5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product! *Updated*
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2010

We recently moved into our first home and have discovered that we are going to be having a problem with bugs! I have two cats that are curious creatures and I don't want them to ingest anything toxic so I bought this stuff along with the Wasp & Hornet Killer and I am happy that I did.

The Ant & Roach Killer has a very strong cinnamon smell, something that we don't mind. Since we purchased the bottle we haven't seen any ants or roaches but I did find a roach outside in our backyard trying to make its way into our basement. We grabbed the spray and sprayed him good and it works on contact. Other reviewers aren't kidding when they say the cinnamon smell is strong, two days later, I can smell cinnamon in our basement, which makes me leery of spraying it indoors. I can only assume every window and door will need to be open in the house when we use this stuff.

I would highly recommend this product if you are looking for an eco-friendly & pet safe way to get rid of bugs around the house. This product really works and it works well. The only thing to take into consideration is if you are sensitive to strong smells. While cinnamon is a great smell, this can be very overpowering.

Also, on the official EcoSmart website, it lists Wal-Mart as one of their vendors and I have yet to see this product at any Wal-Mart in my area, I would recommend purchasing this at Amazon.

Updated - August 5th 2011

I still love this product and it's still working for me. We get some small cockroaches in our basement and haven't been able to figure out where they come in from so I started to spray this around our basement door that exits to the yard, along the base, along the door frame and at places around our foundation that look like it could be an entry point - outside the house, not inside. Using this has significantly reduced the cockroaches that enter the basement, in fact, I haven't found a dead cockroach in over a month now. I have also been using this around our front door and other bug-accessible points and I have seen fewer bugs in our home over last year and I continue to buy this and I use it as preventative bug maintenance around (the outside) of my home.

Since my review was first written in March of 2010 I now seen this product at Wal-Mart & Home Depot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kills Safely, but Does Have A Strong Smell
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2009
Item Package Quantity: 1Verified Purchase
I agree with all the other reviews, this product does have a very strong smell of cinnamon and peppermint. BUT, that fact alone will not deter me from purchasing the product (in fact, I'm re-ing up right now.)

I have a KARAZY cat and I live in an old house in the South (i.e., fall = American cockroaches). I despise bugs with a passion and American cockroaches are the worst (aside from the German variety) and I needed a way to kill these nuisances without having to get anywhere near them and something that is safe to use around my cat. This spray works like no other and you don't have to worry about leaving a poisonous residue behind. Though the smell is strong, I'd much rather have a room smell of cinnamon than Raid and not have to worry about possibly dying from the fumes.

Bottom line: If you have a minor bug issue and fear that other insect sprays are harmful to your family and pets, suck it up and get Eco Smart. It works on contact and some of my friends actually think the smell is rather pleasant.

I'm just glad that someone had the gumption to make a non-toxic bug spray. THANKS ECOSMART AND THANKS AMAZON FOR SELLING IT!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works on contact, but isn’t a deterrent
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021
Item Package Quantity: 1Verified Purchase
This plant-based ant and roach killer is effective, but it doesn’t last long. My backyard has a recurring ant problem, and spraying this on the ants kills them almost instantly. You would think that the residue of peppermint and rosemary oil would act as a deterrent, but the ants are always back in the same place within a couple of days. However, it’s a pleasant scent — it doesn’t smell like a typical insecticide and is rather agreeable unless it drifts indoors and then it becomes overpowering.

So it’s a mixed bag. It’s effective with a nice scent, but it doesn’t discourage the insects from returning.

Although the scent, much like strong Pepermint, is not liked by some, I like its fresh smell..but the ants surely do not!! I spray this over my front and back porches
When summer begins. I put food out for needy animals and without this product, I would be over run with ants. It lasts for weeks, unless a rainfall washes it away. Then after porches are dry I just spray again. I highly recommend it. Also safe for pets and children.

1.0 out of 5 stars Smell is too intense and doesn't kill roaches
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2023
Item Package Quantity: 1Verified Purchase
Smells like 'extra' pepermint gum x1000000 and didn't kill after 1 hr and took over 5 min to slow down roach.

It was not only useless...it made me have to steam clean my carpet where i sprayed. The whole place was so minty you couldn't breath and have no idea how intense it must feel for my pets.

The roach did not slow down or do the typical flop over and wiggle legs. It just kept trying to get away fast. So i oversprayed. following roach and spraying.

After spraying so much that i couldnt stand the smell...it slowed down and flipped over
I closed door and came back to see if roach was dead after 1 hour. It was still moving legs albeit slowly. I eventually had to flush it down the toilet.

A little of this spray didn't work.
A lot of this spray didn't work.
A lot of this spray made me have to deep clean anywhere i sprayed to remove smell.

3.0 out of 5 stars Effective enough, but only sprays in a stream
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021
Item Package Quantity: 1Verified Purchase
Have used it about 8 times and it appears to be effective in either killing the roach or at least slowing it down so I can kill it. These bugs freak me out, so when I see one I just keep spraying the contents until the roach is within stomping distance so I can squash it. In 3 of the 4 instances where the bug disappeared, I later found it dead on the floor. Disappointed that I am unable to actually get a spray of the pesticide. I'm only able to get a stream.

We have a gazebo that I used to call a spider condo. A month ago I sprayed under all the chairs with the Ant and Roach spray and cleaned up the gazebo for summer. Usually within a few days the spiders have all moved back in. Well, it's been about a month since I sprayed and there are still no spiders under the chairs! I am sooooo happy!
