I have a major problem with cave crickets! Will Conquer get rid of them? If so, how do I use this stuff?

I do not know if it will kill cave crickets. Chances are it will. When I sprayed our yard, it killed every single bug. You take one ounce of Conquer, add it to a gallon of water, and fire away. This stuff is strong! Be very careful!

I use conquer to control fleas but have noticed since starting to use it there are less crickets around.

I have only used it on havester ants, and it was fairly effective. It it a liquid that is mixed with water and poured directly on the opening of a mound. I don't think it is possible to eradicate an established harvester mound, but it has kept them in check.

Cockroaches are hard to kill. They hide in walls or the inner workings of old appliances. They eat anything (including each other). If you have an active infestation, it will take time to clear them out. To get rid of the bugs, you need to apply the powder (a light dusting is good) to areas the bugs are likely to cross over. The kitchen is likely to be a hot spot because they tend to nest in areas where they have found food in the past. Don't breath the dust when you apply it, but don't worry about putting it around food prep areas. It is safe to eat. If you dust your floors, leave it on the floor for at least a few hours. If you vacuum it up, reapply it in about a week. The dust won't harm the eggs. They can hatch a new generation later, which is why it is important to reapply. When you find a dead bug, flush it down the toilet. If it is carrying fertile eggs, they can still hatch after the adult dies. When you go a couple of weeks without seeing the little buggers, you can dust around the perimeter of the floors and counters from time to time. That should discourage them from moving back in. Persistence is the key here. Good luck! Hope to hear that this works for you. One side note. If you are going to vacuum this up after applying it to your floor, try to dust lightly. A little goes a long way and I have heard from others that too much in an area is not good for your vacuum.

It worked for me. I had a recurring ant problem that left me killing ants every night when I got home and spraying horrid bug spray, just to find more ants the next day. After a couple of weeks of this and a visit from the expensive bug guy (with no change), I tried Riddex. It worked in less than 24 hours and I haven't seen an ant in months.

Sorry, can't help you. Bought the Mole-Zap for a friend who has only used it for his mole problems. Sometimes it is best to consult a professional. Many of the pest control companies are using methods that are not harmful to the environment.

I have not had any situation with mites. I know Raid, etc works. This is an excellent product that immediately has killed roaches, etc that I have come into contact, if I could get a mite to sit still, I'd try it.

I left the pvc bottom in with no substrates and I never saw a single cricket get out. I was feeding my chameleon large crickets though, not too sure about smaller ones.

Once the active insects encase themselves, that is the "scale" and must be removed by hand using a cotton-tipped applicator dipped in 70% rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. I have a Meyer lemon that I let the scale get out of hand and spent hours removing them - well worth it, tree recovered well. But a soil application would help with this, as well as a spray on the non-scaled active insects. You will know that you have them from all of the webbing that occurs, usually around the base of the plant. I'm planning on purchasing this product (and a spray) to see if I can keep abreast of these nasty little critters.

I've went thru 2 jars of it with no results!!! I guess there is really nothing out there that will help them disappear! I'm now trying StriVectin-SD and there is still no results! I'm ready to give up!

You can kill most any bug even crawling ones if you can coax it to somehow make contact. Just covering the bug with the racket and jiggling it will make the bug hop then ZAP! Mosquitos get vaporized.

I have not used this product to eliminate bed bugs but the nature of the DE is that the fine power coats the insects and kill them by dehydrating them. I have wiped out whole ant colonies outside in my lawn by coating the mound with DE. It took a while for all the colony to eventually walk through the powder but eventually the ant nest died out. I have read about using DE in a small jar lid and placing your bed feet in that lid so when bed bugs climb onto the bed they must walk through the DE and that coats them and eventually kills them by dehydrating them. I imagine you could sprinkle DE between your box spring and mattress too where they may travel. DE does kill bugs but apply it to bed bugs would be your challenge since you have a whole bed to deal with and not one small area. Hope this helps. There are garden grade DE's available also that are less expensive. Pool companies use this grade in their treatment process so that might be a cheaper alternative if you need some quantity since the Nature's Wisdom is food grade it is more expensive. You will not want to consume the garden grade DE.

I doubt that they would solve your problem because silverfish are tough to get rid of. I suggest an exterminator before any damage is done to clothing, etc. I use the cedar balls strictly for the clean aroma they provide in drawers.

Because ism only feeding one bearded dragon the crickets lasted over a month! I have them fluckers orange feed and yellow diet (sold separately) ever couple of day at the bottom of the tank. Not the whole bottle just a small pile of each. They say you can slice up a potato and use that for food/water but my son frequently forgot.

That wasnt my experience. I vacuumed it right up. and by the way this stuff is great. I leave it out all the time in the back of closets and under sinks. I find dead crickets often!!

I bought the Ecosmart insecticide for roaches. As far as I could tell, outside of a hideous smell it did absolutely nothing to kill anything but the time you spent to put it out. It may drown bugs, but I wouldn't trust it for anything else.

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!!

It states to use product within 1 year. Here's the thing: It doesn't work. Roaches will either walk around it to avoid the product or they will stay trapped and spend the time reproducing. I wrote the vendor who apparently thought my Master's of Science degreee meant that I am an idiot. I think the positive testimonials are fake. Demon WP and Cyper WP work incredibly well, but you have to mix it w/ water and apply w/ a sprayer.
