Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

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.

I am using TalstarP on aphids on roses. After a couple applications, I am told that I am doing the right insecticide, applied in the correct manner, I have read all the tips, and followed directions. Even spoke with a person at DoMyOwn. Aphid control is spotty, but I am hoping it will get better. I was surprised to find that this insecticide is made in China, not the end of the world, but surprising. Anyway, I do appreciate DoMyOwn, good people, that are knowledgeable, and there to help. I just with I was getting better results with my TalstarP.

I checked my yard an house for any places mosquitoes could lay eggs or be nesting/ seeking refuge from heat. I applied the product per the directions, under and on top of leaves of all shrubs,trees,plants. The garden beds, lawn and patio areas, umbrellas, you name it. I sat down outside for a hopefully mosquito less evening. Not mosquito free. I received 17 bites in 5 minutes and every night since. I re applied per instructions. Zero results. This was a complete waste of time and money. Save your money for a screened enclosure.

Great Product! After seeing how it would work in my own yard and around the house, I sprayed my fathers. Needless to say, he was following me around to make sure I wasn't missing anything lol. Long story short, after he saw the results, he asked me to order him some. The following day, I ordered two gallons, one for each of us. I applied 1oz to the gallon per 1000 sq/ft. I will say the ants were back after about 4 weeks but you could see where it killed a pile of them around the edges of the beds. You literally can see insect running especially around flowerbeds with pine straw.

This product was recommended by a co-worker as we were looking for an exterminator after our exterminator retired. We used this product to help with ants, mosquitoes, and spiders. While spraying the corners and around doors and windows, I saw spiders literally dying within a few minutes. Between this product and a sprayer, we will save time and money. Being able to exterminate your house on your schedule and not spend several hundred dollars for an exterminator is amazing. We are enjoying the outside of our home much more now.

So far so good!! Immediate result. Very pleased. It was easy. Non staining to siding so it isn't seen or leaves a residue and while spraying doesn't have an overwhelming chemical smell. I wasn't sure if it was going to work but since I sprayed it I haven't seen one small tiny ant around my door openings inside my house at all ....nit anywhere....gone! Totally awesome so far and worth every penny. We'll see what my results are 7 days from now and make sure it did the job. Thank you guys so much for making it easy.

Have been dealing with spiders and earwigs for months now, the Mrs. said enough is enough. Not wanting to continually pay someone to spray our house. We used "DoMyOwnPestControl" and WOW, what a difference. Results were immediate. Have not seen one spider/earwig or any bug since. Thank you for a wonderful, easy to use product. Paying $30-40 with ability to reuse product is way cheaper than $70 every 6 months. We will be moving to a new home and will be spraying prior to moving in.

I've been using Talstar P due to it's price, and let me tell ya, it's worked it's magic. I haven't had a bug in the house in a year, except for the rare little black beetle bug. The bugs die around the perimeter of my home before they get in! It has also helped with my scorpion control! I use the liquid spray along with the Talstar P granules and it works like a charm! Since doing this combo, it's been 4 nights in a row without killing one Arizona bark scorpion! I will win this scorpion war!!

I bought this and it works great on grasshoppers ,ants, ,crickets ,and other small bugs . But not so much on cockroaches . I have German and oriental but not a large amount . They are coming from the neighbors house that is now vacant . I can kill them but is slow and bars almost no affect to them . I hope this will help someone else and not make the mistake I did . I'm not calling this a bad decision but i should have used bait and a tougher killer .

I live on a lake and was constantly losing the battle with biting flies and mosquitoes. Fogger didn't really work and every night we would have to go inside. After purchasing the Talstar P and doing one application around my house I thought this will never work. But to my amazement after 1 hour all the mosquitoes were gone and we spent the night outside enjoying the night air. I highly recommend this product to control these pest. Oh yea in a day the biting flies were gone also.

I use Talstar P every year. Mosquitoes were worse this year than in the past several years and ticks rampant! After spraying with Talstar P I haven't seen a single mosquito or tick! I sprayed my neighbors properties several years ago and they've been using Talstar P ever since. This year, I introduced Talstar P to a new neighbor and by the next day she was mosquito free and convinced as I am that Talstar P is a wonderful product. I will continue using Talstar P and recommending it to all my friends and neighbors!

I have been using this product for about five years with excellent results on all kinds of insects. I spray our home and some of my close friends homes, this has saved them and myself at least $2,555.Oo dollars during this time span even when I deduct the cost of talstar one . This is the same product that my former exterminator was using and I spray more often than he did. My wife does not want to see any pest period!!!! thanks for making it available I also use other products from your company and am very satisfied with the price and their performance.

I had a problem with odorous house ants. The pest control company helped, but did not eliminate it. I ended the service and baited two areas with Advion Gel. (Read my review-Excellent product.) In another area ants were showing up one or two at a time inside along a wall facing the back yard. I suspect the pest control company didn't do a very thorough perimeter treatment. I did a thorough perimeter spray with Talstar and I have had NO ants inside for 5 days, and I have looked thoroughly every day because I hate ants. The service and sale price at this web site were also outstanding.

Good product, prompt delivery! Battling stink bugs in Virginia. I don't know if we are winning the battle or not. These critters are everywhere and awfully hard to kill, but this stuff seems to work better than anything I've tried so far. They don't drop dead immediately when sprayed but most do keel over in a few hours. If the goverment released these miserable pests to control lady bugs as the rumor has it, then they better turn loose of some DDT before they destroy all our homes and crops!

We were absolutely infested with millipedes!  After spending a fortune on over the counter insecticides from our local hardware and discount stores and nothing worked, I found domyownpestcontrol.com and decided to give it a try!! Our lawn, patio, basement were crawling with millipedes, they were even climbing up the foundation and siding outside the house!! A few days after using Talstar P, our millipede problem was gone!! I am going to apply it again this spring, and I hope it works as well on fleas as it did millipedes!! Thank you Domyownpestcontrol!! Excellent customer service, fast shipping, fair price!!

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.

Live in Atlanta, so had quite a few different bugs that we were trying to prevent/get rid of. Biggest improvement were with lady bugs. If you are from atl, you know what I am talking about, if not, they are a huge pain. These were a huge nuisance the first year in our house but I sprayed Talstar both inside and outside and we haven't seen lady bugs since. Our termite bait guys want to charge hundreds to come spray quarterly, I spray bi-monthly and am very satisfied (not to mention the money you save).

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

I gave 2 stars because I've used Bifenthrin before in other products, like Ortho, with terrific results! I thought Talstar would be THAT much better but after applying the max dosage to my lawn it made NO difference! Still tons of lawn critters, spiders, mole crickets, scorpions, fire ants, gnats, mosquitoes. So I sprayed just around our back patio area with "Bayer advanced" and in two hours there was a small army of dead bugs listed above on the patio. Now, like I say I've used Bifenthrin before in lower doses with great results.  So is it possible I got a bum batch or something??? I dunno...

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
