Customer Reviews for Talstar XTRA Granular Insecticide

This application was easy to put down on the lawn and seemed to work really well. I have had ant issues for years and nothing and I mean nothing has kept them at bay. My dogs are happy they can lay in the grass without getting bit by these ants. As for the mole issue I have had, I think they might have gone to my neighbors house to eat ;) I haven't seen any crickets or grubs.. Fingers crossed. I may be a forever customer!!

First year for using the product. Been fertilizing the lawn the last three years and seeing results. This spring, found an areas in the lawn with ant mounds. This might explain finding ants in the house, but I want them gone. Researched what was best to use, and Talstar XTRA was highly rated. Applied Talstar with broadcast spreader, watered it in, and a week later noticed the mounds were disappearing. Still too soon to give Talstar a thumbs up, but time will tell

I have noticed a significant reduction in bugs with a broad spread of this stuff. I plan on using it regularly now.

Heard from a pro that this stuff works great, haven't seen any fire ants as of yet.

This is a great product for insect control. It is granular and in very fine particles so is dispensed from spreader evenly and no clumps in the bag. Do My Own has a great price on it and it arrived ahead of the schedule I needed it for and the shipping was free.

Didn't work for me in North Florida. I'm going to have to stick with the spray.

Understood this killed sod webworms, bought based on DMO's SME recommendation for those specific bugs, as well as what was supposed to be a longer lasting residual. Put out a week ago, and zero change in moth and other bug population, even had a couple of new ant beds show up. Used at the suggested "high" rate also. Applied exactly as directions indicated. The only reason I rated a 2 star vs 1 star is that the grandules are fairly large and spread easily and in a uniform pattern. Not that it matters given the results, but that's why. So, I guess I will have to go back to spraying, doesn't last long but at least it kills off the bugs for a week or so before they return.

  Expert response:
We apologize you did not achieve the intended results. Talstar Xtra does not prevent any new ants from moving into the area but as long as they contact the treated area they will die. Some insects may require repeat treatments as well. We would welcome the opportunity to troubleshoot the application to help get you the results you need. Please contact us at your earliest convenience!

I much prefer the Telstar PL. For me the extra just doesn't seem to work as well.

This is the first time we’ve used this product. We used to get another brand but the store we were getting it from changed its hours and made it very difficult to get to. Compared the ingredients and it was exactly the same. Previous product killed everything for months. This one has not given the same results. It’s lessened them but you still can see activity and several ant hills have popped up since applying this.

We had ticks everywhere, and any stroll through the yard left you checking all your cracks and crevices. Since initial treatment 2-3 weeks ago, we have not seen a tick one on us or the kids. The best part is we finally got our yard in the country back. Love the product.

I have always had success with products from 'Do My Own' pest control. I had a lot of new ant hills building in my yard and my garden. At one point they were running up my leg :0 I think the product is working as expected. I did see some new hills and contacted the site and here is the response: The Talstar XTRA does have a 4 month residual after the product is put down. However, it is important that you keep in mind that every ant that is present, or still in the colony underground to present itself to the bait by contact in order for the product to be effective and maintain control.
