Customer Reviews for Talstar PL Granular Insecticide

I bought for tick control. So far they have gotten worse. Maybe after my third application it will be better.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback! Ticks are found in highest numbers in dense foliage such as tall grasses where animals rest, so you may need to pair a liquid application for those areas where granules are not able to be applied to this kind of vegetation, leaf litter, etc. Step 3 in our Tick Treatment Guide has more tips about this application: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-ticks-a-489.html

Very unhappy... I thought it would work after reading all the reviews. Customer service said they would be dead before they entered my house.Not true. I wanted this to work so I could avoid putting poison in my home. Not happy.

I used this product early summer mainly for mole crickets. worked great. Seen them back in September, reapplied. We received 5" of rain 4 days later. The product didnot work as previously used. I guess user error, in apply prior to a large storm? Any way, have purchased another bag, and will see how it works, this time.

TALSTAR effectively kills ant mounds. However, the ants generate new, multiple mounds within a few feet! --Never-ending treatments!

This product is easy to apply and at least party effective. I have a severe ant problem this year (North Fl) and in all fairness NO product has been effective in controlling them. I am on my 6th different product. All of them have had some effect but none have totally controlled. I have only been able to keep them out of my house.

The slugs in my yard were in the thousands we used this and now they are out of the yard but building mole homes in an area up a 4 foot brick wall and in the dirt were we did not plant anything yet. Now we have to find away to get them out of there. We did put the product on that spot also the same day but they just stayed there

I purchased this product several years ago, applied it and no fire ants for a couple of years. Not the same with this application. I applied it about a week ago and several days later new fire ant hills reappeared in my lawn. I don't know what went wrong. Did the product content change or was the problem with the application? Not sure if I should order more or live with the results.

I got this for outside palmetto bugs. I haven't seen many dead bugs. They told me over the phone that tgey would be dead before they entered my home, which isn't true. I thought this would be a great product. I was very unhappy!

Not sure how good it is, it was recommended by a pesticide guy, we had ants eating into our swimming pool liner, so we mixed it in with the sand under our new liner

The stuff seems to work but probably won't buy again. It is very fine, like sand, and the average homeowner likely doesn't have an expensive commercial spreader. My Scotts edge guard doesn't adjust low enough and I am sure I threw down much more than needed, making it a waste of money. Rated 3 stars due to usability, and I have used more effective products.
