Has anyone had success getting rid of scarlet lily beetles and their eggs/larvae with this product?

I don't know about scarlet lily beetles, but it has been great on spider mites and white flies. The major benefit is that it is non toxic to humans and pets. It does take successive applications and thorough spraying/cleaning.

The label specifically says its effective on Japanese beetles. I can't say from experience if this is true because I don't have a beetle problem.

I checked with my husband and he said "yes it does inhibit new growth as well kill current suckers". I know this is the only product that works for us and it is far more expensive at the local nursery. Hope this is helpful to you.

I was recommended this gel to kill a bug that lays eggs on eyelashes and lives there. I wish I remembered the name of the bug but this gel when used 21 nights consecutively is suppose to kill the bugs and eggs. It can cause some morning blurriness but cleaning the gel out with a face cloth will help.

I used it on leaf miners because they are inside the leaf and a surface spray wouldn't kill them. Haven't tried it on scale, but it should work because it puts something in the tree sap that kills the bugs. We're eating the lemons and oranges from the trees, and so far (six months) have encountered no problems.

Yes, we have had some horrible infestations in our rental properties. So I have only used this with other means. Make sure you put borax along run sites, under fridge, anywhere they have to pass to get to food source. Then we make sure all food cleaned up under fridge, stove, around toliets ect. Then I put drops of this where there nest are which usually is in kitchen. They track borax to nest which kills babies and the poison kills them. Drastic measures if bad infestation. Hope this helps. I have never had to reapply poison by doing this. But if this doesn't work it could be the neighbors house. I've seen this as well that's a whole nother ball game! Good luck

Don't know about the eggs. I assume it kills the larva on contact since it stopped the bugs dead in their tracks but it also doesn't have any residual effect either. A few hours after spraying it on pillows and my couch I found bugs crawling on the areas I had sprayed. I was disappointed. Since my epidemic was pretty much isolated to my couch and somewhat to my bed (soon as I discovered them I quit sleeping in my bed so they didn't multiply there). I eventually ended up hauling all my furniture out to the curb (it was old), put encasement's on my mattress and box spring and then moved 1,200 miles away. I haven't seen a bug since moving thank God. Good luck. Don't know about the eggs.

I have used these traps for years and find them very successful for: 1. flies, 2. wasp, 3. other flying insects but no bumblebees. In fact I have one trap setting directly over our carpenter bees nest and none have ever gone in the trap. I personally use Hornet spray for the bees which kills immediately in hole or out.

Yes this product does take care of them as well as mealy bugs etc. I have found that sprinkling the product onto the soil and then watering it in works quite well. I had mites as well as aphids on a hibiscus and it worked to eradicate them all.

Not an issue for me in Michigan. But has worked on all insects in a very damp basement & outdoors. No residue so I use it on main living as well. The best results so far after 5 yrs of use! No ordor, dries quickly. Do not try Bayer it's horrible!

Yes it says in the product listing pdf file that it kills: Leafhoppers, Leafminers, Whiteflies, Thrips, Mealybugs, Loopers, Caterpillars, Aphids,Fruit flies, Beet Army worms, Mexican Bean Beetles, this was directly copy and pasted off of the back of their label, hope this helps everyone

The ingredients in the Bed Bug Killer is peppermint oil,sodium lauryl sulfate,citric acid,glycerin,oleric acid and water. I'm no chemical expert or a rocket scientist, only thing I can tell you that it worked for me.It had to work because I was watching my granddaughter who at the time was 3 months old and all day long because my daughter went back to work. All honesty I say she got bitten twice while in sleeping in my bed, which is the reason why I was determined to get rid of the bed bugs. She is now two years old and I've been bug free for over nine months if not more. This is what I did.I wash all my bedding in hot soapy water.While the bedding was off I flipped the mattress,sprayed it with the bug killer.I also vacuumed under and around the bed framed.I washed the bed frame with a Borax salution(1/2 cup of Borax to 1 gallon of water). I also use this salution to wash down any wood area in my bedroom.I did this once.but I sprayed everything at least three times a week for a couple of weeks.Sure it was a little work,but it was still cheaper than exterminator.I keep a bottle on hand just for kicks and giggles now. I would highly reccomend this product. Also if it helps,I am very health conscious and think this product is very safe.

Yes. I use baits and gel. Gets rid of all of them. Dont use spray posons ,it keeps them away. You want them to come and take the bait.

I have used it for all sorts of bugs, etc., but haven't used them specifically for roaches although we randomly find one dead or dying. I am very happy with cyper and comparing it to pre-mixed, etc., it's a hell of a lot of killer for the money. g.r.derman, Homestead, FLorida

I have only used Volck Oil for white fly's which did work nicely! However, the product is no longer available for sale by Ortho but the why's, etc. I have no knowledge! I suppose its a petroleum based product or something but its an old product that worked for the majority of my life on all sorts of leaf-insect issues. Using on bark I never did but suggest you continue looking for your answer. I did purchase the last supply of Volck Oil from Amazon who might have some additional to sell! The big-box stores no longer have the product to sell. It would be my personal guess, tho, that a product like this should not be used on anything eatable! This is only a guess tho.

You can treat your lawn with this product during any season of the year that your ground is not frozen and then water lightly after application to soak spores into the soil. (taken directly from the box label). I used the product last year, 2013, before June. This year I found no Japanese beetles, and less than 7 mole hills which I treated with a garlic product inserted into the tunnels. As of today, August 2nd 2014, I have found 2 mole hills. My yard is 100' x 60' approximately. So, for me, this product has worked well.
