Effective insect treatment for around the house!
I love this product! It is truly an effective product that quickly works to get rid of insects from around my yard. Since we have been using this product, we no longer see ants coming in the house and they keep their distance from our house outside. I would definitely recommend this!

Works effectively
I used this product on my lawn in 2017 growing season didn't notice any bug problem all season. It was easy to use with my spreader and the direction were easy to read and follow as well.
I'll most likely use this product again in 2018.

Insects worst nightmare!
I am not typically one who is excited about death, but when it comes to the death of so many insects that typically plagued us, I am ecstatic.

Once it's attached you are good to go.
Well, it finally warmed up enough in Wisconsin to do this review!
This product worked very well-once I got it attached to the hose. I have a virtually new hose so the threads are in pristine shape, however, I had some difficulty in attaching the spray unit. The angle was bad but I kept at it success was mine. I sprayed both a brick patio with numerous ant hills and well as ant hills in my lawn. Finally, I sprayed around the doors and concrete areas. In every case everything was dead within 24 hours. Great product!

Great concept!
This product is a great concept to kill the bugs on the outside before they come in. There are a lot of bugs in Florida! This was very easy to apply and so far it is working great!
