Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I had an infestation of grandaddy long legs or harvestman spiders last summer and I had the Orkin Man come spray them but I was not happy with the results, so I researched them on the internet and decided to try Talstar P on them this year when they came out. This stuff really works on them. They are gone now. 5 stars for this product. It didn't take very much to mix a gallon of liquid and I only needed 1/2 gal to spray all around the outside my house.

We bought a new to us house. W didn't realize how awful the mosquito problem was in the back yard. It was really bad!! We have taken every step we know of to reduce the problem. It was better but still...lots of mosquitoes. A friend told me about this product. I have ordered several times now. The delivery is really fast..which is great because you don't have to pay extra for that. Our neighbors use it now too. The price is good and the product works.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!!

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.
