  I think we kind of lost track of the focus of this discussion. The shape of the bottle, however ugly may it be, is not important. The concentrate itself is effective at eliminating almost all insects you decide to use it on.
  
  Now, if the bottles shape is really disconcerting, then buy the other model of talstar bottle

  a concentrated liquid is added to the graduated area, the jug is tilted in order to transfer the concentrate to the larger area, which is then filled, probably through the cap on the handle side. The cap is replaced on the measuring side, and a sprayer is screwed onto the long side with the handle.

  Looks like the Bettix oval only uglier.

  pretty much all the pesticide containers in the industry are in this model. It's NOT NEWS.

  Hipstomp I think is a self proclaimed packaging designer because this bottle is not designed to be squeezed but rather tipped allowing the product to enter the dosing chamber. Very different from the other squeeze bottles referenced in the comments.

  If you geek out on that you should also look at the Act mouthwash bottle. You squeeze the bottle to fill a reservoir at the top. It really works well.

  You are perfectly correct in geeking out.
  Oh wait, I design packaging too.

  Nothing new really, other products have been coming in similar containers for years, I currently have 2 different bottles of this type, one is for 2 cycle engine oil and the other is also an insecticide for spraying on the lawn. Different bottle designs but both make it obvious which way you are supposed to pour from.
