Smells bad, works great!

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

Verified Purchase

I bought this to use on indoor orchids that had issues with scale insect. The instructions on the package do include directions for orchids and scale insects, no guessing needed. After 2 treatments, scale insects seem to be entirely eradicated several months later, I'm very pleased.

The smell:
When the box arrived I had it unopened, sitting in the kitchen. A while later I thought maybe the trash needed to go out because there was a vague, unpleasant smell in the kitchen. Later in the day when I opened the box, I realized the smell was coming from the sealed pouch in the box...it's definitely pungent. I put the still sealed pouch outdoors, and I could still smell it when I was 30 feet downwind.

The smell is like kimchi(which I enjoy) that has taken a turn for the worse.

I ended up re-packaging this product in a glass mason jar. Probably not the best container in the world because it could shatter, but it keeps the smell inside.

Once the product is diluted in water, the solution doesn't have a very strong smell. After soaking the orchids in the solution and bringing them back inside, there's a faint odor after watering, but it's not too noticeable or objectionable.

Gets rid of fire ants very well, odor is horrible (but not as bad as finer powders)

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023

Verified Purchase

I haven't found anything as effective at killing fire ants than acephate. This product has a higher percentage of the active ingredient than other brands, and it's coarser, so the dust doesn't coat you if thee's little breeze when applied. The fine powder I was getting locally worked well, but was only 75% acephate, and the powder was so fie it created a cloud of pungent dust. This product sprinkles on with less floating dust, so I don't walk away coated in the stinky pesticide, and it's also wettable, so you can mix it with water and spray it on or use as a drench. Generally, if applied in the morning, you'll find the pile is dead the following day. This is a very strong pesticide, and it doesn't take much to treat a hill of ants. Used according to the directions, it works wonders on fire ants. We don't use it anywhere we grow produce, but sometimes it's necessary to use serious products, rather than relying on "organic' products that work poorly on fire ants.

Excellent for treating fire ants

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

Have been using this agent in powder form for some time, with good results. But, often takes 48-72 hours for colony to be dead and seems to be a fairly large percentage of colony migration.
Ordered this stuff - granular form, dissolves beautifully in water. Placed high concentration in hand-held quart pump sprayer and lightly sprayed mounds. Excellent results!! Entire colony dead usually within 12-24 hours and very little colony migration. Much better than the powder form.
Highly recommended.

Smells bad, really, really bad.

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2023

Verified Purchase

The smell is indescribable, but it works great. I either mix some of this in water and use it in a sprayer, or put it on the ant hills dry, depending on the size of the hill and the time of year. I'm not sure of the exact ratio of water to product that is recommended by the manufacturer because the type is so small that I can't read it, and the instructions are just too confusing to spend much time reading. But hey, we just want to kill some ants. What I do is mix about 1/2 cup product per gallon of water. That may or may not work for you. Just experiment and find what works for your situation. Whether I use it wet or dry, I always poke a long stick down in the ant hill so the poison will get well down inside the colony. I toss or spray a little extra around on the ground all around the hill. It does kill a lot of other insects as well, but it's too expensive to use as a general pest control product. I reserve this stuff only for fire ants. Which I have a lot of out here.
DO NOT put this stuff out next to or too near your house or it will run you out of the place, and when it rains, it just makes it worse. Plus, the smell lasts for weeks. SO, be warned. Within a day or two, the hills will be dead.

Great product, but read the instructions carefully- cannot be used on Zoyzia- will fill it. Great for carpet grasses. Note: use as directed- very strong.

My Areca Palms are very happy!

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

My potted palms were covered with white mildewy “stuff”. I had tried homemade nontoxic mixture, then tried Neem oil. Neither worked. Friends suggested this product and actually came and showed me how to use it. Within three days most of the white mildew (white fly?)?had fallen off the fronds and stems and a wipe with damp paper towel removed the rest. The palms are recovering and lots of new growth is appearing. It’s been several weeks of just watering; I haven’t fertilized yet. I was advised to wait a bit longer to do that.

We used 1.5 Tbsp product to four gallons water, mixed well.

The only downside was a stinky odor, and the need for wear masks and gloves While applying the product

Aphids were eating up my Night Blooming Jasmine bush and a pal recommended this product. I applied by pouring some at the base of the plant then hoeing it into the soil. So far so good. I'm storing the package in it's original packaging in a gallon zip lock bag near the bush. you don't want to store this stuff inside any building !
