Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I bought this and it works great on grasshoppers ,ants, ,crickets ,and other small bugs . But not so much on cockroaches . I have German and oriental but not a large amount . They are coming from the neighbors house that is now vacant . I can kill them but is slow and bars almost no affect to them . I hope this will help someone else and not make the mistake I did . I'm not calling this a bad decision but i should have used bait and a tougher killer .

I live on a lake and was constantly losing the battle with biting flies and mosquitoes. Fogger didn't really work and every night we would have to go inside. After purchasing the Talstar P and doing one application around my house I thought this will never work. But to my amazement after 1 hour all the mosquitoes were gone and we spent the night outside enjoying the night air. I highly recommend this product to control these pest. Oh yea in a day the biting flies were gone also.

So, crazy ants in my yard were driving me, well, CRAZY! Tried several "guaranteed" products from Wally-World with very limited results controlling crazy ants OUTSIDE. Most products worked for only a few days; presumably, only killing those ants above ground during treatment. Talstar worked much, much better, but didn't completely eliminate all ants. The infestation was so bad, I'm sure a second treatment in a month will be necessary. At least I can walk on my sidewalk and driveway without getting swarmed every time. We did get several days of hard rain starting the day after application. Not sure if this helped to wash the product underground into the mounds or if it washed much of it away. The price per application is much better than other products, and the liquid format is much easier and effective than granules. I used a hose-end sprayer to quickly apply at the indicated rate; spraying 4' up on the house, fence and trees in addition to covering the lawn. I would have given it 5 stars if it had eliminated all ants on the first application; however, it is the best product for lawn-based crazy ants I've ever used.

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.

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!!

Great product Had problems with ground beetles the past few years. Nothing I used worked until I used Talstar P. this stuff is amazing. Absolutely zero bugs of any kind in or around the house. While others are still fighting off the ground beetles and other unwanted visitors with the stuff Lowes or HD carry, I'm sitting pretty with the Talstar that I bought from domyownpestcontrol.com. So far I just used one application and I'm shocked how well it worked. It is truly the atomic bomb for bugs. Super satisfied.

Been using this product for 3 years now. Where I live there is normally ant problems 6 months out of the year. Since I started using this product, I simply spray the pine trees in the spring when the ants come out of the trees. This takes care of the problem for the rest of the year. I also spray around the house foundation. Does a great job on mosquitoes. Spraying the lawn twice a year takes care of the problem. You won't find an insecticide that is this effective at lowe's, Home Depot, Grange Co-Op etc.

This stuff is phenomenal. We were recommended this product by a friend and it has been amazing. We live very deep in the woods and it was hard to leave the house before you were chewed through by the mosquitos. After applying Talstar, I can enjoy my back deck and paths again! We have animals that are outside and after letting Talstar dry the animals have not been affected by it at all. They appreciate the lack of insects as well! I highly recommend this product!

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.

We purchased this spray on line, received it in 3 days; my husband sprayed our 10 yr. old wisteria arbor and it was completely free of kudzu bugs by the next morning. We also sprayed around the house and other flowering borders, and they also were kudzu bug free. I cannot believe that the wisteria arbor was just covered (each tentacle had at least 1000 bugs on them and the arbor is 16 ft long. This Talstar P is certainly a miracle spray and we will purchase more when needed, and tell all our friends about it.

I was constantly having to kill those baby millipedes in my walkout basement. Shortly after spraying this stuff around the outside and inside of the house, the floor was soon covered with lots of dead ones, and 2 weeks later, we occasionally only see one or two dead ones (instead of a dozen) when we go down stairs. Definitely a huge improvement, and now I don't have to do the killing personally. Of course, my order arrived very quickly, as always. Love this company and its products.

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.

Several years ago my lab got out of our yard and was found several miles from our house. When we brought her home we did not know she was covered in ticks. Within a few days it became evident and we groomed her and removed well over 100 ticks! Within about 3 weeks we had ticks crawling up our walls! It was GROSS! I tried EVERYTHING, to no avail. Finally I got some Talstar and the ticks began to disappear. Within about 2 weeks no ticks. We have been tick free now for 3 years and we just used Talstar for termites. LOVE IT!

I used this for my shed that the Carpenter ants got to.  The Carpenter ants are now history (I sprayed inside the shed and outside all around the building and ground).  I am now spraying the outside of the my house and about 2 feet up by say 2 feet out from the foundation just in case, it did not harm the flowers or bushes, great stuff and a great value and it is shipped on time.  I was surprised 4 days and I was laying down Talstar P.

We live in Baton Rouge and always have mosquitos around. I spray Talstar in my yard with a hose sprayer once a month. It works great for keeping them away. Never had an ant pile in my yard either. I highly recommend.

Had recurring issues with millipedes. Had a professional company come out and spray for over a year and they kept coming back after just week or so. I decided to give this a shot and since I've sprayed this in the basement and along the perimeter of the house, haven't seen one since. It's been a few weeks now and I hope they will stay gone for at least a month or two when I will spray again. Hopefully that will take us in to winter and maybe they will go dormant. Either way, it appears this is really effective and I would highly recommend it!

I do not normally write reviews. However since we were covered up with ant mounds all thru our my flower beds and pots. And nothing was working I gave Talstar a try. By the next day most of the mounds were gone. There were ant carcasses piled up all around the outside of the mound. It is definitely worth buying. The next product will be for carpentar ants. These things are killing all our hardwoods. And now they're coming in my house. Which causes as much as damage as termites. In the past exterminators have been unsuccessful with this menace. I hope I get the same results as I did with Talstar.

The mosquitoes were horrible after we got 12 plus inches of rain in one day about 2 weeks later you couldn't even step out into garage without the lik suckers attacking you! We sprayed Telstar over perimeter of house and we were good to go for a couple weeks while our friends had to stay inside! I believe a few of them will be ordering from you by next summer ???? It normally last longer than 2 weeks but I'm telling you I've never seen them this bad so getting a couple weeks out of 1 spray was fine with me....this stuff REALLY WORKS!!

I will try to make this short, I am very impressed. We have been fighting grasshoppers for 11 years, nothing works. We were infested with them. First spray I doubled the dose 1 oz, gal. WE live on 1 And half acre, I sprayed a perimeter of 95 by 120 ft where the house and gardens are, did not spray gardens. After over 3 weeks no grasshoppers in my perimeter . I have chickens they are mad at me they have to go outside the perimeter to get their grasshoppers. I will spray again in a couple days saw a couple today. I will use regular dose next time

I started using Talstar last year to mainly kill Spiders & Ants. Found out that I wasn't seeing any bugs period, except dead bugs for a good couple months after spraying. We have an inground pool which attracts way too many spiders that get in and freak everybody out. Talstar fixed that problem. Also ant activity around pool ceased. I was afraid ants would eat holes in the liner because there were so many. Also the crawl space under house used to be full of spiders but not anymore. I highly recommend Talstar!

The floor inside my house is made of ceramic. I had an ants plague picking ground from every notch in the joints. I used many products: liquids, powders, sprays; not one worked. Two weeks ago spayed the corners with a mixture of one ounce Talstar P per one gallon of water. The area looks clean and dry, but the next morning there was a layer of dead ants over the floor. Didn't imagine that hundreds of ants living under the ceramic. I really recommend this product.

This is the first time using a Talstar product and it worked wonders. We moved into a house in North Florida and the previous owner put down a ton of pine straw so the mosquitoes were awful. The other bug population attracted 30-40 spiders throughout the yard (front and back). I used as prescribed, 3-4 weeks later I haven't seen any spiders or mosquitoes. It hasn't effected the dogs (Rottweiler and Ridgeback), and it's held up in the massive rain storms we've been having. I have not used it indoors (except the garage) yet, but haven't seen any signs of need.

I am a repeat customer, always have had good luck with your product.Recently noticing one of my trees looking sick and tired, upon examining it closer I noticed it was loaded with black ants.I mixed 1 ounce of Talstar with a gallon of water sprayed the trunk and tree liberally. It is probably now 3 weeks and the tree is looking better and still no sign of ants or bugs of any kind.Plus i use it on the outside of my house,and my cottage in Northern Michigan,It definitely gets the job done, and much cheaper than calling an exterminator.. thank you

I mix up 1 ounce per gallon of water which gives a .06 dilution. That is 20% stronger than Ortho Home defense (.05 solution) and unit cost of Ortho is about $14 a gallon at Home Depot. The stuff I mix up has a unit price under $2 a gallon. What a savings!! Plus, one gallon sprays my house twice. I spray about every 3 months, so I literally have enough concentrate to last years. I have given some to neighbors for a flea problem and it totally worked for them as well.

purchased product which arrived with a damaged box - emailed company, replacement arrived ASAP -fabulous! sprayed Talstar P on roof, down chimney, exterior of house, 3' on ground away from foundation. I was especially focused on Stink Bug eradication - after 1 week there is a huge reduction in number of bugs, will spray again as directed Product is great, stink bugs died and I can open screened windows and doors without fear of invasion. did not spray on windows as one reviewer suggested . thank you chemists!
