Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

Have been dealing with spiders and earwigs for months now, the Mrs. said enough is enough. Not wanting to continually pay someone to spray our house. We used "DoMyOwnPestControl" and WOW, what a difference. Results were immediate. Have not seen one spider/earwig or any bug since. Thank you for a wonderful, easy to use product. Paying $30-40 with ability to reuse product is way cheaper than $70 every 6 months. We will be moving to a new home and will be spraying prior to moving in.

Live in Atlanta, so had quite a few different bugs that we were trying to prevent/get rid of. Biggest improvement were with lady bugs. If you are from atl, you know what I am talking about, if not, they are a huge pain. These were a huge nuisance the first year in our house but I sprayed Talstar both inside and outside and we haven't seen lady bugs since. Our termite bait guys want to charge hundreds to come spray quarterly, I spray bi-monthly and am very satisfied (not to mention the money you save).

I use Talstar P every year. Mosquitoes were worse this year than in the past several years and ticks rampant! After spraying with Talstar P I haven't seen a single mosquito or tick! I sprayed my neighbors properties several years ago and they've been using Talstar P ever since. This year, I introduced Talstar P to a new neighbor and by the next day she was mosquito free and convinced as I am that Talstar P is a wonderful product. I will continue using Talstar P and recommending it to all my friends and neighbors!

I've been using Talstar P due to it's price, and let me tell ya, it's worked it's magic. I haven't had a bug in the house in a year, except for the rare little black beetle bug. The bugs die around the perimeter of my home before they get in! It has also helped with my scorpion control! I use the liquid spray along with the Talstar P granules and it works like a charm! Since doing this combo, it's been 4 nights in a row without killing one Arizona bark scorpion! I will win this scorpion war!!

Great Product! After seeing how it would work in my own yard and around the house, I sprayed my fathers. Needless to say, he was following me around to make sure I wasn't missing anything lol. Long story short, after he saw the results, he asked me to order him some. The following day, I ordered two gallons, one for each of us. I applied 1oz to the gallon per 1000 sq/ft. I will say the ants were back after about 4 weeks but you could see where it killed a pile of them around the edges of the beds. You literally can see insect running especially around flowerbeds with pine straw.

I bought this and it works great on grasshoppers ,ants, ,crickets ,and other small bugs . But not so much on cockroaches . I have German and oriental but not a large amount . They are coming from the neighbors house that is now vacant . I can kill them but is slow and bars almost no affect to them . I hope this will help someone else and not make the mistake I did . I'm not calling this a bad decision but i should have used bait and a tougher killer .

I live on a lake and was constantly losing the battle with biting flies and mosquitoes. Fogger didn't really work and every night we would have to go inside. After purchasing the Talstar P and doing one application around my house I thought this will never work. But to my amazement after 1 hour all the mosquitoes were gone and we spent the night outside enjoying the night air. I highly recommend this product to control these pest. Oh yea in a day the biting flies were gone also.

For years I have tried all kinds of ant,spider and other insects control. They all didn’t work and I continued to have problems. I was told about DYI and I decided to try it. I mixed the ingredient with water as the instructions said and was ready to give it a try. I had ants all around the foundation of my house, along both sides of the driveway and sidewalks. I was amazed by the results of this product when I sprayed it for the first time. The ants started to run away and before less than a minute later they stopped moving and died.

This product was recommended by a co-worker as we were looking for an exterminator after our exterminator retired. We used this product to help with ants, mosquitoes, and spiders. While spraying the corners and around doors and windows, I saw spiders literally dying within a few minutes. Between this product and a sprayer, we will save time and money. Being able to exterminate your house on your schedule and not spend several hundred dollars for an exterminator is amazing. We are enjoying the outside of our home much more now.

So far so good!! Immediate result. Very pleased. It was easy. Non staining to siding so it isn't seen or leaves a residue and while spraying doesn't have an overwhelming chemical smell. I wasn't sure if it was going to work but since I sprayed it I haven't seen one small tiny ant around my door openings inside my house at all ....nit anywhere....gone! Totally awesome so far and worth every penny. We'll see what my results are 7 days from now and make sure it did the job. Thank you guys so much for making it easy.

I have been using Talstar going on 5 years. Talstar has been the only product that I put on my lawn that actually killed the chinch bugs and cleared my lawn of ant mounds. Sprayed against the outside walls controlling the amount of bugs getting in my house. This is the first time getting such a good offer on Talstar that I could not pass up buying the 3/4 gallon although I still have enough for about two spraying in my other gallon. Look forward to receiving another great sale like this one. Chuck

I gave 2 stars because I've used Bifenthrin before in other products, like Ortho, with terrific results! I thought Talstar would be THAT much better but after applying the max dosage to my lawn it made NO difference! Still tons of lawn critters, spiders, mole crickets, scorpions, fire ants, gnats, mosquitoes. So I sprayed just around our back patio area with "Bayer advanced" and in two hours there was a small army of dead bugs listed above on the patio. Now, like I say I've used Bifenthrin before in lower doses with great results.  So is it possible I got a bum batch or something??? I dunno...

Bought both products after several years of buying normal hose end sprayer products from big box stores which did very little to control mosquitoes for more than a couple of days. After one application of each product, yard with a great deal of plantings in south Texas is still mosquito as well as fly free. Even though products are a bit pricey, their performance actually makes them more economical. I was spending $7/week for very little control.

For years I have had trouble, in the August timeframe, with sod webworms destroying my lawn only to call the lawn care company to come out and treat it for five times the cost of this Talstar P liquid. With Talstar P liquid I was able to stop the sod webworms dead in their tracks before they could cause any damage. Also, the liquid was easy to apply at the correct rate with my hose end sprayer. Thanks DoMyOwn!

I used this product in a hose end sprayer set to 1 ounce. It seemed to do a great job for the first 2 days after the application, but i still have what i was told to be "spring flies" (so i was told by someone who works for a pest control company) in my grass. I still have some left and i am going to try a second application and see how that goes.

I bought this product to kill the ever growing population of stink bugs-ugh. I only sprayed the outside bushes by my front door and bay window, as well as the back yard against the house and door. I have not seen one single stink bug (alive) since. I did see a yellow jacket go into the bushes that I sprayed, but he disappeared, never to be seen again. I need to spray the basement for spiders next. In the summer I intend to use it on the carpenter bees. If it is as effective on the spiders as it was on the resilient stink bugs I will be ecstatic.

I fired my pest control company and used this inside my home and overnight I say dead pests all over the place. What was the pest control technician using? water? Anyway, I also sprayed around the foundation of my home and saw spiders running like crazy. It looked like the grass was crawling! The next day, dead spiders around the house. The next week, no more spiders! I bought this because of the spider problem and after killing a brown recluse hanging on the foundation! This stuff rocks!

This site is awesome and this bug spray is awesome. Don't be put off by the high price (compared to regular , 'home depot', bug spray). 3/4 gal of Talstar makes 96 gallons of bug spray!!!! I sprayed this on the exterior of my house and interior. On the exterior I also sprayed my flower beds really well. It has been a cockroach grave yard out there ever since! I haven't seen a live roach inside or outside since I sprayed this stuff 2 weeks ago.

As usual, I received the shipment of Talstar P lickety split, that's southern for very quickly, and in good condition. Due to weather conditions (exceptionally high temps over 100+ and dryness), I have not been able to use the Talstar P yet. Although it seems to be great for most insects, I specifically purchased it to erradicate a major problem with red spider mites on our roses. I was very disappointed to see that only a few days later, the price for a gallon of Talstar P was $6.00 LESS than what I had paid. Guess I should have waited a little longer before buying it....

Having problems for years with different types of bugs,spray Talstar P 1 oz per gallon inside around base boards and window frames about 2 weeks ago, of course some of the bugs that were hiding came out into the house. The only ones that it looks like I am going to have to respray for are sringtail they are the ones that no other product has touch. The Talstar P has kill a lot of them just going to have to hit it again. Great product if you have had no help for the stuff you get from places like Lowes, Home Depot, ect.

Yes, I am disappointed, after reading all the good reviews for this item, I thought that I found the perfect insecticide to get rid of the mosquitoes around my house . so I sprayed very carefully all my yard (9000 sf) with 14 gal of mixture ( 2oz per gallon) and hoped that it will last at least a month ( reading the reviews it should have last 3 months). we had less mosquitoes for 1 week and afterward the infestation was back to normal, impossible to be outside anytime of the day, it is true that it is the rainy season, maybe it is why ?? we will see in the dry season if it works !

I bought this to eliminate black widows and other spiders in my garage in Raleigh, NC. I have since used it all around the house, crawl space, ornamental trees, kids' playset, etc. It has apparently eliminated all spiders and other bugs from the garage, and I was able to vacuum up the debri in there and it is so nice. It is also a great bargain, since this 3/4 gallon makes YEARS of effective relief for my single-family home. I have since given some ounces to my mother-in-law and co-workers to help them at their home. Would buy again for sure.

I use this inside and out. I used to pay 60 dollars per quarter to have house sprayed and still had spiders and ants. I think they fed them. Since I've been using Talstar only do it twice a year and nothing that crawls lives. For example, my wife's rose bushes got attacked by Japanese Beatles.  I sprayed and right away they started to move and fall off DEAD. I'm telling you buy this product. 5 of my friends have purchased since and they have thanked me. Try it you'll see.

After reading a number of reviews on line, we bought this product. We originally hired a professional group to help with what we were told was a German roach issue. They were BEYOND useless! We have used this project three times, both inside and outside the house. The ones we don't find dead seem to be scared into glue traps. We have nasty neighbors and a lot of new construction around us with is likely contributing to the problem. However this product seems to be working!

This product was purchased in a 1 Gallon size container. I have used it several times for myself and neighbors. My neighbors and myself are very happy with this product. This stuff kills black widow spiders too, along with many other critters that find their way into and around your house. I am amazed at just how well this stuff works. I don't do reviews but this stuff is effective and definitely does the job. I am a DIYer. I definitely recommend this product.

We had a problem with a LOT of bees around the carport and also wanted to insure against termites as we had just purchased an older home surrounded by woods and had no idea about past treatments (though we suspect there had been none for at least a few years). Its been about a month and we can say with absolute certainty, his stuff is amazing! No more bees!! And since trenching and treating around the house, not so much as a spider seen upstairs or in the basement! Definitely recommend!!

I honestly dont know what I would have done without this stuff! Nobody wanted to get out of their cars at the house bc of the teradactyl size mosquitos that swarmed you when you drove into the driveway anticipating your exit from the car... it was a game to see if you could get inside before their crew descended on you before you made it through the door! This stuff along with the other stuff we got from here has dramatically decreased the size and the population... I will be buying more!

I sprayed talstar p on my yard around my house out of a 45 gal sprayer from my utv. Before I sprayed we would have ticks on us every time we went outside (we live out in the country in a rural area). Once I sprayed we have had no ticks and I also noticed ant hills that had been abandoned. I have recommended this product to people that I work with. The only pest I still have in my yard are gnats but they are not as bad as they were before I sprayed

Excellent mosquito control and ticks, being using this product for the last two years and I am amazed how well this work to control mosquitoes and ticks, I live on a wood wet lands in Massachusetts and if I don't treat our land, we are not able to get out of the house after 5:30 pm and before working on the yard always we had to removed few ticks not anymore, and we only do one application with a comercial Stihl sprayer and work for the whole spring, summer and fall, excellent product.
