Kills Anything -- Some Faster Than Others
By Adam on 04/02/2012
The active ingredient in ECO-PCO ACU is 2-penethyl-propionate. It is derived from alcohol and targets a neurotransmitter that only exists in invertebrates (a.k.a. bugs). Therefore, there is less risk to the human nervous system and it is labeled a natural product. This spray will drop house flies (even gigantic horse flies) instantly on contact. They'll crash and burn like The Hindenburg blimp. If you hit a larger crawling bug like a spider, house centipede or jerusalem cricket, IT WILL definitely die but it can take 1 minute to 5 minutes. The more powerful concoction of this product for crawling insects is EcoExempt KO. EcoExempt KO is FIVE PERCENT (5%) 2-penethyl-propionate, whereas ECO PCO ACU is only 0.10% 2-penethyl-propionate. The tradeoff is that EcoExempt KO is NOT a misting aerosol and so is less useful against flying insects. But EcoExempt KO will disable large crawling insects (and by LARGE I mean Jerusalem Crickets, which are the size of a small mouse) instantly -- and kill them more quickly than this product. But make no mistake -- ECO PCO ACU absolutely kills on contact like it states. None of my hundreds of insect victims of every size ended up living . . . just understand that if your goal is instant knockout of crawling insects, another product by this manufacturer (EcoExempt KO) is a bit more "instant."

This product is effective with not only killing roaches on the spot but allows them to crawl back to their nests and infect the others. The ingredients are not as toxic as other products so I feel confident in using it. I can see the light at the end of this tunnel with this product.

This product is a great killer. The only disappointment for me was this is an oil based product, which means it takes many hours to dry. I sprayed a wasp in my bathroom, and the wasp died almost instantly. Just to find out how long it takes to dry I left the wasp in place and shut the door. The next morning it was still wet and the wasp was still wet too. So, this is a great product, just be aware that it takes a very long time to dry if you have pets or children around.

Quick and thourough killer
By Jeff on 04/14/2017
This stuff works great on just about anything. The only thing I'm not too happy with is the dry time. This is an oil based product, so it takes a long time to dry. That may be beneficial if you want the insects to carry it back to their nest, but otherwise once the insect is dead I have to clean up the mess and wipe it dry. Still, 5 stars because it certainly does what is advertised.

Great product

Have been using this product for a number of years and it's the best. Since the fragrance is almost non existent I can use it anytime and anywhere. The most impressive feature for me is that once the roaches are sprayed they have time to run back to their nesting areas before dying. The other roaches eat them and are killed as well. Lastly the ingredients used are not as harmful to humans.
Excellent!!

So far I've not seen any changes in the situation. I don't like the smell it reminds of a certain brand found at the dollar store. Unfortunately due to my States regulations I can't purchase anything stronger.
