4.7 out of 5 stars
DOES NOT WORK ON SPINGTAILS
By Jake in Dover, PA on 06/13/2015
Terribly disappointed with this product. From all the raving reviews about how this is the one product that kills most all bugs including springtails, I was confident I had made the right purchase. …

Expert response:
Because Talstar P is a residual product, it may take 30 minutes or more to kill individual insects because of the mode of action. Springtails are an extremely prolific pest that can be quite difficult to treat. To fully eradicate them, you will need to identify and eliminate the moisture source that is causing an ideal situation where they can breed. You can read more information on our Springtails page (scroll to the bottom for the article): http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/springtails-c-160.html We are also happy to discuss your situation over the phone at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

No match for florida ants
By Enero in Homestead, Florida on 11/16/2015
Thought this product would help solve my problem with black ants inside the home. We sprayed everywhere both inside and out and waited several weeks and found no improvement
Expert response:
While Talstar is a great product it is not always able to eliminate an ant colony unless you directly spraying the mound or nest. This is because ants only send out a very small portion of the colony to forage at a time. The majority of the ants stay inside the nest or mound raising a new generation of ants. So while the foraging ants may be killed, new ants are already being reproduced to replace them. When the nest or mound cannot be treated directly it is important to use a product that will be carried back to the colony such as an ant bait or spray like Phantom or Termidor (can be used outdoors only). PLease take a few moments to read our Ant Treatment Guide to learn how to implement a successful control program <br> <br> http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-ants-a-462.html

Not happy
By Teona in North Charleston South Carolina on 03/17/2018
Not killing the roaches very disappointed in this product
Expert response:
We are sorry that you are not seeing the results you expected from Talstar P. We do recommend using a roach bait gel and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), too, in additional to good sanitation and exclusion for the most complete roach control. We see that you already purchased Advion Roach Bait Gel, and that product will transfer to roaches hiding in places where sprays cannot get. We have more great tips in our Roach Treatment Guide here: https://www.domyown.com/how-to-get-rid-of-roaches-a-458.html Talstar will kill roaches that you spray directly or that come into contact with treated area, but if the population is already established, most of those roaches are hiding and reproducing quickly in wall voids and other areas where the spray just won't reach them on its own. We are also happy to assist you with your situation by phone at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

Carpet beetles
By Michael in Boise, ID on 03/02/2017
Didnt kill them at all. They just kept crawling around and there werent any fewer of them.
Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback! Carpet beetles can be a tricky pest to eliminate because they hide well and can multiply very quickly. Be sure to vacuum thoroughly and regularly (several times a week is best) in any areas where you see carpet beetle activity. The larval stage of this insect feed on organic materials such as pet dander and animal fibers like wool, so cleaning to eliminate these food sources is crucial to eradicating this pest. We would also recommend using an Insect Growth Regulator such as Gentrol IGR along with Talstar to help interrupt the breeding cycle of this pest. You can view additional tips here: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/carpet-beetles-c-141.html (Scroll to the bottom for the article.) Please feel free to call us with any questions at 866-581-7378. We appreciate your feedback and your business!
