Customer Reviews for Phantom Termiticide Insecticide

I am a retired entomologist and would just like to make a couple recommendations. This is not the correct product for you, you should be using baits for cockroaches. Don't expect overnight results. Seal as many areas as possible. Good luck

Used this for bed bugs, along with an IGR and powder. I've suffered no coughing or irritant from this spray. This aspect and effectiveness were my two greatest concerns. So for how well it has worked: My husband and I have lost so much sleep due to these pests. We encased all mattresses, sprayed this with the added IGR, once that was dry we applied powder to all cracks and crevices. This has been in use for exactly two weeks. We went from night long battles so apparently considering we found every size for this pest, we were infested. In the past 24 hours, I've only found one very confused, lost looking, odd acting bug crawling up the wall in the middle of the day. No bites for the past three days. I won't say we are free of them until a few months pass without sight of any, but I do know the products, and this spray from this company is giving us our home, sleep, and lives back. I'll do retreatment as per product suggestion and have no doubt this will completely resolve the issue we've had with these monsters. I'd gladly buy this product again. Oh, and one last note: In the past we've had issues with stink bugs...once this spray went down, every kind of insect, including those are turning belly up dead.

This stuff works great. I've been using it for a few years and haven't had to buy a new bottle but only once, and that was because I let someone try it out and they used three times the recommended mixture ratio to 'make it stronger'. I highly discourage using more than the directions say to mix with water. For one thing, it will make the solution about as thick as house paint and the spray won't cover a huge area, and secondly, it's already a very effective poison, so it's pointless to try to increase its power. It has no odor, so ants will not avoid the treated area. They'll walk through it, carry it back to the colony and share the poison with the other ants. I cancelled my pest control service when I saw how effective this was and how much money I could save by doing my own pest control. What I paid for two visits by the pest control guy covered the cost of the entire bottle of Phantom, which has lasted me for a few years. The ants have been invading my house and even my cars lately, so this stuff has gotten a lot of use and it's done it's job well.

Just as the literature says, spray the trail, some die instantly but most track it to the nest. I figured they would smell or sence it then advoid the site. But NO, they just treck right through thinking all is well. I got up the next day expecting to see some sick ants but none were stirring! - The whole colony was wiped out!! Now I search the yard, driveway, patio, and sidewalks in hopes of finding more to wipe out! Fantastic - nonstaining product!!!

I live in LaBelle, Florida where we have a problem with big headed ants. I was not taken care of by a professional company that promised 6 sprays on my yard to help control the problem. They only came twice and treated my yard. I politely fired them!! They lost my business with poor customer service. I was so thankful to find this company and do my own spraying. This product is wonderful and I have hundreds of dead ants. It definitely works; no need for the sorry professional that promises, charges a lot of money and doesn't deliver.

I saw a question about Phantom working on Brown Recluse Spiders and I wanted to further answer the question: Yes, Phantom is actually extremely effective on Brown Recluse spiders. The reason being, brown recluses are cannibalistic/scavengers, so you end up with a snowball effect: Phantom kills some of the recluses, then others come to eat the bodies. Because Phantom has such a strong residual, the these spiders end up dying due to secondary poisoning. May not be the quickest way, but it will wreck some brown recluses.

My elderly mom got bedbugs from another lady who plays cards with her, I used phantom as the initial treatment after a complete tear down, clean, box springs and mattress encasement, and followed up with Temprid FX. it worked like a charm and she is now 1 month in the clear. it smells a little like latex paint, but not the obnoxious chemical smell of pesticide, it is nearly invisible when dry, and IT WORKS...

I've trusted Phantom for the last three and a half years. Phantom insecticide has proven to be the only effective method for controlling ant colonies around my property. The only ants I find lingering around nowadays are those that march over from my neighbors. I keep a small spray bottle and a gallon garden sprayer ready to saturate any any trails that I might find in or around the house. I haven't had any ant invaders for more than a year. I highly recommend this product to anyone with ant problems.

We have carpenter ants nests inside our 2x4 studs behind the siding due to rotten wood. We can see them outside and inside our house. We have tried Advance Granular Carpenter Ant Bait and carpenter ant gel and didn't have much effect on the number of ants we see inside the house. A week ago we sprayed Phantom inside house and Transport Mikron outside the house, we have noticed the number of carpenter ants has reduced greatly. Before the application, we can see averagely ten or so every day, now we see one or two daily. We are going to do a second spray after the rain is over. We hope we can eliminate them using these two products.

We get an annual termite inspection and had a terrible ant problem during the time the inspector visited. I asked him what he would recommend to help with the increasing ant problem and he gave me about an ounce of phantom. It took care of the problem quickly so I ordered a bottle to keep on hand for future use.

What pros DON'T have this product in their arsenal? If you don't already, order it today. As a professional exterminator, i've always loved this material- works great on ants, roaches, bedbugs, etc, every time (TIP: especially effective with SPRING WATER- as is true with all professional products). I've personally done many a "once & done" german roach hit with this material (tank mixed with my favorite IGRs). I gave Spectre 2 SC (by CSI)- a similar formulation- the same rating- had to make sure i did the same for BASF, because i use both. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BASF!

This stuff is awesome! The first treatment we found at least a dozen bed bugs and a bunch of eggs. I just did the second treatment (9 days later) and I found 1 bug and no eggs! It's also kept away the pesky grease ants in my kitchen! I would recommend using D earth with it in the electrical outlets and vacuum everything!

I was thrilled to find Phantom online and available for purchase. This is the exact same product used by pest control companies. I follow the dilution instructions and apply it using a 1 gallon sprayer. I treat the entire inside of my house. It dries quickly and has no odor. Keeps us pest-free for months (and we live in buggy Florida.) I will continue to purchase this!

I actually used this to spray for mosquitoes, and it worked great. I sprayed the ground of shaded areas. Use caution when spraying areas that bees may be as well, don't wanna hurt them.

The phantom product is an absolute must have product if you're dealing with an ant problem that will NOT GO AWAY with the use of other treatments. When this chemical is used properly and in the right quantity it eliminates all of the target pests in the treatment area. Over use will stain walls, furniture and other items that is not intended to be discolored. My order was shipped promptly and arrived when indicated.
