What Customers Are Saying
The product's effectiveness appears to be mixed, with some users reporting it successfully controlled insects like ants and ticks, while others found it ineffective, especially against larger pests. Many noted it worked well initially but the pests returned over time. Some were satisfied with its performance, but a significant number were unhappy, stating it did not control insects as promised. The product's long-term effectiveness seems questionable, as its performance seems to vary depending on the specific pest problem and application.

No Observable Results
Would Not RecommendI applied the product as directed to my entire lawn including watering it. I applied it to treat grub worms and carpenter ants. I have not notices any decline in ants or found any dead ants. I don't think it kills any of them. Same thing at another house in the family. As fore the grub worms time will tell.
Very Effective
Would RecommendEasey to use and results are outstanding. Kill insects and keeps on working.
Use it Every Year
Would RecommendWe have been using this for years. We forgot to put this down one year and noticed a huge difference. We immediately went to Lowe's to purchase it.

Affordable protection for kids, pets and yourself
Would RecommendI have been using this product twice a year for a few years now and recommend this product to all my friends and family that do not already use it themselves. I do an application early summer when it starts getting warm and the ticks start to emerge and then again in the middle of summer when everyone else is REALLY complaining how bad the ticks are in THEIR yard. Helps get rid of ants and other bugs close to the house as well. If you have kids or pets, this is a necessity especially if you live...

Didn't work to kill the ants!
Would Not RecommendPurchased 2 10 lb bags to see if it would work to kill the large black and red ants in the lawn. Used a Scotts spreader and following the instructions on the Bug B Gone and after one week and they are still digging up the yard.

worthless product
Would Not RecommendHad a small 1000sq.ft. area in back yard resodded with Palmetto St. Augustine grass and followed landscapers directions to immediately treat with pesticide and choose Bug B Gone Max based on their claim of eliminating a broad spectrum of insects. Within three weeks of application brown spots began appearing in my lawn. I had a trained professional hortculturest inspect the lawn and determined I had a sodworm infestation. One the insects listed on the package as protecting against. I did another ...

Does not work.
Would Not RecommendI have used several applications of this insecticide and even above the recommended dose. It kills ants in the yard initially but they are usually back within a week. Very disappointing.

Works for me
Would RecommendLocated in Florida: I've been using this for a few years and can say that there is a decline in ant and bug population, and believe it or not; grass hoppers are less prevalent as well. I'd recommend applying this before a rain storm. I am not fond of having to spread this over my lawn but it does the trick for me. Also, I try to apply it early in the year before bugs have a chance to build up their population.
Dissappointed
Would Not RecommendI tried this product to control fleas as they are jumping on the dogs when we let them out. Used with a broadcast spreader and then watered the entire lawn as instructed. That was 5 days ago and there doesn't seem to be any decrease in the fleas population. May kill other insects but would not recommend for fleas.
