    Fire Ants

    By Roscoe on 04/09/2012

    Verified Purchase

    We were getting ready to have a big birthday party for the Grandson and found too many fire ants to take the chance. We used the Talstar Xtra on the recomendation of a friend who is in the pest control business. We spread 50 pounds with the lawn spreader and didn't see one ANT at the party. Great product, Thanks.

    It really works

    By Ralph on 08/20/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Product is on the expensive side but works great, I have not seen an ant on my lawn since it was applied 2 weeks ago, it also seems to have killed the chinch bugs as I am seeing a change of the bald spots on my lawn.

    Talstar Granules

    By Robert on 04/14/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I put the granules out around the shrubbery and foundation of the house according to directions. I used the Talstar spray a month ago on the walls of the house. My roach problem has almost been elimintated. The Roaches I do see don't feel so good. Along with most other houses in Macon, last week we had our yearly infestation of redbugs crawling everywhere - except where that I had sprayed with Talstar. Good stuff and I like the lack of odor and ease of use. Make certain you have a good spreader.

    Talstar XTRA Granules & Do My Own Pest Control

    By Shawn on 04/19/2015

    Verified Purchase

    We have used Talstar for several years to control fire ants, ticks, and fleas. Living in Florida, this is a very important factor in our lives, to live bug free. This product works and keeps on working year after year. We will never use anything else, except we do use Talstar liquid to spray our house. Also, this company is the best, they have never disappointed us; we really appreciate their prompt service.

    "Ticks no more!"

    By Jenette on 05/02/2016

    After being diagnosed with Lyme disease a few years ago, I contracted with a pest control company to treat my lawn twice a year. I noticed that Talstar XTRA granules was the product that they used. I determined that it was more cost effective for me to apply this product myself, and found "DoMyOwnPestControl.com" on-line and have since purchased it from them. I apply it three times a year to my lawn and surrounding areas using a broadcast spreader. The original pest control company only used a hand spreader, and I really wondered how thorough they were in applying Talstar. It has worked out wonderfully and I believe that I have solved the tick problem and saved money, as well.

    Great Product

    By Jacksonville, on 01/28/2016

    Been fighting flees in the yard for 3 years. Tried the Lowes & Home Depot & Alternative Pest Control products. Nothing worked. Dogs still kept getting flees and lots of them. (Yes, I treated the inside of my house and bedding too.) (live in Jacksonville, FL so flees are year round, no hard freezes in 3 years.) My next door neighbor has had only 1 flee in 7 years. (one, probably from my yard) He let me use the last of his and it worked pretty well, just didn't have nearly enough for my yard. But the number of flees went down on my dogs. Therefore, Bought 3 bags, used only 1 full bag for my entire yard and within days of the application and bathing my dogs - NO FLEES on any of the dogs. WOW I now have a happy wife & dogs. And I couldn't be happier. Thank you. Great product. (the other two bags are for future treatments. I'm following my neighbors treatment plan which is the one recommended.)

    Use Talstar XTRA Granules! You won't be sorry!

    By Darlene on 09/14/2015

    Excellent! Got rid of ant mounds quickly and completely. With other products the ants just seem to move to another area of the yard. Not so with Talstar!

    Talstar Xtra for sod web worms in Texas

    By Gary on 05/12/2017

    This will be the 4th year using this product to control sod web worms. If the season is short (2 months or less) 2#/1000 sq ft works. If longer (meaning starts earlier) then use 3#/1000. Last year was longest year ever, 5 months June-Oct.

    This Really Works!

    By S on 05/06/2016

    I was somewhat skeptical about ever finding a granular insecticide that worked as well as diazinon did. But I gave this a shot based on the reviews. To my surprise it exceeded my expectations and within a few days I started seeing exceptional results. I can say I will be a regular5 customer with this product from now on.

    Does the job

    By Brandon4791 on 09/21/2016

    A couple years ago, we had a house built on some land that had been cow pasture for at least the past two hundred years. A few days after they sodded the yard, thousands of little ant hills sprouted up everywhere like the stars in the sky. The little guys were brazen in their attempt to enter the house as well. My better half and I felt overwhelmed and we called Terminix. A very kind associate came over and diligently applied Delta Dust all over the house and Delta G in the yard and charged us over $200. It was like shooting a BB gun at a freight train. Didn't make a difference at all. So I came to this website, did "Shop by Pest" applied the Talstar and two days later the anthills were gone. This stuff is easy to apply, not expensive, and gets the job done!!

    Talstar Granules

    By Cindy on 09/22/2016

    I love this product. I was intoduced to it 10 years ago by a friend who received rave reviews from his neighbors on how great his lawn looked. Granted this is not a fertilizer, but using it removes insects from your lawn and allows for a healthy, green lawn.

    Verified Purchase

    Product shipped the next day and received it within three days of purchase. Product was easy to use and instructions were very clear on the website. Product appears to have worked exactly as advertised. Used it for mole crickets that had set up a home in my backyard and they were attracting some very unwelcome garter snakes! Now, no crickets and haven't seen a snake either! Thankfully.

    Talstar Xtra beats Bayer product for control of sod webworms

    By Woodshoe41 on 09/06/2016

    Used the big box Bayer product for several years, had to repeatedly apply granules and supplement with spraying to get some control. One Talstar Xtra application of 2#/1000 sq ft has given 2 months total control (to date). Also no mosquitoes in our very wet summer in Houston, related or not, it's all good. Have converted 3 neighbors to Talstar past 2 years. Have enough to make second application if necessary in our wet-hot climate.

    Telstar granules

    By Don on 05/12/2015

    Verified Purchase

    Product was delivered very quickly and in good condition. Local pest control company said they use this very product with good insect control. But the price here was a fraction of having the local company come out. I used a hand held grass seeder to distribute the product around the perimeter of my house just two weeks ago. I suppose that is a little early to strongly endorse the product, but so far it seems to be doing the job. I recommend it.
