Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

This is my 3rd year for using Talstar for stink bugs in Virginia. We spray the outside of the house and the window frames and we have almost zero stink bugs in the house all fall and winter. No need to spray inside. We also spray around the outside electrical boxes to keep them from frying our heat pump electrical system again. I shared it with my family in Tidewater and they were amazed at how it worked in their yard on fleas, mosquitoes, and spiders. Good stuff!

The past two years, I tried several different products from Home Depot with varying disappointing results. My brother suggested this product, Talstar P. I copied the website and thought why not. his has been an unusually we Summer in NC, ants everywhere. We came home to an infested pantry. I did my entire house as directed three weeks ago using Talstar, and have to admit the stuff works, and works well. I have not seen a single ant, bug, etc. in my house since. Best of all there was no odor. Good stuff. Highly recommend.

THIS WORKS ON STINKBUGS. We have thousands of stinkbugs on our entire house and in the attic. Talstar Pro was recommended to us by a friend. At first I didn't think it would work because it didn't kill on contact. We sprayed yesterday and this morning there are dead stinkbugs everywhere. It just takes a little time to kill them, and even killed those that came later. We ordered the product because it was advertised as environmentally safe outside and in the house. THANK YOU! I am recommending this to all my friends who have this same problem here in Maryland.

I've been using Talstar P for over 3 years, it's the best stuff I have found yet! I spray inside and around my out buildings and my house about every 3 months and it keeps my house and buildings bug free! It also takes care of the stink bug invasion every fall...sheesh they are pests! Do My Own is the cheapest place I've found this stuff and they are super fast with shipping! Been a pleased customer here for over 2 years and will remain one!

For the last two years we have been overrun with Brown Stink Bugs. It was a plague. After doing considerable online searching to find an answer to the problem I discovered Talstar P. It killed the stink bugs quickly and the residual effect continued to kill them as well as spiders and which were also a problem around our house. It also worked well on my roses for killing white flies and aphids. The stink bugs are no longer a problem. The fact that Talstar P is non-staining allowed me to apply it to the exterior of our house without worry. Talstar does what it claims.

My wife worked in Walmart years ago and became allergic to pesticides. Home pest control had to use unscented spray and apparently wasn't very strong. We had bugs indoors all season long. Tried using your spray and haven't seen a bug in the house in years. Take that back, had a couple one year but they were dead. Only spray every 6 - 8 weeks, wife can't smell it, and we don't have bugs in the house anymore. And whole lot cheaper than pest control companies!!!  I've recommended Talstar to a few people already and they were going to try it also.

Bought it after I had a serious earwig infestation erupt at my house. I carefully sprayed a very thorough and gracious amount both outside and inside my house. This stuff must have been part of the soviets private reserve because there were between 100-500 dead bugs (earwigs, spiders, beetles and roaches) on the areas I sprayed each morning for about 3 weeks. We haven't seen an earwig since. Both neighbors are still plagued by this years bugs but not my home. Yes I will be buying this again in the future!

Got a backyard 60 ft deep that goes into a creek but not before some brush. When it rains the creek runs, then stagnates and dries up. I do "my" entire creek about the time I see standing water and on the ends I blast some down the way. Using my house end I spray 1oz on the yard and 3 ft up the house. Spot spray the crevice inside, less strong of course, and dust the heck outta the attic and relatively pest year round in and out.

I have purchased talstar p before for my house and it has been great at keeping spiders,ants,and I also had a bee problem this past summer getting into the corner of my garage kept spraying this product into the area they were going and in a few days I noticed they weren't going in and out. My son bought a house that sat empty for a few months and was over come by spiders so I bought this for him to use it's a great product for the price.

I needed something to keep lady bugs and stink bugs from crawling into my attic and getting into the house during winter. Domyown recommend Talstar how and when to apply it. I've used it for 3 years and it has worked great. We've had spiders, including black widow, this year bad and it has controlled them as well. I have an 8 gallon sprayer that I pull behind my lawn mower and spray all around the house and storage building. Highly recommend Domyown for professional help determining what to use, how to use it and when to use it!

Upon receipt of the product, I mixed it according to directions and sprayed the exterior of my home. Unfortunately, the week after was exceptionally warm here in California, and ants we're looking for water anywhere they could find it. We had a number of incidences where they came into the house across the boundary that I had sprayed. I sprayed them in the house and again at ever opening I could find around the home. After the initial incidences, I have had no more problems so hopefully the product is working well.

been using this for years for mainly fleas since we had a dog in doors and now we have 4 cats in 2 areas in house and garage. This works so good we don't have to give flea medicine to cats. I spray every 2 months everywhere in and outside of house. I see roaches flipped upside all the time and I never get a flea on me. I highly recommend this for pets. Going to try it on our property in Brooksville and see if it will do the trick up there with them country roaches and whatever else is lurking around.lol

The reason I purchased this product was to stop our annual invasion of stinkbugs. They start breaching our windows in late August to over winter inside the house. Last year the numbers were horrible! We received the Talstar P very quickly about 2 weeks ago and applied it around our exterior doors, windows and foundation. I have noticed dead bugs all around outside the house with a sharp decline of bugs in general where we sprayed. Since we sprayed in advance of the stinkbugs invasion we don't know yet how effective it will be. If it works I will come back and if allowed to edit my review will add that last star.

I ordered this product for a whole house pesticide. It was received quickly, no problems with order. I have sprayed the inside house and have seen results already. this product is excellent, I will be spraying outside next. I have no doubts the product will be just as successful. thank you for this product. the ones you get in retail stores are mostly water. I don't want to spray water. thank you again and I will be a return customer. I will also spread the word about the product and your company.

This product works great! With the beginning of spring we had spiders (of all kinds) just running everywhere, and the ants were building as fast as I could pour the traditional ant killer from the bag. I sprayed the house all the way to the eves, the yard, trees as far as the sprayer would spray, my fence from top to bottom, and the inside of the house. Needless to say we saw many many DEAD spiders. For anyone that has any type of insect problems, this is your ticket to freedom!

I recently moved to a rural area right next to a forest. There were bugs all over the place, including some scary huge spiders. I did some research and decided to try Talstar P. I applied it around the perimeter of the house 2 months ago according to the directions and the video instructions on this site. We have had almost no bugs in the house since the application. I can actually see dead bugs along the areas that I sprayed. They walk a couple inches across the barrier and stop dead. Amazing stuff! I'm going to re-apply every 3 months and don't expect to ever have a bug/spider problem again.

I had tried all the commercially available pest controls with little to no results. Our problem was with the little black ants or slab ants. After any amount of rain we would see ants in the house at the doorways, by the windows and in the kitchen by the dishwasher. After using Talstar P as directed, I have not seen any ants in the house. We have had a few days of rain lately but still are ant free after three weeks from initial application. This product worked for us!

Every house I bought including my rental I use this product! In Florida bugs never die out due to winter so it can be a constant problem! After speaking to a pest control specialist he recommended this product ants, beetles, roaches, ticks, and fleas all gone! And since there is no bugs the spiders will leave too. I do recommend the Talstar P granules for a 2 foot perimeter around your house especially if you have a major ant problem. In conclusion use both all bugs and spiders are gone within no time!!!

This stuff is very effective, as I have seen thus far. I have used it to take out household pests (very few seen since I sprayed 2 weeks ago), mosquitos by spraying plants as directed, even a nest of yellow jackets. I mixed up 2 gallons 2 weeks ago, and still have not used it all up, though it has been used inside and outside of my home. I may never use all 3/4 of a gallon, so careful not to overbuy as I have done, unless friends can use it as well.

I bought a new Stihl 450 fogger to address insect problems around my house. I bought the Talstar for the chemical and have used it around my house now twice (2 week intervals) and have not noticed ONE mosquito since I started using Talstar. I also fogged a large Pecan tree next to my house where web worms had started making their webs. After I fogged the tree from the ground thouroughly, I went up on the house the next day and cut down the webs and inspected them and there were no alive catepilliars crawling around. Do I KNOW it worked for the results I achieved?? No. But, I had bad mosquitos and web worms before I used Talstar and the fogger and now I do not so, I must assume EVERYTHING worked as I wanted. I do live in dense trees and brush on an acreage so there is no lack of bugs. I also took it last weekend to Texas and fogged my girlfriends backyard where mosquitos are terrible and I'm hoping for the same results as I got here in Oklahoma.

I had not hundreds or thousands but millions of garden millipedes invading my property. Was like some kind of horror movie at night, crawling up the house, crunching under your feet when you walked. They were getting in the house under doors and any tiny crack. I thought after a month they would go away but they were getting worse. Bought Talstar and started along the stone veneer foundation wall (log home) and went out five feet into the yard all around. At dusk I watched the little beggers come out, crawl up the wall for a few minutes then fall off. At dawn none had made it to the wall as they were croaking in the yard. I went out from the house further and treated the basement also. I had lots of leaf mulch beds which they love so I cleared those out but left the wood chip beds. I am spraying those too but the millipedes are in the woods all around the house. At this point I am creating a death barrier which is working fine. Great product. It does not kill immediately but they wont get too far. I have a dog so just make sure it dries before you turn them lose outside. I bought the 3/4 gallon and have plenty left, for the money it was a good bargain.

I have been buying Talstar P from Domyown.com for a couple of years now. This product does everything I need it to. I researched different products before buying this one. I wanted to know that the insecticide I chose would be safe to use in my home as well as outside. Also that it was safe to use on my outdoor plants. Talstar P was the best choice for me. As it met my concerns, With no worries. Talstar works great. I have no pest problems at all. I have gotten my neighbors to use Talstar P and they are just as pleased with the results as I am.

I purchased this product because it was a promotion from the Clark Howard web site. My wife and I were having our annual ant invasion through-out our house. We have used many products in the past with minimal results. I applied the Talstar P Professional product as recommended and the results were almost immediate. In addition to treating the area having the most ants I also treated the outside of our house and storage shed. And like my review title says "ants no more"!

Was having a terrible problem with carpenter bees at our cabin in Tennessee. This product was recommended by a contractor working on the house up there I ordered it and sprayed the house asap. It was amazing how well it worked. Almost no bees the next day, just a few checking out the structure but none were boring holes I ordered some more for my home in Fl to help with some other pests. This is supposed to work on almost everything. Heading back to TN in a month or so to check and spray again

We were overrun with palmetto bugs (a.k.a. cockroaches). They were in the garage and then in the house. We followed your online video directions and applied Ortho Home Defense on the floors around the perimeter of the kitchen, bathrooms and in the garage where we had seen the bugs. We applied Talstar outdoors around the perimeter of the house as directed in the video. The results were immediate. We are completely pleased with your online information about how to safely use the products and the results.

Bought Talstar P to kill bag worms on my arborvitae's and blue spruce's. Although it's too late in the season to really effect the bag worms, I did a quick spray of all evergreens and the foundation of my house. In the next couple days it looked like a bug grave yard around the perimeter of my house! This stuff really does a great job. I also went back and sprayed around my window frames in hopes of killing stink bugs that nest there. In the spring I will spray all my evergreens again when the bag worms start hatching.

I love this stuff! Spraying a few time each year inside and out keeps the bugs out of and away from the house. We live in the county. Plenty of bugs out here! I spray under eaves , around the windows/doors and on the ground at the foundation. No more Wasp nests or Spider webs, no invasion of Japanese Beetles or Stinkbugs like we've had in the past. No bugs in the house at all! It's wonderful. All that and a great price! If you divide out the cost per application, it's only a buck or two! Shoot, that's darn near FREE in today's world! Good stuff!

We ordered the product for fire ant control, sprayed the perimeter of the house to stop fire ants from coming in with great results. Problem was once the perimeter was sprayed the ants could not get past it to get out of the house and they started showing up inside. Sprayed the nooks and crannys inside and problem seems solved so far. Very happy with results and will reorder again because the delivery came about 3 days after ordering. Thank you "Do My Own Pest Control".

I ordered this product after becoming disillusioned with my local pest control service. The "professionals" were charging me $75 every three months. I spent less than that on the Talstar P and a nice backpack sprayer and have enough product to treat my property for over a year. Plus I can use the sprayer for other applications around the house. Two days after applying the Talstar P I had more dead bugs around the perimeter of my house than I have ever seen! The product cost per application is less than five dollars and took me twenty minutes... it only makes sense to DoMyOwnPestControl!

I used Talstar (Bifenthrin) as a licensed applicator. It is the Industry Standard here in Florida. Great for all insect pests in the garden and lawn. I create a barrier around the home, maybe three feet into the mulch beds and up the foundation and around window casings and eaves. Just be responsible and avoid standing under the mist (eaves for wasps, etc.) and use low pump pressure so that you aren't creating a fogging effect that you can walk into. I don't spray flowering plants (read the label).
