I don't think this was right for the target pest. I wanted to kill flies and midges and it was not as effective as I had hoped.
I probably need delmetherine.

Either way, when combined with the "Food Grade" diatomaceous earth I filled it with, I felt like a damn bug assassin on a war path.  Spring had rolled up, and it was appearing as though the bugs had out maneuvered the spiders this year and were everywhere.  Beetles, earwigs, ants, on and on.

This stuff though is a joy to use.  Not horrible chemicals, no "OMG IT TOUCHED ME" moments, just puff puff and uh move on.  Yes we humans can actually eat the stuff if we're so inclined (food grade) you just don't want to breath the stuff as it's dust and unhealthy for you.  But with pets running around it's a great way to eliminate crawling insects without worrying about poisoning the pets, or your garden, etc...

So yeah diatomaceous earth and this puffer were/are a huge win.

Maybe worth a try but it didn't make any difference for me - at least for insects.  Maybe works better for other pests.

I've only had these up a few hours, but I've already got a pile of dead flies on the floor. My house has been increasingly inundated with flies for the past few months, and I just could not take it anymore! These things are pooping all over my mini blinds. I used these stickers and I also sprayed the window sills and screens from the outside with flying insect killer, so I am not sure how these things affect the problem long-term. But I did watch a fly, within five minutes of putting this sticker on my window, walk across it, pause, and then keel over. So it does indeed attract and kill the flies, as stated.

I agree with other reviewers that the application instructions are very unclear.  It would be so easy to just label the sides, like "peel this side off first" like they do with Command strips. They should be more careful with designing these since it is poison we're dealing with here. Fortunately I guessed right the first time, but it did have to be a guess.

either the mouse i had was just too smart, or these things don't work.  maybe my mouse didn't like the crackers and peanut butter i used?  i don't know.  the only thing these drew in were lots of ants.  the mouse is gone, but it's not because of these traps.  =  traps still set up for future mice... or come summer when the ants come out again... hopefully you'll have better luck.  will update if i ever catch a mouse with one.

I had recently moved into a new house at the end of last summer and it was a nightmare. first there were roaches the first month and then once the weather dropped the mice moved in. i'd be sitting at my bed and it' would zip behind my bed then across the room behind my television and into one of my closets startling me every time.

we had put down wooden snap traps and those newer spin traps (which it completely ignored) but neither worked. it would just nibble on the bait but not trigger the trap. we even brought in a friend's cat but all that did was cut down the number of times it'd zoom by during the day.

frustrated i decided to try these sticky  traps, not the most humane way to do it, but the little bugger was starting to get into our food and had to go.

the product shipped fast and i set up about 3 in locations i knew it liked to emerge and run past. by the time i was ready for bed i heard it rustling caught in the trap, i finished it off and that ended my troubles.

Pros:
-the product comes peanut butter scented but i added some oat cereal and a bit of ham to it
- worked fast, caught the little bugger in a couple of hours after i put them down
Cons:
- you gotta finish it off manually
- if you have pets and kids you gotta be careful cause the glue on the traps are pretty strong

I've tried using assorted repellents like this for a while, always with mixed success. It's mixed enough for me to somewhat suspect more of a placebo effect--I want it to work so I think I notice more effect than it has.

However, that being the case, there is enough of a indicator it has an influence in keeping away pests. But, I've found that if I try to use this as a complete solution, I'm both disappointed and quickly run out.  For me it works best with more of a targeted approach, using it where I particularly don't want pests to be or to go through--gaps in fences, openings between brush.  I have to be careful because I likewise don't want to use this where I or my family want to be.

Mostly, I find it's helpful to keep our yard a relatively unfriendly place--so that we don't get overrun.  I've noticed a decrease in critter activity, so for that I keep using it.

Only been using this for three days and so far it doesn't work for the bats in my ceiling... As for other pests, I wouldn't know since I don't really have a pest problem

It's been on for a while now. See no improvement when it comes to my bat problem. Better off going getting rid of those buggers the hard way.

The rats just used this as a appetizer just made their poop green. Also used the One Bite stuff. Buy a small game trap and put peanut butter for bait. The trigger for the trap was not sensitive enough. solution was to add a little weight with a magnet. Attach the weight to the trigger mechanism with the magnet. Then all they have to do is barely walk on it. caught about 12 to 20 rats till there where no more. These were big rats about the length of your forearm. after you catch them drown them in the cage (wait at least 5 minutes else they come back to life) I started shooting them with a co2 BB gun. If nothing else just put a little poison in the cage after you catch one. The chihuahua got sick. Thought he had gotten in to the poison. A $600 ER vist later was a false alarm. My Other dog died from somehow getting hold of the One bite stuff, it was nailed down and everything. With the trap solution you don't have to worry about that and it is less expensive in the short run. I spent over $100 on all these Poisons. The trap solution costed under $50 and will be there if they come back. http://www.amazon.com/Rat-Trap-Small-Animal-Humane/dp/B013FLER72/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1454086141&sr=8-4&keywords=small++trap

My soil is a standard top soil with clay and I'm sorry to say these did not work for me. I followed the directions and placed 2 of them, one in the middle of my back yard which is a 60 x 75 foot area and the other in the middle of my vegetable garden which is 24x24. The gophers destroyed my onion crop, chives and damaged some of the carrots and potatoes, they are still in my yard 6 months later. I even spread the caster oil pellets per direction hoping to get rid of the critters, but they persist. Poison is not a good alternative for 2 reasons, the pets and the residue can be harmful to humans if used in a vegetable garden. I would return this product if I could, but wanted to give them a fair test.

This is a poor pest control method, no matter how you feel about rats, mice, birds, snakes, spiders, etc. You have to be really detached to not empathize with anything caught in these traps, and you're likely to catch anything but the pest you're trying for. I used a similar trap when frustrated by flies swarming my dog's food. I caught very few flies and one very lovely little bird. I couldn't decide whether it was better that the dogs had found it first and killed it, or if I might have been able to end its life in a more humane way. Getting it out of the trap was impossible, even dead. I've seen these traps in an attic, they had all sorts of little critters stuck to them. Fortunately for me most of them were dead when I came across them. The one that wasn't, I couldn't help. I'm not an animal rights activist. I eat meat and believe in the order of life. But to use traps that glue an animal down and make it slowly starve or die of thirst is simply wrong. These are inexpensive and convenient, and maybe in special circumstances necessary, but I believe there are several better options. These should be used only as a last resort.

Not very effective on my gopher resident. It moved to the other end of the yard, well within the stated range of this repeller.

Could be my own fault here, this I'm aware of but disappointing nonetheless. I was very much looking toward to these baby mantises.

I found the instructions not to be educational enough. A bit too simple which led to mistakes that potentially put the eggs in harms way. Only after my own research, things which the instructions did not cover, did I realize I made some mistakes with them. The eggs may have potentially been refrigerated too long on my end. There's conflicting information out there on this. Some sources say no more than one week, I was told it didn't matter. In the end, I'm not an expert.

My advice to others who are considering buying praying mantis eggs, is to do a bit of research first. This was an impulse purchase, by advice of my friend to help my garden fight against pests.

This stuff was completely useless to me.  It didn't kill or repel the bugs that needed to be killed.  I have this problem with these weird little beetles that are attracted to my cats food.  I sprayed it liberally all over them... nothing.  They were just fine.  I sprayed around the cat dish to try to repel them.  They didn't notice or care.  I had previously purchased another brand of a similar item and sprayed them on ants and it didn't work either, but I was hoping another brand might be better.  I guess not!

I tried Raid Ant Bait in my classroom. I placed four of them on each corner of my classroom. They had no effect whatsoever. There were small sugar ants before. They are still there several days later. It purports to bait ants and then have them spread poison to their colony. Not strong enough for Florida's pest issue. 1/5 stars.

Caught many garden pests, but I am afraid it might have captured a few good ones as well. I purchased it hoping that the sticky papers would catch the Mexican Bean Beetles that have plagued my husband's vegetable garden for the past couple of years, but this year we were plagued again. For that reason I gave it 3 stars.  It didn't touch them.

I noticed droppings in my garage for more than a month. I tried the d-Con no-touch mouse bait, but it was untouched.
I thought maybe they were too big to enter the plastic box. I removed the bait and left it outside. They didn't dine on it, and thumbed their noses at me by leaving more droppings for me to clean up.
Then one night I decided to sneak up on them That is when I noticed two large rats prancing around in my garage. When I turned on the light, they decided to head back to their "home". I followed them run and hide under a log in the back yard.
I decided to get this rat poison cake, that can be broken into 4 pieces. I left one near their home, and two in my garage and one near where they come into my garage.
I noticed they were dining on it, because I saw some crumbs left over and the cake were moved around. I moved the cake back. This went on for about a week.
Then yesterday I noticed both of them lying motionless, one was dead in my garage and another near its home. They looked cute though.
It needs patience, but it worked.
