Works great on small bugs.
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.

Great Product
So, I was very pleasantly surprised by this bug spray! I bought it as support in between my 2 times a year extermination. It's great for the price, no odor, non-sticky, great amount of spray....a gallon.The sprayer didn't work but I just poured some into a smaller spray bottle and it is perfect!! With consistent spraying like 2 times a week I have seen no bugs since last professional extermination!!

Powerfull and works for a few weeks. Spraying smallest amount causes me and wife to cough!!
Where a mask when spraying, as smallest amount cause a strong coughing reaction in humans. Afterwords (an hour or two after spraying), there is no odor, no residue (dries clear).Works well to repel roaches for a few weeks.

"Time has telled" as some say....
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 decreasedRecd 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 ❤️❤️❤️ !!!

Good for price
This has worked well. However, what I had to realize is that I needed to spray every day. Once I started doing that, I could tell a difference. I only recently have seen a bug; starting to spray daily again.

Product effective, spray wand useless
Product seemed effective from two sprays i did but sprayer stopped working even with new batteries for 3rd spray. Now I have a half jug with no delivery system and will have to buy a new sprayer

It works! Doesn't leave a long lasting sticky residue.
Works great, lasts quite a while, just getting around to doing the outside again after the rainy weather but on any spaces leading outside or where bugs can crawl in, well they won't be crawling over this more than once! Do wear proper PPE when using at least a mask and gloves and preferably glasses or eye protection of some kind, as this stuff is potent.
