cockroach problem
By Jayro on 07/24/2017
Does not work as labeled.
By Curt on 08/19/2016
Poor product. Mix and spray the stuff according to directions and still get raided by masses of mosquitoes every night. Tried cold, thermal fogging along with hand pump sprayer. Nothing. Can't handle Minnesota mosquitoes. Slow, small kill at best. No residual kill. Waste of money.

Don't Buy This!!!
By Iris on 10/14/2015
The first time I used it, I mixed it as recommended. I did not see any decrease in the amount of bugs I saw. I waited a few weeks and doubled the strength of the mixture. This time it seems as though I am seeing more bugs than before! This stuff is a JOKE!!! (The only reason I gave it a star was because I could Not submit without it).
Expert response:
Dear Iris,
We apologize you are not seeing the expected results. Please let us know what you are treating for and where you are using the product and last, if you are using any other product in your treatment program. Some insects are a bit more persistent and take a few steps to eliminate (like bedbugs, roaches, springtails). We look forward to hearing back from you soon so we can help make your treatment program successful.

Telstar Pro and millipedes
By Jim on 06/15/2019
Tottally ineffective on millipedes in No NV! Have been applying at 2oz/gallon an no controland with the graniles! My "pest" guy who also uses this said that it is a waste of $ and time. Heat and drying conditions is the only control! THis is the 3rd year...I give up!!!

Spider mite
By David on 10/31/2018
I purchased two containers of TallstarP to combat the destructive spider mites that were eating my arborvitaes . I had high hopes before the purchase that this is it and I'm gonna get rid of the enemies of my evergreen trees, but unfortunately the product didn't live up to it's claim of effectiveness to destroy the bugs. Regrettably after spraying my trees , I checked the trees and to my great disappointment I saw the bugs are active in their destructive activities and are alive and well.

Disappointed and discouraged
By Carrie on 07/26/2020
This product did nothing for the armyworms on my property and I was sure to have communication with customer service to insure that it would. I'm disappointed that I am on disability and wasted the money. I figured it would work at least on aphids (infestation) in my garden and it killed every bell pepper plant (10plants). Do not waste your money!!!

USED AS DIRECTED, NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE
By Courtney on 08/08/2020
I FIRST USED THE GRANULAR VERSION OF THIS PRODUCT AND HAD HORRIBLE RESULTS. SO, I FIGURED I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG. THIS TIME AROUND, I PURCHASED THE LIQUID VERSION. SAME EXACT RESULTS. NOTHING. ANT HILLS ALL OVER MY LAWN CONSTANTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS SUPPOSED TO LAST MONTHS AND IT SIMPLY NEVER WORKED PERIOD.

Disappointed
By Tim on 06/28/2021
Can't say enough bad things about it!
By Trisha on 10/12/2021
Verified Purchase
I mixed this per the directions and was so excited to watch our bug problems disappear. Boy was I wrong! For 24 hours we had maybe 2 mosquitos and thats it (which is saying a lot since we had tons of crickets, moths, ants, and flies by the swarms). I noticed though that the bugs were coming back more and more with every hour that went by. After one week we were back to the same amount of bugs that we had when I first sprayed. Now tonight at the two week mark we have more bugs than we did prior to this and I found a cockroach alive and crawling around on my patio. We keep a clean house. The dishes get done every day, we don't leave food out, etc. Why did a "professional grade" insecticide make my bug problem WORSE in 2 weeks? I am appalled! I am in search of something that will actually work and won't be touching this product again for as long as I live. I only recommend this product to those who are going for the infestation approach to decorating.

Too dangerous for a private home
By Ralph on 02/19/2022
After reading all the precautions and dangers of using Talstar P Professional Insecticide, I was fearful of the dangers. It is highly potent. Is there an intermediate-strength product for use in a private home?
Expert response:
Talstar P is very safe to use by homeowners when used as directed on the product label. People and pets should be out of the area during application until dry typically about 1 hour inside, 4-6 hours outside. We also have a great general pest prevention guide that can help and general spray video

Didn't work
By Michelle on 10/05/2018
Waste of time and money.
By Jerry on 10/28/2018
Purchased for millipedes. Called Talstar to get exact mixture and directions. Did everything as directed with zero results. After 3 more calls, and another application I realized I was wasting my time and money. The last lady I spoke with told me I didn't know what I was doing and I should hire a professional. I have owned a tree farm for 20 years, have the best equipment, and likely have spent more time spraying than she learning her product.

DOESNT SEEM TO WORK
By James on 05/29/2020
saw great reviews and had high hopes for this product. I treated the interior and exterior of my home twice within 10 days. Ants are still back. I'll continue the treatments further, but it appears it is not working. May have to send back due to price and get a product that works,

Mosquito uncontrol
By Bob on 04/17/2020
I checked my yard an house for any places mosquitoes could lay eggs or be nesting/ seeking refuge from heat. I applied the product per the directions, under and on top of leaves of all shrubs,trees,plants. The garden beds, lawn and patio areas, umbrellas, you name it. I sat down outside for a hopefully mosquito less evening. Not mosquito free. I received 17 bites in 5 minutes and every night since. I re applied per instructions. Zero results. This was a complete waste of time and money. Save your money for a screened enclosure.

Poor Customer Service
By Philip on 05/15/2020
I received my 3/4 gallon with a cracked cap and unable to open container, email was sent 24 April and customer service was going to send a replacement cap. I understand these are unusual times, however, it has been 3+ weeks and no cap has been mailed. My future business will go to a competitor, this was a simple fix!

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TALSTAR P
By Pat on 09/11/2023
I applied this solution per directions on the bottle to a large fire ant colony in one of my flower beds. I expected to go out the next morning and find thousands of dead ants. Nope. They were alive and doing quite well. I was so disappointed and very upset, since there's all kinds of work I need to do in this particular flower bed. So, I dumped about two pounds of Over & Out on the ants. Then I took a garden rake, leveled it out to around three feet all around the ant bed, lightly watered it, and next morning went out to find what I had expected with the Talstar P - thousands of dead ants. I had used Over & Out previously, per package directions, but it didn't work. By using many, many times the package directions, it worked. My money was wasted on the Talstar. I'm going to research it and see if there are ANY bugs it can kill and does.
Expert response:
Talstar P is not a fast kill on fire ant mounds and takes time to work it's way through the colony and may take up to 24 hours or more to get complete kill depending on the size of the colony.
Not Effective
By Mike on 07/14/2023
Unfortunately, for me this product is ineffective. In my own I am seeing pests inside for the first time after living in my home for 8 years. Even after seeing them in specific areas, going back and spraying those areas again.....they persist. In my garage I see other types of pests to include ants. After spraying a few times there is zero effect. The product is mixed according to instructions. I might as well be spraying water. I have yet to see one dead bug since using this product.
Expert response:
Talstar P is considered a repellent because insects can detect it. This does not mean they are truly repelled from the area they can just choose to avoid it as they know something is there. They must contact the treated area to be effected by the product though and this can take time for insects to die and you will still see them around. The only way to keep insects completely out is to seal up all cracks and crevices that allow access inside.
Clover Mites
By Eddy on 03/25/2023
