What Customers Are Saying

The product provides effective control of various lawn and garden pests like grubs, ants, and mosquitoes for some users, with long-lasting effects from a single application. However, it fails to work on certain insects like ants and mole crickets for other customers. The effects can also be short-lived, with pests returning within weeks. Some users report the product attracting more insects or damaging plants. Overall, the performance is inconsistent, and customers may need to reapply the product if the initial treatment does not provide lasting control.

Didn't Work for Me

Would Not Recommend

I take care of the lawn at my church. After reading the reviews I bought 6 bags and applied the product per the application instruction using both a commercial tractor tow and walk behind spreaders. We have a school and the children used the playground for recess and I wanted to eliminate all the ants so the children wouldn't accidentally step on one of the mounds. Two weeks after using the product I was cutting the lawn and notice ants active on every ant mound. I'm going to contact the Baye...

No more Japanese beetles or grubs

A local nursery suggested that I use this for my Japanese beetles and it worked. He recommended applying it on the two holidays, one in Spring (Easter) and in Fall and that’s what I don’t remember. He explained that a Fall application is important as it kills the insects as they emerge from the soil in the Spring. When should I apply the granule in the Fall?

Insect food not killer

Bought this because of a YouTube video. When mowing my lawn I noticed a large number of white moths and upon closer inspection, worms. My neighbor said they were army worm and they are larvae for the moths. Also had a gnat issue while mowing. I bought and applied Bioadvanced Lawn Insect killer, per the instructions, and the problem increase 3X what it was. And this stuff definately doent work for 3 months as it has only been 5 weeks since I applied. It fed the bugs and worm instead of killing th...

Granular worked for me

Granular got rid of chiggers, applied on Saturday afternoon and the chiggers where gone by Monday afternoon. Will just have to see long it lasts but none of the sprays including the bioadvanced one could get rid of all the chiggers completely so I am very pleased with the product.

Works for me

I've battled rose midges for several years with little success. Their live cycle is only about 17 days and most of which is underground. Because of this I need to attack the bug both below and above the ground. I use the granules when my roses first start to leaf out and follow up with the Insect, disease, and mite control about 30 days later. So far no midge damage on my 260 roses. I love this product.

Worst bug killer ever!

I have a small 1/4 acre lot with a 2000 sq ft house, couple trees, and 16x32 garden. Not even 24 hours after spraying down my property (going through not 1, but 2, 40oz bottles) my garden is infested with slugs, and there are sand flies and mosquitos all over as if I never sprayed at all! Extremely irritated I wasted the hours of labor and gallons of water to apply this product to my, house exterior, lawn, driveway, and garden

No more ticks!

I have been using this for a few years. As soon as the deer ticks become active, I apply it on my lawn (late April, early May). With three dogs, in an active deer area, They never get ticks! Love being able to play barefoot in the grass with them! Thanks!

Do not buy! It does not work! I have found so many grubs (under my grass later) after applying this product. All of them were alive. I have yet to find any of them dead. I’d like a refund, please!!!

Mole crickets are immune to this product

Would Not Recommend

Used product as directed and the only thing it killed were Grubs. The label clearly states it kills mole crickets, however the one's in my yard must be immune. I see more live ones everyday than I have ever seen before.

Bayer Advanced Insect Killer

Would Recommend

Bayer Advanced Insect Killer spreads better, than other competing brands. The product feed through the lawn spreader cleaner and more even than other brands used in the past. I recommend Bayer Advanced Insect Killer. I normally put a barrier around the house in the Fall to keep out insects looking to Winter over in and around the house.
