Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

This seems to be the summer of the scorpion in Central Texas. I guess the wet spring (thank God) contributed to the increased critter population. I ran across DMOPC site by surfing the web. I was going to have a "professional" do the job, but I couldn't see shelling out $100 for one application. After I read the Talstar P reviews I decided to try it. So far the scorpions seem to respect the barrier. I've seen two dead ones at the entrance to the garage. My wife found one dead in the utility room the next morning after the application. He must have been hiding under the washer/dryer. Again, he went to scorpion heaven. Talstar has no odor and it's easy to apply. I've used the Big Box store offerings before this with some results. I hope this stuff does a better job, so far it has. By the way, DMOPC gave me excellent service with prompt shipping. I'll be back!

I mix up 1 ounce per gallon of water which gives a .06 dilution. That is 20% stronger than Ortho Home defense (.05 solution) and unit cost of Ortho is about $14 a gallon at Home Depot. The stuff I mix up has a unit price under $2 a gallon. What a savings!! Plus, one gallon sprays my house twice. I spray about every 3 months, so I literally have enough concentrate to last years. I have given some to neighbors for a flea problem and it totally worked for them as well.

I had a pretty good infestation in my yard of chinch bugs. They were using the weeds like little umbrellas. Every time I pulled up a weed I could literally see 5 or 6 of the little buggers run. I have applied Talstar product as directed three times and I believe I'm beginning to see improvement. Only 2 or 3 run when I pull up a weed. As far as other bugs I'd say its a great product and protects the house well. Just hope a couple more treatments on the yard will get those chinch bugs.

Works as expected. I am very satisfied. I mixed one ounce to a gallon of water. I used it outside my home and it was very effective on spiders, red hornets, fire ants, crickets, grasshoppers and pretty much any other bug around the house.

I bought this to eliminate black widows and other spiders in my garage in Raleigh, NC. I have since used it all around the house, crawl space, ornamental trees, kids' playset, etc. It has apparently eliminated all spiders and other bugs from the garage, and I was able to vacuum up the debri in there and it is so nice. It is also a great bargain, since this 3/4 gallon makes YEARS of effective relief for my single-family home. I have since given some ounces to my mother-in-law and co-workers to help them at their home. Would buy again for sure.

We live on about 3/4 of an acre lot with lots of old growth pines, oaks, and gum trees. Lots of shade and grass for mosquitos. Tried everything from the Lowes brand insect kill to mosquito magnets to hiring a professional. The professional used a fogger and mint smelling natural chemical that kept the mosquitoes away for a couple days and the chemicals that he later used would work for about a day. Found that Mavrik insecticide worked okay (knocked down about 80% for a 5 day period) but still not the results I wanted for my wife and 2 young kids playing in the yard. Read the reviews on this product and gave it a shot. It's been wonderful. No mosquitoes for almost 10 days! NONE. That was a welcome change. It's been raining a lot here lately so it may even last longer without rain. Sprayed both my parents yard and my brothers yard and they both confirmed it crushed their mosquito problems too. Very pleased with this product and hope my yard isn't glowing from outer space from all the chemicals but this product sure does work. Thanks Talstar P! Hope this helps.

Mosquitos are the worst in Hyde county,N.C. than anywhere I know about, so after hurricane Irene, county mosquito control spraying was not enough. Heard about Talstar P from a friend that had used it for 2 years with excellent results on all type of flies and mosquitos. Marco Gibbs was right about it's the best he has every used and I total agree.It works above average.No more mosquitos problems if you used this product.

This product works well, but for fleas, you definitely need to mix with a growth regulator. I found out the hard way. It killed the adults, but I was still seeing a lot of them, once I mixed with the growth regulator I saw a huge difference. Will definitely use again.

We have bugs of all types here in Oklahoma...Talstar P (Talstar One) has proven to be an excellent barrier and eradicator. This product has no noticeable smell, dries quickly and has proven to effectively control every type of pest to cross the Talstar Barrier; I purchased this product to primarily control the Brown Recluse...I will continue to use this product because IT WORKS!

I've lived in Fl for 3 1/2 yrs and have fought the fleas and ants in my yard with every OTC product I could find, and with a professional lawn service ($35 per mo.!!) without sucess. After ONE treatment the fleas and the biting ants are gone!! Wish someone had told me about Do My Own Pest Control back then! Easy to apply, affordable, great product!

I used to have problems with ants in the kitchen and garbage can storage area. After using TalstarP, the ants stay outside and away from the garbage cans. I also had termite activity in a second story closet. I spray TalstarP directed in the "saw dust holes" eliminated the problem. Wonderful product.

Been using this product for 3 years now. Where I live there is normally ant problems 6 months out of the year. Since I started using this product, I simply spray the pine trees in the spring when the ants come out of the trees. This takes care of the problem for the rest of the year. I also spray around the house foundation. Does a great job on mosquitoes. Spraying the lawn twice a year takes care of the problem. You won't find an insecticide that is this effective at lowe's, Home Depot, Grange Co-Op etc.

I have been using the product for about 3 years.You can't watch this product work as you put it around the border of your house but there are no bugs in my house and that's good enough for me.

We purchased this to kill the box elder bugs & it is working great. It also kills the wasps. Would recommend this product to those having the same problem.

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.

Kind of dissapointed. Had to do about 3 applications before I stopped seeing ants in my kitchen. Also I was told this would completly kill them but i read somewhere that this product does not kill the nest as the ants dont bring it back to the nest because it kills them first. I really needed something that they would bring back to the nest to get rid of them for good

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.
