Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I live in an old house that is on the national register. For some reason ants and spiders like the old gal. I do have a termite policy and I used there ant and bug policy for a while then I came across Talstar which knocks them out better than the bug policy I had. It is a great product and the folks at domyown. com are very helpful and professional. Side note: follow the precautions on the container and protect yourself.

I used this for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Mosquitoes were so thick on my one acre place they would carry you away. I sprayed 16 gallons of solution at 1 oz. per gallon with a misting rig I made for my leaf blower. Took me about 45 minutes to use all the product. Went in the house, took a shower, came back outside, NO mosquitoes, gone, not one. Been mosquito free ever since.

Terribly disappointed with this product. From all the raving reviews about how this is the one product that kills most all bugs including springtails, I was confident I had made the right purchase. Well literally 20 minutes after spraying the exterior of my home with the finished solution, the springtails not only came back, they walked right through the solution! 3 hours after spray, it appears that my problem has got even worse! Tons of them all over the house.

  Expert response:
Because Talstar P is a residual product, it may take 30 minutes or more to kill individual insects because of the mode of action. Springtails are an extremely prolific pest that can be quite difficult to treat. To fully eradicate them, you will need to identify and eliminate the moisture source that is causing an ideal situation where they can breed. You can read more information on our Springtails page (scroll to the bottom for the article): http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/springtails-c-160.html We are also happy to discuss your situation over the phone at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

Always had problems with spiders and brown ants in my garage. Sprayed around whole interior of my garage, driveway and around perimeter of the house. What a difference. The only bugs I see now are dead ones. Reminder, this is not an instant kill product but once bugs cross over it it's only a short time until they die. Wear a mask and be careful if it's windy. Glad I found this vendor. Forget wasting money at the big box stores.

I did a perimeter spray around my house and so far no insects have made it inside. To be honest, I didn't even do the perimeter treatment properly. I only sprayed about three feet out and one foot up, and just that little bit did the trick. No more roaches, no more millipedes. I will continue to buy Talstar as long as it continues to work.

Great product. Had a guy coming quarterly to spray out house for several years. He quit coming and wouldn't answer phone calls. So I thought I would try it myself. Got a pint of Talstar locally. It works great. I've used it for roach's, spiders,wasp's. Tried it on a couple of fire ant mounds this week, their gone! Bought 3/4 gallon online from DoYourOwn. Saved $$. Highly recommend! No regrets at all. Will do again.

I have used this product since I bought my home 3 years ago and will not go without it! My hairdresser told me about this and I'm forever greatful for her suggestion because my home has a crawl space underneath, no basement, which could become a bug city! We spray under the house, around the foundation, window sills, houseplants, yard areas and I never have any issues with bugs in my yard! I tell everyone about this product!

Great chemicals again from do my own pest control! We always get what we ordered in a timely manner with quality, great products. I highly recommend. This kills the bugs and keeps them away when it is sprayed around and in the house every 3 months. We never have any bugs!! Was using with a pressure sprayer but a regular spray bottle works better and less waste. We've used this with a fumigation tool also and worked good too. Thank you!

I was away from my home for 7 months due to a bogus restraining order filed by my ex husband we were still stuck in the same house (long story). He brought roaches home due to several apartments complex he was painting. The roaches were apocalyptic! Hundreds of tiny tiny ones. This stuff knocked them out in 24 to 48 hours. Its only been a week. See on or two but on the way out!!!

I bought this to control insects around my home and mixed a couple of gallons to spray the perimeter of my house where once I would knock down spider webs one day and the next day there would be more so I sprayed on Monday and Tuesday there were no webs or ants and a few dead spiders here and there. This stuff works fast with noticeable results.

We have used this product for 15 years. We spray around the base of our house once/month and very, very rarely do we see a crawling insect inside the home. We also use it to spray red ant hills in our yard. It is very effective in killing the entire colony and DOES NOT kill the surrounding grass. Have recommended this product to many of our friends.

I bought a house in Arlington Virginia last January and I can't enjoy a minute outside because of mosquitoes. After checking in YouTube and find Talstar P. I went to do my own pets control and order it. They deliver it rapidly. I followed the instructions and I sprayed my back and front yard believe me I have no more mosquitoes problems. I will recommend talstar P to everyone.

I live in South Florida and had a problem with every bug known to man. We had black and red millipedes, large and small ants, roaches, etc... Our swimming pool would fill with tiny dead ants every night. After spraying both inside and outside the house everything started dying. The millipedes have completely disappeared and my wife was sweeping up thousands of tiny dead ants for days after the spraying. Great stuff for a very difficult environment!

This stuff is great! Been using talstar for two years and sitting outside without having to swat mosquitos all summer is really enjoyable. We live in the woods in MN where the mosquitos are the state bird. A visit with the neighbors let's me know how good this stuff is as they swarm on you at their house. The price is great for the results compared to having the pros do it. Spray once a month and enjoy the summer.

Friends had told us of this product, so we ordered it & tried it ourselves. WOW! Overnight, magic! Dead spiders outside everywhere. We have problems with spiders webs also on the house & in some trees - GONE! We are in the process of spraying the attic & cabinets inside. We have all the confidence that no more bugs will be around here. Love this product & some other friends are getting it now too. Great product, easy to use & good price!

Been using Talstar P now for three years and I have found nothing on the market to compare it kills the bugs and the mosquitoes as I live in the country with a ravine right behind the house. To keep it short and simple it's the best stuff I have ever used! (I use a pull behind sprayer and last time put down 17 gallons)

I HAD a stink bug problem and there is almost nothing that will kill the darned things. I stumbled onto DoMyOwn and Talstar. Service was great, got the spray fast. I have a fan in my hot water heater vent that was getting clogged with Stink bugs. I sprayed the whole house and shed exterior. 2 days later they were gone. It doesn't kill on contact but it does GET'EM.

Great product. I started using Talstar approximately 12 years ago and have never looked back. I am so pleased with the product. I apply Talstar around my house's outside foundation walls 4 times a year and cannot remember seeing any bugs in my house since the start date. The only thing better than the Talstar product is the DMY staff. They provide great counsel to their customers.

I've been using this product for the last 9 months with awesome results ever since the first spray. I live in southwest Florida and my house is in a heavily wooded subdivision so we had a lot of spiders getting in our pool area. We also had lots of fire ants on the property. After the first application everything disappeared. I do follow up sprays every 3 months and it's working great.

After much research I found Talstar to be the best of both worlds - it is a safe product to use around indoor pets and outdoor wildlife and is amazing at keeping all sorts of bugs out of your house. It also is great on getting rid of fire ants. Do My Own Pest Control ships so quickly and I reccomend it to all my friends as the one place to take care of all your yard pests needs.

We're having the stink bug infestation, here in Maryland, and Google researching turned up Talstar P and DoMyOwnPestControl.com. I sprayed around the outside perimeter of my house, around windows and doors, and various spots in my basement. Within 2 days I noticed, not just the stink bugs dying, but also various other creepy crawlers in my basement dead in their tracks. I highly recommend this treatment. I will continue treatment after the weather gets warm again next spring.

This is the second year that I have used this product. And I cant say enough good things about it. My house is a 100 yr old rock cottage with a lot of hiding places for bugs. This is the first product of this kind that has done an great job of taking care of these varmits. I also use it in the tack room at the barn and it is amazing the spiders and wasps it kills and keeps away.

I purchased Talstar P from this web site last year and received for outstanding customer service and very quick delivery. For a number of years we have been unable to sit outside in the summer because of a mosquito problem. We have tried a number of products bought at the local home improvement center which worked for only a short while and spottily. We bought the Talstar P and backpack sprayer after finding out that a couple of local pesticide companies use it for mosquito control ( and charge $500-600 for 3 monthly applications)! I just received a shipment of this years product and plan for another mosquito free summer. We have been ecstatically happy with the results we have had with the Talstar P, were able to sit outside all summer long with NO mosquitos. I would highly recommend it.

Have been using Talstar P Professional Insecticide since 2014. It's easy to mix and apply in a backpack sprayer. It's been very effective around the outside perimeter and inside our house. Will continue to use it as long as it is effective. DoMyOwn shipped the 3/4 gal container the same day I ordered it. It came well boxed/packaged. Received it in no time. We're very pleased with this product.

Used this product again this year in the wooded area around my house. Very easy to mix the proper amount with water since the container has the way to measure directly the amount you needed to mix in your sprayer. Best is to fill in the water first, then add the recommended amount of product in the sprayer container. Easy to spray and very effective. I use it particularly against yellow jackets . Easy to order and delivery is fast. Good price.

Pro: I initially purchased this per the recommendation from Clark Howard (www.ClarkHoward.com). Clark has never let me down! This product is really good and lives up to everything Clark said. Con: My only suggestion is for better easy-to-follow measuring directions. Consumers don't need all the technical jargon…. Just simple tell me if I need to mix 1 cup of this product with X cups of water. Simple language. Keep the technical scientific language in-house.

I was a little skeptical at first however after seeing my friends results I had to give it a try. I sprayer around the perimeter of my house and in the rocks since we have seen quite a few roaches and spiders. After the first day we found over 50 dead roaches and multiple spiders. I would highly recommend. Follow all the safety and mixing instructions.

After using countless products from the local store, with little success, and spending countless dollars on pest control people who barely spray the perimeter of the house, I have finally found an incredibly potent and effective product that works for my needs. Being in Florida, and near a body of water. My big control needs are a little more than most. This product has significantly reduced my big population.

talstar would get six stars if was more resilient to rain. I spray 5 of 10 acres , the 5 I don't is the wet land where they breed. its not the best situation but if they land in the grass around my house or barn they are done for. A 90% reduction compared to time before the first spray of the year. Fourth year applying this product.
