Customers like the performance of the pesticide. They say it works perfectly on their scorpion problem, and is effective on big outside roaches. Some customers also mention that it works immediately and efficiently, and that it's better than the expensive ones.

Customers are mixed about the smell of the pesticide. Some mention it works on stink bugs, kills the pests, and doesn't smell. It's safe around pets, and it keeps small bugs and insects away. However, some say the smell is terrible and the spider didn't die right away.

"...They all came out of hiding and slowly died. It did take a few minutes- it's not an "on contact" kind of spray, but it definitely got the job done...." Read more

"...Including tiny ants. The ants don't die a long time. I use bleach sprays and the ants die within 4-5 seconds...." Read more

29 customers mention14 positive15 negative

Customers are mixed about the killing ability of the pesticide. Some mention that it kills them quick, instantly, and repels spiders. However, others say that it takes longer than seconds to kill, it stuns them, and it takes a slow and painful death.

"...I am deathly afraid of spiders and this is amazing. It kills on contact. It also keeps spiders away if you spray door frames and window sills...." Read more

"...However, the effect is definitely not what it claims. It doesn't kill anything in seconds. Including tiny ants. The ants don't die a long time...." Read more

27 customers mention11 positive16 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the pesticide. Some mention that it sprays a good distance, is powerful, and long-lasting. However, others say that the spray doesn't jet out very far, making it useless unless you want stung. They also say that it mists, not sprays, and that it stops spraying with a third of product still in the can.

"...This does not squirt out as a fluid in a stream, it is a spray so it may get on you if you were spring upwards or longer distances, unfortunately..." Read more

"...Kills on contact (poisonous spiders as well). Sprays a good distance so I don't have to get too close...." Read more

"...spot, then this might not be your best option, because it comes out in kind of a fog. The Black Flag might be the best for that...." Read more

"...really gets in the way, and, once you do get it to work, it produces a light fog instead of the good spray that this product's can produces...." Read more

"...This spray is a nice wide area mist and just needed up to 3 sprays and did not need to use a lot...." Read more

Kills immediately

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2023

Style: Single PackVerified Purchase

I'm not gonna lie, I have a SEVERE fear of spiders and Joro spiders are everywhere. This spray works immediately! Kills on contact (poisonous spiders as well). Sprays a good distance so I don't have to get too close. I don't want to offend people so let me add I only spray my porch and garage so I can walk into my house.

Apply liberally and it will work!

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

So i initially didn't use enough of it - I'd just spray the curtains and the nooks and the doorway and windows. But then I decided to go all out - I sprayed every inch of my hardwood floors with it, along with the carpets, curtains and all around the patio outside the door (I find this is VERY effective because it doesn't even give them a chance to get in). It worked! I barely saw a single roach or bug in my house all summer. The few I did see were dead. Before, I'd see at least one per day, crawling around.

I recommend re-applying every 2 months or so - that seems to work for me - once a month if you really wanna be diligent.

The smell and fumes are unpleasant and overwhelming when first applied, especially in large doses, it makes make me cough and my eyes watery - both are temporary. I recommend spraying your whole house down right before you leave, then come back in 4-6 hours, the smell should be completely gone. Or, if you wanna do it room by room, I recommend spraying all rooms that are not your bedroom right before bed, then going to your bedroom and closing the door. Smell should be gone once you wake up. For your bedroom, just spray it right before you leave it and don't hang out in there the rest of the day/until you go to bed. If you can still smell the fumes in the air when you return to your house/room, leave again for a few more hours or until it's completely gone (it shouldn't take more than 8 hours after initial application, at most).

I still have to get the shoe.

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020

Style: Single PackVerified Purchase

Doesn't kill spiders, I literally sprayed a spider five times and I kept crawling around. I had to get a shoe to kill it. The whole point of getting the spray was so I wouldn't have to get a shoe and clean the guts off the wall. It's only use is to spray a spider so it drops off the ceiling which I then have to grab it with a tissue before it runs away.

Edit: it's actually really good at killing wasps. They die really fast and keep the wasps from returning to the sprayed spot. Had some trying to nest in my mailbox, sprayed them and they died pretty fast. Didn't have any wasps the rest of the summer! I'm giving it back some stars for this.

Kills the bugs

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2022

Style: Single PackVerified Purchase

Kills the bugs! I took the canister into my hand, pressed my index finger onto the button as I proclaimed onto the heavens “you shall have no fear as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death!!”

With this mighty elixir I have been question many spiders, and creatures of the night.

My house in the summer and early fall months will for some reason become inhabited by black widows, my only natural enemy.

These horrible creatures will work around every corner of the perimeter of my home, unless they penetrate my doors I must vanquish them and so I have chosen this product as my weapon.

The product sprays and upon contact will not immediately kill the bug.
The bug will recognize it has been sprayed and knows it’s life is close to an end.

It will try to escape as it’s been sprayed and then eventually, about two or three minutes later it’s movements will slow until it is incapacitated.

It is my understanding that it’s nervous system is disrupted by The chemical so it’s not technically dead once it’s incapacitated… so I would be wary of handling anything until you have a come sure that it has been completely vanquished. I recommend the stumping method or the ax body spray and lighter method… Once you cleanse the spider of it sins with holy fire then you may scrape its ashes into some kind of trash receptacle.

This does not squirt out as a fluid in a stream, it is a spray so it may get on you if you were spring upwards or longer distances, unfortunately this product does require you to become acquainted with your target… You need to be about a foot or two or three away by any farther and the product dissipates and has a likelier chance of getting on you.

Supposedly this is bio specific and doesn’t affect people but I would still highly recommend wearing some kind of mask, and gloves… Are you vanquish your pho with the fury of 1000 suns

It works...kinda.

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2018

Style: Single PackVerified Purchase

Button is very hard to depress, really takes some muscle to spray this thing. It also doesn't have very good range, you need to be pretty close for it to hit it's mark. It does kill the spiders after a while (20 - 30 mins it seems) but does not kill any new spiders that show up like most sprays will. Think I'll try a different brand next time, this one just is not up to par.

I dont know what rating warmth? Does... But I had a HUGEEEEEEEE black wider (yep I spelt it that way) directly on my porch light an I was just tooooo scared to attempt a squash n kill... So I bought this....and waited..... An when I had the bawlZ.... I went outside, barefoot in my hippy floor dress....aimed...an sprayed..... Charlotte was NOT thrilled.... Neither was I as I continued to hose her down givin her ALL I got..... Then out of the corner of my eye... Where I was not watching... Sprawled forth a fountain of spider varieties from under a porch chair I was not prepared to go off like the bomn it did.............so while still drenching Charlotte in her rain shower I had to also spray aim at the onslaught of legs coming for my feet..... So... This stuff does work..... But.... Um.... It will bring out EVERYTHING you wish to god you did not know was actually hiding...... It works super good on the big outside roaches though!!! The next day anywhere the spray touched on the ground left this perfect invisible line then followed by a slew of dead roaches lol
