Insect Deterrent-20LB Bag| Monthly Insect Shield| Multi-Purpose Insect Control for Outdoors| Prevents Ants & Other Insects

The Insect Deterrent 20LB Bag markets itself as a monthly insect shield, promising multi-purpose insect control for outdoor spaces, with a focus on preventing ants and other common insects. After using this product, here are my observations.One of the most appealing aspects of this product is its claim of being a multi-purpose solution. The idea of using a single product to deter a variety of insects is certainly attractive, especially for those of us who prefer a simple approach to pest control. In practice, I found that the deterrent was indeed effective against ants, which were noticeably less prevalent in the treated areas. However, its efficacy against other insects seemed to vary. While it did offer some reduction in the presence of flies and mosquitoes, the effect was not as pronounced as with ants. This suggests that the product may be more effective against certain types of insects than others, and users should have realistic expectations about its broad-spectrum capabilities.The monthly application is another key selling point. The convenience of applying the deterrent just once a month is a significant advantage over products that require more frequent applications. This feature is particularly beneficial for busy individuals who may not have the time or inclination to engage in constant pest control efforts. In my experience, the monthly application schedule was generally sufficient to maintain a reasonable level of insect control, although I did find that heavy rainfall could diminish its effectiveness, requiring a reapplication to maintain the desired level of protection.In summary, the Insect Deterrent 20LB Bag offers a convenient and effective solution for controlling ants and provides some level of deterrence against other common insects. Its multi-purpose nature and monthly application schedule make it a practical choice for homeowners looking to simplify their outdoor pest control efforts. However, users should be aware that its effectiveness may vary depending on the type of insect and environmental conditions, and should adjust their expectations accordingly. Overall, it’s a solid product that delivers on its core promises, but with some nuances to consider.

This helps with coop smells and fly control. Chickens poop a-lot and this product helps with the smell. Make sure you add enough that is has room to be pecked around. The first time we used it we did not go thick enough and the chickens had it smashed down to nothing in a few days.

I've been recommended this by almost everyone I know to help my chicken coop routine out, and it's exactly what we needed! This smells so refreshing on its own, so it's nice to know it's a good deterrent too! Keeps our coup fresh-smelling, and it comes with a scoop!

I originally bought it to get rid of flies. I'm not sure if it helps with the flies or not the next day we had a hundred degree weather which pretty much kills off the flies.

This works amazingly well for chickens. I am new the the chicken game & I love this stuff. After I clean up the poop shelf under the roost (which I do frequently) I just sprinkle a little along the shelf & it keeps the odor down. Summer is right around the corner so we will see how that plays out. There is no odor from the product, it comes with a ziplock top & was delivered in a timely fashion. I cannot compare it to any other product as I haven’t used anything else but my chickens are unbothered by it.

I am using in my chicken coop like a protection and only once I have some mites. No smell. I might buy again

Love it texture is almost like sand. smell is similar to wet sand or wet soil. Used it inside the home and around the house due to a lot of fleas. Will update in a week.

This is a must have if you have a chicken coop, goat or livestock pen, Helps with the bugs. Keeps things smelling better
