Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I had an infestation of grandaddy long legs or harvestman spiders last summer and I had the Orkin Man come spray them but I was not happy with the results, so I researched them on the internet and decided to try Talstar P on them this year when they came out. This stuff really works on them. They are gone now. 5 stars for this product. It didn't take very much to mix a gallon of liquid and I only needed 1/2 gal to spray all around the outside my house.

I've been using Talstar P for 6 years and it is by far the best all around bug killer ever. After I spray around the ranch, I see dead everything; fleas, spiders, scorpions, grasshoppers, beetles, and every kind of water related bugs ever seen. It's safe around all the critters, inside or out. Colorless, ordorless it's the best and if I could only have one chemical for pest control Talstar P would be my choice.

We live on a lake. As one knows the spiders are nearly uncontrollable. With this product we are and continue to be spider free. Would have to pressure wash the house twice in the summer due to spiders. Not anymore thanks to talstar.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Talstar gets the job done. Most effective in eliminating scorpions, roaches and pesky ants.  Nothing else is as effective.
