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!!!

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

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.

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.

We live out in the country were wasps, ticks, and mosquitos are very heavy. By applying this product makes it very enjoyable to be outside with out being attacked. The only thing wish it help with is deer and horse flies

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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 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.

Will see if this knocks some numbers down of ants. sprayed it on some ants roaming around it killed them. only 3 stars for now till I see some drop in ants

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.

So I watched a video on YouTube about this product. The man showed while he was spraying and when he finished all the dead bugs. We tried everything even professional coming into the house to spray which seemed to bring more bugs!??????????? We have 3 different kinds of ants, spiders, and mosquitoes So I sprayed inside and out and they are gone! I'm consciously looking everyday, but I haven't seen any, and I can sit outside without freaking bugs attacking me!! I've told like 20 people already!!

This product is better than I could have ever imagined! I use to have spiders and a big mosquito problem at my house. I haven't seen spiders since but I am more impressed with how well it is working against mosquitos. Sitting outside in my patio would be unbearable as the mosquitos would start biting you. I've used Cutter backyard spray and Thermacell scent to try to keep them away but never worked well. Talstar has helped tremendously! We can sit outside in our patio and not be bothered by mosquitos.

We have only used talstar once so far. We are covered up in lots of critters here in Tennessee. We watched in total amazement as the flying bugs flew away as we sprayed. It's amazing! No more fleas around our dogs house. The mosquitoes have been gone for about a week so far. (We sprayed a week ago) This stuff is awesome!! It's super concentrated so a little goes a long, long way!! I'm happy we can do it ourselves and not pay someone else hundreds of dollars.

I've searched around for an exterminator and their prices were just ridiculous. I found this site and this product from searching the web. I read a lot of good reviews and decided to give it a try. I mainly had black and brown widow spiders around the outside of my house and in the garage. Within about 5 mins of applying, I started to see the spiders come out of their hiding places and started to die. This stuff worked outstanding for me. Thank you DoMyOwnPestControl.com I will definitely be recommending this site and product to family and friends. Thank you A+

This is really good stuff and very economical when compared to the cost of having a pest control service. Since the drought started in California, I've seen a huge increase in bugs, especially sewer roaches looking for water. Now I see them on their backs with stars in their eyes. None have gotten in the house for which I'm very grateful! Plus sales staff are helpful and courteous and good tips on the videos at the web site. Give them a call it'll be worth your time.

I purchased Talstar P for control of mosquitoes I sprayed flower beds my lawn around house outside per directions. I didn't spray the flowers or buds didn't know if it might kill bees, butterflies etc.just ground area. After 24 hrs I noticed I didn't have that many mosquitoes and could sit out without being dive bombed by them. Will follow directions and retreat in 2 wks. I still see bees and butterflies also it controls fleas and ticks just keep your pets inside per directions until dried.

I live in Oklahoma and every year I have to deal with those ants. Like other reviews have said I have tried every product that your major home improvement stores carry. nothing worked. A year ago I bought this product. It has been the best thing that I have ever bought. I cannot emphazize how good this stuff works. When the ants show up treat around the base of your house, treat around any columns you have and it will stop them. I have reccomended this to my fellow workers and they all come back and thank me. Give it a try.

Received product on time. The on-line information about the product was helpful. I gathered the information prior to purchase. The product killed or ran away everything that crawled in my yard. I let it dry as defined in the documentation before letting my pets out in the yard. Since I was treating for multiple types of bugs I went with the recommendation for the treatment with the highest concentration. Make sure your sprayer has a fine mist all the way to a long stream to cover all areas. Like the eaves of the roof where spiders are. Going to do my house next. Highly recommend the product and the company.
