I used snake away outside of my house perimeter but now my house reaks like moth boths inside - any idea how long this will last or what I do

We never use it that close to the house, we sit on 2 1/2 acres so we spread it around the perimeter of the property. Usually will subside within a few days though.

Yeah - basically this stuff is just industrial-grade mothballs. That's why it has that smell. It'll go away in about 2 weeks by itself - maybe sooner depending on the amount of rain. If it's real bad you can try to just hose it down to dissolve the crystals.

I bought this to kill bed bugs and cockroaches as an alternative to chemicals sprayed throughout my house. I don't know about outside use.

I don't know, but roaches, spiders and camel crickets expire right away if Talstar is sprayed directly on them. I sprayed a basement about 6 weeks ago and the residual is still killing'em!

I placed it around my house at beginning of May and then the middle of June. I did have less insects but it does not do the job of real pesticides which I avoid. I also used a spray type from Ecosmart around the house too. I am going to do it again soon.

I only had one and its ben a month since I sprayed. A combination of spray and traps should help.

KEEP out of water when not using,,,, if your not using it at all at the moment un wrap it , room temp room it will last for years

I sprinkled near their (bull snakes) burrow and they went away for three weeks then came back. They want shelter and a close food supply. It's probably 50-50 that they will go into the house vs. another location. All I know is they don't like the Snake B Gon.

I am so sorry for your rat problem. I use the product outside so I am not for sure about drying out. I did have a rat die inside the wall in my bedroom and left a very bad smell. I got a product called "FRESHWAVE" Natural Odor Eliminator Crystal Gel. I had these jars all over the house. The product is a little pricy but it really works. I am very particular about smells since I have allergies but this does not bother me. TRY IT! It took about 4 days for the smell to go away. My critter catcher guy said not to use a product to cover up the odor. That only makes it worse. You can order this product "FRESHWAVE" on the internet. I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond. Good luck!

You don't. Just keep animal away from rooms you spray for a couple of hours so it can dry . This product works...just not for the 7 months as advertised.

After you watered your lawn. It seemed like you needed to reapply. For Rabbit, Rabbit pellet is better, last for a few week with or without water

I have had great luck with a foaming lubricant/cleaner (CLP Break Free). I spray it down the barrel and let it form up and sit, then pull it through with the snake. The residue that stays behind acts as a protectant/lubricant. Hope this helps.

I broadcast an entire container inside my 25 by 25 ft workshop. Would not expect it to last more than a couple of months. This one does not have the strong moth ball smell that some similar products do. I usually have a black snake living in the shop, which is fine, but want to keep out the copperheads and neither seem to be there now.

Put the product anywhere you think the snakes may show up, any time. It does not work while it is in the container. I have not seen a snake since scattering it around our back patio.

Have you hosed it out? I gets leaves & crud in it, I even had a rat with a nest in one of mine!! Got rid of him fast!! I have 3 of then & hose out regularly. Try it!

Consider: Is your flooring sealed, as with varnish or stain? Are there spaces between the boards where fleas may crawl? Are infected People or pets coming in and out from outside?All these can cause poor results. Use more of a coating (rather than a dusting) to your floors, and restrict access to affected areas for 3 consecutive days, and dust around outside entryways where people and animals trod before they enter the house. Thanks!

I bought it and it didn't work. I read that snakes don't even have a sense of smell. I think the best way to get rid of it is to have it trapped and removed.

I do the same as the other responder. Spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes and rinse it off with the hose. If there is a little left a damp sponge will remove it easily. This is the best bug remover I have ever used, even if the bugs have been on for awhile.
