Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

Moved to SC a year ago. My wife heard about all the huge bugs in SC and demanded we have exterminator services. I like to stretch my dollars, so did a little investigating to find this is the product the pros use. I spray in and around the house once a month during bug season and we don't see many bugs at all. I would say we don't have any, but my wife seems to find a mosquito or fly occasionally. I have recommended this product to many people.

I've been using this product as an maintenance spray around the foundation of my house for a few years now. The retailer that I purchased it from charged me aprox. $50.00 for 16 oz......I thought that was expensive, but it does the job and after the money is spent it's forgotten......Finding it here at such a fair price is a Godsend as things are tight now with prices going up on everything. Being retired and on a pension, it means a lot to me to buy excellent products at a fair price........ It's also the best product that I've found for this use as well as for fire ant mounds.

Great Product. A relative had a major infestation of roaches. She tried all of the store brands. Roaches thought that it was dinner time, not so when I went over and did a through job in her house. I may have to go back a second time not sure yet. I would recommend Talstar to anyone who reads up on how to properly spray for pests. This is my second time doing business with domyownpestcontrol and will continue to do so as needed. Very fast and free shipping, not often do you get both.

My house has been invaded by carpenter ants from time for many years. I have effectively controlled them over the years by injecting diazanon into key locations. When my supply of diazanon (banned in 2004) ran out a couple of years ago my carpenter ants became an uncontrolled nuisance. Nothing they sell at Home Depot would touch them. Then I discovered Talstar. I injected it into the area where I knew the ant larva were stored, and also through the siding between every pair of studs. Within a couple of days all signs of carpenter ants had disappeared. Great product.

It seems our entire street lives on an ant hill, because we could not keep those varmints out for long. I was paying $75 per quarter for pest control in our house and outside as well. I read the directions, applied a band around the outside perimeter, windows and doorways of our home and I have not seen one bug, ant, or anything for the past 2 months. We have had rainy and exceptionally dry weather, too. I highly recommend Talstar One.

I've been using Talstar for over 5 years now mainly for carpenter ants and carpenter bees, as well as anything else that crawls into the basement, garage and shed. Seen very quick results by the next day or two (no knock down). Doesn't smell or leave chalky residue, but of course has residual properties that seem to last. I treat my house eaves, fascia boards, perimeter 3-4 times a year, interior c & c twice a year and I'm free of invaders. This is a very effective product. Make sure to shake very well before dilution especially after it sits awhile in storage and during application.

I purchased two containers of TallstarP to combat the destructive spider mites that were eating my arborvitaes . I had high hopes before the purchase that this is it and I'm gonna get rid of the enemies of my evergreen trees, but unfortunately the product didn't live up to it's claim of effectiveness to destroy the bugs. Regrettably after spraying my trees , I checked the trees and to my great disappointment I saw the bugs are active in their destructive activities and are alive and well.

After using the two baits the sweet one and the protein one for two weeks plus, the protein one only the tiny ants eat it but they all the ants like the sweet gel stuff. so today I went around and sprayed the whole foundation of house and under clap board and one foot off foundation on ground good soaking per instructions. Will see if this knocks some numbers down of ants. sprayed it on some ants roaming around it killed them. only 3 stars for now till I see some drop in ants

I live in North Dakota, in the spring the ticks are unbelievable, thousands of them, they catch a ride on my dogs and end up in the house, I have 5 acres and try to keep most of it mowed, ticks don't like short grass, I bought the Talstar P and a sprayer to pull behind my ATV , treated a 20,000 sg ft shelter belt and some other long grass areas amazing, I would say that 95% of the ticks are gone, seldom see one now.

I just moved to Kissimmee where my new house was infested with ants, palmetto bugs that look like giant roaches, and water beetles that look like slightly smaller giant roaches. They were everywhere and it was really disgusting. After spraying the Talstar P inside and out I almost immediately saw them running for the hills. It was a bit frightening. After 3 days of finding dead insects everywhere there wasn't a bug in sight. A couple of weeks have passed and still no bugs. Also, my cat is fine which was a concern. I'm pleased.

So I watched a video on YouTube about this product. The man showed while he was spraying and when he finished all the dead bugs. We tried everything even professional coming into the house to spray which seemed to bring more bugs!??????????? We have 3 different kinds of ants, spiders, and mosquitoes So I sprayed inside and out and they are gone! I'm consciously looking everyday, but I haven't seen any, and I can sit outside without freaking bugs attacking me!! I've told like 20 people already!!

This product is better than I could have ever imagined! I use to have spiders and a big mosquito problem at my house. I haven't seen spiders since but I am more impressed with how well it is working against mosquitos. Sitting outside in my patio would be unbearable as the mosquitos would start biting you. I've used Cutter backyard spray and Thermacell scent to try to keep them away but never worked well. Talstar has helped tremendously! We can sit outside in our patio and not be bothered by mosquitos.

We have only used talstar once so far. We are covered up in lots of critters here in Tennessee. We watched in total amazement as the flying bugs flew away as we sprayed. It's amazing! No more fleas around our dogs house. The mosquitoes have been gone for about a week so far. (We sprayed a week ago) This stuff is awesome!! It's super concentrated so a little goes a long, long way!! I'm happy we can do it ourselves and not pay someone else hundreds of dollars.

I've searched around for an exterminator and their prices were just ridiculous. I found this site and this product from searching the web. I read a lot of good reviews and decided to give it a try. I mainly had black and brown widow spiders around the outside of my house and in the garage. Within about 5 mins of applying, I started to see the spiders come out of their hiding places and started to die. This stuff worked outstanding for me. Thank you DoMyOwnPestControl.com I will definitely be recommending this site and product to family and friends. Thank you A+

This is really good stuff and very economical when compared to the cost of having a pest control service. Since the drought started in California, I've seen a huge increase in bugs, especially sewer roaches looking for water. Now I see them on their backs with stars in their eyes. None have gotten in the house for which I'm very grateful! Plus sales staff are helpful and courteous and good tips on the videos at the web site. Give them a call it'll be worth your time.

I purchased Talstar P for control of mosquitoes I sprayed flower beds my lawn around house outside per directions. I didn't spray the flowers or buds didn't know if it might kill bees, butterflies etc.just ground area. After 24 hrs I noticed I didn't have that many mosquitoes and could sit out without being dive bombed by them. Will follow directions and retreat in 2 wks. I still see bees and butterflies also it controls fleas and ticks just keep your pets inside per directions until dried.

I live in Oklahoma and every year I have to deal with those ants. Like other reviews have said I have tried every product that your major home improvement stores carry. nothing worked. A year ago I bought this product. It has been the best thing that I have ever bought. I cannot emphazize how good this stuff works. When the ants show up treat around the base of your house, treat around any columns you have and it will stop them. I have reccomended this to my fellow workers and they all come back and thank me. Give it a try.

I had a problem with chinch bugs, fire ants and what appeared to be carpenter ants invading my lawn. Chinch bugs were the worse, stinging the nodes of the Bermuda. One application got rid of all the invading insects. The grass looks so green and healthy. It does have a barrier, days later after the initial application I noticed ants dying after coming into the perimeter areas that were sprayed. This spray is better than any of the products you'll probably find on the store counters. It's the best investment I could have made for my lawn.

Received product on time. The on-line information about the product was helpful. I gathered the information prior to purchase. The product killed or ran away everything that crawled in my yard. I let it dry as defined in the documentation before letting my pets out in the yard. Since I was treating for multiple types of bugs I went with the recommendation for the treatment with the highest concentration. Make sure your sprayer has a fine mist all the way to a long stream to cover all areas. Like the eaves of the roof where spiders are. Going to do my house next. Highly recommend the product and the company.

I have been using Talstar for about a year on all the homes I treat and I have yet to get called back for re-treatments. I treat every three months and it seems to do the trick. I just bought a new 3/4 gallon jug and someone wasn't paying attention when they drove into my driveway and ran over it. It survived with only a tiny hole on one corner so it is in a pretty durable container. Very happy with it.

Been using this product for 3 years now. Where I live there is normally ant problems 6 months out of the year. Since I started using this product, I simply spray the pine trees in the spring when the ants come out of the trees. This takes care of the problem for the rest of the year. I also spray around the house foundation. Does a great job on mosquitoes. Spraying the lawn twice a year takes care of the problem. You won't find an insecticide that is this effective at lowe's, Home Depot, Grange Co-Op etc.

Great product Had problems with ground beetles the past few years. Nothing I used worked until I used Talstar P. this stuff is amazing. Absolutely zero bugs of any kind in or around the house. While others are still fighting off the ground beetles and other unwanted visitors with the stuff Lowes or HD carry, I'm sitting pretty with the Talstar that I bought from domyownpestcontrol.com. So far I just used one application and I'm shocked how well it worked. It is truly the atomic bomb for bugs. Super satisfied.

This stuff is phenomenal. We were recommended this product by a friend and it has been amazing. We live very deep in the woods and it was hard to leave the house before you were chewed through by the mosquitos. After applying Talstar, I can enjoy my back deck and paths again! We have animals that are outside and after letting Talstar dry the animals have not been affected by it at all. They appreciate the lack of insects as well! I highly recommend this product!

We purchased this spray on line, received it in 3 days; my husband sprayed our 10 yr. old wisteria arbor and it was completely free of kudzu bugs by the next morning. We also sprayed around the house and other flowering borders, and they also were kudzu bug free. I cannot believe that the wisteria arbor was just covered (each tentacle had at least 1000 bugs on them and the arbor is 16 ft long. This Talstar P is certainly a miracle spray and we will purchase more when needed, and tell all our friends about it.

I was constantly having to kill those baby millipedes in my walkout basement. Shortly after spraying this stuff around the outside and inside of the house, the floor was soon covered with lots of dead ones, and 2 weeks later, we occasionally only see one or two dead ones (instead of a dozen) when we go down stairs. Definitely a huge improvement, and now I don't have to do the killing personally. Of course, my order arrived very quickly, as always. Love this company and its products.

Several years ago my lab got out of our yard and was found several miles from our house. When we brought her home we did not know she was covered in ticks. Within a few days it became evident and we groomed her and removed well over 100 ticks! Within about 3 weeks we had ticks crawling up our walls! It was GROSS! I tried EVERYTHING, to no avail. Finally I got some Talstar and the ticks began to disappear. Within about 2 weeks no ticks. We have been tick free now for 3 years and we just used Talstar for termites. LOVE IT!

I used this for my shed that the Carpenter ants got to.  The Carpenter ants are now history (I sprayed inside the shed and outside all around the building and ground).  I am now spraying the outside of the my house and about 2 feet up by say 2 feet out from the foundation just in case, it did not harm the flowers or bushes, great stuff and a great value and it is shipped on time.  I was surprised 4 days and I was laying down Talstar P.

I had a pretty good infestation in my yard of chinch bugs. They were using the weeds like little umbrellas. Every time I pulled up a weed I could literally see 5 or 6 of the little buggers run. I have applied Talstar product as directed three times and I believe I'm beginning to see improvement. Only 2 or 3 run when I pull up a weed. As far as other bugs I'd say its a great product and protects the house well. Just hope a couple more treatments on the yard will get those chinch bugs.

I have been using Talstar going on 5 years. Talstar has been the only product that I put on my lawn that actually killed the chinch bugs and cleared my lawn of ant mounds. Sprayed against the outside walls controlling the amount of bugs getting in my house. This is the first time getting such a good offer on Talstar that I could not pass up buying the 3/4 gallon although I still have enough for about two spraying in my other gallon. Look forward to receiving another great sale like this one. Chuck
