    spiders on boat dock

    By Michael on 09/29/2013

    I think it helps spiders multiply and not kill them. I have use it after dark on my boat dock spraying on them and all over the dock. Knocking down web nest next morning and by next day I seem to have more than the night before. I have used two gallon and will not buy and more. I have used it around my house and same problem.

    Love this stuff..but b careful!

    By C on 06/05/2017

    Last year my exterminator raised his fee once again. I decided I can do this! I have 3 teenagers & 2 cats, so I loved the idea of natural. We live on the lake so we have the disgusting giant fly roaches/palmetto bugs as well as ants and mosquitoes. We haven't seen one creature for nearly a yr! Lol Lesson learned! This yr we have a flea problem. Since we never had this issue before I didn't know what to do so I headed to wally world & bought spray. Nothing! In fact it got worse. I read the IC3 in full & it mentioned fleas so used it properly..it helped..BUT..no product is a miracle worker with fleas..you HAVE to wash EVERYTHING, vacuum like a mad maid. I ended up moving all furniture & cleaned carpets & respraying & so far so good. I recommend adding the extra product for the eggs..I think that would have made my life a little easier. Good luck!

    It works

    By Alan on 05/11/2016

    I used a mister and treated around my house on acreage with very tall trees usually replete with mosquitos every evening. It has been nearly 3 weeks and the mosquitos are still mostly gone. I have seen literally a couple. Then I took my mister and this product up to a friends camp spot in the woods right next to a pond where the mosquitos were thick. That evening in just a couple hours my friend told me...NO MOSQUITOS!! I don't know how long the treatment will last but I am sold and will buy more when this runs out. Wish I had thought of this years ago.

    Fast acting

    By Brian on 06/03/2012

    Treatment to the exterior of a customer I just acquired that HAD a severe spider infestation. I started the treatment process and when I finished the exterior (approximately 20min.), the spiders in the area I started were already showing signs of effect.Worked extremely fast and provided the quick knock down that it says it does!

    Essentria's a great alternative to pesticide.

    By Anonymous on 08/28/2013

    Verified Purchase

    Great organic alternative to pesticide for mosquito control. Use in addition to bug zapper for flying bugs. Spray heavy and regularly around yard, pool, on bushes, plants, and tree leaves. Got good and safe results with diligent usage.

    Not true

    By Joe on 07/23/2016

    I'm a professional pest provider and I'll recommend this product all day for spider control which is achieved through a contact kill. Risidual has nothing to do with it.

    Excellent

    By Janina on 08/30/2017

    One of our indoor cats broke through a screen and ducked under the crawl space. We unfortunately could not get him out from under there until the following day. By then he was infested by fleas, as we live in a rural area with lots of wildlife. Of course we took him to the vet and began treating immediately, but the house became infested with fleas, and we have carpeting throughout. The exterminator wanted $800.00 to exterminate and there was no guarantee it would eliminate the problem. So, I needed an indoor insecticide that was pet and human safe. I found one. It did not eliminate the problem, but we had exterminated a few times and we still get a few stragglers but a couple more treatments our problem will disappear. So, if you don't mind smelling licorice for a couple of hours this is the product to use. I highly recommend this product. It takes care of the problem and is much more affordable. It is your choice. You can pay an exterminator $2,400, or do it yourself and spend approximately $200 and a little bit of your time.

    For wIntertime...only

    By Anonymous on 07/23/2013

    Only has about a 2-3 week residual. Almost completely ineffective against ants and black widows. Only 2 good things about this product: 1. Application on bushes and trees BUT it is oil based so it will burn the leaves in high temperatures. 2. No gov't restrictions for run off in damp weather. Other than that...bleh.

    Ic3

    By Jason on 06/29/2017

    This product seems to work very well especially around ponds the only problem I have is every time I get a shipment of this it takes me an hour to Shake The Jug. I always have a thick layer on the bottom of the jugs and I'm assuming that's the part that sticks to everything you spray

    Deer Flies and Mosquitos - nice scent

    By Dan on 08/14/2017

    I had an upcoming outdoor wedding which was early August and we had a lot of deer flies. I wanted to get something to help and this spray seemed to work very well. It has a really unusual smell and some people at the wedding commented on it as either like mint, rootbeer, or a vicks vapor rub. Not a strong smell at all so nothing overwhelming to be concerned about. I personally thought it smelled like rootbeer. Either way, seemed to work great for all bothersome insects

    Doesn't work

    By Chucko on 06/02/2020

    This stuff simply does NOT work at all. I spray for small biting gnats and chiggers. The day after I sprayed (at the highest recommended proportion of 6oz/gallon) and there were MORE biting gnats in the yard! It's almost like they were attracted to this stuff. My wife said her eyes burned there was so much repellent on the yard; but the gnats still kept coming! I walked through the yard three days later looking to "kick-up" gnats; hoping they were just flying in from somewhere else. NOPE, as I walked through the yard I see the bugs flying up and swarming just like they always have, and I still smell the product. I'm stuck using this gallon up; so I will be spraying every five days until either they are gone or I'm out of product. Also, the bottle was leaking in the box when it arrived ...I will be trying competitors, and if all else fails I'll go back to cheap permethrin from my local farm store..... So, no matter how much I wanted Essentria IC3 to work, it just doesn't!

    Truly Incredible Product

    By Stanley on 09/21/2020

    I just want to say that this product is nothing short of incredible. It literally seems to work on everything. We have two dogs and a cat that are indoor/outdoor animals and started having flea problems. So I researched and eventually settled on Essentria IC3 combined with Martin's IGR concentrate. This combination worked so well that the dogs and cat don't even need to take flea medication. It also completely cleared out the roaches, ants, and even spiders are very rare now. Prior to spraying we would have to chase down the occasional roach, ant, or spider with RAID. We have never had an infestation of any of them but it was still very annoying nonetheless. After liberally spraying twice a year we literally have no pests year around. The smell is a pretty strong peppermint smell, but just open the windows and turn on the fans and it will be gone in a few hrs. I just encountered a problem with aphids on our Jasmine bushes and wondered if IC3 was safe for plants...what do you know...this wonder Insecticide is not only safe for plants it also works on Aphids, is there anything this can't do? Oh and to the reviewers saying it does not work on fleas, it does not work on flea eggs, so you need to add an IGR to your mixture if you want to prevent new fleas from hatching.

    Product failed to effectively kill or discourage spiders

    The product failed to kill or discourage spiders on my boat dock. In addition the solution ruined the seals in my pump sprayer.

    Great product

    By Ryan on 05/10/2017

    So far I've been pleased with this. Sprayed twice and home is 99% bug free. One or two strays but other then that it's worth the money.

    Works great so far Instant kills

    By Caitlin on 10/23/2016

    Im using it for bedbugs and roach infestation. I live in N.Y. we have bbrs and german cockroachs. Also I have had an infestation of bed bugs again this year. First time I had bed bugs we re built whole room from scratch. This time no money to remodle again. I used a ratio of 6 ounces to 1 gallon to start getting the infestation under control. I saw a roach while spraying and sprayed it and result was an instant kill. Not sure in bed bug situation yet but I also use harris bed bug powder which does not help by itself. Harris spray killer did not work at all beside keeping the infestation down to a medium. I would say I am very happy so far. However my guinea pig hates the smell so I am airing the bedroom. Also I found a roach drinking it a few minutes ago because they are starving and thirsty at this point. Lol.

    Excellent botanical and safe product

    By Michael on 07/25/2016

    I simply love this product, very safe around your family, safe for the environment, we love the minty scent it leaves. Just have to use more often, especially if used outdoors, but it is safe, not like other chemical based junk that is causing cancer and a lot of health issues and harming the environment. I highly recommend Essentria ic3. EXCELLENT Product!!!

    What a difference

    By Lorena on 10/30/2020

    This has been a godsend. Of course it takes a bit more commitment than a regular chemical, but our dock is on the lake and I can't use just anything. We were out of town and Within a month our beautiful new dock was taken over by spiders. I tried this product and was able to eliminate the spiders, but within two weeks they were starting to come back. I sprayed it again and then followed up with another spray within a weeks time. And that seemed to work. Now I just go once a week and kind of spot spray. Love the product love the scent. Would highly recommend.

    Very good results, easy to use in a pump sprayer

    By Larry on 04/01/2023

    One of the reviewers named "Robert" must be on something. Said this is not "Labeled" for spiders. When after reading the provided PDFs, it most certainly is! I have found this to be pretty strong odor up front for the first 3 days or so, but does ease up. It's not a bad smell, just strong. But for fleas, spiders, ants and keeping my field mice away, WORKS GREAT! I am not just another reviewer. Have used and known about DoMyOwn for quite some time, even during my employment with Pest Control companies near the Atl GA area. We did not use this commercially, but I use it personally on my own home. Works better than a lot of other brands. And if you are in Pest Control, even works better than those "special cocktails" we did use. I would highly recommend using this. WORKS ON SPIDERS TOO!! Did I mention that yet? Contact methods work too "Robert". Repellents work too "Robert". This also kills and repels spider food supply chain DoMyOwn has been a source for the best products I used commercially and has lots more we didn't use for us folks at home. So thanks! Kinda bummed about not having the 2oz available though

    Applied to our Boat dock

    By John on 08/22/2020

    I like the product as it is Eco friendly ... for this 5 stars. I applied at a rate of 5 oz. per gallon, in my battery powered back pack sprayer, but that rate didn't seem to knock down the spiders. Although I do understand that spiders most likely won't be affected by this product but, their food sources are the targets. With no food, spiders will move to other locations. Another target "critter" on our dock is something that we are unable to identify. This "critter" bites my wife just like chiggers. No one else is pestered by these "critters". Our boat dock has a concrete tile surface so, I'm skeptical whether the "critters" are chiggers. Anyway, the product has not put these "critters" to rest. I intend to continue using this product, next application will be at a higher rate per gallon. Although, will be approaching the cost of professional applicators by doing so.

    Not good for cockroaches

    By Tessa on 07/31/2020

    We did it exactly as the instructions said and it's horrible for cockroaches. Also if you open it and use it, you can't return it. Even though it's falsely advertised. Not happy.

    Does not kill fleas

    By Caroline on 10/04/2019

    Zero stars: this product says it kills fleas - it does *not* kill fleas. But it does cause them to jump on you more intensely as it seems to aggravate them to get away from the sprayed product areas. Waste of money unless you just like to spray it around for the strong minty odor.

    Insect killer

    By Jerry on 08/20/2018

    I put this in my mosquito misting system around my pool. After turning it on for about 2 minutes on 2 consecutive days, the third day when I looked at the pool there was a giant mat of big black dead flies floating in on corner of the pool. I mixed up one gallon in my hand sprayer and coated the brick entryway to my house where flies would swarm and that has stopped them totally. I am totally satisfied with the results.
