This stuff works great. What I do, is double the dose in one gallon. keep the pets away until the stuff drys. When temp is above 80 it should dry in about 20-25 minutes. pets should be okay then. I also only spray the exterior of my home about two feet up from the foundation and around the lower portion of my window seals and entry doors. Hope this info helps.

In my experience, it's far cheaper if you buy on amazon. The only reason I mention this is because you mentioned Walmart. Now as far as I know, the active ingredient in this gel is formulated to kill roaches only. NO ANTS. It may be lethal to them, but I recommend getting something specific for ants.

I used peppermint oil (just a few drops) diluted with lots of water in a regular size spray bottle to kill roaches in my house. I made a mixture of (equal parts) borax, flour, and sugar to sprinkle around the outside of my house and it killed off all the roaches! Any of the roaches that had got INSIDE my house I sprayed with the peppermint mixture and they died within seconds. I also sprayed the peppermint inside the house along the walls, baseboards, entryways, to futher deter the roaches/ants. It worked wonders. Highly recommended, and I have pets and like to keep things organic/healthy/natural.

You might not see any dead roaches but the question is are there any live ones in my case every time I open the silverware drawer there was a roach after using this product I did not see another roach for weeks in my kitchen. The key is the roaches bring the bait to the nest and kill the nest so it is possible they are gone but you don't see any dead ones. Just keep it up for at least a week it'll work

Try Hot Shot. I was staying with a friend and they had them. I spent money on this product. It did not help at all. I still got bit. Also watched the bugs crawl as if nothing was there. As the $30 no chemical solution was a waste to. They actually became immune to it. Bst bet from my friend who owned a store is to but Hot shot bombs for bed bugs. I know hey sell them at Walmart. Also I worked in a hotel and besides using expensive heat treatment us houseman had to steam mattresses with an iron which is very effective.

I use it in my house like in my bedroom and the bathroom. We get these big water roaches or whatever they call them. They are big cockroaches as far as I'm concerned. They are the size of your thumb and fast! This is the only thing I have come to find that will kill them. Just spray in a premier around the room with a small handheld spray bottle. I use warm water and the product will turn into a milky color but will dry clear.

I have it out and I have big roaches come in from pine trees outside and I usually never see but one or two alive, one in a while. Most of the time I just fine dead ones. We have pine trees around and they get inside from time to time but usually all I see are dead ones. Not sure if this is what kills them but I do not have a problem with any roaches now.

I bought the Ecosmart insecticide for roaches. As far as I could tell, outside of a hideous smell it did absolutely nothing to kill anything but the time you spent to put it out. It may drown bugs, but I wouldn't trust it for anything else.

I used this product indoors to kill cockroaches in kitchen area, which worked great! haven't seen one since I started regular spraying. Hope you find your answer soon

No, I just set it down in strategic places. Did you just scatter them around? Place them on every corner in your kitchen && restroom. Roaches need food and water (like every living thing) so those are the 2 most important places. I put some like every cabinet too. Almost wasted the whole bag and I combined these traps with Roach Tablets, you can also buy them on Amazon.

Not sure, my issue with roaches completely went away. Had another challenge with black ants andthe roach prufe resolved that issue too.

It works very well on roaches. That's why we bought it, and we haven't see one since about a week after we plugged them in. Just make sure you have two or three units, depending on the size of your home.

Rosemary, I'm not sure about those specific bugs, but I was having issues with cockroaches and crickets. the bug spray from the store took care of the cockroaches, but not the crickets. I bought this stuff, and after the first spray the outside perimeter looked like a cricket and cockroach graveyard. I thought I was going to have to dig a trench for a mass burial in my front yard. From my experience with this product, I think it would be safe to assume it would knock out your beetle problem.

I purchased my roaches from Red Earth Worms.( 100 Mixed Size Dubia Roaches ) In my opinion, ANY roach would feel special the way this firm ships them. Mine were in a special box, inside styrafoam packing, with screened ventilation holes and arrived in excellent shape. I live in southern oklahoma and the temperature here is hot as hell, and these bugs arrived very healthy and full of pep. I would say they would have lasted for at least 1 week in the container, but they ship 2 to 3 day so time is not an issue. Go ahead, buy them, you will not regret it. I am raising mine and feeding my lizards mainly superworms until I develop a nice size colony and they are just doing gr8!

Greg, In general its not a wise choice to spray any kind of concentrate for ants. The reasons are many but the big one is that they can detect most any active. And once they detect it, they'll stay off the treated surface and avoid where its been applied. This will usually force them elsewhere and essentially complicate the situation. And since the ants you see represent less 10% of the local nest, even if you did kill all the ones you see it wouldn't solve the problem. So what do you do? Well for starters, don't spray inside the home. Instead use a bait. Something like Maxforce Ant Gel or Optigard Ant Gel. These options will readily be accepted by any foraging ant and within a few days, be brought back to their nest and once ingested, kill a bunch of the colony. At the same time you should spray the homes exterior with a "non repellent" active such as Phantom, Optigard Flex or Dominion. These actives won't be detectable by the ants and in turn, they'll readily walk over the treatment. This will allow them to "transfer" the active to other members of their colony so when the active finally does "kicks in" and goes to work, it will kill most if not the entire nest. That will usually happen in 3-4 days following the initial application. The good news is any ants surviving this will in turn know to stay away from the old ant trails for fear of something "bad" in the area so even if you don't kill them all, the non repellents will usually take care of the problem by forcing them elsewhere. Give us a call if you need more advice; its kind of hard to explain all of this via a post. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

No, it does not work at all. It created more of a problem then we had in the first place. If you have a couple of roaches here and there, if you use this device, you will have hundreds. It calls them into the house somehow and then they breed. We could not figure out why our minor issue grew into such a big problem. We called the manufacturer and they told use that we'd see a slight increase, but then it would die down. He was correct on the increase, but it did not die down until we pulled the units out of the walls and trash them. It even created a swarm in our lawn. It all stopped once the units were gone.
