Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

Living in Southeast Arizona can be quite challenging with respect to critters. Paying $30 a month for pest control services was a budget line item which was seriously scrutinized. Found this website, took the plunge and purchased Talstar P with the Chapin sprayer. Used it and I have better results and our premises are now truly pest free! Thanks DoMyOwn . . .

I had a big problem with ants outside, after one application I have seen an ant in weeks.

I ordered this product because my home was under siege...I had spiders EVERYWHERE! I have been to the depot countless times and purchased every product that said "kills spiders" only to find that the spiders would run and hide until it dried and then NOTHING. I followed the directions included with the packaging and doing so required the use of 12 mixed gallons of product spread around my home. The next day, a review of the area sprayed revealed not one live spider...NONE...ALL DEAD! Thank you, Do My Own Pest Control

Black ants have long been a problem in our yard and worse, in our house. Everything off the shelf at the home improvement stores does not work. I've tried concentrates, baits, and ready-to-use sprays with little effect. This Talstar P is easy to measure, and following the easy instructions both on the label and the website video, I've seen immediate results. The ants are gone after one application around the perimeter of the house and I haven't seen any in the house either. In addition, this product kills spiders, earwigs, sow bugs, and millipedes. The day I received this product, a pest control contractor was soliciting door to door. I showed him the bottle and he inspected the label. He agreed the active ingredient would accomplish the job of killing my ant infestation. Why pay a service $95 per quarter to do work I can handle myself? I'm very happy with the advice and product performance Do My Own Pest Control provides!

The order of Talstar P and the gallon sprayer came in surprisingly quick. I was using them in less than a week from date of order. I have spider and scorpion issues at my house so I sprayed this product (using the website's instructional video as a guide) around the perimeter of my house and then again along the baseboards inside my house. Mixing the sprayer twice was enough to do it and, and it began working immediately. 99% of the insects are found dead outside the house, or in the garage. I've only had 1 spider found on the inside (and it was in the process of dying). One ounce of Talstar per one gallon of water in the sprayer means that this quart bottle will last a long time. I'm very pleased with this product and the service provided.

Second time I used Talstar this year. Thank goodness for this product. I can't imagin using any other product.

I selected this product based on a large number of rave reviews on Talstar. I have witnessed the effectiveness of this product and believe Talstar P to be one of the best insecticide products on the market. DoMyOwnPestControl provides me the opportunity to purchase this product at a more reasonable price than what you find in the brick and mortar stores.

Treated sod webworms 2 weeks ago. I don't see any activity nor the ugly moths that were flying all over the place. I live in North East FL where the weather is been very hot and humid this year. I apply it with my ortho sprayer. I add 3 oz of Talstar, 2 oz of dishwashing soap detergent (Dawn) fill it up with water. I set the dial to 1oz in the hose sprayer. It's been raining a lot here in FL but this stuff works even after all these rain. I'll do another treatment in 3mo. but if I see them again I'll do it sooner. So far is working great!

Talstar P seems to work very well at killing unwanted ants.

This product is good, but nothing amazing. It is simply your average pest control product. Not the best, not the worst. Definetly among the safest because of the properties of its ingredient however which can be a major plus to some people. Kills spiders and larger insects on contact between 1 - 3 minutes depending on how heaviliy you hose them down. The residual varies widely in my experience. It lasts about 2 weeks in 80 - 100 degree weather daily, and about 2 months in cooler temperatures. For the price it is an easy buy and does the job well enough, but if you're looking for some serious kill power or heavy residual times where the product is not just there but actually effective as well, then there are better products.

I had tried several other products but none seemed to work. I am happy with the Talstar. One pint wil last for years but when it is gone I will buy Talstar again.

It has been so peaceful and quiet in my yard for a few weeks now since I sprayed the Talstar. Used to have a problem with ants, wasps and flies, but not anymore. And best yet, I think this 3/4 gallon container will last me at least a few more years.

I have been using this for an ant problem and the first use did the job. I use this product in and outside the house. I would definitely recommend this product.

I ordered the Talstar to combat a serious chinch bug problem in Western PA in KY bluegrass and rye. No one had ever seen them here and they ruined almost 3000 sq. ft. before I figured it out. I used the max rate of 1 oz./ 1000 sq. ft. which meant just 1/5 of an ounce per 1 gallon of water in my sprayer. It is very difficult to measure 1/5 of an ounce using the gauge at the top of the bottle. The results have been fantastic. I have not seen any bugs in the lawn since. I would give it 5 stars if it could spray itself on the lawn.

I manage a senior citizen building. Around the back patio we had mosquitos galore which as you know is not good with West Nile. After speaking with Crystal who told me this was the product to get, I ordered it. After the first use, NO Mosquitos! Thank you Crystal!

Purchased this to try and knock down some of the bugs surrounding the house as well as the pesky gnats and mosquitoes. I have noticed that there are not as many as before. Seems to be working pretty good. The container is easy to measure and then mix. Happy so far with this product

Purchased for eliminating chinch bugs, and it seemed to work quite well.

we had a serious problem with "chiggers" and "grubs" that were rapidly destroyed our lawn. After researching what we could do without hiring a professional, found DoMyOwnPestControl through Amazon, ordered the products which were received very quickly. Within a short time, the insects were dead and our lawn has been recovering quickly. Thank you very much for the service, the knowledge and the product. Ms. Charles Gilbert

I just love to see the roaches DEAD OUTSIDE. They do not make it in the house. All it takes is spraying 2 - 3 feet up the house and out from the house - on the outside. It is strong - wonderful product!

I have been using this product for years now and is great at keeping the little creepy crawlers out of the house. Just follow the directions and use with Bifen granules and you wont have any pests getting in your house.

Purchased this and a barebones pump from this site and delivery was very fast. Followed instructions and was ready to spray in about 15 minutes. Sprayed inside and outside of the house and I am not seeing any roaches for the last 2 weeks, except for a few dead ones the first week.

I was seeing at least two or three roaches per day. I used the product and i've seen two roaches since then. This was after only one treatment. Thanks Talstar.

I sprayed outside my lake house as instructed and within 5 hours we were picking up dead roaches inside. I had been using another product from Lowes, this is way better and less expensive.
