Good Stuff

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.

kills chinch bugs
By Linda on 04/01/2015
Verified Purchase
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.

Satisfied
By I on 04/07/2015
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.

Talstar P
By Vikki on 07/05/2015
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.

Talstar P (Talstar One)
By Jim on 07/20/2016
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.

Talstar
By Mark on 05/14/2017
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.

Atom Bomb for pesky yard insects!
By Don on 06/06/2017
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.

Talstar P-Gallon

Simply the best
By John on 06/28/2017
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)

Talstar P
By Daniel on 09/02/2017
I bought this because it is supposed to kill spiders. I live on lake Erie and we have tons of spiders that weave webs all over the houses and cars. I followed the directions, sprayed my house and inside my garage down. Never killed one spider nor did it repel them. Seems I wasted my money.

Mosquito Control
By Bjl on 09/23/2017
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!!!

Carpenter Ants and other Bugs
By Tb on 05/05/2010
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.

Great for mosquitos
By Jim on 08/04/2010
We had a terrible mosquito problem because of all the rain this year. I sprayed this with a Chapin hose end sprayer #6004 and there are no more mosquitoes. I am amazed at how well it worked. It's been about 2 weeks and still no problem.

Beats Bad Bugs Good

We're having the stink bug infestation, here in Maryland, and Google researching turned up Talstar P and DoMyOwnPestControl.com. I sprayed around the outside perimeter of my house, around windows and doors, and various spots in my basement. Within 2 days I noticed, not just the stink bugs dying, but also various other creepy crawlers in my basement dead in their tracks. I highly recommend this treatment. I will continue treatment after the weather gets warm again next spring.

Still have midges
By Phil on 03/19/2011
Verified Purchase
Where we live in Central Florida we have a very serious midge problem. The professional exterminator, Clarke, has sprayed with some success, but still the midges are not under control. I went online to search for a chemical that would not only kill the midges, but have a long lasting residual effect. Unfortunately, Talstar didn't have any long range effect - maybe 2 or 3 days at the most. Not worth the $32 per pint price for the control of midges.

Sidewalk ant control
By R. on 04/09/2011
I used both the mound drenching (with a 2 gal. tank sprayer) followed up with a hose sprayer treatment of the yard. I had a driveway infestation you would not believe and ants under the slab of a 12' x 22' shed. It has only been several weeks since treatment, but so far, so good! A lot cheaper than having it done. Last year, I had the shed "treated" for $125.00! I did this and the entire house and yard and still have more then 1/2 gal. of Talstar One left. I thought, for the price, it was worth a try. At this point, I am happy with the result. I live in central FL, ants love this place!

Kills Sri Lanka Weevils
By Joseph on 04/15/2011
I bought this product because I had an infestation on my Meyer Lemon tree of Sri Lanka Weevils. I went to UFL's website, the authority on agriculture, and they recommended Talstar P for major infestations without any promises of results since not much research has been done on these new invasive pest. So I tried it out and I'm happy with the results. The weevils didn't drop dead on contact but by the next day they were all gone from the tree. We have had a couple good thunderstorms and the Talstar is still holding up on my tree. Not a single weevil in the last 3 weeks. New leaves are coming in, no new notching, and no weevils. I also tried it on some wasps nest with the same results. They don't drop dead on contact, it takes a few minutes, but they haven't come back to reoccupy their nest 3 weeks later. Also sprayed on the outside and inside of my house to keep out the ants. Since then most of the ants that make it in my house are dead along the baseboards and the few that are alive won't be for long.
