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.

It works

Would Recommend

It does work but you may have to reapply over mounds. I place some in April and we have mounds popping up in the yard so we have to reapply.

Works in gardens too

Would Recommend

The first year I grew pumpkins, I had what I call "stink" bugs around late august. They are gray colored with sort of a hard shell, have several legs, and like to sit in clusters on the pumpkin fruit. The second year, I put this stuff on and a local friend just a mile away had trouble with this bug again. I didn't notice any that year. Since then, I have been using it every year. The trick is to apply just before a rain. It really works better to water it in like they say.

Best thing you could ever do to your yard

Would Recommend

I have used this product on my yard for over 5 years. If you like to go outside in the evenings without getting swarmed by mosquitos, ants or ticks then this is what you are looking for. It is very easy to apply with a fertilize spreader or seed sower and you will enjoy an insect free yard for 3 months.
