I've been using this product for a few years now and it has been doing an excellent job around my property and houses.

I have been using this product for the past two years after seeing that the "commercial pest control companies" were using this on my lawn to combat all of the pests, bugs flies, insects and what ever was flying. They were charging me $65.00 every other month and I could buy the smaller quantity for half that. I have now decided to purchase the larger size and use it for ll the insects on my lawn. It works great and cuts down on the infestation within days. I also treat my flower beds to keep the plant eating insects off the flowers and it works great. My turf never look better and I am no longer attached to a pest control company. What I have saved in the past year has more than paid for the supplies and fertilizers I purchased form DoMyOwnPestControl. If you have a question they answer within a reasonable time and shipping is free.....GREAT COMPANY

Talstar is a great product!! I have two houses and use it on both. One application and the ants are gone. I highly recommend it.

We haven't experienced the onslaught of last year yet due to the ultra high temps, so I can't make a fair assessment of this product. I'll let you know. I can only say that I have researched this product extensively prior to purchase and everything indicates this is at least ONE of the best chemicals on the market for these nusiance pests. I work at Home Depot part time and haven't seen any other product that come close. Until GOD comes up with a better plan I'll use the Talstar P... thanx! Rick

I have a major fungus gnat infestation on my 50+ houseplants. I had previously used soaps and regular pyrethrin, as well as sticky traps and nematodes in the soil. Unfortunately most treatments for the larvae were applied via saturating the soil, which was an ideal environment for the gnats. My infestation was slowly increasing so I upped the attack. I repotted all the plants with promix, top dressed with coarse sand to deter the adults from laying in the moist soil. I saturated the promix with Gnatrol (BT) for the larvae, Added more sticky traps, and sprayed Talstar to kill the remaining adults. With the multiple methods used it's hard to say what is working, but I have a 90% reduction in adult gnats on the traps and in the air. 2 of my 5 diffenbachias and one peace lilly have wilted a bit, but that could be attributed to the stress of repotting and possibly the BT. All the other plants are doing well.

This is an excellent product. This stuff works fast and it works well. Once there's a break in the rain and thing dry up a little, I plan to do some heavy yard work, paying close attention around the foundation before I re-apply the pesticide barrier around my home. Adding this to my layered defense should keep pests at bay for months. A little goes a long way, so it's definitely worth the money. It hits hard so any additional applications should be to kill any stragglers and as a preventive measure.

I bought a gallon of the Talstar P and have used it with the Mosquito Sniper system attached to my leaf blower and 4 gallon back pack sprayer. My neighborhood has been having major issues with Stink Bugs showing up in the houses. I sprayed around the garage doors and perimeter of the house especially around our kitchen vents. Now that it's warming up again they are on the move, but now every time I open my garage doors and look around within 2 feet of my doors there are 5-10 new dead Stink Bugs and curled up dead spiders that tried to squeeze past the Talstar P. It's amazing how well it's working everywhere around the house where I sprayed and bugs are trying to get in there are just piles of dead bugs I have to use my blower to get rid of. Highly reccomend this product, haven't seen many mosquitoes or ticks on my property yet either. Neighbors are getting them but not me or my kids in my yard.

I live in Minnesota, and this summer has been the worst! We have had lots of rain and hot weather making it ideal for mosquitoes. We have a back yard pool that we could not even get close to. The bugs would just drive you back into the house. We used every kind of sprinkle and hose spray that we could get at the local farm supply. I found out about Talstar from a groundskeeper in my area. I mixed it in my sprayer and sprayed the entire three aches of my yard. Within one day we could sit outside and enjoy our home in the country. It has been working for three weeks and I have not had to reapply. Don’t let the price drive you away. It takes very little to cover a lot of area. Best thing I have found to use for mosquito control.

So happy to say this insecticide WORKS !! I had an infestation in certain areas of my house and after one application of Talstar in the areas, pest-free. Just have to keep areas clean. Thank You for your product. Also, the shipping was very quick. I will definitely buy from this company again.

This is an excellent product. It kills all insects and if I ever see one.....it is dead. I first started using this product for control of Roaches on the porches and in my well house, and storage buildings outside. My son-in-law borrowed some one day to treat ant beds. Now he is regularly using this product.

I sprayed outside around the house and inside my garage twice in 2 weeks. I don't see any spriders anymore, and a lot of flies died everyday by the windows. I'm every happy with the product and referred to all my friends.

I usually call an exterminator who charges us between $150 and $200 to spray our house and detached garage for stink bugs. Talstar doesn't kill them on contact but next day. They were dead and seen less . I treated weekly x 2 . You need a sprayer and follow directions.

We bought this for my daughters apartment. She had bed bugs and ants and the apartment exterminator couldn't get rid of them. Well no more bugs after 2 treatments 2 weeks apart NOT A BUG IN SIGHT OF ANY KIND!!! I decided to use some around our house for ants and they were all dead in 24 hours!

I was first exposed to using a product similar to this product because of ingredients. I haven't yet actually used this product due to time of year. It will get used next spring on the lawn. However using another product with same main ingredient, I sprayed around the house because of stink bugs. It made an overwhelming difference. Definitely recommend.

Spayed flower beds and around the house and some grassy areas the day before it rained and it really worked as we had a severe mosquitoe problem . I have not found any even the day it rained and now it is over a week and still no irritating mosquitoes so I will keep this product around to use whenever they invade our property.

Easy to research what nuisances it will kill, easy to order, quick delivery and easy to use. What more could you ask for. Sprayed it around my outdoor patio to control midges and in one day they were gone. Now I can use the rest of the bottle to spray around the house for other bugs.

I have used this product before and really thought it was very effective in ridding my house hold of Red Wasp's. I also found it worked great on Ant Mounds. I will continue to use of this product for as long as possible. I do recommend it to all of our friends.

I buy Talstar for one reason. To help control mosquitoes so we can enjoy our yard on the lake in Minnesota. We have had a very wet year and if you walk where I have not sprayed you get eaten alive. It also works great for other pest around the house. Particularly spiders which are plentiful around a lake home.

Have only used this product once. The day after the first application, there were no mosquitoes buzzing us on our patio. Two weeks later, no cobwebs or bugs on the patio, only a few mosquitoes. Once the the rain stops this week I'll apply the Talstar again. This house is on a lake.

I am a professional exterminator with 24 years of experience. This is my go to product for most applications. Great results for spider control. Does not stain anything that water does not stain. No odor. Does not smell up the house for hours. However, bedbugs laugh at it.

Thank you for your honest review! While most insects are controlled with Talstar, we agree Bedbugs do take a complete control program, not just a single insecticide.

This is the second purchase of this insecticide. It has performed extremely well, with my using it both inside and outside the house. Despite being so effective, it has no scent at all, a big factor. With 1 oz/gallon, you can not beat the priced! I heartily recommend it.

First application about two weeks ago. Outside perimeter of the house only. Significantly fewer bugs inside and out. No new spider webs in the usual places. No more ants. We stopped our expensive service to see what would happen (How bad could it be? It's just bugs...). The bugs took over! Now they are under control again. Easy to use and effective product.

I NEVER see roaches(my hugest fear!) or silverfish or ear weasels (or whatever they're called) or beetles in the house. I see very few tiny spiders, & mosquitoes are not really biting! (& I live in a mosquito infested area). No odor, SO much less expensive than the THE least expensive pest control company in my area. Recommend!

I've been using Talstar P for years now. I use it about every 2 to 2.5 months and I have no centipedes, ants, spiders or any other crawly things in my house. It is safe around pets once it's dry so my dogs have not been affected negatively at all. This is a great product! ?? ????????

We have a large population of Katydid's on and around our home. My husband sprayed 2 feet up the brick and 3 feet from the house. It worked great and is still working a month later. I would reccomend this product.

I had an issue with white footed ants (small black ants). They came in marching order and walked up the outside of the house, nothing I used worked....UNTIL I USED TALSTAR... The first application and they were gone... It was amazing!

I had flying ants and I called 3 pest control companies and they all wanted contracts and all of them was $500 year. So I asked what they used and this is it, Talstar one for only $28 its enough to treat my house for 2 years if I spray 1 time a month.

Purchased this and a barebones pump from this site and delivery was very fast. Followed instructions and was ready to spray in about 15 minutes. Sprayed inside and outside of the house and I am not seeing any roaches for the last 2 weeks, except for a few dead ones the first week.
