What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this pest control product for its effectiveness at eliminating ants, spiders, and other household insects, with many reporting dead bugs within days and sustained protection lasting weeks or months. The battery-powered wand is a standout feature, praised for eliminating the need to pump and making application faster and less tiring. Users appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to professional exterminators and establish monthly or bi-monthly spraying routines with consistent results. Some note limited effectiveness against roaches and palmetto bugs, and a few report occasional wand defects, but these are isolated concerns. Overall, most customers consider it a reliable, long-term solution worth repeat purchases.

This is the only thing that works to kill those nasty bugs & flies. Once I use this spray, I have protection for many months. There is no scent, and leaves no stain. I wouldn't recommend any other products.

False advertisement

Would Not Recommend

I tried this product hoping it would least prevent roaches from coming into my house but it did not do anything. It was a waste of money. May be it kills roaches from out of space but not the ones here on earth.

My personal exterminater

Would Recommend

I don't care about the look of the bottle it comes in. And I'm not a exterminater expert, so I can't give it a 5 star rating either, but after I used this brand, this is the only one I'll buy. I had ants, spiders, crickets, cockroaches and this got the job done!
