Raid Max Bug Barrier Trigger Starter Kit, 30 OZ (1 Count)

I love the auto-trigger and the pinpoint spray so you can apply this exactly where you're aiming, and get in the cracks and corners where it's most needed. It's not 100% effective on first application, but I'm not sure if there really is one that would be and still be safe for household use.Update: I used this today (05/04/2019) because I was seeing ants in my apartment. I found the crack underneath my floor molding that they were coming through from outside. I sprayed twice in a row along/inside this crack and across the divider between the flooring and carpet to also try to break their scent trail. By afternoon there was not one in sight...so I guess if you get this in the right spot it does work first time! Impressive! It says it keeps killing for up to 12 months so I'm pretty confident that they won't be coming back, either.I'm not a fake profile, nor have I been compensated for any reviews...in fact, the reason I take the time to review purchases when I can is due to the fact that I find other honest reviews helpful and am tired of all the fake reviews that have polluted this site. If you find my review helpful, please take the time to rate it as such, not because I'll get anything out of it but so that others can see true reviews. Thanks and Happy Shopping!

I have purchased this at least 4 times over the last 3 years. It has a spray head that automatically sprays, but more important it works. Once a year I spray it around the perimeter of the house and no bugs cross the barrier, even when the monsoons happen. This year I didn't spray it early enough, and we had a roach, and an ugly centipede show up in the front room. Sprayed the perimeter like I should have earlier, and no more creepy insects. I also noticed as a side, that it works good for plants in containers. I have several plants outside, and the insects that like then the most are ants and little fungus gnats. Sprayed around the perimeter of the pots and inside, but not touching the plant, and these pests are gone. Works better than any insecticide I have experimented with in the past. I hope the manufacturer continues to produce the SAME exact formula year after year, because it works. I ordered an extra one for back up just in case.

I use this in our home in the spring and fall. Super easy to use; battery operated so it squirts continually when you push the trigger, the trigger fits nicely in your hand, and it is just the right size so it doesn't get too heavy. We live in the country, so we are prone to the typical spiders, occasional sugar ants, etc. This product works great for getting rid of them all. I know when it's time to spray when I see a few spiders creep out; all it takes is spraying this product around the perimeter of every room and we don't see any other critters (except dead ones) for at least six months. Product label says it is safe to use around people; however, I always spray the house on a day when we will be gone from the house just to be extra safe. Product is always dry, even on hard floors and carpet, after about three hours.

It works. No regrets on this. The sprayer is surprisingly powerful. It may have more pressure than the shower at my house. The nozzle could use some fine tuning though. It sprays like a split garden hose left out through a New England winter out the sides. This is not a precision instrument, but it works. Stand way back from where you're aiming (10-15 feet) or prepare to rinse your face off and wash those clothes you just put on... trust me. Also, your hand will be covered when you're done... Maybe even your elbow. Don't shoot it above your head, stand on a chair (safety third) or an OSHA approved ladder instead. Keep the pets away or prepare for a vet bill. It's going to work, but it might be killing bugs simply from the force of the battery powered firehose the put on it. Either way, heavy lean towards would buy again in the ongoing war on space invaders and their pseudo-intellectual [insectual?] discussions on the struggles of at risk inner-suburb larva and residentially zoned colonialism in the outer cusp of western MetroWest Boston, the east rim of East Central MA(...I gotta say it was a good day...) hehe... or Western Mass as the soon-to-be debt riddled, higher education carpetbagging, housing cost inflating squatters east of Rt 16 call it.Oh local references on Amazon reviews... Jeff Bezos is going to personally suspend my Prime account if I keep writing reviews like this. I should probably write a book instead of writing reviews and release it on Amazon so that I can keep feeding the consumerist indentured servitude mechanism that feeds the furthering of the impending cataclysmic demise of society and most of the mammals on the planet. Woo... sorry... I got some things to get off my chest... that felt good.Anywho... the product works, they sell the refills at national pharmacy, grocery, and monolithic warehouse chains as well... so keep that sprayer head and maybe buy more. And I had an idea... *even though they say don't* you could clean it out real good and win the next water gun shootout, skirmish, conflict, occupation, or revolution against your friends and sworn enemies. *NOTE - I am not advocating you do that, sarcasm is hard to identify in text, follow the instructions and safety guidelines... if you read down this far I can tell you're not qualified for a Darwin Award, so you already knew that*

As much as I needed this product to work, it did not. It was SO expensive and straight up didn’t do a think. I sprayed it around my kitchen days ago and again today and I came back and just saw a roach crawling around one of the main places I sprayed, behind the oven. My house is clean for the life of me I’ve been fighting roaches for months with only a control of the problem, not eradication. I don’t know what else to do but burn down my apartment and even so they may survive as I’ve seen one crawl into the oven, put the heat up to 800 (self cleaning cycle) and have yet to see said roach crawl out. Perhaps I have a bigger issue than I previously thought still, for $50 and no results, my feelings are pretty hurt.
