Talstar Insecticide
By Dee on 10/07/2023
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!!
Talstar P
By Brian on 07/26/2013
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.
Talstar P
By Mark on 04/25/2013
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.

WOW
By R on 07/28/2014
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!

Outstanding!
By David on 09/29/2015
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+
Talstar Praise
By Donna on 09/22/2015
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.
Talstar P
By Don on 09/25/2016
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.

the little black ants from hell
By Richard on 09/02/2016
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.

Talstar P is a miracle spray!
By Patricia on 05/09/2011
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.

Working great
By Greg on 07/24/2012
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.

It worked!
By Debbie on 05/30/2017
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.

Great Product, Durable Packaging
By Colton on 05/11/2017
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.

Tick Invasion
By S. on 06/17/2010
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!

Carpenter Ants and other Bugs
By Tb on 05/05/2010
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.

Terriffic Results
By Ron on 07/05/2017
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.
Japanese Beetles finally under control.
By Freeman on 07/24/2020
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!
Does The Job Right
By Rob on 08/25/2023
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!
Talstar for fire ants
By Cindy on 06/11/2023
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.

Awesome stuff
By Lori on 09/13/2019
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!!
My review
By M on 06/12/2020
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
very impressed
By Ray on 07/11/2015
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
Excellent against ants
By Mariogrande2 on 10/05/2015
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.
Spiders and Mosquitoes
By Benson on 07/06/2018
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.
Ants
By Jim on 07/20/2011
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
Great product and great value!
By Chris on 08/02/2010
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.

Stink Bugs
By Dennis on 10/17/2013
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

Talstar P (Talstar One)
By Anonymous on 06/15/2013
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.

It works
By Carole on 05/31/2017
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.

Talstar P Liquid
By David on 08/21/2020
For years I have had trouble, in the August timeframe, with sod webworms destroying my lawn only to call the lawn care company to come out and treat it for five times the cost of this Talstar P liquid. With Talstar P liquid I was able to stop the sod webworms dead in their tracks before they could cause any damage. Also, the liquid was easy to apply at the correct rate with my hose end sprayer. Thanks DoMyOwn!
