    Great Product

    By Patrick on 03/06/2020

    I live in central Florida, and we have a lot of bugs, obviously. I spread this stuff all around my foundation every six months. I have virtually no bugs in the house, ever. I see the bug trucks at all of my neighbors' houses far more frequently than twice a year, and I wonder how much they're paying for that. Highly recommend this product.

    Don't Waste Your Money

    By Scott on 06/03/2019

    There are better products on there and on this site. I've spread this, had it rain, only to have ants build mounds right in the middle of the area I've spread. I still also see a lot of other bugs around as well. It is not effective. I don't know if there isn't enough active ingredient or what. Buy something else.

    Worked well

    By Linda on 01/14/2021

    I applied this to my lawn to property to get rid of ants, grubs, and to discourage wild hogs from rooting for bugs on my property. The day after application of this product, all the ant hills were inactive and the hogs haven't been back. Success!
