Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

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 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.

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 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.

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'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.

Had recurring issues with millipedes. Had a professional company come out and spray for over a year and they kept coming back after just week or so. I decided to give this a shot and since I've sprayed this in the basement and along the perimeter of the house, haven't seen one since. It's been a few weeks now and I hope they will stay gone for at least a month or two when I will spray again. Hopefully that will take us in to winter and maybe they will go dormant. Either way, it appears this is really effective and I would highly recommend it!

I do not normally write reviews. However since we were covered up with ant mounds all thru our my flower beds and pots. And nothing was working I gave Talstar a try. By the next day most of the mounds were gone. There were ant carcasses piled up all around the outside of the mound. It is definitely worth buying. The next product will be for carpentar ants. These things are killing all our hardwoods. And now they're coming in my house. Which causes as much as damage as termites. In the past exterminators have been unsuccessful with this menace. I hope I get the same results as I did with Talstar.

The mosquitoes were horrible after we got 12 plus inches of rain in one day about 2 weeks later you couldn't even step out into garage without the lik suckers attacking you! We sprayed Telstar over perimeter of house and we were good to go for a couple weeks while our friends had to stay inside! I believe a few of them will be ordering from you by next summer ???? It normally last longer than 2 weeks but I'm telling you I've never seen them this bad so getting a couple weeks out of 1 spray was fine with me....this stuff REALLY WORKS!!

So far so good. After one application, Japanese Beetles have ceased from destroying my roses. I tried several other products and this one was the only one to offer results longer than a couple of days. It has been a week since application and its still working. I will apply again in four weeks. Also, the lady I spoke to on the phone today (7/24/20) in the morning was very helpful and knowledgeable pertaining to a question I had-great customer service. Thank you!

I'm glad to have found a project that is of industrial Gray if I can also do myself or reasonable and affordable price which is enough to last me a while instead of using the typical Home Depot products. I sprayed all my plants trees hedge and everything around my entire house and yard and I must admit I did not see and immediate reaction to the mosquito issue we were having which is why I gave this review for stars but I will apply monthly as it suggests in order to help hopefully see a decrease in the mosquito problem

Had a real problem with stink bugs this year in the Chattanooga, tn. area. Our home and cars were just covered with the little demons by 1:pm every day. Tried everything I could find locally at Lowes, home depot and nurshery to get rid of the stink bugs... No luck. Did some research on the internet and clled the University UT and was given a list of potential chemicals. Well to make a long story short 24 hours fter house attic and crawl space application... GONE! Sprayed the surround shrubs, plants and grass ...nothing in over 3 weeks. Happy Family

purchased product which arrived with a damaged box - emailed company, replacement arrived ASAP -fabulous! sprayed Talstar P on roof, down chimney, exterior of house, 3' on ground away from foundation. I was especially focused on Stink Bug eradication - after 1 week there is a huge reduction in number of bugs, will spray again as directed Product is great, stink bugs died and I can open screened windows and doors without fear of invasion. did not spray on windows as one reviewer suggested . thank you chemists!

The floor inside my house is made of ceramic. I had an ants plague picking ground from every notch in the joints. I used many products: liquids, powders, sprays; not one worked. Two weeks ago spayed the corners with a mixture of one ounce Talstar P per one gallon of water. The area looks clean and dry, but the next morning there was a layer of dead ants over the floor. Didn't imagine that hundreds of ants living under the ceramic. I really recommend this product.

I will try to make this short, I am very impressed. We have been fighting grasshoppers for 11 years, nothing works. We were infested with them. First spray I doubled the dose 1 oz, gal. WE live on 1 And half acre, I sprayed a perimeter of 95 by 120 ft where the house and gardens are, did not spray gardens. After over 3 weeks no grasshoppers in my perimeter . I have chickens they are mad at me they have to go outside the perimeter to get their grasshoppers. I will spray again in a couple days saw a couple today. I will use regular dose next time

This is the first time using a Talstar product and it worked wonders. We moved into a house in North Florida and the previous owner put down a ton of pine straw so the mosquitoes were awful. The other bug population attracted 30-40 spiders throughout the yard (front and back). I used as prescribed, 3-4 weeks later I haven't seen any spiders or mosquitoes. It hasn't effected the dogs (Rottweiler and Ridgeback), and it's held up in the massive rain storms we've been having. I have not used it indoors (except the garage) yet, but haven't seen any signs of need.

We bought a new to us house. W didn't realize how awful the mosquito problem was in the back yard. It was really bad!! We have taken every step we know of to reduce the problem. It was better but still...lots of mosquitoes. A friend told me about this product. I have ordered several times now. The delivery is really fast..which is great because you don't have to pay extra for that. Our neighbors use it now too. The price is good and the product works.

I had an infestation of grandaddy long legs or harvestman spiders last summer and I had the Orkin Man come spray them but I was not happy with the results, so I researched them on the internet and decided to try Talstar P on them this year when they came out. This stuff really works on them. They are gone now. 5 stars for this product. It didn't take very much to mix a gallon of liquid and I only needed 1/2 gal to spray all around the outside my house.

I am a repeat customer, always have had good luck with your product.Recently noticing one of my trees looking sick and tired, upon examining it closer I noticed it was loaded with black ants.I mixed 1 ounce of Talstar with a gallon of water sprayed the trunk and tree liberally. It is probably now 3 weeks and the tree is looking better and still no sign of ants or bugs of any kind.Plus i use it on the outside of my house,and my cottage in Northern Michigan,It definitely gets the job done, and much cheaper than calling an exterminator.. thank you

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
