Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

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.

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!

I used this product in a hose end sprayer set to 1 ounce. It seemed to do a great job for the first 2 days after the application, but i still have what i was told to be "spring flies" (so i was told by someone who works for a pest control company) in my grass. I still have some left and i am going to try a second application and see how that goes.

Bought both products after several years of buying normal hose end sprayer products from big box stores which did very little to control mosquitoes for more than a couple of days. After one application of each product, yard with a great deal of plantings in south Texas is still mosquito as well as fly free. Even though products are a bit pricey, their performance actually makes them more economical. I was spending $7/week for very little control.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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'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!!
