    Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the pesticide. They mention that the container was less than half full, and the powder inside only comes up to about. The product stinks, and takes over the entire space. Customers also say that the bottle size is deceiving, as the powder only comes to about. The only drawback is controlling the amount, as it's easy to use too much.

    "...3. The container is a pretty good size, but it's only half full. Yes, the label says there's 12 oz...." Read more

    "...I’ll have to reapply. I do wish the container was smaller to have a better idea of the product amount opening and seeing half full was upsetting...." Read more

    "Title says it all. Just spinkle it and wet it. Very large mound and 2 days later all the ants were gone." Read more

    "...’s a great product , works great but you get two big bottles and not even half full and its sealed ...." Read more

    Works great
    5 Stars
