Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I bought this mainly to eliminate ant infestations in and outside of my house that usually occur during the spring months. I mixed about 0.8 ounces per gallon and sprayed the window sills and outside areas where the cement/siding meets the dirt. There's a small smell (could smell it even with a mask on) when you first spray, but it's gone quickly. From what I read, the chemicals hit the ants immune system and they die. In some places where I've had many ants in years past, there are only a couple and they look drunk - slowly walking on the countertop and eventually dying. The products seems to be working as described. It comes with a nifty small book that describes the ratio mix.

My daughter was a professional exterminator and recommended this company and product after visiting us in Texas. Our enclosed patio was under assault by legions of critters! After an application of Talstar, the only frequent visitor to our front door and patio is the Amazon driver!

We are so happy we found Talstar. All of the critters that we don't want around or in our home are gone!! Used as a monthly Maintenace, works great at keeping insects at bay. We found this amazing product in So. California, and it works just as well in our Texas home.

We are getting an infestation Jarro spiders. Talsar P worked excellent to help keep them at bay, better than any other pesticide. I was shocked that this product worked better than Taurus SC against the Jarro!

I followed the instructions and I still have mosquitos. It probably knocked it down by 40% in my opinion.

What more can you say about this product other than it being excellent. I decided to do my own outside mosquito spraying after I was getting less than stellar service from our local exterminator. They listed the pesticide they were using on the invoice and that gave me all I needed to start doing it myself. As far as DoMyOwn.com, they are top notch. Within 2 hours of me placing my order, I received a notice that it had shipped and I had it within a couple of days on my doorstep. Now, it may take a little longer to get to you, depending on your location, but they are located 2 hours down the rod from me, so I got it really quick. :)

I have been using this product for many years around the inside of my house about once every two months. It works very well to keep out unwanted bugs!

Use this around the exterior of the house with a 1 gallon pump sprayer. I spray the bottom 3-5 of the foundation of my house, along with around exterior lights where bugs collect. Kills great!!!

This concentrate is one of the best residual sprays I have used. Two applications a year is more than adequate to keep killing pests all year.

I bought this stuff because of the reviews & it's absolutely fantastic!! I sprayed this around the property & around the house & door entrances. Totally has kept all flies away! I couldn't believe it! I was skeptical but, this stuff absolutely works! No flies at all. I'll be using this for mosquitoes when they arrive. I recommend this to the disbelievers ! Use it ! You won't be disappointed. I'll be ordering 4 more gallons. Plus, the shipping was incredibly fast! I think I got this in 2 days after the purchase.

So I have used this for many years because my son recommended it to me because I was paying for an exterminator to spray my house every month inside and out and I still had bugs everywhere and this was just not my thing, especially when they are suppose to come in and take care of the problem. So when he recommended this because someone suggested it to him and he used it and worked so well I decided to order and try and stop paying for someone else. So guess what I tried, I liked. I also have animals and no problems (they come first). So if you are on the fence about it, IT WORKS WELL!!! Make sure you get it with the P on it, and this last years because you only need a tiny bit.

I've been using a fogger and liquid from a big box store the last couple years and noticed there are very few bugs for about a day or two after use but then they all come back in full force. I can't fog the whole yard every two days and I wanted to find something longer lasting, so I gave this Talstar a try. We live in coastal SC so it's very wet and marshy and we have a lot of problems with no-see-ums and mosquitoes from about March through October that make it very unpleasant to sit on the porch or play with the kids in the yard. It's nearly impossible to remove all standing water because we get the near daily southeast thunderstorms in summer. I already have a backpack sprayer and the Talstar was pretty easy to mix up, though it is thicker than you might expect and wouldn't drain nicely through the sprayer filter. I also added Nyguard but I expect it'll take longer before I know how effective that is. I sprayed all the shrubs/hedges and a few low hanging trees last weekend. It's been a few days and it is generally a lot less "buggy" in the yard and on the driveway. I've noticed very few mosquitoes. They're not completely gone, but it's more like "Oh, there's a mosquito" and not "OMG there's a cloud of mosquitoes in this bush". I expect this will even improve over time as they fail to breed or develop - gonna spray the Talstar again in a month. We do still have some small biting bugs. It's not as many as we had which is great, but I probably need to figure out where they're coming from or just treat the entire yard and not just the bushes. Overall I've been pretty happy with the Talstar. It's much cheaper than hiring a pest company, you can treat when and where needed, and it seems to be pretty effective.

I have been using Talstar for many years to rid my yard of mosquitoes. It works perfectly and keeps them away for two months, so I only have to spray about twice a year to be able to work in the yard without mosquitoes.

So far very trustworthy chemical used indoors for cockroaches every couple months. Was told by exterminator use same brand chemical together with a secret additive but alone works well for more constant use, the secret additive is for prolonged use, less constant spraying throughout year.

Guys, this is no joke, this thing works. After I used it the first time I haven't seen a roach yet. Since I got it I sprayed my apartment three times now and still no roach. I had roaches in the kitchen cabinets, kitchen counter tops and bathroom. The roaches were coming from the garbage dumpster which is close to my apartment, they were so disgusting. I was buying these products at Home Depot and basically wasting my money. Guys spend the extra money and buy this product, you will not regret it. It is worth the money

I bought a gallon of the Talstar P and have used it with the Mosquito Sniper system attached to my leaf blower and 4 gallon back pack sprayer. My neighborhood has been having major issues with Stink Bugs showing up in the houses. I sprayed around the garage doors and perimeter of the house especially around our kitchen vents. Now that it's warming up again they are on the move, but now every time I open my garage doors and look around within 2 feet of my doors there are 5-10 new dead Stink Bugs and curled up dead spiders that tried to squeeze past the Talstar P. It's amazing how well it's working everywhere around the house where I sprayed and bugs are trying to get in there are just piles of dead bugs I have to use my blower to get rid of. Highly reccomend this product, haven't seen many mosquitoes or ticks on my property yet either. Neighbors are getting them but not me or my kids in my yard.

I ordered Talstar on the recommendation from a friend that does pest control and It works great for inside/outside the home. I always couple it with a good IGR for outside and It does wonders for all pest especially my mosquito problem. I would definitely give it a try, If I had a mosquito problem or ant problem.

It kills a lot of insects. I would like that be stronger for Flys.

Works great on my carpenter bees. I run a business and have a cedar entry way. Every spring they are back. A single treatment with the Talstar takes care of them for the rest of the year.
