"Prior to trying Advion roach gel I had an exterminator come out to give me a quote on the unit. He said the initial spray treatment would cost $200, and to effectively control the roach problem he would have to come out for monthly follow-up visits. After a couple of rounds of Advion bait treatment, waiting about 3 days between applications, the unit is now ready to rent to a new tenant."
"I live in a three unit building and both of my neighbors bug bombed their units when I was out of town for two weeks- so the German roach infestation I came home to was unreal! I started spending a few hours a day at home deep cleaning but I couldn't even stomach the amount of roaches everywhere. I spent so much money on different bait gels, roach traps, sprays, borax, essential oils, and anything else I could find online and the most progress I was able to make was to clear the out of my shop (or at least off of my equipment) for a few hours at a time so I could get some work done, but nothing was working. Eight hours later I went back home and there were dead/dying roaches EVERYWHERE and the bait was gone."
"I just applied this all around my kitchen less than 10 minutes ago, so I can't say whether or not it is effective at eradicating an infestation yet but I will say this: the roaches definitely are attracted to it. I came back in my kitchen to take out some garbage and saw some roaches already busy devouring some of the gel I'd applied just minutes before. UPDATE 8/27: OK, so it's been a month since I first applied this Advion Gel and about 3 weeks since I last saw ANY cockroach activity in my kitchen. The first few days after application were a little frightening as I kept seeing a disturbing number of roaches, almost all dead or dying, in my kitchen but that slowed to a stop by day 4 and I haven't seen ANY signs of cockroach activity after that first week. UPDATE 12/2: It's been months since I applied this stuff around my kitchen and I haven't seen ANY roaches or signs of roach activity AT ALL since the week I first used it. UPDATE 7/3/2016: Final update - It has been almost a whole year since I used this stuff and my kitchen is still completely cockroach free."

I thought I found another gap where they might have been getting in, so I plugged it with more expanding foam, and the problem seem to go away for a bit, but they were just laying low, formulating their next plan of attack. Ants started trickling out from beneath the carpet edge again, only this time I was done with that namby pamby gap filler. I Googled "Best Ant Bait" and the first thing it pulled up was this product page for the Terro (which is only one "r" short of Terror--coincidence? I grabbed a box from a local hardware store (sorry, Amazon, even with Prime shipping, my problem was far too vexing to wait even one more hour), set them in all the strategic rendezvous points. Never in my life have I seen the crack frenzy that soon began, when literally hundreds of ants started pouring into these traps. I could hear them laughing and clinking their glasses and making awkward late night sexual propositions with complete strangers. It's been fun watching this microcosm of the apocalypse unfold with an aloof Mona Lisa grin on my face."
"Slowly but surely, they continued their onslaught and invaded my dirty laundry basket... and finally, my bed. I found the reviews of this product quite interesting and decided I would give it a go. I couldn't wait, so I even paid for the $4 one day shipping even though I have Amazon Prime. Surely enough, the next day, trumpets sounded, angels came down from heaven while light shined on my package of hope and wonder. Grabbed a bag of chips, and set my watch while I committed my crime. If you are looking to wreck havoc, mayhem, pain and misery on a colony on ants, then this product will work great for you!"
Bromethalin is a potent acute toxicant. Rodents stop feeding after eating a toxic dose so more rodents are controlled with less bait. Rodents stop feeding after eating a toxic dose so more rodents are controlled with less bait.

"We bought a home in Florida and weren't told about the family of rats living in the attic (I actually watched multiple adult-sized rats run down the side of my house one evening). Snapped on a rubber glove, threw about 2 lb of this sweet-smelling peanut butter flavored goodness throughout the attic, and within 2 days all activity completely ceased and nights became silent. Of course there was a foul smell that lingered for a little over a week (smelled like rotten diaper and forced us to sleep in the spare bedroom for a day or two), but in the end we couldn't be more pleased with this bait."
"We realized we had a house mice problem when we found holes chewed through the walls. I used two blocks of this and a few days later the house smelled like dead mice. Yes my house smelled horrible for like an entire week as they died in the walls but it was worth it!"
"We have a large plum tree in the back of our house and live near a creek, which apparently makes a good environment for brown rats."
"HOWEVER, 4 days ago, a rat set off the motion detector alarm in the basement, and both yesterday and today in two different opposite location of the house I have heard rats clawing their way up and into the walls again. So long as I live where I do we are going to have rats, but I sanitized my basement and sealed up what we could understand."
"This stuff is horrible (for your mice and rats)."
"Works great."
"Always a good choice."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Just about when I was thinking I'd have to bit the bullet and buy a new bed, I found the Eco Defense Bed Bug Killer. If it works, then I don't have to spend the hundreds of dollars it would take to buy an all new bed. I sprayed the floor under my bed. After two weeks of sleeping in my formerly infested bed, I have not gotten any new bites and all my old bites are almost fully healed. It's a $20 cheaper than getting a mattress encasement, and hundreds of dollars cheaper than getting a new bed and/or getting your entire room sprayed by an exterminator."
"Had two Times in the last year we had bed bug infestation about 8 months apart once the grandson brought them home after spending the night at a friends house.. Once I must have picked up somewhere? Followed the instructions for each product washed all blankets cloths drapes in the room in hot water took bed apart, turned off breaker switch took electric outlet and switch covers off sprayed everything including mattress and box springs heavy around baseboards. Vacumed all the open floors leaving it under bed and furniture then put the powder between mattress and box springs and left it."
"Neighbors keep asking me get these for them."
"My mother in law received a sofa given to her by a friend and since then bed bugs started to show up in her house."
"Hope it works!!!"
"“This has been a true helping hand in my war on bedbugs."
"It seems to be working well."
"After 5 bottles of this stuff, it finally got rid of everything."

"Packaged well but would have been great if it had a spray nozzle wth it. I have not seen a mouse since I bought this product."
"After cleaning up the source of this issue (all the food and trash), she applied the spray around the base boards of the house and garage."
"I do think there is some working deterrent in the spray however, that can reduce the mouse traffic in locations where this is sprayed. I wanted to see if this spray was doing it's job, so I surrounded two of my mice traps with the spray. After about 2 weeks the only mouse traps NOT hit have been the traps that are surrounded by spray."
"I bought this product because I suddenly have mice & do not want to kill them, just deter them."
"After using the spray around doorways and baseboards I never had another sighting."
"Doesn't smell or leave a stain."
"I was shocked at how small the bottle is given the high price."

"I've been buying these for years now and work well with the Flowtron mosquito zapper."
"I'm not sure these are worth it or not, though there does seem to be lots of mosquitos caught on the back of the sticky tape of these..."
"We had record-making snowfall and rain this year in my area, and consequently we have record numbers of mosquitoes--both inside and outside the house."
"Excellent price vs brand name."
"There are still mosquitoes biting, even though, the unit is placed about 20 feet from sitting area to draw the away, but the flying pests could come from any yard in the city."
"I can't really rate on how effective the product is."
"Using this during the day does nothing from what I can see. Using it at night, along with the zapper kills a lot of bugs, but more the light is attracting them I believe. But dont see it doing ANYTHING during the day at all."

"Bug a salt or slug a salt."
"So, we are currently in a Combat zone in the Middle East, with all kinds of modern weapons and high speed "tools of the trade", and yet, when this arrived I had my team members lining up to hunt down flys!!!!"
"Perfect for garbage pail cousins."
"I bought mine [version 1] in June of 2014, and it worked fine for a while, and broke shortly after my second salt filling. I've just taken it apart (as the 30 day warranty is over) and I've found that a plastic gear inside has broken, rendering the unit totally useless--see photos where I've circled the broken gears and the piece that fell off. There's a rattling noise when I shake the unit and I've found that's the little pieces of the gear. I urge you to be a careful buyer and read the reviews, especially the negative ones so you can see what you might expect."
"It kills flies dead (although if you're a poor shot it wounds them, causing them to feebly drag their half-dead carcasses around, and, depending upon the type of person you are, makes you feel bad for doing so). Eventually, no matter how bad you don't want it to happen, you will notice salt accumulating all over your window sills. After this churlish brute's inevitable demise, I kept the Bug-A-Salt for myself, and ordered another one for my Dad for Father's Day."
"My husband, neighbors, and myself. Have way too much fun with this gun."
"its low power enough that it will not hurt in a friendly fire incident (except please watch your eyes) adn will not leave a mess on your wall, but powerful enough that delicate wings and bug bodies are destroyed."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Purchased two of these after researching all kinds of mosquito control products and options. So my review is all about mosquito control - if that doesn't interest you, you may not find this information useful... First I'll include information about THIS product - skip to the end to read other options I considered and why this product was a winner. Take time to read the instructions - what I've found from all my research is that catching or killing mosquitoes has a fair number of subtle tricks - so don't just run a cord, plug this thing in, and expect magic. :). You'll need some way to hang this thing as it doesn't have any feet, the bait cup is on the bottom, and you'll just end up with a pile of bugs ruining your zapper if you don't hang it up lol! And on the topic of lures,baits, and attractants - all names for the same things - this unit comes with one small octenol lure - I think just a 400mg time release one. Depending on where you live, you might need other baits if you are after mosquitoes specifically like I am. For all types of mosquitoes, you need THREE key lure ingredients: Octenol attracts the classic mosquitoes - ones that are active in the morning right at dawn and evening right at dusk. Depending on your location, species of mosquitoes, and other factors, you will need to adjust your baits. I put the octenol lure in place, rigged a hanging option by screwing a small piece of wood into a tree, and hung the unit about 2-3 feet above the ground - about where your legs would be exposed wearing shorts LOL!! I can't say longer term how well this unit will reduce the population of mosquitoes or even if it will be enough to be able to go outside and not get bitten. But it DOES kill mosquitoes in the Houston area and hopefully with additional attractants it will get those aggressive and horrible Tiger. My next project - once I hang these up, get the additional baits, and see how those perform, is to consider adding CO2 to the mix. Carbon dioxide is probably THE BEST mosquito bait - which is why you see all those propane traps that make CO2 and heat by burning propane. Put the end of the tube inside my bug zapper so the mosquitoes are drawn into the killing grid - DONE. But by adding baits and other attractants, you can scale it up to suit your needs and still spend WAY less money than the fancier products with fans and nets and propane tanks. I was reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars on one of the mosquito-specific trap-style products like the Mosquito Magnet for a few reasons: 1) The huge number of reviews about the unit breaking down (strike 1), the huge number of reviews indicating service was difficult (strike 2), and the huge cost of repair sometimes costing a fair percentage of the original purchase price (strike 3). Yes, there are two small nooks at the base of the bulbs designed for this purpose, but there's no reason to think the trap wouldn't work well if you added some alternate bait types and just stuck, lashed, or otherwise affixed them using your own creativity. Most of the trap-style units are not designed to work if you get creative with the bait placement - they require it to be in a very specific place to lure the mosquitoes into the vacuum suction area. And then you had to pump the oil into the fogging chamber with a squeeze trigger - on problem is that the rate at which you pump must be precise - otherwise the fog is too "wet" or "dry" per the instructions, I found my unit constantly sending out not only fog but also little droplets of oil out the tip. The fog is supposed to make a quart of oil last for weeks or months even, but unless you product fog and ONLY fog, the product is consumed MUCH faster. I found it took 15 minutes or so to lug the unit out, plug it in, let it warm up, fog the yard, and then you MUST let it cool down for 10 minutes or so before you can store it. These products have their place, but not for keeping your home and your castle free of pests... And beyond purchased products - there are any number of DIY mosquito control methods - from 2 liter bottle with yeast in them to box fans with netting."
"I live next to a swamp so needless to say I have no hope of winning the war on mosquitoes but this combined with my bat houses sure takes a dent out of the population."
"This spring we placed a propane powered mosquito vac in our yard, and had to clean it every day, because the basket will fill to the point where it would loose suction and stop sucking mosquitoes. So we placed this Flowtron (1/2 acre) bug zapper unit within 5 feet of the propane powered vac in hopes that it would take some of the load off of the mosquito vac. I would have been happy if the bug zapper got even half as many mosquitoes as the mosquito vac, but that was not the case! What we found was that this zapper kills at least 1000 times more mosquitoes than the propane unit!! There were maybe a few dozen bugs that weren't mosquitoes, all the rest were mosquitoes. I wouldn't expect this type of performance with just the stand alone bug zapper, I think it is due to the combination of the propane mosquito vac luring them in, that that's right beside the bug zapper. We've decided to order another Flowtron, the larger 1 and 1/2 acre unit as well to hopefully better handle the mosquito load. I'm not sure if the color is wrong to attract bugs, but it actually seemed to repel them away from the mosquito vac!"
"My Flowtron arrived with but 2 screws around the top - where are supposed to be 4 screws.One of the 2 screws was useless, as it had broken off the large piece of the the top."
"I know we'll never eliminate the mosquito issues, but this does a great job of knocking down the population and allow is to enjoy our porch again."
