Does this insecticide work as good as or better than the Onslaught Insecticide in the way of killing off meat eating Hornets/Yellow Jackets by baiting &amp; attracting them using some type of raw meat that has this Suspend Sc Insecticide on the raw meat...

I have never tried this method, however I am sure that if you can get them to ingest the suspend sc it will kill them.

I wouldn't trust this product since it seems to be mislabeled. Imidacloprid is a serious insecticide & according to the literature I've read it's effective against carpenter ants, fleas, etc., but not as effective as fipronil, which I can couch for. In any case, it's even more toxic to bees and should be used with great care. Before buying anything like this it pays to do a lot of research.

This stuff doesn't work like a bug-killer...more like a repellent. I've had wasps, bees, mosquitos and flies around the back patio where I have the "egg" and they just fly away after a short time. Our back neighbors have a pool and we get the brunt of the bugs from the water source. The wasps took longer to go away. We were afraid they'd make another hive/nest where they do every year, but they didn't. You do have to refill it (I use only about two tablespoons at a time), but it lasts through the summer and we live in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Just a small warning, the liquid you pour into the egg smells like a very strong flower. My husband doesn't like the strong scent; I think it smells nice and goes well with the rose bush I've hung it in. Two of our friends thought they were smelling the roses, but neither them, nor I, wanted to stand around it for very long. Our patio is enclosed on two sides, with the back and side yards open. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if it kills black widow spiders with direct contact. I used it for the roach problem that I had at my apartment and it had worked perfectly. Well even though roaches didn't die when I sprayed it directly on them, I did notice an exponential increase in dead roaches in the days followed to no roaches till now. Now not only I don't see any roaches in my apartment, but also not any other bugs. So to answer your question from my experience I'm confident that it will get rid of black widow spiders possibly by both ways of contact.

I have a big yard and have tried several kinds of hornet and bee control. Nothing!!! works better than honey and water. Otto E. Kinzler

I don't know the answer, but my gut would tell me to use the one that sprays the furthest distance - toward nightfall when it is cooler, so most of the group is inside the nest and less active. You might want to look at this reference and see if this brand has a stunning agent to prevent them from coming out and stinging before you can take cover! Also take care not to crush any as they release alarm pheromones that bring the rest of the colony to their rescue. http://www.wvu.edu/~exten/infores/pubs/pest/hpm7002.pdf I would also try to figure out what attracted them there in the first place - spilled drink, etc. to prevent future infestations!

Sorry it took so long to answer back. I've used only on carpenter ant and wasps!! It works great on those two.

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

This product is worthless in south central texas. The product I use and have found most useful/easy-to-use/safe around pets and wildlife, is BAYER Complete Insect Killer with Imidacloprid and Cyfluthrin. Good luck with Triacide - only luck has a chance of working.

No idea i know it wirks well around the house for insects by leaving an invisible layers, so that when self cleani.g insects such as roaches it affects tbere nervous system. I believe if you put it on the meat it may kill them if they land on it if they are slf cleaning. I knlw spiders are a little tricky because they do not clean thwmselves,but from what i understand it kills the beacuse of the trace amounts of insecticide left on other insects they eat so maybe. I would contact a local college science deprtment or the manufacture or just try it. If it doesnt work on the wasps you will have a vreat insecticide for around the house.

Greg, the best insecticide for ants is Termidor. No question, hands down number one. Baits tend to take a while so I nail them with Termidor. They cannot detect it period. However, do not spray Termidor inside. Good luck

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

Kelley,I buy a dozen cans at a time just so that I can spray around all doors, windows, and cable holes in interior/exterior walls. It knocks flies, bees, mosquitos, and any other insects out of the air instantly and even works against hornets. If you live to be 100 years old, I honestly don't believe you will find a better insect spray than TERRO. Lowe's discontinued it, and I started buying it from Amazon. No I can't find it on Amazon but was able to get it from The Home Depot for about $5.00 per can. Some joker was selling it on Amazon for $1.99 but was charging $6.94 per can for shipping. That's ridiculous, and I hope Amazon will start selling it again for $4.84. I hope this helps.

This will work for ANY kind of insect! Any bug that crawls thru it will begin to die. It's not instant like a poison but boy does it work! I keep a little of it in the back of my closets all the time. i put it out months ago and I didnt use much. I still find dead spiders and crickets in my closet every now and then.

Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!! I sprayed this product as stated on the label; soaking the leaves of the infected plants. Within a couple of days, I noticed a great improvement. I kept using the product and am now bug free. To answer your question, I had to re-read the packaging. And yes, it states that it is effective against spider mites. Good Luck in your fight. (And not to dispute anyone), but I tried a dish liquid and ammonia mix. It work for a while. But what I didn't realize was that the nasty little buggers were making colonies on all my plants. I had to get tough!!! Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!!

I would use the DuPont gel Advion instead. They tend to go for this bait more but since I already had the maxforce I used it in combination. Worth a shot. Some ants like the carbs some like the proteins

Only used it on sugar ants, and it was pretty effective. Why kill the spiders; they eat everything else. Of course black widows and brown recluse spiders are in a different category.
