Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

We were told about Talstar P by some friends in Alabama after discussing our ant problems with them. We were not able find it in any of our local stores so we purchased it online. After ordering it, we received it within 3 days! Following the instructions we immediately started spraying outside our home. Ants were everywhere! We had a big problem with them. At once we could see results outside as well as inside our home. Talstar P was very easy to measure and mix. There was no odor with the use of it and we highly recommend it to anyone with ant problems. We even plan to take Talstar with us camping this fall. Thank you for a Great Product!!!

When I purchased my new house in 2013 it had three bodies of water as well as a stream and a real mosquito problem. After a Google search I found do my own pest control.com and they recommended Talstar with a solo 451 backpack blower. I purchased the Talstar as recommended and the blower. I have used this product now every year at least two or three applications and it is nothing short of incredible. The trick is you have to make sure that you get lots of coverage on the underside of leaves not just the top. Mosquitoes love to hide in dark wet areas and this is where this product is effective. Not to mention, with light rain topical applications are more likely to be washed away. Now in 2017 I have upgraded to a 16 gallon tree sprayer with an electric pump. This gives me more coverage and more saturation in the areas that count. I drive around with a golf cart on my property and spray all of the potentially affected areas. This product will kill an entire host of different nuisance pests however I use it exclusively for mosquitoes and like I said above it works great. The best endorsement for this product is the fact that I pay a professional exterminator to come out once a year and washed on my roof line and house to make sure that we don't get wood boring bugs on our cedar siding and shake roof which will destroy the house. I asked them what they would use or do use for mosquito control and/or insect control and they said demon or Talstar. I stopped paying them $350 a year to spray my house and I do it myself now. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did.... One last piece of advice, if you're planning on cooking out with company say Friday night, make sure you're out there on Wednesday applying this product. Although it does seem to have an immediate effect when sprayed directly on these pests given a few days they'll all be gone. Good luck to you.

One of the best general use products I have used. Spray the around windows/doors and perimeter foundation of 5 rental houses twice a year as a preventative measure and have had zero issues. Also a good value in the 3/4 gallon size.

Easy to use.. have noticed a decrease in mosquitoes and fly's! Seems I have a lot less fly's than my friend's houses, and I'm the one living the country! Not to mention a few other random dead bugs.. so I'm happy

Gallon of Talstart P (basically a lifetime supply) - $65.00, 25lb bag of Bifen IT Granules - $31.00, Broad spreader - $35.00, 2.5 Gallon Hudson Sprayer - $13.00... A lifetime without being pestered by little blood sucking insects and spiders... PRICELESS I ordered this product recently when I bought a new house and noticed an excessive amount of flies in my living room and spiderwebs all over the outside of the windows and doors along with ants, beetles and other weird little bugs. I also purchased Bifen IT granules to spread on my lawn due to being eaten alive when I would take my dog out who also was covered in bites and a dozen or so large ant hills both fire and regular. To test it out I applied the granules directly to the ant hills and that worked very quick in killing them off. Then I applied to the whole yard and bushes around the house. After about a 3 days to a week, I can literally walk out in my yard, sit in the grass or roll around and play with my dog without being attacked. I then mixed a double batch of Talstar with the suggested amounts as directed on the label into a 2.5 gallon Hudson sprayer and sprayed around the perimeter of my entire house inside and out, including the garage, around all the windows, doors and back in cabinets and closets where spiders like to hangout. Just make sure it's dry before the animals can get near it. Inside on the upper corners and any cracks or crevices that bugs could go are no problem to spray though. Problem solved! This stuff keeps the bugs out! And I bought the gallon jug... this thing will probably last me the rest of my life! It doesn't take a lot to be effective. Combined with the bifen granules for the lawn my house is completely bug free both inside and out. This website is affordable and FAST! I got both my orders delivered for FREE and they showed up before the estimated delivery dates. Highly recommend these 2 products mentioned and using this website to get them. Have not found a better deal or a more professional level of service.

This works great for controlling lawn pests and is real easy to use with just a hose-attatced sprayer. I am now going to use it for home perimeter insect controll with a back-pack sprayer(REALLY worth the initial expense!) and discontinue my bi-monthly pest control service.

We had a terrible mosquito problem because of all the rain this year. I sprayed this with a Chapin hose end sprayer #6004 and there are no more mosquitoes. I am amazed at how well it worked. It's been about 2 weeks and still no problem.

Moved to SC a year ago. My wife heard about all the huge bugs in SC and demanded we have exterminator services. I like to stretch my dollars, so did a little investigating to find this is the product the pros use. I spray in and around the house once a month during bug season and we don't see many bugs at all. I would say we don't have any, but my wife seems to find a mosquito or fly occasionally. I have recommended this product to many people.

I've been using this product as an maintenance spray around the foundation of my house for a few years now. The retailer that I purchased it from charged me aprox. $50.00 for 16 oz......I thought that was expensive, but it does the job and after the money is spent it's forgotten......Finding it here at such a fair price is a Godsend as things are tight now with prices going up on everything. Being retired and on a pension, it means a lot to me to buy excellent products at a fair price........ It's also the best product that I've found for this use as well as for fire ant mounds.

Great Product. A relative had a major infestation of roaches. She tried all of the store brands. Roaches thought that it was dinner time, not so when I went over and did a through job in her house. I may have to go back a second time not sure yet. I would recommend Talstar to anyone who reads up on how to properly spray for pests. This is my second time doing business with domyownpestcontrol and will continue to do so as needed. Very fast and free shipping, not often do you get both.

My house has been invaded by carpenter ants from time for many years. I have effectively controlled them over the years by injecting diazanon into key locations. When my supply of diazanon (banned in 2004) ran out a couple of years ago my carpenter ants became an uncontrolled nuisance. Nothing they sell at Home Depot would touch them. Then I discovered Talstar. I injected it into the area where I knew the ant larva were stored, and also through the siding between every pair of studs. Within a couple of days all signs of carpenter ants had disappeared. Great product.

We have used this product for the last three years. Not only on our home but also on our children's homes. When I first used it we had an ant and spider problem which was resolved. My daughter lives in FL where bugs are everywhere. They also had their indoor bug problem resolved. The product lasts and does not have to be reapplied more often then recommended. It is easy to use. You dilute it as directed and put in your sprayer. It is quick and easy to apply to the outside of your house.

It seems our entire street lives on an ant hill, because we could not keep those varmints out for long. I was paying $75 per quarter for pest control in our house and outside as well. I read the directions, applied a band around the outside perimeter, windows and doorways of our home and I have not seen one bug, ant, or anything for the past 2 months. We have had rainy and exceptionally dry weather, too. I highly recommend Talstar One.

I've been using Talstar for over 5 years now mainly for carpenter ants and carpenter bees, as well as anything else that crawls into the basement, garage and shed. Seen very quick results by the next day or two (no knock down). Doesn't smell or leave chalky residue, but of course has residual properties that seem to last. I treat my house eaves, fascia boards, perimeter 3-4 times a year, interior c & c twice a year and I'm free of invaders. This is a very effective product. Make sure to shake very well before dilution especially after it sits awhile in storage and during application.

I live in North Dakota, in the spring the ticks are unbelievable, thousands of them, they catch a ride on my dogs and end up in the house, I have 5 acres and try to keep most of it mowed, ticks don't like short grass, I bought the Talstar P and a sprayer to pull behind my ATV , treated a 20,000 sg ft shelter belt and some other long grass areas amazing, I would say that 95% of the ticks are gone, seldom see one now.

I just moved to Kissimmee where my new house was infested with ants, palmetto bugs that look like giant roaches, and water beetles that look like slightly smaller giant roaches. They were everywhere and it was really disgusting. After spraying the Talstar P inside and out I almost immediately saw them running for the hills. It was a bit frightening. After 3 days of finding dead insects everywhere there wasn't a bug in sight. A couple of weeks have passed and still no bugs. Also, my cat is fine which was a concern. I'm pleased.

Chinch bugs had infested almost my entire property (1.5 acres). I used 1 ounce per 1000 sqft and a hose end sprayer. Within 1 week the grass showed no further degradation. Within 2 weeks I had new grass growing in the bare spots.

Had a large infestation of mole crickets in my Bermuda grass in North Carolina. Shortly after applying with a hose sprayer, I found my former crickets, laying on their backs unable to get back on their feet. No more damage evident. Thanks DMOPC.

I have used bifenthrin 7.9% to control fire ants and many other insects that are pest on my lawn and shrubbery for several years. I use two maintenance applications per year to keep fire ants away. I use a hose applicator that provides ease of use and accuracy of application. I recommend Talstar One. It is safe used as directed.

I had a pretty good infestation in my yard of chinch bugs. They were using the weeds like little umbrellas. Every time I pulled up a weed I could literally see 5 or 6 of the little buggers run. I have applied Talstar product as directed three times and I believe I'm beginning to see improvement. Only 2 or 3 run when I pull up a weed. As far as other bugs I'd say its a great product and protects the house well. Just hope a couple more treatments on the yard will get those chinch bugs.

I have been using Talstar going on 5 years. Talstar has been the only product that I put on my lawn that actually killed the chinch bugs and cleared my lawn of ant mounds. Sprayed against the outside walls controlling the amount of bugs getting in my house. This is the first time getting such a good offer on Talstar that I could not pass up buying the 3/4 gallon although I still have enough for about two spraying in my other gallon. Look forward to receiving another great sale like this one. Chuck

Live in Atlanta, so had quite a few different bugs that we were trying to prevent/get rid of. Biggest improvement were with lady bugs. If you are from atl, you know what I am talking about, if not, they are a huge pain. These were a huge nuisance the first year in our house but I sprayed Talstar both inside and outside and we haven't seen lady bugs since. Our termite bait guys want to charge hundreds to come spray quarterly, I spray bi-monthly and am very satisfied (not to mention the money you save).

I had a problem with odorous house ants. The pest control company helped, but did not eliminate it. I ended the service and baited two areas with Advion Gel. (Read my review-Excellent product.) In another area ants were showing up one or two at a time inside along a wall facing the back yard. I suspect the pest control company didn't do a very thorough perimeter treatment. I did a thorough perimeter spray with Talstar and I have had NO ants inside for 5 days, and I have looked thoroughly every day because I hate ants. The service and sale price at this web site were also outstanding.

We were absolutely infested with millipedes!  After spending a fortune on over the counter insecticides from our local hardware and discount stores and nothing worked, I found domyownpestcontrol.com and decided to give it a try!! Our lawn, patio, basement were crawling with millipedes, they were even climbing up the foundation and siding outside the house!! A few days after using Talstar P, our millipede problem was gone!! I am going to apply it again this spring, and I hope it works as well on fleas as it did millipedes!! Thank you Domyownpestcontrol!! Excellent customer service, fast shipping, fair price!!

Have been dealing with spiders and earwigs for months now, the Mrs. said enough is enough. Not wanting to continually pay someone to spray our house. We used "DoMyOwnPestControl" and WOW, what a difference. Results were immediate. Have not seen one spider/earwig or any bug since. Thank you for a wonderful, easy to use product. Paying $30-40 with ability to reuse product is way cheaper than $70 every 6 months. We will be moving to a new home and will be spraying prior to moving in.

I've been using Talstar P due to it's price, and let me tell ya, it's worked it's magic. I haven't had a bug in the house in a year, except for the rare little black beetle bug. The bugs die around the perimeter of my home before they get in! It has also helped with my scorpion control! I use the liquid spray along with the Talstar P granules and it works like a charm! Since doing this combo, it's been 4 nights in a row without killing one Arizona bark scorpion! I will win this scorpion war!!

Great Product! After seeing how it would work in my own yard and around the house, I sprayed my fathers. Needless to say, he was following me around to make sure I wasn't missing anything lol. Long story short, after he saw the results, he asked me to order him some. The following day, I ordered two gallons, one for each of us. I applied 1oz to the gallon per 1000 sq/ft. I will say the ants were back after about 4 weeks but you could see where it killed a pile of them around the edges of the beds. You literally can see insect running especially around flowerbeds with pine straw.

So far so good!! Immediate result. Very pleased. It was easy. Non staining to siding so it isn't seen or leaves a residue and while spraying doesn't have an overwhelming chemical smell. I wasn't sure if it was going to work but since I sprayed it I haven't seen one small tiny ant around my door openings inside my house at all ....nit anywhere....gone! Totally awesome so far and worth every penny. We'll see what my results are 7 days from now and make sure it did the job. Thank you guys so much for making it easy.
