Spectracide Bug Stop Home Barrier, Kills Ants, Roaches and Spiders On Contact, Indoor and Outdoor Insect Control, 1.33 Gallon (RTU Accushot Spray), Plain

This stuff works great for my issue. Which is false chinch bugs coming indoors. I bought an old rural fixer upper for retirement. And the seal around door and window frames leaves something to be desired. And as it turns out, this area has seasonal problems with small bugs that can invade houses, like gnats and chinch bugs. Harmless in small numbers, but annoying in large numbers. So I tried this stuff out around the drafty sliding glass door frame leading to the backyard, and within two days there was dozens of dead bugs on the floor by the door, and no live bugs in the kitchen. And better yet, after sweeping those dead bugs up, there were a dozen more new dead bugs the next day, and the next. Which means the residual effectiveness actually works. warning: I highly recommend a brand name (3M) N95 mask while spraying this stuff. If you breathe in even a few airborne droplets of this stuff, you will be coughing and choking for the next 15 minutes. Not fun. N95 masks are rated for particles down to 0.3 microns (e.g. smoke). Which will easily filter out the airborne mist droplets while you spray the pesticide. A few bucks is worth it to not be breathing in pesticide. pros: - Absolutely does work for annoying small bugs, ants, gnats, etc. They make it about a foot past the sprayed area before dying. - The residual killing effect after spraying surfaces actually works. Continues to kill for at least 4 weeks after spraying. (Maybe longer, but I applied it again after 1 month to make sure) - Not stinky a day after spraying. (A noticeable smell when first applied but gone by 24 hours.) - Not messy or oily. (A wet film at first, obviously. But nothing noticeable after it dries and goes to work.) cons: - Will wash away in the first rain if used outdoors, and says so in the fine print. This is an indoors product, not a lawn and garden treatment. - The fine print says that spiders must be sprayed directly in order to kill them. So in other words the residual effect of spraying around in dark corners doesn't work on them. So if spiders, or really anything larger than a housefly, are your problem then you may need something stronger (and more dangerous) than this product.

This stuff really kills some of the oddest insects I’ve seen. It kills on the spot.

I raised my review from one star to four star because when I called them, the company sent me a replacement sprayer. The original did not work. By the way, there is an adjustment at the tip of the sprayer that must be in one of the two "on" positions.... otherwise it makes noise but does not spray. Also it may need to be primed by having the sprayer level with the ground when you first start spraying.

I have been buying this stuff repeatedly for 3 years now and apply in spring and fall. Helps to keep all those pesky bugs at bay.

Does the trick! Recommend

Does the job

Doesn't work never buy to waste your money i waste mine

Container arrived with a crack on the bottom allowing leakage. The pump is poor quality and does not pump when tank is held at the waist high and nozzle is lifter up at arms length to spray on top of door frames. Pump often stopes pumping even when the motor is running. After contacting the company they are sending me a new pump.
