What Customers Are Saying

USELESS!

Would Not Recommend

I applied this product to my lawn about 4 weeks ago according to directions. I used the entire bag which is supposed to cover 20,000 sq. ft. My lawn is about 12,000 sq. ft., so I assumed I applied more than adequate coverage in time for the summer bug onslaught. I now have 3 separate patches of dead St. Augustine grass caused by sod web worms which this product is supposed to kill. My lawn is full of moths! Yesterday while mowing the lawn, I noticed several cockroaches running to get out of the ...

Didn't kill my insects...

Would Not Recommend

Usually when a product such as this one does not work, the manufacturer or supplier will claim you did not use as directed. I can assure you I used this product as directed... but it did not kill the insects in my lawn. I even purchased additional bags and followed the directions to the letter. Still did not kill the insects.

EFFECTIVE!!!!!

Would Recommend

I love this product. With dogs coming in and out of the house and family in the yard, it is nice to know that when this is applied, it cuts back on the amount of ticks, chiggers and flea problems that get dragged in. It really does work!

Bug-B-Gon MAX is a winner

Would Recommend

I have purchased Bug-B-Gon from Lowe's before and have been extremely satisfied with it's effectiveness on my lawn. I am pleased with Lowe's ad's and the good customer service when shopping there. When my husband, a Marine Corps veteran, uses his military discount at Lowe's, he is very often thanked by the cashier "for serving in the military." We do not expirience better customer service anywhere else.

Killed Nothing In My Yard

Would Not Recommend

In early spring used the first bag to prevent then 4 to 5 weeks later used another bag to protect. The stuff DID NOT WORK! My little dogs got fleas and ticks every time they went out . One of my dogs got a tick on her They now can not go out at all until we spray the yard and wait for the spray to kill all the nasty things! One of my dogs got a tick on her one night and by the next day when we found it, she had a whole in her little leg. The dogs have to use rainy day potty pads and that is not ...
