    Talstar PL Granules

    By Robert on 03/17/2017

    Works very well without having to saturate the mound with water. Fire ants seldom re-build mount close to the original mound. Better than those products readily available in most home and garden stores.

    UNBELIEVABLE!! Purchased this product hoping it would cure my waterbug problem. I put this down around the perimeter of my house as well some on the inside. 2 days later no more waterbugs. This stuff is like magic!

    Can't complain with this product!!! Works very well, I didn't know that the Pest control professionals use this same product, after looking at the receipt.

    This is the second year I have used this for my yard. Keeps the bugs away and kills what is there! No fleas on the animals which is awesome!

    talstar granules

    By Joan on 06/14/2016

    I am on my second 35 lb bag. I do my two neighbors yards as well as my own. I bring samples to people to try. Using this product is almost instant. "Sprinkle in the PM and by AM they ate dead." I tell every one I know about this product. If you use that line in advertisement you will owe me :)

    A applied the product right on top of an ant colony and 4-5 feet radius of it. I didn't water the granules, it was going to rain in 4 hrs or so and it did and a lot too. 2 weeks later...ants are doing just fine, same spot! Ants were not killed nor bothered it seems by the product so I wonder if the product's active ingredient is a joke or something. I do pest control for a living, I know a good product based on results I tried this one and is totally useless.

    Keeps the bugs away

    By John on 08/26/2016

    I spread this in a 6-8' swath around my house and water it in once every 2-3 months depending on the season. The 25# bag lasts for a year. This costs less than one visit from Terminex.

    Second time?

    By Rp on 10/18/2016

    I used this product early summer mainly for mole crickets. worked great. Seen them back in September, reapplied. We received 5" of rain 4 days later. The product didnot work as previously used. I guess user error, in apply prior to a large storm? Any way, have purchased another bag, and will see how it works, this time.

    This stuff Works

    By Mr.brown on 04/15/2022

    I'm pleasantly pleased, I have a nice 20 acres and there are the fire ants that are coming out. Well before they reach the house we spread out as directed to do, sprinkle water on ant mounts around house barn and other buildings ,also in field Man those things came out and was dead all around and other insects ,like Fleas , beetles , tics, etc . I believe when it rain the next day it just soaked all in the ground, plants are fine, we waited to all dried up outside and then let animals out, all are well. We ordered more extra for next spring to get those ants that escaped to eradicate them far from land a year from now. It really Works.

    Useless

    By George on 05/20/2016

    You are better off spraying sand :) After I applied, generously, on a small carpenter ant colony, the product, after it got soaked by rain a few hrs later...ants were not bothered a bit a few days later...or a week later then 2 weeks later...ants still there like nothing happened. Same reports from other customers, so applying this Talstar granules or doing nothing was giving me exactly the same thing: no results. Since ants react rather quickly to ANY kind of insecticide I wonder if product is a scam...and yes, I know how to apply granules, I've being doing it for 10 years, why did I decide to use Talstar this time is beyond me. Don't buy, waste of money and time.

    This Stuff is AWESOME!!

    By Jay on 06/16/2011

    Verified Purchase

    I had a bad chinch bug problem in my front yard. I had tried 2 different brands from Home Depot that didn't do anything. Before I could pull up the thatch and see many little chinch bugs moving around. I put down a heavy spray of Talstar PL and watered it in. 2 days later I checked 10 different spots and only saw about 3 chinch bugs. A week or so later I did a light spray and now I don't see any. The PL is very fine like sand. It clogged up the gears on my handheld sprayer so I used my push broadcast sprayer and that works fine. I might try the EZ version next time. I recommended this to my neighbor and it worked for him as well. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Works great!

    By Betsy on 05/02/2011

    Do NOT waste your $$$ on a pest control company; they tell you a contract is needed & take your hard earned money on a monthly basis. The fact is they do nothing but spread the same substances around your home, only in a smaller scale, as you can buy on www.domyownpestcontrol.com! One bag will last you three years & cost you under $40.00! A so-called professional company will charge you hundreds every year. My mom was bothered with ants, especially after a rainy spell; this stuff WORKS SO WELL. It's not a fluke; after we began to get ants we used it, too. Use it at the first sign of ants & you will be a believer, too!

    Good stuff

    By Jim on 02/22/2019

    This stuff simply works great! It takes care of all ants I've tried it on. The residual is great to. Just sprinkle it around the mound including the "satellite mounds", lightly water it in, and ants are dead in 24-hrs...and they don't come back.

    Too Early To tell

    By Alan on 03/02/2018

    Tried on my lawn but am tod it takes about a month before I could see any drop in mole activity. Therefore it is too early to tell if it actually does any good.

    talstar pl granules

    By Cheryl on 07/07/2014

    Verified Purchase

    My thought was very good. Most ant hills were gone but some new ones surfaced 3 days later. I have to reapply again. Give it 5 stars because it took care of most ants.

    Talstar PL Granules

    By Lydia on 11/03/2015

    I use this product to control millipedes that invade our pool. It does work as long as it is applied using a seed spreader and then the grass is well watered. An application will continue to be effective for about 30 days.

    Stellar Service

    By Pm on 08/03/2012

    These folks sell product that I've been paying someone else to apply for 275.00 per year. For less than half that I can purchase my own product and have enough for the next few seasons as well. Why didn't I think of this a long time ago?

    Good Stuff!

    By Jeff on 08/22/2017

    I had a problem with ants coming in (from somewhere) into my townhouse. Sprinkled this around the perimeter of the entire house, sprayed water around the areas, and haven't experienced a single ant in the household since. This is the NUCLEAR option for getting rid of ants. They don't make granular Diazinon any longer - I researched and learned this stuff is the best replacement/substitute.

    Talstar PL Granules

    By Garri on 11/09/2010

    Verified Purchase

    I applied the Talstar Granules to the area surrounding the outside of my house a few weeks ago. The days following the application, I saw over a hundred dead waterbugs on my porch and side walk! I didn't know there was that many!!! I know this should last about 3 months and then I will reapply EVERY three months. I will continue to purchase as often as I have to. Money well spent. I recieved business cards along with my purchase for additional support from DMOPC, thanks.

    one of the best products on the market

    By Colleen on 05/26/2014

    Verified Purchase

    My daughter does pest control and her company religiously uses this product. It works very well when properly applied to the perimeter of the yard to repel against ticks. The only warning she recommends is that if you have carpenter ants INSIDE your home do not use it around your home - you will lock them inside. Other than that - I haven't seen a single tick on my dog since I started using this product.

    Well, I bought this stuff from you guys one day and within two days I received it. Thanks for getting it to me so fast. I have used Talstar PL granules before and it works great. It was about a year ago the last time that I had to put it out. I just started having a problem with ants is the only reason I had to put it out this time. Thanks again and I will be back for more.
