Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

This does a good job on a broad spectrum of bugs. I doused the whole house and it took care of ants, spiders, and millipedes. I was also hoping it would take care of springtails but it didn't do so well with those. If you happen to spray your windows when going around the frame, it will leave a streaky mess.

I had issues with spiders hatching eggs and finding their way into my home - but when I sprayed with Talstar, the spiders became more and more minimal until they were gone. I even saw other little pests dead on their backs (ones I wouldn't normally see) This is a very good item and I do recommend it to anyone with little pest / critters.

The product came in the time frame specified. Directions were easy to follow and full of safety advice and emergency numbers. Application to the exterior was done via 4 gallon backpack sprayer. Following directions, all cracks, voids, window ledges, door openings and visible ant trails were sprayed. Also sprayed entire foundation area 1foot up the walls and 1 foot barrier on soil. Inside: Used 1/2 gallon hand sprayer and sprayed all visible ant trails, window areas, cracks, base boards, under/over counters and cupboards, door openings, etc. Pretty much every where ants might crawl. Within 3 days the amount of ants visible in the house disappeared. Still find a few piles of dead ants in corners and along base boards but nothing moving inside or out. No foul smell or odor. Follow safety sheet and wear eye protection when applying product as it is very easy to have the wind (outside application) or spray back (inside, product bounces off objects) hit your eyes. I plan to use this product as part of my routine pest control plan.

Needed something to take care of springtails, this took care of them plus spiders, stink bugs and a bunch of other bugs. Still killing outside bugs two weeks later. Best stuff I have ever used.

I highly recommend! This is my second purchase. Orkin use to use the same stuff on my property and I paid allot of money for it. Now I spray for about a dollar a gallon. I use it for brown recluse, black widow, scorpions, flies, ants, and fleas. After I got rid of the pest I would continue to spray evey 3 months around the perimeter to prevent re-infestation. I recently moved and encountered black widows and I have a toddler, I sprayed inside and out and fixed the problem. I have enough to help my friends and family with their bug problems as well. One tip for spiders- Brown Recluse Glue traps and lots of them, I bought the bulk box from this site and used them under sinks, cabinets, sofas, attic, garage and door corners. Talstar and glue traps solved my problem. At my work when I lived in OK, Talstar helped to eliminate two differnt infestations! One was stink beetle and the other were crickets, Approx 1000 or more. I sprayed on a friday and came back monday morning to sweep a carpet of dead crickets. Every day for the next week we spent the morning sweeping up dead crickets, it finally dwindled down to zero thankfully. This stuff works, I always use the 1oz to gallon ratio to get the maximum effectiveness.

Had a real problem with stink bugs this year in the Chattanooga, tn. area. Our home and cars were just covered with the little demons by 1:pm every day. Tried everything I could find locally at Lowes, home depot and nurshery to get rid of the stink bugs... No luck. Did some research on the internet and clled the University UT and was given a list of potential chemicals. Well to make a long story short 24 hours fter house attic and crawl space application... GONE! Sprayed the surround shrubs, plants and grass ...nothing in over 3 weeks. Happy Family

Been using this product for 3 years. I spray around house in 5 ft band (at least) and 2ft or so up exterior house walls; Once in march before I see any bugs, again about 1 month later in april. Then every 2 months rest of summer. Probably a little two much but I don't ever many insects (ants, spiders, etc), especially no ants in the house.

I love this stuff! Spraying a few time each year inside and out keeps the bugs out of and away from the house. We live in the county. Plenty of bugs out here! I spray under eaves , around the windows/doors and on the ground at the foundation. No more Wasp nests or Spider webs, no invasion of Japanese Beetles or Stinkbugs like we've had in the past. No bugs in the house at all! It's wonderful. All that and a great price! If you divide out the cost per application, it's only a buck or two! Shoot, that's darn near FREE in today's world! Good stuff!

I live in rural Matthews, NC and have been using this product for a year now and all I have to say, Talstar P is the best product ever. It has saved me a lot of time and money dealing with exterminator company. I had issue with earwigs while using exterminator company, but once I used Talstar P as instructed every 3-4 months this past year after the first usage I noticed a huge difference. So I give this product Talstar P 5 stars

This product does exactly what I wanted. I needed something to use around the house that wipes out a broad spectrum of pests, but I also wanted something I could use in my Solo blower for mosquitos. This it the stuff. I add some Demand CS to it for spraying around the perimeter and use it alone in the sprayer. Creepy crawly critters don't have a chance this year.

A friend mixed an ounce of Talstar with water and told me to use it to control my stink bug and ant problem and it works great. I live in New Windsor NY and tried numerous products from home depot and lowes and they all suck. I wish they would approve talstar in NY.

I performed the initial spraying of my home shortly after receiving this product. Easy easy to measure and pour using the bottle it comes in. It does not have a noticeable odor when mixed or when it is sprayed. The MOST important aspect of this product is that it works. I live in South Florida and I am always finding bugs that crawl into the house either under the doors or through open windows. I was constantly finding grub worms all around my house. I initially used a local service to spray my home every 3-4 months and for the most part it kept my home free of insects but did not want to continue the service for what i was paying. I looked around and did some research and found very good reviews for Talstar P so I decided to give it a try. i am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their home free of insects. Since completing my initial treatment, I have not seem one bug or insect in my home. Thanks Talstar P!!!

I highly recommend talstar p. It works as good as any of the higher priced pest control products. I like that it last for 2-3 months before having to reapply. It is also great that it is pet safe after it dries. Can't beat it!

Product seems to do the job issues with ticks in our yard have decreased. Also spiders around the house and barns have gone away. Time will tell how long it lasts. For now I would buy this product again.

I bought this product for mosquito control and applied it at a rate of one oz to one gallon in a one gallon pump sprayer. It worked great initially, but wore off much faster than the 30 days that the label indicated. The second application did not seem as effective. I do live on a river, but I still hope to be able to open my door without thousands of mosquitoes flying in. I will continue to re-apply as needed and hope for the best.

Sprayed for Mosquitos and it was very effective. Within 1-2 days, I noticed I had no activity around my lamp posts and no critters attacking me on my deck. It probably took out a lot more than just mosquitos, I'm sure, so purposely kept it away from the grass.

Every house I bought including my rental I use this product! In Florida bugs never die out due to winter so it can be a constant problem! After speaking to a pest control specialist he recommended this product ants, beetles, roaches, ticks, and fleas all gone! And since there is no bugs the spiders will leave too. I do recommend the Talstar P granules for a 2 foot perimeter around your house especially if you have a major ant problem. In conclusion use both all bugs and spiders are gone within no time!!!

After much research I found Talstar to be the best of both worlds - it is a safe product to use around indoor pets and outdoor wildlife and is amazing at keeping all sorts of bugs out of your house. It also is great on getting rid of fire ants. Do My Own Pest Control ships so quickly and I reccomend it to all my friends as the one place to take care of all your yard pests needs.

I bought this product because it advertised it was effective on stink bugs. The stink bugs at my house have been overwhelming and I didn't want to go through another year of them. I sprayed all around the house and entryways as the product recommend and have been very pleased with the results. We still have a wandering stink bug here or there but at least our sunny doors and windows aren't covered in them as before. I would definitely recommend this product for stink bugs.

After years of being viciously attacked by the Asian Tiger mosquito here in NC, I have finally found something that lets me go outside again. Our mosquito problem was horrible due to the mass amount of shady trees and shrubs in our backyard. We we would be surrounded by Mosquitos any time of day and would be eaten alive within minutes. I've tried the yard sprays, the professional foggers, fans, sprays, you name it. They did nothing. This spray, however, is amazing. I can't believe that I can go outside and NOT GET ONE BITE. I used it on my shrubbery, trees and mulch beds. Using just a pump sprayer I sprayed well making sure to really get the shady areas under bushes and trees and around the house. The next day we were outside and didn't see or feel a single mosquito. Found a few dead crickets and palmettos on the driveway near where I sprayed, so I know it's working on those too. So far, after a month I am still happy with the results. I don't often write reviews, but this product got me to enjoy my backyard again, and I recommend this to anyone who needs help from those horrible Mosquitos!

I've been using this product for the last 9 months with awesome results ever since the first spray. I live in southwest Florida and my house is in a heavily wooded subdivision so we had a lot of spiders getting in our pool area. We also had lots of fire ants on the property. After the first application everything disappeared. I do follow up sprays every 3 months and it's working great.

I started using Talstar last year to mainly kill Spiders & Ants. Found out that I wasn't seeing any bugs period, except dead bugs for a good couple months after spraying. We have an inground pool which attracts way too many spiders that get in and freak everybody out. Talstar fixed that problem. Also ant activity around pool ceased. I was afraid ants would eat holes in the liner because there were so many. Also the crawl space under house used to be full of spiders but not anymore. I highly recommend Talstar!

It has been a great long lasting product. I don't like using pesticide often but needed something that would hold up under the Florida sun. This does. It is a good all around pesticide and safe for animals if you let it dry before letting them into the yard, and of course use the proper safety precautions ourselves.

I would recommend Talstar One for all your insect problems. I have used this for years. There is no smell, dries with no staining and the ants or whatever will stay away for months.

Product came quickly and in good condition. I used the granules outside and plan to use this liquid for spot control outside and indoors if needed. It may be too early to judge its efficacy but so far it seems effective, and the price was very attractive. I recommend it.

This product was recommended by my home exterminator for fire ants along with other pests. I use it mainly for fire ants and it works well as they don't just move from where they are killed to another location five feet away. Good product.
