Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

Only been a couple weeks but I've noticed a difference already.. Treated inside and out with a mix of Nyguard igr and haven't been bit by a mosquito since. Only seen one roach alive,and that was in the garage. 100% Southern Louisiana approved! I was paying $35 per visit from a local guy to come spray I payed $35 for both products enough to treat my house for a year!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!!!!

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!!

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.

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.

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.
