Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I used this product when I worked for Orkin, and have always had positive results with it. Great for humid climates, and as an exterior perimeter treatment.

Kind of dissapointed. Had to do about 3 applications before I stopped seeing ants in my kitchen. Also I was told this would completly kill them but i read somewhere that this product does not kill the nest as the ants dont bring it back to the nest because it kills them first. I really needed something that they would bring back to the nest to get rid of them for good

I have a house that had a problem with roaches comming in from outside. They were small and seemed to thrive in an area covered with gravel. I spread Talstar granuals in the gravel area and sprayed around the house with the liquid. It appears to have done a great job.

After trying the usual big box store fumigation products, I was ready to sign up a monthly contract with a fumigation company to take care of our residential bug population. While searching online, I came across this product. I watched the video and followed the application instructions. After one treatment, I'm happy to report I'm bug free!

This is my first time doing my own pest control hoping it would be easy and cheaper than a professional service. I researched this product for a week or so and read many reviews. The customer service here is great and very knowledgeable about the products. I purchased Talstar P mixed it up by the recommended ratio I had no apparent infestation of bugs I just wanted to protect my home. Well about two days of spraying there were dead bugs in places and that was about 20 days ago and it is still killing the bugs, beetles, spiders...ect you name it, it is Dead. My wife is very happy and that makes me happy. Online now to buy my neighbor and parents some.

Talstar P is the main go to product for most commercial pest control companies. It does work well. One word of caution. If you live in the desert where the direct sun can get 90+ degrees, or if you have a bad scorpion issue you may have to switch to an encapsulated product. Bifen is degraded by the UV rays when the temps get really hot. Scorpions are a tough insect to kill quickly. Encapsulated products seem to work a bit better for them. For the rest of us, Talstar P is a great all around product.

Before using Talstar P, I tried other insecticide products which were not effective. I had a yearly problem with chinch bugs which killed my St. Augustine grass. (I live in central Florida). I use a sprayer that dilutes the product and it's very easy to apply.

Product was shipped in a reasonable time. Jug measuring chamber is very useful for proper dosage assurance. Product seems to be performing well after first use (used the 1oz/gal of water concentration). Application was done with a standard two gallon Roundup spray jug with wand.

I have had Springtails for almost 4 months now. I have Orkin as my pest control company. This is the chemical they list on the back of their ticket along with the Delta Dust I purchased. I had my condo complex move my sprinkler head which was going underneath my AC slab in the dirt drawing moisture which was right by my 2 bathrooms. I have been using this once a week now for a month or so and also spraying under my one tub which I can get to and also under my AC slab outside and along the outside wall and windows. My main problem was in the bath sinks and tubs. Each day I see less and less Spring Tails in my tubs. I would recommend this for a lot of different kind of bugs. I think I am on the right track with this chemical.

The first time I used it, I mixed it as recommended. I did not see any decrease in the amount of bugs I saw. I waited a few weeks and doubled the strength of the mixture. This time it seems as though I am seeing more bugs than before! This stuff is a JOKE!!! (The only reason I gave it a star was because I could Not submit without it).

  Expert response:
Dear Iris, We apologize you are not seeing the expected results. Please let us know what you are treating for and where you are using the product and last, if you are using any other product in your treatment program. Some insects are a bit more persistent and take a few steps to eliminate (like bedbugs, roaches, springtails). We look forward to hearing back from you soon so we can help make your treatment program successful.

This product, along with Archer IGR has brought us some much needed relief from the flea outbreak we were having from our fur babies. It took care of the barrage of those unwanted Devils within hours...literally!

Great product. Use to use Cyper WP, but that was taken off the market, then used Demon WP, but that is now only available in small packets. Plus both of these products left a stain on dark surfaces. It appears that Talstar is much safer to use and dries clear. It is the same product that my current pest management business (soon to be former) uses. We live on a lake and have a lot of spiders. This has worked great. It has noticeably made a difference with other pests both outside and inside the house. Currently my pest management business only treated the outside area of our house and decks, primarily because of additional cost for the interior. I was able to purchase both Talstar P and Talstar granules for less than the cost of one pest management application and have enough for many more applications. Shipment was fast and easy.

Wasted lots of money and weeks of time using DIY store spray inside and out flea problem only got worse. After first treatment with this stuff inside and out major difference. Had to treat twice following label instructions and no more problem, with any bugs I will keep a gallon of this stuff on hand from now on. Don't waste your money at the DIY stores for chemicals do it once and be done.

2 years we hired a pest control company to help us with our issue with mice & spiders (of the recluse variety). Little did I know our problem would only multiply with their "help". They never sprayed behind things in our garage so they were basically only feeding the brown recluses. So we decided to cancel and take matters into our own hands with this product. I read online about effective insecticides for brown recluses and this was the one we chose. Our spider infestation in our garage was crazy! We used this product as directed around the outside perimeter & in the garage, along with vacuuming up spider webs & eggs that we saw. We sprayed cracks & crevices. The next day, we saw dead spiders & bugs by the garage door. I was so happy & feel so grateful that I can purchase professional pest control products & not have to depend on someone else to do it right. My fate is finally in my own hands! I love this site! This product costs the same as one month of pest control services, so it was well worth it to me!!!!

Use this product 3 weeks ago, cut the lawn and applied per directions covering my front and back yard plus all the flower beds. There was a heavy rain that afternoon and thought would need to re apply due to the soaking rain. I have not seen any fire ants , spiders, mosquitos and we are at 3 weeks. This time of the year, we normally could not relax out on the back patio without using heavy mosquito repellent. Very happy with this product.

Since our home is surrounded on all four sides by woods, we get a lot of insects. We also have a 1/2 acre pond, which additionally is a heavy breeding ground for mosquitoes. I had countless small ant mounds around the yard, June bugs, Japanese beetles, etc. You name it, we had it. I purchased the Talstar P and applied it over my entire yard and around the pond with a 30-gallon tow behind sprayer. I came out the next morning to check results, and it was like an Atom bomb ignited in my yard. Everything (Insects) was dead or dying. There were dead June bugs everywhere, all over my yard. I checked the countless little ant mounds around my yard and there were no signs of a single ant. I wanted to do a test for mosquitos. So, later that evening around 9:00 PM (prime time when Mosquitos are out), when the sun was dipping down and temperatures cooled right down, I went out to lay down in the hammock, which hangs under some trees right next to the pond. I laid there for about an hour and not a trace of a single mosquito! Normally, I could not lay out in the hammock past 7:30 PM or the mosquitos would eat me alive. The Talstar P took care of business. I like that it knocked out the June bugs too, as that will help out with controlling the grubs. This stuff is great, and a little goes a long way. I have enough in the jug to do another full treatment. Already recommending it to friends and family.

Been using Talstar P now for three years and I have found nothing on the market to compare it kills the bugs and the mosquitoes as I live in the country with a ravine right behind the house. To keep it short and simple it's the best stuff I have ever used! (I use a pull behind sprayer and last time put down 17 gallons)

I live in Arkansas and our background had a serious mosquito problem. We could not enjoy our backyard at all. My wife and kids would be eaten alive almost instantly. I started researching different things I could do to kill mosquitoes. First I tried the store bought end of hose spray (mosquito beater and off). That would help for about 3 days. I thought I could do better and bought a Burgess fogger. The fogger had less of effect than the end of hose spray. Finally I found Talstar P!!!!!! Sprayed on Saturday and by Monday we had zero mosquitoes!!!!!! Not only were the mosquitoes gone but literally every insect is gone!! I left a full open coke can on our deck and after a week there were no ants flies or anything around. It has been 4 weeks since I have sprayed and my family was out until dark and we only saw 1 mosquito! If you have a mosquito problem (or any insect) order this now!!!

We had an infestation of millipedes that seemed to originate from a bad lot of mulch. The millipedes were coming into our home from all directions. After I treated our flower beds and the perimeter of our home, the problem went away. Living in Florida, I like that this is also effective for treating our yard for mosquitoes (Zika), roaches (palmetto bugs), fleas and ticks (we have dogs).

Does any one know if this works on clover mites. If so what's the mixing ratio per gallon.

Tottally ineffective on millipedes in No NV! Have been applying at 2oz/gallon an no controland with the graniles! My "pest" guy who also uses this said that it is a waste of $ and time. Heat and drying conditions is the only control! THis is the 3rd year...I give up!!!

I used this for my shed that the Carpenter ants got to.  The Carpenter ants are now history (I sprayed inside the shed and outside all around the building and ground).  I am now spraying the outside of the my house and about 2 feet up by say 2 feet out from the foundation just in case, it did not harm the flowers or bushes, great stuff and a great value and it is shipped on time.  I was surprised 4 days and I was laying down Talstar P.

I can work in my yard without being attacked by mosquitoes! I am so grateful for this product. I haven't noticed any of the pests since I used this product and with all the rain we've had this year that is a miracle.
