Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

Used it on my grass and bushes first to control the mosquitoes and gnats. A week later, I was in my yard and not bothered by any insects. However, I began to notice a lot of mosquitoes clinging to the siding on the front of my house. I sprayed the siding around the windows and door. No more mosquitoes! This product works great!

Thought it's stronger but it's not. I live by a lake and lots of bugs around the house most of the time. I've been using some other "cheaper" products and they were good for two/three days then I see the bugs back again. Almost same thing with this product. Need something lasts longer..

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.

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.

I ordered Talstar One last summer to treat for stink bugs. I began treating when the weather started to cool off and the stink bugs started looking for shelter. I was pleasantly surprised when spring came and I found only three stink bugs (instead of the hundreds I usually find) inside the house, and those three may have come in from outside! Definitely worthwhile!

Great for killing those pesky tiny little ants that you can't seem to keep out of your house or worse the kitchen. This spray stops them cold. Last year I sprayed 2x early & late last summer. The products that I had bought at Walmart don't seem to work even for a day, this product does.

I've been using this brand for a few years now to treat my own house. If you spray every 3-6 months, it works great. I have no spiders/webs anywhere. This size/price seems to be a great deal and you can't beat the prices here with free shipping.

I love this stuff. Since I've been using it there have been no ants or spiders in my house, and for living in Florida that is amazing. Getting ready to see how it works for scale on one of my palms. So glad this product was recommended to me.

Residential application: Treated soffits, exterior around doors and windows...Gone a week and returned to a house that didn't look like a Halloween scene and the wasps are gone as well....Treated neighbors to an ounce each and they have had the same results...I know there are now 4 more customers that will use this regularly...

I live in Eau Claire, WI and during the summer we have really bad mosquitos because of the woods behind our house. I spryed the entire yard and I can see an improvement but when I grill ... Boy ... Nothing helps- mosquitos will eat you alive. Maybe you can recommend something in addition? Otherwise this product works! I would recommend it! Thanks

I live in the deep south so we have lots of pest around. I use Talstar P monthly to spray around the exterior and interior of our house. We have zero problems with bugs. If we find any they are dead already.

Product works as advertised. I sprayed indoors and in the garage as directed. The first few days we found dead roaches in the morning, but not seeing anymore. I've sprayed around the house, doors and windows to create a barrier and keep the bugs out. I was considering hiring an exterminator, no need anymore.

No one wants to talk about a problem in their house, but let's admit it there are things that happen beyound your control. The product I purchase was better then I thought. I now am a loyal customer. Thank You so much......

We were paying a bug spray company $145 a/month and were still seeing spiders. Our joke was $145 to give our spiders a bath. We bought this product and my husband got geared up and sprayed the house and yard himself. We were extremely happy with the results.

We ordered this product cause we have a lot of ticks around our house and carport this year. After we applied this we have seen only a very few ticks trying to crawl around and the rest are dead. Would recommend this product!

First of all… thank you Domyown for providing us with a great sale on this product! I’ve had my patience overwhelmed with a horde of millipedes taking over my pool, exterior of the house and occasionally inside as well. Tho I know Talstar is not a contact killer but it appears to have, so far, suppressed the onslaught.

I started using this for mosquitoes and Holy cow I had superior results. Now it's my go to for spraying houses and lawns. The price is right and I think it's better then tempo and suspend.

Worked great inside and outside the house. Killed insects on contact. My biggest concern was mosquitoes. Talstar P decimated the mosquitoe population around my house and kept the mosquitoes away from the yard back and front and side. Bonus all the other insects like spiders, moths etc all disappeared too. As other reviewers have stated that depending how much it rains and temprature variations the outside has to be treated monthly in my case, I live in Houston TX. Please dont use it against me ;) I love the place been here more than 20 years. Now its even better with all the pesky insects eliminated. I followed instructions from the manufacturer and also used some advice from reviewers of this product like using dish washing liquid. I am very happy with my purchase and am saving $300 annually by doing my own pest control.

Las Vegas has many areas of town with bark scorpion problems. I have used Talstar P for the last five years. (The 3/4 gallon jug is the best price per ounce). I used to get five or six scorpions in the house over the course of a year. Now, I average maybe 0 -1, and the one that gets in is dead or almost dead. I spray (1 oz per gallon of water) twice a month outside and once inside. (It is labeled safe for indoor use for crack/crevices but I tend to push that a little and do a light spray around entry areas to the house.) Not only will this kill scorpions but it takes out the smaller bugs that are the scorpion's food source.

Deal with hobo spiders, wolf spiders and western conifer seed bugs this time of year (Aug-Sept). When I say deal with I mean a lot, spiders in your shoes if you leave them on porch and seed bugs all over the outside of house. Bought Talstar because it said it lasted months with one spray and was safe around pets and kids. Sprayed outside of house and garage and 10-15ft out around foundation. After a few days there was dead bugs and spiders everywhere. Does take a few days to kill spiders but after a day they don't move then die a few days later. Very pleased with this product and DMOPC.

Stuff works great! I live in the mountains of Southern California. We had a very wet year ending a 6 yr drought. My lake filled up and every creek is running. Because of the heavy rains the mosquitoes were the worst I've experienced in 10 yrs. It was almost impossible to go out side in late afternoon and evenings. You were attacked by swarms of mosquitoes and every time you opened the door several would enter. They would keep you awake at night buzzing around your face and ears. I applied Talstar with my foggier all around the house and foliage surrounding the house. That was two weeks ago and I swear the mosquito infestation is down by at least 95% maybe more. One nice thing is a gallon goes a long way. I'd recommend Talstar to anyone with a big property.

I originally purchased a small container to use in pest control around the house. I've since expanded to treating the yard around the house. Talstar P does unbelievably well taking care of ants. We used to have those very small ants that show up in kitchens but no more. We don't have fire ants so I can't say how it does with them but the typical ant cannot handle it. I treat from the foundation out 50 or more feet and within the treated area there are no ants. They will have nest just outside that perimeter but won't cross the line. I've also found that it removes the grubs from the treated area as well. I appreciate the concentration of the product so I can use it without breaking the bank on cost like so many other products. You can't go wrong treating with Talstar for controlling pesky bugs.

Before Talstar I didn't use any mosquito control products. We live on a 20 acre wooded lot with 3 swamps/ponds and a nearby lake. Our car would attract so many mosquitoes just driving down our 1/4 mile driveway we couldn't even pull in the garage or too many mosquitoes would get in the house. Our kids would come inside after a short time swollen with bug bites. We simply couldn't enjoy our summer outdoors. I used a 26 gallon ATV sprayer to spray Talstar P (mixed with NyGuard IGR) and 3 1/2 weeks later my family is still enjoying the great outdoors! Friends and family who come over to our house notice the immediate difference in the lack of mosquitoes and will soon be Talstar customers themselves!

After the death of my dad we packed alot of his stuff up in boxes and moved it our home. A few weeks later I noticed a roach. Couple weeks later more and more and more. We have never had a roach problem even tho we never got our house sprayed by a pro. We live in a log home and I'd rather not have people on the inside of the house spraying stuff on the logs. I did some reaseaech and found the chemicals in this product is what's in the commercial products. So I ordered the product, applied the product with a pump sprayer I got at Lowe's ....two days later the house keeper called me and said she had swept a good many dead roaches. My response was great! I applied another round a week later ....this has been 3 weeks ago and it's still working. We have gotten rid of the cardboard boxes that dad's stuff was in. This is a great product. I would recommend this to anyone!

I have had an increasing problem with millipede infestation each fall for the past 4 years. I have tried "many" products from home and garden departments/big box stores, and none did much more than slow the infestation slightly. Last year we had thousands in our basement and on our sun room with access to the outside. At your online recommendation I purchased Telstar P and have been amazed at how well it has worked. I sprayed planting beds around the perimeter of our house and the foundation as well as sidewalks, and the problem is all but eliminated - only a few visible, and residual effect might be ultimately get those. NONE in the house. Thanks for your help

Over the course of my life l have had many encounters with ants. I have squashed them, set them on fire, sailed them down the creek, peed on them, etc and then I read where God had said to consider the ant and its ways. I'm thankful He did not say be one with the ant! I have been dealing with ants in my home for some time and have used many products to try and stop them from taking up residence here. Finally I do believe I have the upper hand. I have sprayed this product around the perimeter of the house and inside in certain areas. I do believe that stopped them! I will continue to treat my house on a regular schedule. I am pleased that I don't have to pay a company to do it!! I have become the aggressor and spray areas where I find ants in the yard. Great product!!!

This product is the number one safety product to get rid of bugs, roaches and all the insects that can invade your household. Excellent for both outside and in with no fear in endangering your pets or your children. I have used this product and there is no need for anything else as it meets all my requirements. In using this product you do not see any insects around for the longest time and even on the outside the rain does not affect its usefulness. I spray around the entire house both on the ground and on the sides of the house. I would recommend this product to anyone as safe and effective and not expensive.
