does it kill beneficial insects?

Yes - although there are many insecticides that are much, much worse eg the nicotinoids etc., and many insecticides that are much, much worse for people. This one also breaks down fairly quickly in the environment. Keep it away from fish.

Hi, I don't know. I only used it for silver fish and small beetles. To be honest, it doesn't really do a good job of killing bugs, but it does slow them down enough to catch them. I like this product because it is non-toxic. It's good enough.

Yes, it kills all life cycles of invertebrates, including roaches. It may take up to two weeks for you to completely eliminate them as they are hardy but it will "get 'em."

Haven't tried it on stink bugs! I can tell u this stuff is really good. It got rid of my carpenter ants, wasps and those big spiders that come out during the fall. I'm pretty sure it will kill stink bugs for you!!!

It will kill any bug that is attracted to the light, so yes it kills moths too if they fly into it. Mostly mosquitoes are attracted to it though.

My understanding is that is kills any type of hard shell bug. The product is made of tiny little shrimp. The reason that is not toxic is because the diatomaceous earth breaks down the hard shell of the bug leaving it unable to be protected by its hard cover. While I have never read anything that says that it kills spiders I would think that it does.

Yes. If the DE comes in contact with an ant then it will eventually kill it.

I checked the label and it says that it does kill Japanese Beetles ( adults ) I have not had any here but it has kept all bugs and things off my plants. I love it.

Yes ,it says so on the container. It will kill just about everything that walks crawls or fly.

I have no idea since I bought it specifically for stink bugs and used it to spray the entire outside of the house. It worked pretty good for the infestation of stink bugs after we doubled the recommended dose. As far as mosquitos are concerned, it should help kill them but I can't be sure.

I can say from experience that it does not kill honeybees. Im a backyard beekeeper and had to do a lot of research to find this stuff. Most pesticides/insecticides will harm all insects, but this seems to only kill leaf eating bugs. I used this in my borer infested garden and it worked! No more dead squash plants! It will also work well for tomato worms. I do spray this at dusk just to be on the safe side. (Honeybees return to their hive at sunset.)

not that I know of. I use it to kill Argentine Ants which were destroying my a/c unit.

Yes... I used it in my home to kill large black ants (placing a bead of optigard in window corners, molding edges and such) and they were gone within days. I then used it outdoors on a tree where a large colony of carpenter ants had been living (careful to put the bait in deep, where only the ants would get it and not hurt other wildlife) and within just a couple of days there was no more activity.

It should, it killed fruit flies, yard flies, and the ones that bite (which I thought were horse flies)...

Yes, It works pretty well with almost any insects . It eliminated most of the roaches and ants , even some mosquitos were lying dead on the floor. sprinkle it every 2weeks.

If you are asking can it kill a bee then yes, it can kill a bee. It kills any small bug that touches the bulb. It comes with a mosquito attractive piece that you need to place in the bottom if you want to clear out the mosquitoes better but I don't know about killing a large amount of unwanted bees. I would call a professional if it were that serious.

Maybe not KILL but it'll certainly take down any flying insect so you can step on it. I think it destroys their wings then they're not going anywhere. I love it!
