What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the product's broad-spectrum pest control, reporting dramatic reductions in Japanese beetles, ants, stinkbugs, leaf miners, and spider mites within days. Many describe plants recovering with vibrant growth after application. However, a notable group reports diminished effectiveness compared to past performance, with some noting the formula appears clearer rather than milky white. Several mention the application is time-consuming and physically demanding. While most customers find the results worthwhile, some express frustration with inconsistent outcomes and concerns about formula changes.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this product. I have always just used water and soap in a spray jar to spray my vegetables in my garden and it works most of the time but we still have bugs. I use this product a couple of times now and I have not seen any bugs in the garden at all. I am so happy that I won't have to throw away any vegetables that we're half-eaten by bugs. I will be purchasing this from now on for my garden

Fantastic product!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gardening but I'm scared to death of bugs. This spray works so well. I started it about a week ago and I have zero ants and bugs on my flowers!! I'm so shocked. Usually my garden is full of insects but this did the trick. It also didn't harm my flowers. What I also love is that this is a concentrate so you get so much more for your money.

Finally! Something that works!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This you can use as much or little as you need - there's a guide telling how much for what type plant. I also learned adding a couple caps fulls to 2 gallons of water is sufficient to kill rather large ant colonies within 24 hours. I have had an ant problem for a few years now, and finally I have something that works!

Great for spiders
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sevin Insect Killer has been amazing so far. With it getting warmer here in North East Ohio the spiders that have been finding there way into my house is crazy. I have been looking for something that will kill them and also keep them away. We sprayed this insect killer all around the outside of the house and also around my basement walls. After a couple days I have noticed I haven't seen as many spiders and definitely found a ton of dead ones i...

Works for Lanternfly
Would RecommendMy maple trees were loaded with Lanternflies. In order to reach the high branches, I stood on a ladder and used the 32 oz bottle as the "soap" in my power washer, using the low pressure soap setting, The flies immediately dropped when hit by the spray. When they hit the ground they walked around a bit, more sluggish than usual. They started walking back toward the tree and started climbing back up, again more sluggish than usual. I was a bit disappointed. But then about 20 minutes later they sta...

Would RecommendI have used this product for many years to treat fire ants. It has always done a wonderful job! However, I just bought a new bottle, mixed it in a gallon bottle as usual. The usual thing I would see is the liquid would be white when I treated the mounds. This new bottle pours out of the gallon bottle (when mixed with water) practically clear. I thought maybe I forgot to add it! But, I know I did. I did shake the concentrate and measure as usual.... Is it now almost clear when mixed? The liquid f...
