Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

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.

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.

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.

I had a problem with wasps and stink bugs up until I used the insecticide. Now I don’t! It keeps them out of the enclosed porch and from coming into the house. I am so happy with this product and am very thankful for the friend/professional who recommended it to me. It’s been a couple weeks and still NO BUGS!! This is amazing stuff that really works!

We have been living in this house for 13+ years and it's been virtually impossible to enjoy our backyard due to mosquitos. Throughout the years we tried several products claiming effectiveness against these blood suckers. They were all a waste of time and $$$. After applying Talstar P we noticed instant relief of Mosquitos with no harsh chemical odors/smell. It been three weeks (rain storms daily) since our first application and this product is as effective as day one.

I bought a quart of Talstar One two years ago. It works better than I would've imagined. I spray around the perimeter of house about 2-3 times a year and it keeps any and all pests away. I used Diazinon before but those results pale in comparison to Talstar One. I hope you have this product for a long time to come.

Our beautiful spruce trees were being invaded by bag worms. Our trees are approximately 15-20 feet tall and were slowly dying because of these worms. They form little cone shaped bags from which they hang down from the tree branches and slowly eat the needles. The bags look like little pine cones so you really don't notice them unless you're looking for them. The branch ends up dying. We were panicked because our trees took years to get where they are today and these worms were killing them. Talstar worked great! My husband sprayed the trees once and within a few days the worms dried up inside their little bags and were falling off the trees. He plans on spraying again to make sure they've all been taken care of.

Overall, a great product. Safe to use. No unpleasant odor. Great for Florida lawns, especially St. Augustine grass subject to chinch bugs and sod webworms when the weather turns hot, and several times during the summer. And, it is even safe enough to use indoors in my house to eliminate roaches and ants. Residual lasts for several months. I also used it to wipe out giant spiders in an infested aircraft hangar.

I have professional pest control, but I wanted something to supplement their service. I'm usually not home when they stop by, so they can't spray inside. I have to deal with black widows where I live, and I noticed a general uptick in spider activity inside the house. I followed directions and now they're dead. Anything else that pops up dies quickly. Couldn't be happier.

Becoming the "Exterminator" couldn't be easier thanks to the Do My Own insecticide. The water to solution ratio is clearly explained in the user guide and the bottle also has nifty built-in solution measuring guide. I haven't seen a bug around my house (That's if you don't count the dead ones haha) since I have sprayed. Hands down, the most economical and effective insecticide out there.

Had a problem with ants getting into our new double wide mobile home. Daughter in Louisiana told us about Talstar. Ordered it. Received it in about four days. Used it according to directions around and under the house. We no longer are bothered with ants. Love this product and the service is outstanding. Will be doing more business with this company in the near future.

This product does exactly what I wanted. I needed something to use around the house that wipes out a broad spectrum of pests, but I also wanted something I could use in my Solo blower for mosquitos. This it the stuff. I add some Demand CS to it for spraying around the perimeter and use it alone in the sprayer. Creepy crawly critters don't have a chance this year.

Used it for white footed ants..did not work had to call a professional. It may be good for outside around the house perimeter and on the grass or bushes.The site indicates it is good for these ants but the professional says they do not use it for that but they use it for other ants. I wish the label was more specific.But it is a good product inspite of not working for me

Used Talstar P for the first time about two days after I received the bottle. Easy to mix, directions are straight forward. Used my Chapin back pack sprayer.......easy to apply as directed. Within 48 hours, noticed dead bugs around the sites I sprayed......concentration of bugs around the house almost non exhistant after two weeks. The bottle should last me at least two years. A lot of bang for the buck!!!!!!

I live in Florida and have used Talstar P for over 5 years. It is a wonderful product because it doesn't stain, doesn't smell and it is very effective at killing ants and other insects. Also, it will not gum up your sprayer nozzle! I use it once per month as a house outside perimeter guard and use it every time I camp. It is also good to control mosquitos and white fly on shrubs.

This product works great!! I paid a pest company for a year straight and the realized that he was writing the product that he used on the invoice. So I just ordered this product because that's what he was using and now I can treat my house all year long for way less than I was paying for 1 application!! Product works just as described and the shipping is super fast !! A+++. I am a customer for life!!

Someone sprayed this for me a few years back when they were house sitting. I saw about five roaches in six months and those I did see were “high”. Same person made a mixture for me. It killed on contact but did not keep them away. I bought some thinking maybe he mixed it wrong. They're not even dying on contact now. It takes awhile for the insecticide to affect them. Maybe they've gotten use to it?

Too soon to tell about length of active bug rejection. However, I have not seen a roach in a week. Also applied to lawn for sod webworms. Haven't seen any of their babies, those small gray moths in about the same time. Sprayed all around exterior of house and shop about a foot out creating a shield all around. Seems like it's working good. Update in about 2 weeks.

We bought the Talstar P Professional Insecticide about a month ago and have sprayed the entire house, inside and out, and haven't seen a bug since!!! The only bugs that we really had were spiders in the bathroom but since spraying we haven't even seen a spider!!! This spray is odorless, doesn't stain, and obviously works great!!! Can't believe that we paid professionals for years when we could have sprayed ourselves!!! Thank you domyown.com!!! We will definitely be buying more!!!

Tried Talstar P for the first time and saw a very noticeable decrease in the mosquito population around our house. I sprayed the perimeter and found a few nests. We have had a more than average amount of rain lately and still I have not seen very many. Easy to use, and has been very effective. We live in Houston, by the way, where the 'skeeter's are known to carry away small children.

This product works for just about all pest. I apply it around the base of my foundation and in all my shrubs and flower beds with a Stihl blower/sprayer. I even spray it in my lawn forming a barrier to my house. This products kills fleas, ticks, ants, spiders, roaches and most importantly mosquitoes. I apply it about every 5 weeks and my yard stays mosquito free.

i am undecided. Apparently this is the checmical that ORkin uses on their monthly mosquito plan. The orkin guy showed me what they use. it worked until it rained. Then I have to respray. its supposed to last a month with or without rain as long as its applied and allowed to dry.. which it was. after the rain we all got ate up by mosquitos. had to reapply. used the entire bottle in less than a week of rain. Should have lasted several months according the the application insitructions. I wonder how orkin makes money on the monthly program when it doesn't even work. they must be giving refunds like crazy or making a bundle on re-applications. when applied during a dry spell it works wonders but not ideal if you live where it rains every few days or in my case, every day.
