Bugs be gone!!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2020

Added a picture to show that's on the jug what it says that it can kill to to help you all.
It has no nasty chemical smell, does hurt your wood floors, but will kill the bugs on contact and help control them from running around your house. I use this every year on my home and it is great stuff. I do inside and out. And keep enough around to kill anything that might pop up (ants out of the walkway) just spray and your problem is gone.

Don't waste your money

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020

I am very disappointed in this product. First and foremost the sprayer stinks. I went online and found SEVERAL blogs from years ago complaining about the sprayer not working properly after the first use. The second use it sprayed. But like a stream of water from a hose, and only after replacing the batteries, which was within 2 weeks of the first use. Tonight (5 weeks later after purchase) my family found itself in need. Why? Spider activity which I thought would be taken care of after two sprayings. Tried to spray the spiders in house coming in by the sliding glass door only to find the sprayer not working at all. Replaced the batteries AGAIN! The second battery replacement within 5 weeks, and only two uses. The blogs say, "take apart the sprayer and soak it in warm water to clean in it", or "hold the container waist high and the the sprayer down." WHAT!!!! First of all cleaning it out after two uses, and only 5 weeks? Second I bought this to save money because I am disabled and on a fixed income, AND I CAN'T LIFT THE THING WAIST HIGH!!!

Let's just say I am not recommending this at all. Calling a pro to come back. Can't believe the sprayer issue has been known for years evidenced by the blog and THEY STILL HAVEN'T ADDRESSED IT!!!!

It is ok

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

Style: TriggerVerified Purchase

I found this product to be simply OK. I bought some at the store last year and it worked amazingly. But this one even though it's the same brand and says it's the same thing, does not seem to be working as effectively. I've noticed it's only killed certain bugs were as the one I bought at the store last year killed everything. And this one doesn't seem to be working as a deterrent at all.

So I'm a little conflicted about this product. Just seems watered down or something.

Seems a little better

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2018

Style: TriggerVerified Purchase

My husband and I bought this for our new house. We are experiencing big black ants and every type of spider imaginable. We moved from town to the country so they are everywhere. We sprayed once and but we are still seeing them from time to time. Better than dozens a day. There are still a huge amt out on our back concrete by our pool but I'm sure they will have to get into the poison before it kills them if its going to work. Seems worth the price compared to ther brands that our ridiculously overpriced. I DO know this will not work for cockroaches or earwigs...sorry only Orkin can help with those so save up!

NOT For Huge Pest Issue

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2019

Style: TriggerVerified Purchase

I waited a while before doing this review, as they say that dramatic results wouldn't be instantaneous. Had some neighbors move in above me and not long after I started to see roaches in my apartment. After using those bug foggers multiple times with no success I moved on to this product. I used this all over my apartment, including inside the vents, behind appliances, inside the cabinets, even outside along my apartment. While I started to notice a decrease in the daily critters I saw, it didn't last long. They started to come back as if I had never sprayed it. It also doesn't kill on contact. Almost as if the roach only dies because I drowned it in the product. Needless to say, this may work better for other bugs. And maybe because the people above me may be swarming in roaches and they just keep coming back. Had to call for a professional pest control service, and I use the plug-ins in my outlets that are supposed to emit wavelengths that keep them away. So I suggest only using this product for minor PREVENTATIVE measures. Not infestations.

Missing parts

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021

Style: Comfort WandVerified Purchase

I made sure the product I’m purchasing has the spraying device because I know they sell refills separately too. But It came without the “comfort wand”. I don’t have this part. You can’t use this without it so I was left feeling really annoyed. The product I ordered came but it was useless. I had to return it or that’s what the robot Amazon chat told me to do. It was not easy returning this heavy drum. Luckily there was Whole Foods nearby where I could return it, but I had to drive there out of my way. I just felt like I was being punished for someone else’s mistake. I am not sure how to prevent them from making the same mistake so I will not be ordering this from Amazon again. I might as well just drive to Lowe’s.

I used a smaller bottle version of this before and I think it works well. I just don’t think it has any preventive affect they say it has. It kills bugs but it doesn’t really prevent them.

The Spray Does Not Work

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020

Style: Comfort WandVerified Purchase

The spray did not work even after following all instructions and checking youtube videos to make sure I did not miss anything. I needed it for an elderly person's apartment and convenience was the main reason I opted for home delivery versus buying from the local Home Depot. In the end, I had to run out to buy a squirt gun so I could get started as soon as possible.

As far as effectiveness, time will tell. I emptied all shelves, drawers, etc. prior to spraying. It's been three days and I still see one or two little cockroaches when I turn on the light in the kitchen.

Did not work for ants

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2020

Style: RefillVerified Purchase

I brought this because of ant problem. I sprayed this multiple times around my house and on the outer walls but the ants kept coming. I also used it inside the house all around the base board. I don't see any other pests inside other than some centipedes coming out half dead so it may work for other pest but not for the ants.

Worked short time

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2020

Style: Comfort WandVerified Purchase

Not sure why it asks for warmth or thickness but gave that 1 star. Product was very easy to apply and i was quite pleased! Bugs dissapeared, especially the sugar ants for the first couple weeks but then the huge spiders returned and smaller ones began coming back, eventually ants too. Rain may have had an effect, but if that's the case probably shouldn't use this in washington!

It works but not for long…

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2021

Style: Comfort WandVerified Purchase

Bought this about 2 weeks ago. The first thing I did was spray it directly on a roach to make sure it actually worked. It died instantly. Good sign, right? Next I sprayed all the floorboards, behind furniture, etc. Here’s my assessment: I feel like it’s most effective when it’s wet (duh) but the next day when it’s long dry I’ll still see new dead bodies and no sign of them actively roaming. After the 2nd day post-spray, the roaches were back out and running around like nothing was there.

In conclusion: it works in the sense that it kills roaches but I wouldn’t recommend unless you feel like respraying every 2-3 days.

It works, kind of. Sometimes.

I like how it kills some small bugs and little spiders. I dont like big wolf spiders laughing at me after I hit them with it. It seemed to work much better in the past, o hosed my garage with it and still get copious amounts of spiders. Amazing how there technology progressed so fast from web weaving to gas mask and chemical protection gear.

Kind of works?

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

Style: TriggerVerified Purchase

We were finding 4-5 centipedes in our apartment A DAY (gross). I purchased this and sprayed about a month ago. We are on the first floor, but 7 steps off the ground. I sprayed the inside of my apartment on the floor boards and in the spaces between our brick walls and dry walls (there are huge gaps). The spray is scentless which was nice. We are still finding centipedes, but not as many (maybe 2 or so a week). So I would say it kind of works. I will likely spray again soon and see if that helps anymore.
