugs and other spiders. Also let my dad use on bees that were around his house and worked on them as well. I will definitely be buying more.

Always had problems with spiders and brown ants in my garage. Sprayed around whole interior of my garage, driveway and around perimeter of the house. What a difference. The only bugs I see now are dead ones. Reminder, this is not an instant kill product but once bugs cross over it it's only a short time until they die. Wear a mask and be careful if it's windy. Glad I found this vendor. Forget wasting money at the big box stores.

I did a perimeter spray around my house and so far no insects have made it inside. To be honest, I didn't even do the perimeter treatment properly. I only sprayed about three feet out and one foot up, and just that little bit did the trick. No more roaches, no more millipedes. I will continue to buy Talstar as long as it continues to work.

I live in an old house that is on the national register. For some reason ants and spiders like the old gal. I do have a termite policy and I used there ant and bug policy for a while then I came across Talstar which knocks them out better than the bug policy I had. It is a great product and the folks at domyown. com are very helpful and professional. Side note: follow the precautions on the container and protect yourself.

I've had the product for about two months. It has worked as expected. No bug problems around the house or in the yard. Works great on ants. They didn't just move the mound, they are gone for good. Would recommend to spend money on this product. It was recommended to me by a vet because I had a tick problem with my dogs. No more ticks.

I have used this product for several years and it works better than any other I have tried. Its potency lasts longer than most and reapplication isn't necessary every month. The only bugs I find in the house are dead ones. It worked very well on my daughter-in-laws farm around the outside this spring when the Japanese Beetles and Box Elder bugs came out. I've recommended it to several people and they are impressed with it as well.

I have used this product for years in and around my homes in Southern California. I spray every few months for ants, caterpillars, crickets and flies. It is one of the best products on the market that I know of. Buying from "Do My Own Pest Control" has always been a positive experience as well. If I have a question all I need do is call or email them. I always get a rapid response. Kudos to this company and this product!

I have used this to control primarily mosquitoes in our yard, but also as a secondary to control ants and a persistent group of Kudzu bugs. It is fantastic! Mix and use as directed and it just works. Great knockdown on the mosquitoes and the other bugs have just disappeared. I am know the hero for the neighbors as well as I sprayed around their homes. We are a sanctuary in a sea of bugs around us.

This past summer we had a serious seed tick infestation at the edge of the yard, especially around the pen where my three Beagles stay. On one day after working in this area, I had to remove 10 little ticks from various locations on me. One 3 gallon batch of spray, liberally applied in suspect areas, did the trick. We also used this spray for nuisance ants, crickets etc around the outside of the house. That was the best $38.00 I ever spent!

I live in maryland and I use this product in my old house which has every creepy crawler imaginable. My son wouldn't even sleep in his own room most of the time and would opt to sleep with his grandmother. Well last night my son was able to finally sleep in his room after the room being creepy crawly (mainly silverfish) free for 5 days. I will continue to buy this, it is awesome.

I used to go with a brand in a orange box, but my luck ran out apparently. We unknowingly bought a house with a formicary or so it seems underneath. These ants are like mike tyson in his prime, it's Ludacris. I needed a professional strength and professional results without the associating costs, and found talstar p. There slogan should be, "formicary today, empty soil tomorrow" so nice to be without ants again. Thank you

I bought this for fleas mainly since I have an issue with them. Having five dogs I wanted to treat my yard. I have applied two applications heavily and it hasn't done one things. Actually they seem worse. It's good for roaches and spidered but for fleas I wouldn't recommend it. I even mixed it with Bifin I got at the same time. :( $100 wasted ach

Why waste money paying some dude to do this? It takes about 15 min to spray the perimeter of my house. A little effort goes a long way. Plus you can spray areas you know cause problems that a pest control guy won't do. Like out on the front edge of the yard where ants can run rampant. Thanks for carrying this DoMYOwn. Got this in 3 days hassle free!
