I prefer Spectracide for everything outdoor related, started with their concentrated weed killer, it worked so good and for so long I decided to try out their other products, this is the 5th year using it.The Ant Shield, like the weed killer, it works a long time, I buy subscribe and save only ONE can a year, for us if a mound pops up I spray it and they don’t return until maybe the following year, this stuff is no joke, we spray a outline around our WM trash container once at the beginning of spring and no ants is ever seen on or in the trash container for the year.Even kills spiders, the wife is a arachnophobia, I wasn’t home one evening so she thought to spray it with the Ant Shield and she said it was dead in under a minute, I was curious how it would work on brown recluse and black widows since I see them quite often on our property, BW dropped dead in about 5 minutes, BR in 2-3 minutes, so makes for a great spider spray as well, i spray around the areas where I use to see them and we don’t see them nowhere near as much as we used to, so their claim it also kills spiders is accurate, unsure about roaches, ticks or the other insects listed, but usually if a spray can kill spider’s then any other insects won’t survive.It has a typical chemical smell to it, maybe not as strong as the other leading brands, we never use it indoors.The lid to me comes off easily but there’s resistance, a child should not be able to open it, the wife has a hard enough time too.Has a excellent spray nozzle, it fans out and saturates evenly, never getting any on ourselves.Excellent value, cost a little more but saves at the same time, before switching to Spectracide, we would go through 3-4 cans a year of the other brands we’ve used.Definitely worth it, highly recommend.
