Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

The endless rain over the summer in the mid Atlantic left my dogs in agony - worst infestatiion of fleas ever. I chose Talstar P, noting that some reviewers found it helpful with stink bugs too. Not only has it cleared up these problems for me, but spiders and wasps too! It was tricky to treat the dogs' areas because shady spaces just wouldn't dry, but I moved many around to areas that had been treated and dried. Then I closed off the shady damp spaces and treated them. Others had their houses treated, dried & replaced, with ground outside of their areas treated. They also all got a spot on treatment. It's worked very well! A side benefit was eliminating the spiders that dwell under & inside of their wooden houses. Was shocked to see that black widows like to hide underneath! I sprayed the exterior of my home as well, in anticipation of stink bug season. For the next few days, drunken looking brown recluse spiders began revealing themselves. Ack! I no longer had white faced hornets and wasps buzzing my porches. When the stink bugs began arriving, few were finding their way into the house. Most that did died quietly on their own. They used to cover my porches, too numerous to count. Very few are visiting now. I didn't think there was any solution for stink bug infestations, so am thrilled to have found DoMyOwn & Talstar P - thank you!!!!

I used both the mound drenching (with a 2 gal. tank sprayer) followed up with a hose sprayer treatment of the yard. I had a driveway infestation you would not believe and ants under the slab of a 12' x 22' shed. It has only been several weeks since treatment, but so far, so good!  A lot cheaper than having it done. Last year, I had the shed "treated" for $125.00! I did this and the entire house and yard and still have more then 1/2 gal. of Talstar One left. I thought, for the price, it was worth a try. At this point, I am happy with the result. I live in central FL, ants love this place!

Our AC went out and apparently the week I had the windows open was the week every stink bug in the world decided to hide in my house. I sprayed all the baseboards and window seals with this stuff once. No more stink bugs! They didn't die instantly but it did kill them. Works great on the lady bug looking things also!

This stuff really works. I had some armyworms in the lawn, I sprayed and it didn't take a day and they were gone. Had some ants coming into the house, sprayed and they were gone. This is my go-to insecticide.

Best stuff I've ever used. I used it to spray my whole foundation and possible entry points 4 times in 2022. No bugs in the house at all. Very satisfied. I have vinyl siding and it did not stain at all

I purchased this product instead of the Cy-kick I had purchased before. I don't feel this product does anything close to getting rid of pests. I've had more bugs on the porch since mixing and spraying the house and porch area.

Literally went from an unusable yard to nearly mosquito-free at our house in the woods. I don't really like the fact that I wiped out countless other bystander insects in the process but until there is something that targets mosquitoes specifically this is your best bet.

This Talstar P is a great overall product for insect and mosquito control. Follow the directions for inside / outside use and it can be your go-to chemical when treating for a whole range of insects. I just using a regular pump-up sprayer to treat the bush's/yard for mosquitos and then adjust the spray nozzle for doing the perimeter of the house.

This is the third year we've used Talstar, and it works very well. Unfortunately, it can no longer be delivered to New York State unless you have a license, so we had it delivered to relatives in another state. We are very cautious when using it, and we spray the entire outside of the house and shed. Good stuff.

Since using Talstar I have seen zero ticks, beetles, ants, spiders, and mosquitoes around the house and contiguous buildings. No negative effects on my dog (she doesn't eat grass) also. Biodegradable, effective insect reduction. Spray when flowers are closed and minimal effects on nectar gathering insects.

We have been using Talstar for a few years now. It works really well for stink bugs as well as other crawly critters outside. My son sprays all around the house foundation & windows/doors . It hasn't harmed any shrubbery; the effect is residual.

We used to have a company come and spend 5 minutes walking perimeter of house and used this product and charged almost 100.00 quarterly, guess what. I can do it and much cheaper. Thanks for having some great products that really work.

This does a good job on a broad spectrum of bugs. I doused the whole house and it took care of ants, spiders, and millipedes. I was also hoping it would take care of springtails but it didn't do so well with those. If you happen to spray your windows when going around the frame, it will leave a streaky mess.

My husband mixed half the bottle per the instructions. Sprayed the perimeter of the house, sprayed our bathroom, attic and roof! Cannot get rid of these damn springtails!!!! Was so hopeful when we bought the, but so far it's not doing anything. :( I've had pest control companies here and paid extra for their power spray....they just keep coming!

I have purchased Talstar from DoMyOwnPestControl.com for the last 5 or 6 years. It's always great and keeps the bugs out of my house. Just spray every 3 months or so depending on rain (that's what they advised me to do -- great advice from their customer service staff and so friendly) and I never have bug issues.

  Expert response:
Thanks for being such a loyal customer! We appreciate your business!

We live in a rural area with a lot of lowland. The mosquitos were so bad we had to run from the house to the car. One application of Talstar P and no more mosquitos!! It's been on for a week so I can't say how long it will last.

It saved me a lot of money then buying products at home improvement stores that don't work! I always recommend this product to my friends like I'm selling it. I sprayed my house inside and out once and been troubled free with no insects for three months plus, even in the winter!

I am currently giving this product a try. First application was two weeks ago and I haven't seen a single ant or spider in my house. So far so good. Will keep the review updated if anything changes. Two ounces of this product covers ALLOT!

First off, domyownpestcontrol shipping was fast and well packaged. I mixed up some Talstar and the spiders could not run away fast enough from my barn and house. Haven't seen any since. There is enough in the container to last a long while and I am not paying 300 to an exterminator. Great site and great product.

This product is awesome. Our son introduced us to it. We are amazed at how well it works. My brother is now using it. We recently moved to the lake and had lots of spider webs around our house--needless to say they are now gone.

We have used this stuff for three years now and it works well. It gets rid of all the ants as well! We use it mainly for fleas and ticks. We have a cat and dog. It also works wonders on any inside pest...cause once you spray the outside of the house you don't have any.

Sprayed 2' up, 2' out around the exterior of our house and the critters are done. The palmetto roaches make it about 8" past the barrier to our screened patio and end up on their back. Also knocked back the mosquitos greatly by spraying broad leaved foliage, low shrubs and damp areas. Highly recommended.

This stuff works great! In New Mexico, we get cockroaches from April to October. This stuff sends them to your neighbor's house. If it works for the indestructible cockroach, it will probably work for anything. I no longer pay the bug guy $50 per visit.

This stuff works great. I bought it mainly for cockroaches, but I think it works on almost all bugs. I give a double dose around the outside of the house, once a month, from April thru October. I spray inside once a year. Very effective bug juice.

We live in Florida and with little to no cold weather we get alot of fleas. Our Doberman likes to lay in the backyard grass. She would have 4 to 5 fleas on her everytime she came in the house,even with flea prevention. I sprayed once with Talstar, and no fleas! I love this product.

This neighborhood was having problems with mainly waterbugs since all the rain we've had and I was going to order for myself, I ordered 4 gallons for the neighbors. No one has seen waterbugs in their house since we sprayed. We also see other pests laying outside with their feet up. That makes the women happy.

This product is real good on insects in and around the house, it is real good on fire ants, been the best product that I've used on fire ants, used other fire ant poisons they just moved mound two feet up started again.

Well, pretty much. Still see some tiny ones 3 weeks in. Adults pretty much killed. You spray it outside the house (trailer). It would be better if the trailer didn't have a skirt so it could be sprayed on the bottom. Also would be better if it didn't rain every day in Florida.
