Talstar P
3 of 5 stars
By Paul in Lafayette, LA on 10/06/2010

Good all around pesticide--indoors & out. Provided good flea control all summer. (Has little or no effect on spiders) personally, I would not purchase again because of one label----made in China.

Talstar P for stink bugs
3 of 5 stars
By Jim in Hampton NJ on 09/28/2010

This product works well to protect the home from stink bug invasion. I am finding many dead bugs around the exterior of the house and not as many on the house as the last two seasons.

Talstar P Works Well
3 of 5 stars
By Gail in Temple, PA on 10/24/2011

This product works well, but for fleas, you definitely need to mix with a growth regulator. I found out the hard way. It killed the adults, but I was still seeing a lot of them, once I mixed with the …

By Charlotte in Park Hill, OK on 08/05/2016

good product for all around bug control, I mix it on the strong side and add a little Demon Max. Mosquitos are done for. Ticks were the main reason for the product. All bugs seem to be less annoying. …

Thank you for your feedback. Please note, using an insecticide is part of an insect reduction program. It is important that you make changes on your property such as trimming up bushes, hedges and trees, cleaning up yard debris and keeping brush cut back. Please take few moments to read over our flea guide and our general pest guides to learn more. The goal with using insecticides should be realistic. The use of these products will reduce insect activity but it will not eliminate them. This is because new insects can move in from surrounding areas and take time to contact treat areas.

By April in Missouri on 07/16/2017

I bought it for springtails (although they are easy to kill. It's just a control system when you spray to kill them. Have to take care of the moisture problem before they will truly go away). I'm the …
