Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I am a professional exterminator with 24 years of experience. This is my go to product for most applications. Great results for spider control. Does not stain anything that water does not stain. No odor. Does not smell up the house for hours. However, bedbugs laugh at it.

Have only used the Talstar P outside but it worked immediately. And quite wonerfully I might add. I had some carpenter ants that were coming from an evergreen tree and getting a little closer to our home than I liked. After only one application I have yet to see another ant and many other (dead) insects are now lying around. My son recommended this product to me and I have already recommended it to others. Thank you!!!

I have used this product 3 times now to rid fleas after pulling all carpets and pads. Unfortunately I am still seeing fleas! Upon each treatment fleas appear to be gone for a day or two and then they are back!

  Expert response:
Reinfestation can occur because flea eggs are protected from the insecticide application. Using an insect growth regulator will help break the cycle of reinfestation. It is crucial to vacuum prior to the application and daily after the application has been made.

A while back I was using one of the chain pest control services. I decided to do my own research and see if there were other options, considering Talstar was so highly recommended I gave it a shot. Needless to say the results have been outstanding and the savings have been even better; simply do a perimeter spraying and you are in business. Thank you DoMyOwnPestControl.com.

First and foremost, my order came three days before I expected it. Secondly, the product W O R K S...no smell or residue from the spray. Not only did it get rid of the pesky fleas but I have not seen a stink bug ,spider nor any creepy crawler that my wife screams about. With the products you sell it is easy to start an on the side business. THANKS A BUNCH

This is by far the best product for bugs I have ever used. In N.C. we have a stink bug problem about 3 times a year. I spray around screens, door frames and just any where I think they can enter, and next day-all is well. They continue to die for the rest of their invasion! Also-I find dead bugs around house all year long. Live in a 100 year old house which has many little places the critters can sneak in, but Talstar has solved that. I have 3 indoor cats and 3 outdoor cats and a dog and the product has eliminated the fleas around the house and the ones that manage to sneak in. Love that Talstar does not put my babies(animals) in danger. Much rather sweep up dead stink bugs than have them dive bombing me at night!! Thank you and I love the free shipping! Keep up the good work! Dee

I live in Phoenix where scorpions are a part of the landscape. Though my house is sealed, I spray outside to keep bugs and scorpions away. During the course of a month and a half, I have used 6 gallons of bug spray made with the Talstar P concentrate, spraying 2 gallons every other week. I am outside every night with a black-light and have not come across one dead scorpion (though I am killing plenty of alive ones nightly). This stuff doesn't seem to phase them at all. After my pup was stung last night, I decided it was time to leave a review. I bought this stuff based on other positive reviews concerning scorpions and so I am very surprised by the lack of effectiveness. If you are simply spraying for bugs, this should work for you if sprayed monthly. If you have scorpions, look elsewhere. 1.5 stars, considering I can buy regular bug spray concentrate at the box stores for a lot less.

I used it on these tiny mites that took over my home this year. It does a good job of knockdown and along with NyGuard has kept things under control.

We have a major infestion of fleas, ants, and mosquitoes. And there is no water in our backyard or surrounding yards. And I read several pages of reviews on this product and saw how many good reviews there were on the issues i needed fixed. Well its been about two weeks since we sprayed. And we sprayed everything. Even under the porch to ensure full coverage. And while it has cut down on the fleas and my dog is not covered in them, she is still coming in with many on her. As for the ants, we havent been outside much yet since its just now starting to get nicw outside but i can say i have ants inside again so im pretty sure they are still an issue outside. And as i mentioned, the weather has just started getting nice so I dont know about the mosquitoes yet. And then onto other creatures. I never had an issues with other bugs except wasps. But the wasps are still around and now this new bug has began showing up. I was relying on this to kill 75 different insects but AT MOST, its has just cut them down. So far all are still an issue

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.

Arrived on time. Easy to measure and apply. Saw a couple dead roaches a few weeks after applying. Haven't seen a live one yet. Must be working.

Tried many pest remedies from the local big box stores and spent a lot of money. First time I used this there was very few crawly things in the yard and the dogs are so much happier. This has become a mainstay of my yard maintenance.

This product is pretty good. Easy to mix, make sure to cover up when spraying. Before using, we saw lots of spiders...including brown recluse! Haven't seen their "webs" in a couple weeks and all the tiny spiders are gone. No roaches, no ants. Didn't use it specifically for termites, but seems to keep all other pests at bay. Definitely recommend it.

We use Talstar here in insect prone Florida with great confidence. It doesn't have an odor so we use it indoors. Once every six months around the perimeter of the house does the job.

Will try another product. If anyone knows a product? Please inform or forward info of product. So far I used Talstar and Temprid. Both failed to do the job. Kills on contact, but that's it. Bob

  Expert response:
Please read our Roach guide so you can make an informed decision about your roach control program. Usually just picking one product will not be adequate. You will need to pick a product and use an all around program to eliminate and prevent roaches: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-roaches-a-458.html

We HAD a bad earwig, ant, black widow and spiders problem... HAD! Literally within 30 minutes to an hour I had earwigs falling out of cracks from our house. Same goes for the black widows and spiders. Talspar P works amazing. I'm recommending to my friends and neighbors.

From Termites to mosquitos to lawn-eating pests to home invading pests... This is the only product you need! If used properly, it takes care of them all... and at a lower cost than anything else that I know of. Are you going to board the Talstar One Ship? The choice is yours to make!

Takes out those nasty lawn killers without question. Recommend it to anyone. A little pricey but you get what you paid for. Great performance. It is good for various pest and it is commercial strength.

I have been using this product for many years and it does EXACTLY as advertised. From mosquito to flea to roach control - it works. Locally, I was paying $144.00 a quart while DoMyOwnPestControl sells it for $39.00 for three quarts. The difference in cost is as incredible as how rapidly they ship. I will continue to use their product line as they have a very satisfied customer in me!

This product worked great for protecting our home in central Texas from scorpions and spiders. We have seen a drastic reduction in pests in and around the home. Would definitely recommend.

I have purchased Talstar P for the last 7+ years from Do My Own Pest Control. This stuff works exactly as stated, plus when applying there is no offensive odor like most other pesticides. I highly recommend this product. I have a very small yard and apply twice in the summer. No more fire ants, plus kills 72 pests listed.

I have used this product twice and the application shows results as I have not had before in this time frame.Dead pests are the best sign of effectiveness I can think of and I am seeing aplenty. Great product! Now if I could get a product for moles/voles that worked like this....

Couldn't be happier with this product. Have lived in present home 19 years. Had ant problems 19 years. Swimming pool in particular always like bug soup. Tried everything I could buy locally - poisons, baits, traps - even tried recommended homemade remedies. Lots of dead ants, but always more crawling over them headed for the water. Pool stores, no help. An exterminator, no help (not a problem in my home.) Seriously considered digging out pool. Applied approx 30 gals of this mixed 1 oz/gal, high volume application, around pool, patio, surrounding flower beds and lawn. No ants!!! For close to a month, no ants at all. I've never been this happy with my pool. Every time I look at it I marvel at lack of ants. At first sign of ants, whenever that may be, I'm right back here for more of this.

Only been a couple weeks but I've noticed a difference already.. Treated inside and out with a mix of Nyguard igr and haven't been bit by a mosquito since. Only seen one roach alive,and that was in the garage. 100% Southern Louisiana approved! I was paying $35 per visit from a local guy to come spray I payed $35 for both products enough to treat my house for a year!

I work in my yard & garden every day and since I have used Talstar P, I haven't gotten bit once! I used to pay for a pest control company to spray my yard for mosquitoes costing me approximately $100 initial fee & $60-$80 per month. Now I am saving a bunch of money by doing it myself. It is so easy to use. I purchased a sprayer from a big box store for under $10 and followed the directions on the Talstar bottle. This gallon will last me 10 years or more! Even my neighbor hasn't had mosquitoes since I applied it to my yard!
