Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

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...

Excellent mosquito control and ticks, being using this product for the last two years and I am amazed how well this work to control mosquitoes and ticks, I live on a wood wet lands in Massachusetts and if I don't treat our land, we are not able to get out of the house after 5:30 pm and before working on the yard always we had to removed few ticks not anymore, and we only do one application with a comercial Stihl sprayer and work for the whole spring, summer and fall, excellent product.

I bought this stuff because of the reviews & it's absolutely fantastic!! I sprayed this around the property & around the house & door entrances. Totally has kept all flies away! I couldn't believe it! I was skeptical but, this stuff absolutely works! No flies at all. I'll be using this for mosquitoes when they arrive. I recommend this to the disbelievers ! Use it ! You won't be disappointed. I'll be ordering 4 more gallons. Plus, the shipping was incredibly fast! I think I got this in 2 days after the purchase.

We have a newly built home in a very new and currently growing area of formerly wooded hunting property. Southeast Alabama has numerous insects and this product works great for controlling most of them. The earwig is the one insect that seems to be tougher than the rest as we still find a few of them still crawling through the house periodically. But everything else is found upside down or in the process of becoming that way! This product works great and we are happy that we decided to purchase it.

This liquid that is mixed with water is better than anything that is available at any garden supply stores, or Lowes or Walmart etc. I have seen it get rid of ants around the house and "out building" and other small pests like fleas, mosquitos and roaches etc. Spray an ant hill rightly in the yard and they won't come back a few feet from there, they will be gone...until the next queen sets up "shop" again...I've even sprayed it in the attic and over the winter I've seen maybe a couple of small crawlers but virtually nothing compared with what I used to see...

I bought this to eliminate black widows and other spiders in my garage in Raleigh, NC. I have since used it all around the house, crawl space, ornamental trees, kids' playset, etc. It has apparently eliminated all spiders and other bugs from the garage, and I was able to vacuum up the debri in there and it is so nice. It is also a great bargain, since this 3/4 gallon makes YEARS of effective relief for my single-family home. I have since given some ounces to my mother-in-law and co-workers to help them at their home. Would buy again for sure.

I use this inside and out. I used to pay 60 dollars per quarter to have house sprayed and still had spiders and ants. I think they fed them. Since I've been using Talstar only do it twice a year and nothing that crawls lives. For example, my wife's rose bushes got attacked by Japanese Beatles.  I sprayed and right away they started to move and fall off DEAD. I'm telling you buy this product. 5 of my friends have purchased since and they have thanked me. Try it you'll see.

This site is awesome and this bug spray is awesome. Don't be put off by the high price (compared to regular , 'home depot', bug spray). 3/4 gal of Talstar makes 96 gallons of bug spray!!!! I sprayed this on the exterior of my house and interior. On the exterior I also sprayed my flower beds really well. It has been a cockroach grave yard out there ever since! I haven't seen a live roach inside or outside since I sprayed this stuff 2 weeks ago.

As usual, I received the shipment of Talstar P lickety split, that's southern for very quickly, and in good condition. Due to weather conditions (exceptionally high temps over 100+ and dryness), I have not been able to use the Talstar P yet. Although it seems to be great for most insects, I specifically purchased it to erradicate a major problem with red spider mites on our roses. I was very disappointed to see that only a few days later, the price for a gallon of Talstar P was $6.00 LESS than what I had paid. Guess I should have waited a little longer before buying it....

Having problems for years with different types of bugs,spray Talstar P 1 oz per gallon inside around base boards and window frames about 2 weeks ago, of course some of the bugs that were hiding came out into the house. The only ones that it looks like I am going to have to respray for are sringtail they are the ones that no other product has touch. The Talstar P has kill a lot of them just going to have to hit it again. Great product if you have had no help for the stuff you get from places like Lowes, Home Depot, ect.

Yes, I am disappointed, after reading all the good reviews for this item, I thought that I found the perfect insecticide to get rid of the mosquitoes around my house . so I sprayed very carefully all my yard (9000 sf) with 14 gal of mixture ( 2oz per gallon) and hoped that it will last at least a month ( reading the reviews it should have last 3 months). we had less mosquitoes for 1 week and afterward the infestation was back to normal, impossible to be outside anytime of the day, it is true that it is the rainy season, maybe it is why ?? we will see in the dry season if it works !

I bought this product to kill the ever growing population of stink bugs-ugh. I only sprayed the outside bushes by my front door and bay window, as well as the back yard against the house and door. I have not seen one single stink bug (alive) since. I did see a yellow jacket go into the bushes that I sprayed, but he disappeared, never to be seen again. I need to spray the basement for spiders next. In the summer I intend to use it on the carpenter bees. If it is as effective on the spiders as it was on the resilient stink bugs I will be ecstatic.

I fired my pest control company and used this inside my home and overnight I say dead pests all over the place. What was the pest control technician using? water? Anyway, I also sprayed around the foundation of my home and saw spiders running like crazy. It looked like the grass was crawling! The next day, dead spiders around the house. The next week, no more spiders! I bought this because of the spider problem and after killing a brown recluse hanging on the foundation! This stuff rocks!

We had a problem with a LOT of bees around the carport and also wanted to insure against termites as we had just purchased an older home surrounded by woods and had no idea about past treatments (though we suspect there had been none for at least a few years). Its been about a month and we can say with absolute certainty, his stuff is amazing! No more bees!! And since trenching and treating around the house, not so much as a spider seen upstairs or in the basement! Definitely recommend!!

After reading a number of reviews on line, we bought this product. We originally hired a professional group to help with what we were told was a German roach issue. They were BEYOND useless! We have used this project three times, both inside and outside the house. The ones we don't find dead seem to be scared into glue traps. We have nasty neighbors and a lot of new construction around us with is likely contributing to the problem. However this product seems to be working!

This product was purchased in a 1 Gallon size container. I have used it several times for myself and neighbors. My neighbors and myself are very happy with this product. This stuff kills black widow spiders too, along with many other critters that find their way into and around your house. I am amazed at just how well this stuff works. I don't do reviews but this stuff is effective and definitely does the job. I am a DIYer. I definitely recommend this product.

I honestly dont know what I would have done without this stuff! Nobody wanted to get out of their cars at the house bc of the teradactyl size mosquitos that swarmed you when you drove into the driveway anticipating your exit from the car... it was a game to see if you could get inside before their crew descended on you before you made it through the door! This stuff along with the other stuff we got from here has dramatically decreased the size and the population... I will be buying more!

I sprayed talstar p on my yard around my house out of a 45 gal sprayer from my utv. Before I sprayed we would have ticks on us every time we went outside (we live out in the country in a rural area). Once I sprayed we have had no ticks and I also noticed ant hills that had been abandoned. I have recommended this product to people that I work with. The only pest I still have in my yard are gnats but they are not as bad as they were before I sprayed

Wow ~ that's what I have for this product! We live in wet lands and of course our state bird is the mosquito! LOL! Followed the directions, suited up, put gloves on and did the perimeter of our house ~ the eaves, soffit system, around the windows/doors and the foundation. What I really loved as a full time gardener (it's my job) is that I got to choose where to apply it and made sure to keep it out of all of the beds where I needed pollinator's as well as predatory insects! I applied on July 3 of 2022, it's the middle of August now and we can still be out in the backyard! For us . . . that's wonderful. I highly recommend it! I used a backpack sprayer and got the whole yard done in about and hour, hour and a half. For the money you can't beat it. One application has lasted this long and I still have enough left to do one more application. If you pay professional sprayers to come to your house, first ~ you really don't have a choice of where they'll spray and the monthly cost is way to expensive. A big thumbs up . . . the end.

We live in the high desert of Northern AZ where there are scorpions, millipedes and lots of other nasty insects. Within a matter of weeks after moving into our new house the scorpions started showing up inside the house. We have several dogs and cats and I was concerned for their safety as well as our own. A friend recommended a professional pest control company and things improved dramatically after the first treatment. We signed up for regular treatment which was every 3 months. Unfortunately, it was to their schedule which seemed to constantly change and it became extremely inconvenient for us. They would even want to spray while it was raining. The last time the pest control guy was here my husband asked what they used and the guy was more than willing to tell him that it was Talstar P. After my husband told me the name I Googled it and found DoMyOwnPestControl. We then decided to do our own pest control and not be at the mercy of someone elses schedule. It's very easy, effective and, needless to say, costs a LOT less money - one quart lasted us almost two years and cost about the same as one of the pest control company's visits. More importantly we spray at the optimum time and under the best weather conditions.

I applied this with the Chaplin Pro model hose end sprayer. My lawn is about 34,000 sq feet in size. The Sod Web worm moths were bombing the jaws with eggs. It took several hours to spray the entire yard, but a lot of turf damage has been averted compared to last year. I will need to reapply this at least once more in the next month.

I cannot say how effective this product is for keeping insects away from our home. I have used this specific problem areas like under our deck where wasps used to form their nests, and by our back door where we used to have an ant infestation every summer. Since purchasing Talstar P over a year ago, I have never seen one insect in my home. I spray throughly, inside and outside, about twice per year, and quarterly, I only have to do a quick spray by the perimeter of the house inside, windows, and by the doorways. My friends are always amazed that we never have ants or wasps in my house, as these critters are unwanted guests, annually, in our area. I can also report seeing less mosquitos, now that I've been treating our backyard before the season begins. Several of our neighbors now use domyownpestcontrol.com to purchase Talstar P. It saves a fortune compared to hiring an exterminator. In addition, I always feel I do a more thorough treatment than the professionals, because I know the problem areas. I can't say enough great things about this product. I highly recommend it for anyone who have problems with the insects this product is intended for. Thanks

We moved into a new house this past spring. It is located out in the woods and the Mosquitoes are unbelievable. It can be a speedy 15 mph wind and or cooler temps and they will attack you. Even during the day they are on the prowl. Now the weather has become nice and we want to go spend more time outside, we are driven back inside due to the Mosquitoes. This forced me to do some research and that is how I came across this company. I read up on some chemicals as well as read the testimonials and made up my mind to make a call and talk to a sales person. After talking to her, she made it easy and assured me that this spray will be the best for my needs. I placed the order and a few days later it arrived. I put about 5 oz. in the purchased sprayer and went to it. I sprayed everything in site. The next day my wife and I noticed they were not attacking us as they had been. A few days later we were outside in the evening with no wind and there was an occasional mosquito but nothing like what we had prior to using this chemical. I have told everyone I know about this and will be using this product every three to four weeks. Thank you for helping us to get out of our house and back in the outdoors. Rick T.

I bought this product because I had an infestation on my Meyer Lemon tree of Sri Lanka Weevils. I went to UFL's website, the authority on agriculture, and they recommended Talstar P for major infestations without any promises of results since not much research has been done on these new invasive pest. So I tried it out and I'm happy with the results. The weevils didn't drop dead on contact but by the next day they were all gone from the tree. We have had a couple good thunderstorms and the Talstar is still holding up on my tree. Not a single weevil in the last 3 weeks. New leaves are coming in, no new notching, and no weevils. I also tried it on some wasps nest with the same results. They don't drop dead on contact, it takes a few minutes, but they haven't come back to reoccupy their nest 3 weeks later. Also sprayed on the outside and inside of my house to keep out the ants. Since then most of the ants that make it in my house are dead along the baseboards and the few that are alive won't be for long.

I performed the initial spraying of my home shortly after receiving this product. Easy easy to measure and pour using the bottle it comes in. It does not have a noticeable odor when mixed or when it is sprayed. The MOST important aspect of this product is that it works. I live in South Florida and I am always finding bugs that crawl into the house either under the doors or through open windows. I was constantly finding grub worms all around my house. I initially used a local service to spray my home every 3-4 months and for the most part it kept my home free of insects but did not want to continue the service for what i was paying. I looked around and did some research and found very good reviews for Talstar P so I decided to give it a try. i am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their home free of insects. Since completing my initial treatment, I have not seem one bug or insect in my home. Thanks Talstar P!!!

I live in Dorchester County, Maryland. If you're not familiar with that area, I'm just miles from Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge which is basically a large swamp. Mosquitos can be HORRIBLE. There have been times where just running out to throw something in the trash can result in getting swarmed, literally SWARMED with mosquitoes of 30+. I have 3 acres which is mostly grass, but I'm surrounded by woods/swamps. There are over 300 acres of flooded woodland and swamp around me so I had severe doubts that spraying for mosquitos in just my little section would do anything at all. The reviews I saw here were promising and I figured even if it didn't help with mosquitos, it could still be good for other creepy crawlies getting into my house. I mixed 4 ounces of Talstar P into my 4 gallon backpack sprayer and got started. I sprayed all around my house, patio area, all bushes and low hanging trees and even on grass areas around my immediate home. The following afternoon I walked outside with no bug spray and waited. And waited. And waited. I saw MAYBE two mosquitos. I couldn't believe it. It's been 1 week no and still, it's difficult to find a mosquito! I don't know how long this will last for, but I'm impressed and plan to spray again in a few weeks to keep this up.

I've used big box store hose end sprayer products to control mosquitos for summer time backyard parties and events for years. So so effective at best. Only good thing is the smell makes you think they work. Telstar P is awesome and really works to seriously control mosquitos. It doesn't take much product either, just follow the directions. I will reapply about every 3 weeks and expand the coverage area slightly each application. I am very happy with Telstar and will definitely purchase again. I use DoMyOwn for many products. What a fantastic business concept and top notch staff.

All summer long I have done battle with chinch bugs in my lawn. Frequent trips to Home Depot to purchase the latest consumer products from Ortho and Bayer proved to be a waste of time. I had a terrible infestation and the consumer-grade permethrin, imidacloprid, and B-Cyfluthrin had no effect - I could still spot the bugs. But when I tried the Talstar One at a rate of 1 oz per 10 gallons in my hose end sprayer (1 oz per 1,000 sq ft) the bugs were eradicated. I didn't even have to make a second application. The easy-measure bottle simplified mixing and the product works wonders.
