does it keep the eggs from hatching, does it make combing nits less painful
188375
I bought this when I already did a lot of the work for about 6 weeks with chemicals and tea tree oil. I had not caught anything with it but I also did not see anything after using sparingly. I also had taken my daughter to a professional but that also was when I did most of the work so I spent about $80 for someone to find 3 nits. The only thing that worked a lot is the tea tree oil. I wish I had bought this comb sooner so I could see if it really worked. Sorry.

How long did you let the dust sit? The bugs need to walk across the dust for it to work. If you vacuumed the dust up too soon, it won't work. All eggs need to hatch so the new bugs can also walk across the dust and be killed before they can lay new eggs. In addition, if you have a pet that is still infested, it will re-infest your home.

Yes! this product DOES kill flea eggs also! Now, I will say in my experience, you may need to apply this product to the animal as well as floor, furniture, and bedding a second time in order to be sure the eggs are really treated and to catch any "sneaky" ones that may slip by. It is really very effective and economical.

I have not used the 951 but I would guess it is as effective as the granuals. Keep in mind it will kill any eggs laid in the soil but any flying gnats will need to be killed by hand or sticky card of some type. It is the egg laying that multiplies the gnats which has to be stopped and this product will do it effectively. I use the large 4 lb size because I do a lot of cuttings, seedlings, inside plants preparing for spring. BTW this is an inside product not meant to be used outside because of the toxicity which could harm pollinators.

I am a bit of a Newbie too. I will ask my friend who has been helping me and answer again if he says different. I am not familiar with a hatch pad but there is not much room between the screen and the egg turner. You can remove the turner and just turn by hand to make more room. Also I don't know if the hatch pad is porous or if it would block or interfere with the humidity from below. None of my chicks got caught in the screen. A few got stuck on their backs in the egg turners. My biggest concern is that the heater coil on the lid can create a nasty burn. My friend burned his hand on it. Not much feathers on the little chicks just hatched and all wet! It never turned out to be a problem tho.

Yes. It catches those moths, but it does not kill all of them. I still find random moths here and there. You have to kill the eggs.

I didn't have problems with flea eggs so I couldn't tell if the product was effective for treating them. I used it mostly for spiders and other small insects. I recently had termite inspection done in my house. I was told my house was clean of insects (except for some termite problems).

Yes it can. That's the whole reason I bought it. It's safe because it only stops the gnats from reproducing.

The nesting pads are super. I bought them as "Christmas presents" for the girls because they kept scratching their straw and pine shavings out of the nest boxes. This doesn't happen with the nesting pads--they stay right in place for the eggs to rest comfortably on. We put ours in right after Christmas and that was six weeks ago and so far we have had no need to change them out. And, when we do, we can turn them over for another round before discarding them. I think they are a worthwhile investment.

no. It coats the bugs body on the any pile & suffocates them. this will not repel anything.

This stuff doesn't work like a bug-killer...more like a repellent. I've had wasps, bees, mosquitos and flies around the back patio where I have the "egg" and they just fly away after a short time. Our back neighbors have a pool and we get the brunt of the bugs from the water source. The wasps took longer to go away. We were afraid they'd make another hive/nest where they do every year, but they didn't. You do have to refill it (I use only about two tablespoons at a time), but it lasts through the summer and we live in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Just a small warning, the liquid you pour into the egg smells like a very strong flower. My husband doesn't like the strong scent; I think it smells nice and goes well with the rose bush I've hung it in. Two of our friends thought they were smelling the roses, but neither them, nor I, wanted to stand around it for very long. Our patio is enclosed on two sides, with the back and side yards open. Hope this helps.

I checked with my husband and he said "yes it does inhibit new growth as well kill current suckers". I know this is the only product that works for us and it is far more expensive at the local nursery. Hope this is helpful to you.

I live in Michigan and what I did was take a 2foot by 1 foot piece of wood and then I put a couple screws into the wood. I then took some thread and tied each egg sac to a screw. I leaned the piece of wood against a wall near my garden. This protected the egg sacs from rain and the direct sun and kept them out of sight of most predators. It has been about a month or more since I did this and I am happy to report that I have several half inch long mantis babies in my garden. I don't believe the heat would harm them as long as you keep the egg sac in a shaded are that is also near a garden or a water source. Just my opinion. i'm no bug expert.

This would be great with the bitter apple spray I currently use. I spray the babies and just about no more nipping.

You have to use a comb no matter or you will never get rid of the live bugs... combing is unavoidable. :-(

Yes, definitely, although a slower process than most folks want (not always instant).This product is very strong & when you spray it in a certain area it allows the insect to walk in / through it & carries it back to th nest. You only need to use a little & even then only every 2 months or so.
