Works well
By James
Been testing this out for a few months.

We live in an apartment complex and bugs, especially roaches has always been a problem. We hate using raid around pets and especially in the kitchen so I decided to look into this.

Pros: It works. Doesn't kill within 5 seconds like raid does, but it does kill within about 45 seconds with direct spraying. It's natural/biodegradable so I don't really expect it to work quite as fast, but it DOES work, for sure. I even sprayed a few and trapped them under a glass and checked them later to make sure they were dead.

Cons: This stuff breaks down really fast in direct light. We used an opaque (non-see-through) white plastic sprayer because I knew this was an issue. It's actually a pro for me that it breaks down in direct light so it's not building up toxins in your house. But, even after using a non-see-through spraying container the stuff lost it's potency after about a week of it just sitting in the sprayer. I have a new small metal sprayer that I'm going to try and see if it works any better.

The container it ships in also leaks if knocked over so watch that. Took me like 2 days to figure out what that intense pepper smell was before I noticed the bottle had tipped over.

Incorrect Item Shown In Picture
By Nathan
I have not used this product yet, but I wanted to warn others that the item shown in the picture is not what is being sold. The pictured item is Pyrethrin and Rotenone, while the product actually being sold is just Pyrethrin.

Excellent product, poor packing and leaky bottle
By Jason Wills-Starin
The product has been effectively and efficiently controlling the fungus gnats brought in by an infected set of strawberry plants but nothing for the larva. Prepare to do the 3 treatments every 5 days so you can thin down the adults and make it work. I think the product will serve there. Unfortunately, my small pint bottle showed up leaking, missing a third of its contents and with a faulty cap that does not still the foul smelling liquid from within from seeping out. I'm storing it in my hot garage which means it will not last the summer, but it's a price I'll have to pay. Great product, bad packaging.
