STEM Kills Ants, Roaches And Flies: Plant-Based Active Ingredient Bug Spray, Botanical Insecticide For Indoor And Outdoor Use; 12 fl oz (Pack Of 1)

I'm updating my review: I LOVE THIS STUFF AND NOTHING ELSE WORKS LIKE IT. It's easy. As mentioned below they state STEM may need reapplication, but not that often. And, a little goes a long long way. Plus, because the price is right, you can continue to purchase it as you need it. Critters really hate it and go away. It is so worth it. If you spray them they die immediately but I don't care if they die. I just want them to stay away and they do! The smell is overwhelming and I don't care! The scent alone DETERS anything from insects to rodents. It keeps me from having to set traps. It keeps me from using neurotoxin sprays. I love it and wish it didn't smell so strong but THAT'S WHY IT WORKS!!! It's only essential oils and it is all natural.After the third yellow sac spider (and he seemed well-fed) landed in my bed, I had - had enough. I give a quick SPURT anywhere I might see a cobweb or in corners and on the ceiling fan ...because they seem to like it up there, dopes. Regardless, the smell alone is a deterrent! Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't see them at all! Wouldn't it be nice if they just stayed away? I don't mind reapplication because it doesn't take much. A SPRITZ DOES THE TRICK. Thankfully the price is right or I would look into other options but the lemongrass in this product is despised by spiders and rodents. A small spritz and your whole room will be a deterrent. I would now like to get some sleep and think I will. I don't like seeing creatures and I don't want them around. This keeps them away in the first place! Isn't that what you want? Don't hesitate. Don't bother with ant traps. Use this and repeat the usage until it stops. You can use traps outside the house, if you have more trouble. It does leave a horribly oily residue so don't spray it anywhere you can't wipe down later. That's the only drawback and it's not a big one.Despite the fact that this may need reapplication, it's surprising how well it works. I had to leave one of the homes unoccupied for quite a while (years). I bought this for ants, but was surprised to find that some mice had also taken up residence in the basement. I would spray and although the scent would dissipate, it actually took some time... Longer than they say on the bottle. I also found wetting cardboard, cotton balls or anything absorbent could be placed in various locations and that makes for easy cleanup. I'd simply spray again, and eventually, it seemed they did not want to come back. As far as the ants go, they are dead on contact. All I needed to do was find the general location where they were coming from and it was over. One small word of caution, if you are sensitive to smells, you won't get away scott-free. It may be natural but a little goes a long way. Overspraying, was overwhelming. It gave me headaches. IT WAS STILL WORTH IT! Don't overspray.

This stuff works well. I had infestation of these tiny ants in my camper. I sprayed this all around the edges and seems. In the cupboards etc. it is very strong smelling. It’s very oily. It doesn’t stain. Sprayed it at night and the next morning there gone. These ants want nothing to do with this stuff. I went in after treatment and cleaned all the residue up with antiseptic wipes. It makes an oily mess but cleans up easily. I recommend this product because it works well. The smell will go away with time. It’s not a bad smell. It’s just kinda strong.

I have a Golden & two cats & did not want to use insecticides inside the house for the sugar ant invasion in the kitchen. Be aware that it's an oil spray so it will leave a film everywhere. But it kills the little demons immediately & I was able to clean up the residue with a cloth & they haven't returned. Finally got around to doing the outside perimeter spray with actual pet-safe insecticide & set off a few bug bombs in the crawl space. So between the three different assaults we are free of ants & every other bug that might want to live in our house with us.

When I write a product review it's because something changed my life - this stuff KILLS ants and smells simply like cinnamon! We had ants in our kitchen for the first time ever this year and I wanted something mostly natural because of food, kids, animals, etc. I sprayed down counter tops then wiped up excess on food surfaces with a disinfectant after 24 hours. NOT A SINGLE ANT after 2 months, and we had A LOT! Has kind of an oily feel but cleans up well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My only regret is that I didn't know about this stuff sooner. This works really well at getting little brown ants and carpenter ants out of the house. For years I've had issues with these ants invading my house in the spring or after it rains. This year has been particularly bad. I don't want to use anything that will hurt my cats. I tried spraying this at the places where the ants enter my home, mostly around the kitchen sink window and back door. The ants hate it! I let it sit for a while for the ants to get the message I'm not playing around. Then I wipe it up, because it leaves an oily residue. Sometimes I need to reapply after a few days but the ants become fewer and fewer until they disappear. I didn't think it would work on the big carpenter ants but I blasted them and their entrance within hours of them infesting and they left. The smell is a cross between rose and geraniums, and to me, it's pleasant. I recommend this spray to everyone now.

The next door neighbor moved out and we inherited their roachies. I have pets and children so we purchased this spray hoping we could use it sparingly to treat problem areas and for direct contact to terminate the bugs. I didn't mind the smell too much. It's a smell of lemongrass and some other essential oils, and not fumes. Lemongrass makes he nauseous but I was willing to use the spray because it's natural / harmless. I read the other reviews on the hazard of applying to walkways, so I did not. The other household members did not get the memo and immediately complained about the "chemical" smell. I told them they weren't chemicals but oils, but they don't care what it is. They just don't want me to spray the liquid anymore.I just received the product last night, so I can't rate the efficacy on wether it ends the bugs or not. I will update this review if I can find a way to continue using the spray without anyone else being affected.

Great product works well on flying insects, only problem is it will leave residue after you sprayI used outside on small flying mosquitoes killed them mid air and it has a pleasant smell that I think helps repel bugs , safe for pets and humans , price is not to badI would purchase again
