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

UPDATED so it's been about a week since the stuff has been sprayed everywhere outside around our house & I gotta the sugar ant prob is non existent and there were several warmer days no less that normally result in seeing a few or a ton in any event I've seen none after applying this but that's assuming it's this that is working. We haven't anything other than this but I think it's safe to say it's working however I have seen the norm amt or # of stinky bug variety which I haven't had the opportunity to spray one directly in its face like sum1 said killed one lol but it doesn't seem to deter them I'm still getting the stinky dudes about 3 or so in a day per week then none but that day I get 3 trying to come in to get warm is one MAJOR BAD DAY so there's that but the ant variety definitely decreased Recd quickly, was sealed in a full size completely encased clear plastic bag or cover with air but ty for taking shipping products esp with that stuff in it seriously enough to think ahead should the shipment process go sideways on us cuz if they didn't take that extra precaution that wouldn't be a good thing having it leak pretty much anywhere other than some lawn hopefully lol so that is appreciated at my end but I'm sure the whole way here by everyone who came in contact with that & now know u did so. That ain't the kinda thing ya want anywhere but where u intended it. The product pumped out right away exactly as it said it would, good flow of juice outta nozzle, worked excellent I think anyway. I haven't seen the enemys anywhere today & we had a bit of a small tiny lil devil's the sugar ants starting to again try n take over the place. Well I waged a serious world size war against them last year & happy to report I did win it but knew it was only a matter of time b4 they tried to do it again cuz they r just that dedicated them lil suckers. And wouldn't ya know they started to coming in & trying here and then over there I'd see a few this week. Today was very warm compared to others this year. After my better half sprayed the whole bottle outdoors & around the property close to the house, I'm happy to say it appears to have done exactly what it claimed to have which was protect my home from more & keeping them outta the dang house in general. We spray around every place but pay close attn to the hoses that lead from outside to the inside and we also do the roof around all the skylights or window openings esp the ones directly underneath our big old oak tree that I noticed they live to drop right from on to the house roof and then come sneaking in they our bathroom vent. I have covered with netting or mesh and that works but usually ill still see some make it in thru that area but not the day it was hot I think that's yesterday lol anyway I'm getting too old to know when it was. Who cares my point is clear THIS STUFF APPEARS TO REALLY WORK WELL ON THE TINY SUGAR ANT VARIETY BUT ALSO IT DOES SEEM TO ALSO WORK GREAT ON DETERRING THE CRAZY IMCREASE OF PEASKY STINK BEATLES WE HAVE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE I say it did the job on the Beatles cuz I haven't seen one on that hotter day. The day B4 that, I had I think 4 maybe 5 of them suckers come in the house walk around on the ceiling requiring me to find the better half to handle it cuz I can't handle them when they decide it's time to take flight. It's a lot like a crain fly. I'm certain both got their wings to fly from the same idiot cuz they have no sense of direction whatsoever when they finally do catch air and always tend to come right for ur face if ur unlucky they'll run right into it full speed ahead too so I'm not a huge fan of that entire scenario which after my personal exterminator told me if I did smash them they'd reek alot like a skunk does, it's his job notine to handle them suckers which he claims he sets free away front he house as not to encourage reentey of these same pilots. So anyhoo that's that info I said probly TMI about hope it's helpful a little bit or a lot! Take care and I'll be back of this goes sideways to correct my rating but GREAT PURCHASE ILL B BAK FOR MORE DEFINATELY ❤️❤️❤️ !!!

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 is highly effective, and I've used this the last 1.5 years or so. After moving into a new construction home, I encountered many more pests (particularly crickets) in my garage in particular, than I had in my previous well-established neighborhood. While I'm hopeful the quantity of pests will die down to 'normal' levels within another year or so, Spectracide has been highly effective at killing crickets, spiders, roaches, and other small insects I can't identify that have made their way into my garage or onto the back patio. Unfortunately, it's also seemingly killed some moths or a couple bees that have somehow made contact with the residual spray. I do spray generously every 3 months or so, so I'm not sure if that's why it has been highly effective. I don't have an issue with the fumes personally (even with having asthma) but I do wear disposable gloves and a mask, and I've not noticed my pets getting sick either (but I think they know, on some level, not to mess with it while it's drying). There's a couple drawbacks that remove a star: 1) The last (2) purchases have had faulty sprayers/nozzles, and I've had to resort to using the sprayer/nozzle from the original purchase that still works. Here's to hoping the fourth purchase doesn't have the same issue. 2) I know it advertises no residue after drying, but It does leave a noticeable residue that is easy for me to spot on white tile on the interior after it dries. I usually like to keep things fairly tidy, so I have to resist the urge to clean it - every time. White tile does make it easy to spot lots of things, however, so I can see why some folks may not notice a residue depending on the color of the tile.

I’ll be honest, I don’t like taking the life of any living creature but if it comes to a bug in my house, office, or apartment, those rules don’t apply. lol. It works really well on contact & it’s also long lasting (between a few-several days). Also a footnote: When spraying this chemical (or any chemical me that matter) it would be very wise to use a mask that prevents those harmful chemicals from coming into your airway. This chemical is very strong & if inhaled, it’ll take your breath away, cause you to cough, & activate your mucus membranes as a defense mechanism against the chemical. So be careful, but it DOES WORK! 5*’s! :)

This product works great for months and even in my grass for fleas and other bugs too… My pup hasn’t had fleas in years since I’ve used this and my household doesn’t have bugs (none that stay alive) This product when sprayed properly around perimeter of areas works great on contact and months later… BUT it does have a chemical smell and can cause some coughing or sneezing if inhaled (may cause other problems just as other insecticide does if inhaled or coming directly in contact with it…. But otherwise if used properly and sprayed every 3 -6 months around the area desired it should kill the whole year continuously… My bottle lasted me over a year and a half spraying the yard and around the perimeter of windows and doors (outside) and a regular spraying as a professional company would of the entire home’s perimeter and baseboards and cabinets and front door or anywhere you have bugs entering or problematic areas…. AGAIN…It really does work if you’re using it as directed… Hope this helps someone else… BUT please leave me a few because I’ve noticed it’s been selling out a lot lately…Thanks 😉

Spectracide does kill the bugs. It kills them right away. It is especially helpful in killing those nasty, awful tiny ants that plague us. I love! What i don't like is the sprayer attachment stops working for some unknown reason and leaves me with half a bottle I can't use! Get it together people! You have an excellent product, is it really that difficult to make a sprayer that works till the bottle is empty. Huge waste of money and I don't have any to spare!

It seems to work since the number of bugs has definitely declined. I sprayed it on the outside perimeter and around the doors, windows, and any outside penetrations. It dries quickly. Its effectiveness period seems to be about 6 to 8 weeks. The trigger spray head works easily.

I've been using Bug Stop for many years - at least 15 or so. I used to buy it from local hardware stores, but times have changed and they either don't carry it anymore or their price is too steep. This stuff kills spiders. Period. I live in an area that seems to get lots of outdoor smallish brown spiders. No idea what they are called (not brown recluse), but they make webs *everywhere*. I spray the sides of the house, the roofline, nearby bushes, anywhere I see their irritating webs. The webs even get on the outside of our vehicles sometimes, particularly around the grill or side view mirrors. Bug Stop spray does not seem to harm the car finish in any way. I generally spray in spring, then also in summer. The result is a spider-free environment. Yay! Amazon's price is extremely fair, and the sprayer mechanism works well. I do agree with others that the 'fumes' make my nose run, and I also cough. I use a disposable mask - you know, the kind that were everywhere during Covid - and that helps a lot.
