Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I've spent approximately $400 pr yr, for 10 yrs, paying an exterminator to "wash" my house (pressure spray) to keep pests out for the spring, summer, and fall in NE Ohio. Right around spring it's extremely important to treat the house as a means of deterring stinging insects from establishing nests on your property. The old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" ( Ben Franklin) certainly applies here. In June of 2013 I moved to a much larger property and the exterminator's fees went WAY up. I figured that I could buy the same equipment and do the job myself. The theory was a couple of years it would pay for itself. So I went online and found this site on Google, I called the number for advice and read the reviews. It would appear that Talstar P was the way to go.... in fact this $28 product might be what the exterminator was using all those years. I bought a Solo 451 and TS1... the results have been Incredible! I have a one acre lake and creek, lots of water, lots of mosquitoes....not any more. I've sprayed 6 gals of solution over 5 acres and the bugs are gone! I've sprayed my fishing dock, patio, exterior of home, shed , around tree line, ect and I have at least accomplished what I was paying the exterminator $400 for. So, for a mostest investment (you dont need the backpack blower) and $28 I've saved about $600 per year. AND i have to admit... playing with the blower is a lot of FUN. LOL PS in my case a dilution rate of 1 ounce per gallon: It would appear that "6 ounces of Telstar is worth $600 in savings". :)

Sprayed Talstar outside up sides and out several feet from house resolved mosquitos, which is good because I constantly walk out of house with vacuum containers of fleas. Talstar indoors around baseboards/cracks did not do much for fleas. It cannot be used to broadcast spray indoors so I used Demize EC/Precor for that several times which did not work either. Permethrin can be broadcast sprayed indoors and does help with fleas.

The northwoods had the worst infestation of mosquitoes in the 25 years we have summered here. I heard about this product from a neighbor. I used their 4 gal. backpac (easy to use even for small women) and the Talstar product....We used our patio that eve for the first time in a month. We were having lots of people coming and I thought of having 6 adults, two large dogs and 4 girls in and out of the house, and thus a house full of mosquitoes..Horrible! This product saved my sanity...I havent had misquitoes for over a month with one application..and its safe for all flora and fauna. I took 2 hrs. spraying everything I could even the flora down the road to our home...

I had an issue with white footed ants (small black ants). They came in marching order and walked up the outside of the house, nothing I used worked....UNTIL I USED TALSTAR... The first application and they were gone... It was amazing!

Talstar has helped control "Tawny (Rasberry) Crazy Ants" at my residence in Galveston County. Nothing probably will eliminate them. The Talstar seemed OK to use indoors and on trees. It left no visible stains. I have applied it around the exterior perimeter of the house and garage more than once - it goes a long way.

We have a large population of Katydid's on and around our home. My husband sprayed 2 feet up the brick and 3 feet from the house. It worked great and is still working a month later. I would reccomend this product.

We live out in the country so we get a lot of bugs coming in. This year it was millipedes, I had never even seen a wormy bug like this before , but they seemed to like our house, and we would kill about 10 a day, Bought this, watched the video, sprayed inside and out, no more millipedes, in fact no more bugs in the house at all...Yippee! I love the wide variety of bugs it kills, super easy to use, doesn't stain, quick, painless..and best of all...no bugs!! Love it!!

Couldn't step outside without Asian Tiger Mosquitos on you within 20 seconds. They were everywhere and awful at all hours of the day. We would never sit outside on the patio because we were being eaten alive. Couldn't take our infant daughter out for a dip in her little kiddie pool because they were everywhere and relentless in their attacks. I didn't want to pay one of the local mosquito squad companies to come out and spray and charge me their high fee monthly, but i was on the verge of doing it. After a little research, I decided to attempt it myself first, so I found the reviews for Talstar. I was very skeptical, but decided to give it a try. I applied as directed along base of foundation, along property lines, shrubs, ivy, flower beds, under shed. etc. in one evening after work. I mixed and used about 6 gallons total at 1 oz. per gallon. Probably took an hour and a half to spray with the basic no-frills pump sprayer I ordered at the same time. By the next afternoon they were gone and we haven't seen them in 3 weeks at time of this review. We are finally able to enjoy being outdoors in the evenings. I regret not looking into this stuff sooner, it works great. Will re-apply monthly and this 3/4 gal bottle should last me a long time.

You would not believe how bad the mosquito's were this spring and summer. A friend told us about your product and we ordered a gallon. It's probably the greatest product I have tried in a long time. Even after a rain the mosquito's were gone. Thanks to you our summer was saved and we could enjoy the outdoors again.

This company is terrific. I did my own extermination quickly, easily and efficiently. I moved to a new location on July 1st and saw some big waterbugs for the first few days - until I contacted your company and received my shipment. One spray in susceptible areas and the bugs are gone. - with no health hazard to myself or other people.

Have applied one heavy dose externally per directions and the ants that were living it up on the over the counter stuff are gone! I'll apply inside and out periodically.

I recently moved to a rural area right next to a forest. There were bugs all over the place, including some scary huge spiders. I did some research and decided to try Talstar P. I applied it around the perimeter of the house 2 months ago according to the directions and the video instructions on this site. We have had almost no bugs in the house since the application. I can actually see dead bugs along the areas that I sprayed. They walk a couple inches across the barrier and stop dead. Amazing stuff! I'm going to re-apply every 3 months and don't expect to ever have a bug/spider problem again.

purchased product which arrived with a damaged box - emailed company, replacement arrived ASAP -fabulous! sprayed Talstar P on roof, down chimney, exterior of house, 3' on ground away from foundation. I was especially focused on Stink Bug eradication - after 1 week there is a huge reduction in number of bugs, will spray again as directed Product is great, stink bugs died and I can open screened windows and doors without fear of invasion. did not spray on windows as one reviewer suggested . thank you chemists!

We had tried so many fire ant poisons. But none of them worked. Telstar has completely destroyed their domain. We have no more fire ants. A lot of our friends have tried it and they say it is the best they have ever used. We will never waste money on the other brands again.

you wouldn't believe the black widows that showed up dead just after I sprayed! Sprayed under a mobil home and in a couple of sheds, did a great job! no more ants in the yard, and didn't harm the plants or stain the side of house, cement, or block work.

I have used this product 3 years now. I have very few bugs in our house or garage, just 2 or 3 spiders a year. This also helped me with wasps nesting in our overhangs of the front and back porches. I spray (April, July, Sept.) a ground perimeter around the whole house and then go around the ceilings of our porches for the wasps. Easy application with any hardware store sprayer. Great product, and I save big bucks not using the 'professionals'

I love love love this product! I found it a couple of years ago when trying to wage the war against stinkbugs that overtake our area in late September. I just put in in a pressure sprayer and add the recommended amount of water. It's so easy. I spray the entire outside of my stone home with it and every time a stinkbug lands on it, I can rest assure that in a few hours it will be dead. It dries very quickly so it is safe to use around my animals. The only thing that could make it better, is if they would die on first contact. It is the best product I have found by far for killing those nasty bugs!

I read the reviews on here and I decided to give it a try. This was my first year living in my new house which hasnt been lived in for the past 2 years and some bugs had made homes within it. I had carpenter ants coming in through unknown places and centipedes showing up in the basement. I sprayed this around the outside of the house and around the floor and ceiling of my unfinished basement and with repeating treatments every 3 months I have a bug free house! What's even more unique is that I know family members that work for the company (FMC) that makes this insecticide so you feel kinda proud.

Last year, from September through October, there were 50-75 stink bugs crawling all over house - siding, windows & doors, soffits - everywhere, all day long. 2011 was worse with 70-100 stink bugs on any given day. (I live in Central Jersey.) This year, on Sept. 15, I got out a ladder and sprayed Talspar P (Talstar One) - using a 1-gallon, hand pump garden sprayer - all over our siding, around windows & doors, soffits, edge of foundation and siding, garage doors - practically anywhere they would try to get in. Over the next week, I saw no more than 4-6 stink bugs at any given time - and they didn't stay around - they were always gone in 5-15 minutes time. 4 or 5 days after spraying, I looked out a second story window onto the garage roof - and there were dozens of dead stink bugs on the roof! It's been 4 weeks now (I planned to spray again after 4 weeks, but time and weather didn't cooperate) and I have not seen a stink bug anywhere on our house for 2 weeks - a few dead ones on the ground around the house, but that's it. As I said - Talstar P just works! Stink bugs begone!

My first use of Talstar has stopped insect infiltration within a day! I was very pleased with the control this product has. I reads to use once a month, which I will do, however, I feel it would probably last a lot long than that. A big problem here in Nevada is roaches, they find moist dark places, like the turn off valve for our water which is in a well and always moist. Once application was all I needed. Thank you!

I treated complete exterior of our home with Telstar-P according to directions. It's difficult to guage exactly 1,000 ft for a gallon and I used a little more than I had figured. But, still have a lot left for subsequent treatments. Local Pest Control companies want about $80.00 per quarterly treatment after about $125.00 for an initial treatment. My entire order of product, pump sprayer and hose sprayer was paid for with my initial treatment! Now, I'll be saving about $320.00 in the year based upon quarterly treatments that I already have on my calendar. AND, it is really effective at killing bugs!! Great Product. So glad I did a BING search and found DoMyOwnPestControl.com!!!

I can't say for sure, but by spraying my leylands and surrounding area around pool every few weeks seemed to have dramatically reduced the mosquito population. It was a very wet season last year. This year will tell the tale.
