Mixed results
By Jay on 09/24/2022
I bought this to control insects around my home. Mainly ants and yellow jackets which were both becoming a problem for me. Worked great on ants with only one treatment. Appeared to have no effect on the bees as they continued to enter nesting areas even after sprayed multiple times in one week.

Not quite what I hoped
By Don on 07/20/2018
Upon receipt of the product, I mixed it according to directions and sprayed the exterior of my home. Unfortunately, the week after was exceptionally warm here in California, and ants we're looking for water anywhere they could find it. We had a number of incidences where they came into the house across the boundary that I had sprayed. I sprayed them in the house and again at ever opening I could find around the home. After the initial incidences, I have had no more problems so hopefully the product is working well.

OK for a short time
By Rusty on 09/23/2014
Purchased, sprayed very heavily in the back yard, used almost 4 gallons of water, with 4 oz of Talstar. Worked for a few hours and then the mosquitos were back. I know its not a solve all but it does say to work for 3 months. Very disappointed.

Talstar One
By J. on 09/19/2014
Ordered this product after reading all the outstanding reviews. Used it in the basement washroom and 3-4 days later still having spider problems. Sprayed the outside area for small white moths, seems to have reduced the number but even after the 2d spraying still have a problem but smaller.

By Donna on 09/11/2020
I purchased this product and was very hopeful it would be effective. I live in the deep south and every critter unimaginable roams around. I have been fighting roaches for a few months and thought this product would work; however, I have noticed no difference nor have I seen any dead bugs. Maybe I got a bad batch but it wasnt worth the money so far.
open container
By Douglas on 05/15/2020
Received 1 gallon container in well sealed box. When I opened entire inside of box was covered with white residue. Top had been opened and cap was not very tight. Not much liquid was lost but had leaked out and was all over container and inside of box. Someone had opened, broke seal and put cap back on but not tight.
Insects yes mosquitoes no
By Justin on 09/06/2019
I read reviews before about mosquitoes which primarily got my attention. Mosquitoes have been particularly bad in Oklahoma this year so was hoping this could provide some reprieve. I sprayed in the yard, fence, tress, house and the next day my son still came in with multiple bites after playing in the backyard. Wish it would have worked like others described!

undecided
By Chad on 07/31/2020
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.
Talstar review
By John on 06/29/2019
I gave a 3 because I still dont have a definite response. I have only applied once and only in front yard to do my own inspection. The front yard has noticeably less mosquitos. I think I will still need to do a couple more applications before I have a for sure yay or yay. Reputable you tubers that I watch use it as well.
Still waiting for ants to be gone

Not Sure.
By Drew on 09/04/2020
Mixed a little more than recommend as I always do with these products. Had pressure washed three days before. Spayed Telstar vigorously basically soaked the porch. And two days later I still have new spider webs everywhere. This is the first I've purchased from here that doesn't seem to work.
New to Talstar, Not sure yet.
By Rob on 09/07/2020
I am using TalstarP on aphids on roses. After a couple applications, I am told that I am doing the right insecticide, applied in the correct manner, I have read all the tips, and followed directions. Even spoke with a person at DoMyOwn. Aphid control is spotty, but I am hoping it will get better. I was surprised to find that this insecticide is made in China, not the end of the world, but surprising. Anyway, I do appreciate DoMyOwn, good people, that are knowledgeable, and there to help. I just with I was getting better results with my TalstarP.

Slow ship
By Jim on 10/30/2020
The product is the same as I can buy from numerous vendors. The value with shipping was my determining factor in purchasing from Do My Own. However FedEx took 2 days to get the product from N GA to S GA, then shipping to FL where it sat for 2 days longer...it took 6 days to FedEx a product to an adjacent state. Now I know why Tom Hanks was castaway!
Insect repellent

It's okay
By Sal on 04/29/2022
I followed the instructions and I still have mosquitos. It probably knocked it down by 40% in my opinion.

Telstar one
By Jon on 11/17/2014
I will start with 3 star today. I just found 3 last bugs in my upstairs. This is a very small number to what I have previously experienced. I only applied Telstar once. Hav I done two applications and started earlier I may have experienced 100% elimination. I have given Talstar one toa friend and he too is experiencing tremendous results If my beetle invasion continuous to stay minimal I will raise my ration. I do recommend Talstar One
