Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I've been using this over the past year. Spraying 4 feet up the exterior walls, around windows/doors, 3 feet away from the foundation and garden beds as well as perimeter treatments. It seemed to work but not quick enough to stop the bugs from entering the house. I found some dead insects but I still had to manually kill earwigs/spiders every day. I just tried Tempo SC Ultra and Demand G Granules which worked 100% better.

Stuff is great! Was tired of paying 40 bucks a month for our bug guy so i found Talstar P. I've seen dead spiders that i didn't see when our bug guy was spraying. I've noticed lots of dead roaches, pincher bugs and other spiders. Also let my dad use on bees that were around his house and worked on them as well. I will definitely be buying more.

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.

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've had the product for about two months. It has worked as expected. No bug problems around the house or in the yard. Works great on ants. They didn't just move the mound, they are gone for good. Would recommend to spend money on this product. It was recommended to me by a vet because I had a tick problem with my dogs. No more ticks.

I have used this product for several years and it works better than any other I have tried. Its potency lasts longer than most and reapplication isn't necessary every month. The only bugs I find in the house are dead ones. It worked very well on my daughter-in-laws farm around the outside this spring when the Japanese Beetles and Box Elder bugs came out. I've recommended it to several people and they are impressed with it as well.

This past summer we had a serious seed tick infestation at the edge of the yard, especially around the pen where my three Beagles stay. On one day after working in this area, I had to remove 10 little ticks from various locations on me. One 3 gallon batch of spray, liberally applied in suspect areas, did the trick. We also used this spray for nuisance ants, crickets etc around the outside of the house. That was the best $38.00 I ever spent!

I live in maryland and I use this product in my old house which has every creepy crawler imaginable. My son wouldn't even sleep in his own room most of the time and would opt to sleep with his grandmother. Well last night my son was able to finally sleep in his room after the room being creepy crawly (mainly silverfish) free for 5 days. I will continue to buy this, it is awesome.

I used to go with a brand in a orange box, but my luck ran out apparently. We unknowingly bought a house with a formicary or so it seems underneath. These ants are like mike tyson in his prime, it's Ludacris. I needed a professional strength and professional results without the associating costs, and found talstar p. There slogan should be, "formicary today, empty soil tomorrow" so nice to be without ants again. Thank you

Why waste money paying some dude to do this? It takes about 15 min to spray the perimeter of my house. A little effort goes a long way. Plus you can spray areas you know cause problems that a pest control guy won't do. Like out on the front edge of the yard where ants can run rampant. Thanks for carrying this DoMYOwn. Got this in 3 days hassle free!

Three days ago my property was invaded by lantern flies. I mean hundreds of them. Three weeks earlier I had sprayed the Talstar On the perimeter of the house, flowerbeds, and edge of my wooded area. Long story short 24 hours after they got there everyone of them was dead! This year the stuff worked like a miracle! Last year they got me by surprise not this year! I really do swear buy this product very good!

recommended by a family member living in Arizona two years ago. I have been doing my own home exterminating for many years. We recently built a home in the Texas hill country and had minor insects but a lot of scorpions and spiders. After using talstar p going on three years our insect problem is resolved and the barrier around the house lasts for many months.

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.

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 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.

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!

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 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.

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'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.

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.

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!

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.
