What Customers Are Saying

The product is effective at quickly killing a variety of insects like ants, flies, and mosquitoes on contact. The formula has a pleasant lemongrass or vanilla-like scent, unlike harsh chemical smells. Many customers appreciate the more natural and less overpowering fragrance. The product is marketed as safe for use around children and pets, which is a major selling point. While a few customers noted an oily residue, most found it easy to clean up and were satisfied with the product's benefits.

Good product, pet safe

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. We have a big ant problem especially during the spring and summer months. I haven't gotten to use this very long but so far, so good. I need my products to be safe for pets and kids as I have both so this is just what I needed. The scent isn't too strong or unpleasant which I appreciate. So far no ants at the entry point we usually have issues with.

Yes, I would. It smells like gentle Vanilla lotion.

Would Recommend

It has no crude smells or taste. High quality pleasant spray bottle that is reliable ,not awkward to put away. Safe around kids & animals. It smells like a gentle vanilla detergent. The spray solution is soft ,non- chemical at all. A long way from the RAID spray cans. But, the spray does leave an oil that is very easy to clean or wipe around the bathroom sink after use . Not for permanent bug removal ,this is for temporary and not addressing the deeper problem .But ,it will save the day. The pri...

Attracts Bees!

Would Not Recommend

I purchased and used this in my RV for a spider. Within 30 minutes of spraying the area the spider was in, we had a couple dozen bees swarming to get to it. I think they could smell the lemongrass. I thought it would be a great product because we were in tight quarters and have two dogs, but it ended up being a huge hassle to clean it up so the bees couldn't smell it and get the bees to leave.

This is NOT poison.

Would Recommend

This product killed on contact. The trick may be to find there they’re coming from and spray into it. That way, you get them trying to come out too.

It leaves an oily residue!

Would Not Recommend

We have cats and bought this for it's pet friendly rating. We applied a light mist in corners and other key areas. After checking on it to ensure it dried we were surprised to find an oily residue. Fortunately we had not applied to any rugs or carpeting as we cannot imagine what the oily consistency would have done to them. It's going back tomorrow after a through and laborious cleaning to remove the mess it left.

Works great

Would Recommend

This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own. As the hot weather comes, that usually means ants, no matter how clean you keep your home or apartment. Ants don't discriminate, they come to all homes and places of abode. I recommend this ant spray because it is safe for pets and doesn't smell like any insect spray. It's basically odorless and does a good job killing ants and keeping them away from returning. Highly recommended for those that get nauseous smelling i...
