Customer Reviews

Works very well
We live in a very woodsy area and have a problem with scorpions during the summer months. Some of our neighbors who have a similar problem advised us to just hire an exterminator, but we decided to give this a try first, since it is cheaper. It works very well. My husband sprays down the outside of the house with it every 2 months during the warm weather, and during that time, we see NO scorpions. If we go three months without spraying it we do start to see the scorpions again, but as long as we keep it up every few months we don't have a problem.

My dog recently brought fleas into our house, and after trying bug bombs to no avail, we thought we'd try spraying this inside the house to see if it would help since it does so well against other bugs. We still have fleas, unfortunately, but I can see that their numbers have drastically decreased since we sprayed. And this stuff does not have a horrible, lingering odor like the bug bombs do. We have decided to spray it again in a week or two, and after that as long as the flea problem hasn't worsened, we may be rid of them.

I would advise trying this stuff before you hire an exterminator. It will likely save you a lot of money!

Not that effective
We live in a woodsy part of Atlanta with a thick bush 10 feet from our backyard. Bugs and critters are the norm in atlanta, wasn't much a problem when we rented in the city, but burbs are more foresty. We have more of a small spider/centipede issue than anything else but do an occassional random critter.

I have sprayed this inside/outside the house perimeter and do it outside every 2 weeks. I notice a drop in bugs/moths outside the first couple of nights but they are back to the same numbers in about 10 days. inside i am not spraying again since we have a little crawling baby now and safe or not, this is a pesticide.

I am just going to try something else now since this does not seem to be doing a satisfactory job.

This Product Made Me Sick
It killed some of the grain bugs That Came in With The Bird Seed I Bought, But That is All I have To Say Good about this product. There is No Warnings on The Lable abot application. Just Says Safe For Kids & Animals. I Have Systemic Lupus, & Like Asthma, I May be More Sensitive To This Product Than Many. Should Be Warnings About Wearing A Mask & Gloves. I Became Very Sick By The Next Morning: Reflux, Lung Pain, Stomach Irritation, ...All Sx of Bifenthrin Exposure. Orkin had me call Ortho...Ortho did not take my concerns very seriously over the phone about putting warnings on the label. I am lucky that I had prednisone on hand for the sx. I had to take three times the amount of nexium to quiet the refux...and still had problems for a week. My Lungs and Chest hurt for a week. Orkin will finish the spraying for me!They have been the only ones to show any concern for my saftey...and they did not do this to me. They just want to get these pests out of my house and not hurt me to do it.
