Has anyone successfully used this to stop oleander-eating caterpillars?

So far it has killed all types of caterpillars for us on all of our plants.

I wish I could answer that for you. That moth appears that larger than the tiny moths I was trying to kill. I apologize that I don't know their name but I would not recommend buying large quantities until you know for sure. For me, this product didn't do any good. It didn't even kill aphids. I found out recently that my Lysol All purpose cleaner can drop a house fly right of the air. I would try it, if these moths aren't on plants that you appreciate :) Sorry I couldn't answer you question.

Yes, it kills moles, and moles are the only reason we use it. We tried everything for years and reluctantly went to a poison when the moles spread completely around our home and extensive back area. Our grass was repeatedly killed out from the mole trails, and mowing was difficult; even shrubbery and small tress were uprooted and killed. Shortly after placing blocks into the holes and trails, they were gone. It's the only thing that has done the job, and altho new trails eventually appear, it is easy to rid the moles from them when they are first noticed.

Sorry did not use this for moles and voles - purchased to try to stop deer for eating plants but it didn't seem to help.

We used it a few times over the summer -- basically until it ran out. Worked really well. HOWEVER! It also (unfortunately) killed all the worms. So our grass suffered a bit, I think, because of it. We also had lots of rain last summer, so that might've been the cause, but we did notice a preponderance of worm carcasses after applying the EcoSMART. So I would definitely keep it close to your house, and not use all over the lawn or in garden areas.

It takes a while for this product to work, so the sooner you use it, the better. I bought this product in late July last year and while the Japanese Beetles had already destroyed my lawn at that point, it did help to eliminate the birds pecking at the lawn for larvae. This summer I noticed some Japanese Beetles have returned, but they aren't interested in my lawn but rather my neighbor's fig tree. I've had absolutely no issues with my grass dying or the birds pecking at the lawn and I suspect it is because of this product. I'm not sure how it works, but it's working! I read somewhere that this stuff somehow multiplies in your lawn over time and then at some point needs to be reintroduced (years later). I wouldn't put off on using this.

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.

To add to my previous answer...not a big fan of insecticide....I only spray once a year in the spring and this seems to work well

I have been using this product on trees and shrubs in my yard for the past 8 years on maple, ash, and rose bushes. It has effectively controlled the emerald ash borer on the ash, and scale on the rose bushes and the maples. The borer has been killing ash trees in our area for years and this product so far has protected the ash trees well.

My parents have problems with squirrels eating the engine wires in their cars. Mothballs and dryer sheets (like bounce) have worked for keeping them away. I don't know if this works for squirrels but I still have not seen a single roach since I plugged in the 2 riddex things.

I love this stuff! I have not noticed that it kills or keeps away bees or butterflies. We have been inundated with mosquitos and can't go outside without 20 to 30 buzzing around us and our dogs. The Mosquito Barrier does not get rid of all mosquitos, but definitely makes going outside much more tolerable.

I found this product to be VERY effective. No more *new* gnats after 2 weeks. One tip I found online to be helpful is to put a small dish or saucer of apple cider vinegar near the infested plants. Believe it or not, the gnats are attracted to the vinegar and they drown/die in it. I would really hesitate to put a dish of sugar water out. Here in FL, at least, it would only attract more and different pests.

I really don't know. We used it in the garden to protect against caterpillars on our tomato and squash plants.

I found this powder to quite effective; it quickly killed my invading caterpillars. It comes in a squeeze bottle that makes it easy to coat the bottom of the leaves of the target plant. It is easy to use too much as a little goes a long way.

It will kill caterpillars that eat the leaves it is sprayed upon. Therefore I do not spray it on dill or milkweed so my butterfly friends are not harmed.

I Googled it and I suspect it is a good stuff. Here is a link to an article. http://www.post-gazette.com/life/garden/2011/02/12/Early-spraying-of-tree-can-control-infestation-of-magnolia-scale/stories/201102120113 and several other articles even from the UK.

The folks that make the very effective (against felines, that is) informed me that one of the ingredients is some natural oil that staved off garden creatures. I tried this stuff and no effect. I sprayed along fence lines and near travel areas but it dissipates quickly, in my coastal area, at least. i would not purchase this again. The triangles do work though.
