Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I have used this for many years for a wide variety of insects. It's the only one I have found to kill spiders effectively. All other things listed are true also. You just can't beat this product. The neighbor had a bad infestation of fleas in his yard and his dogs were suffering. I recommended this product and the problem was totally resolved and the dogs were fine.

I bought Talstar P Professional based on the recommendation of a friend. We both own lake homes and fight spiders all summer on our boat lifts, docks and the exterior of our homes. I applied Telstar at the first sign of a spider web. I have been impressed with the reduction of spider activity. I will keep applying on regular basis.

I live in Dorchester County, Maryland. If you're not familiar with that area, I'm just miles from Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge which is basically a large swamp. Mosquitos can be HORRIBLE. There have been times where just running out to throw something in the trash can result in getting swarmed, literally SWARMED with mosquitoes of 30+. I have 3 acres which is mostly grass, but I'm surrounded by woods/swamps. There are over 300 acres of flooded woodland and swamp around me so I had severe doubts that spraying for mosquitos in just my little section would do anything at all. The reviews I saw here were promising and I figured even if it didn't help with mosquitos, it could still be good for other creepy crawlies getting into my house. I mixed 4 ounces of Talstar P into my 4 gallon backpack sprayer and got started. I sprayed all around my house, patio area, all bushes and low hanging trees and even on grass areas around my immediate home. The following afternoon I walked outside with no bug spray and waited. And waited. And waited. I saw MAYBE two mosquitos. I couldn't believe it. It's been 1 week no and still, it's difficult to find a mosquito! I don't know how long this will last for, but I'm impressed and plan to spray again in a few weeks to keep this up.

I got this product to spray around our house, since we had probably 50+ spiders all around and spider webs would be like a net for the leafs and dirt that wind would bring into, so it always looked dirty. After just using 2oz of product mixed with 2 gal of water, I was able to spray all around our house (3000sqft) and it was even some left to spray on edge of the fence. 5 weeks in, I haven’t seen one spider or any other bug around. Super happy with this purchase and definitely would recommend anyone. Works like a charm. 👏👏👏

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.

Talstar has solved my backyard/patio mosquito invasion. Had to reapply after 2 weeks initially, but this stuff works like no other product I've ever used. Ever summer I've used "Cutter " (from the big box stores) every 2 weeks or so all summer long, but was still bothered by mosquitos. This stuff WORKS!!!

Mix Talstar P with NyGuard IGR for fleas infestation. It took about 2 weeks for full results, because of the fleas life cycle. Excellent product.

I've now used this product 3 years or 4 years in a row for a men's event at our church. We have a campout that is next to a lake and wooded property. 5 years ago we were inundated with mosquitoes that didn't seem to care about mosquito spray or citronella. Since buying and using the Talstar P, we've had no mosquitoes. I typically use a friend's sprayer that is in the back of his UTV for the grassy areas and use a pump sprayer for bushes and trees.

I learn to rotate this out so the pest don’t get immune to this. Works great. Spray and look at all bugs and spiders dead next day.

Sprayed Talstar P around the perimeter of my yard, house. Sprayed under my deck along with trees. It worked to reduce the amount of gnats and mosquitoes. I was able to walk around outside without being swarmed. It says it last up to a month, I would say about two weeks. I’ll take that with the amount of bugs this summer.

I have been using this product seven years now. Before my husband passed, he taught me how to properly apply it. The product is amazing. We always had dogs and it is dog friendly for sure. I would never think of hiring someone to spray for bugs in and around my house because this is amazing how it keeps on working. If applied properly, it works for such a long, long time, sometimes I forget to apply it and realize it’s been awhile and it’s still working. I’ve shared this with family and neighbors. They also love it.

Been using Talstar P for years, as a home owner, I saved many $$ over a commercial applicator. I live in Florida, the insects are hardy and numerous.

Excellent product, low odor. Could not even walk from the house to my car or back & would just be eaten by mosquitoes. Also killed fleas. Sprayed it in evening so as not to kill any bees & my bees are still happy & no mosquitoes.

Since I have sprayed the outside of my home I haven't seen an ant or pest ...etc. inside my home. It has been only 4 weeks. I have found dead crickets etc. outside! I'm expecting it to last the rest of the season!

Got rid of my ants and spiders in my garage with one application - an excellent product that does a super job.

I ordered a quart of Talstar P, which is a great product. At the time of my order the Southeast had experienced a major snow storm. DoMyOwnPestCrontrol sent an email and kept me advised on the situation until the product arrived. This was above and beyond what I expected.

My order was handled flawlessly and quickly, however I have not yet used Talstar P because it is still winter. I just wanted to get the product before the summer rush.

I called Michael to order another small bottle of Talstar. He told me about the special pricing on the 3/4 gal. Excellent service! Thanks Michael for this tip and also for all the other help you offered in our dealing with termites up in the attic. So far, the Boracare & Termidor are working even through the swarming season. We continue to refer everyone to you.

I have been battling little black ants in my kitchen and bathrooms for the past three years. The stuff from the hardware stores was very little help. Now I have used Dominion 2L and Talstar P around the perimeter of my house and also on ant nests in the mulched planting areas and the ants are gone! The Talstar P is a great deal and can also be sprayed around the baseboards indoors for controlling other pests.

We have been fighting ants for years. A friend of mine told me about Do My Own Pest Control and Talstar P. After one application we have no more ants. After 10 years of fighting ants every spring and summer, they are gone! Amazing. Not to mention it is cheap and easy. Again, amazing!!

Before using Talstar, I had millipedes invading my home. After just one application, I became a mortician, sweeping dead millipedes from my garage and patios with none in my home. I intend to use the granules to further eliminate them from my property.

I got great service from DoMyOwnPestControl, the product arrived early in perfect shape. Talstar One is based on Bifenthrin which is a pyrethroid insecticide that affects the nervous system of insects. It is a great general insecticide that will kill most insect in and around your yard including termites. Bifenthrin is virtually insoluble in water with a solubility of 0.1 mg/L. Given its low solubility, bifenthrin has high persistence in soil with a half life between 7 days and 8 months. It is the longest residual termiticide currently registered on the market today. Talstar One is highly toxic to fish since it is also an ATPase inhibitor. Aquatic vertebrates are much more sensitive to ATPase inhibitors than terrestrial vertebrates due to their high dependence on ATP synthesis in the gills to maintain osmotic balance. Talstar One is also toxic to most dogs and pets until it dries. For yard treatment where animals are kept, I would not let them back in the area for at least 12 to 24 hours. For Treatment I would cover your skin, wear eye protection from mist or slash and wear a certified respirator during application. I wear a heavy shirt with rubber gloves that goes up to my shoulders and jean. Once complete, just for safety, I take a shower after the treatment. It is a great product, I use it once a month on my yard with great results, but remember this is a commercial grade product with 7.9% of Bifenthrin and must be treats with much more safety than low grade chemicals from Walmart or Home Depot.

I am amazed with the Talstar! We are in an area (my home and work) with box elder trees all over the area. I used your product at both places and cannot believe that the box elder bugs are nearly all gone. I am very impressed with your product and would recommend it highly.

Good product, prompt delivery! Battling stink bugs in Virginia. I don't know if we are winning the battle or not. These critters are everywhere and awfully hard to kill, but this stuff seems to work better than anything I've tried so far. They don't drop dead immediately when sprayed but most do keel over in a few hours. If the goverment released these miserable pests to control lady bugs as the rumor has it, then they better turn loose of some DDT before they destroy all our homes and crops!
