Safer Ant & Roach Killer

WORKS!! While you have to put it in EVERY nook and cranny; it does work! We saw significant amount of bugs down within 2 days. We live on a creek, so bugs are always a problem. This helped out quite a bit. And no problem for our dogs!!

I found a few ant mounds in the yard and around some trees and shrubs, i gave this product a try and it works great. ( Not a big fan of pesticides ) If you apply it over the mounds work it into the dirt a little bit, the ants will come out fast! Some will come out a bit slower, however they do come out! After applying you will see some curl up and shake but they do not die quickly. Although the ones in direct contact with a sufficient amount of the product are killed quickly.The next day I went outside and they were killed off from what I could see and I am sure I will not be seeing them anymore! Excellent to use on ant mounds, around the outside foundation of the house, basements, doors, anywhere really. Honestly I cannot give you an idea about roaches as I do not have that issue. It will kill house spiders, and silverfish though. Please note use a dust mask if it is windy outside so you do not breathe in product. I also wore gloves as an additional precaution. ( as it is in powder form )

I like this product so far. Using it outside and in some edges inside my home. Glad to be keeping bugs and little pests away. I like the pointy applicator tip, makes sure that the product isn't messy or spreads everywhere. Seems to be keeping ants away mostly, that is what we usually have problems with.

I have a 4 pound dog so I try to use safe insect repellent. The “safer brand insect killer is in a powdered form, it looks like boric acid. The full bottle came half full. The container has a lift open Cap on it, it is super easy to use and your hands don't touch anything. I tried it outside on ant mounds. I just shook the bottle to mix popped the cap and gently squeezed. I did not expect fast results but I checked 8 hours later and even dug into the mound and all the ants were dead or they moved out. The container says to dust the powder on surfaces. I'm not sure of that so I'll probably dust it into cracks and corners where my pet doesn't walk.

This is the recommended product for getting rid of crawling bugs. Our crawlers are ants and we are pleased with this product. The only caution I would give is to store it away from food products and in a bag so the powder from the product that was on the outside of the container doesn't get on other things with the potential of getting in mouths of children or household pets.

We got the Safer Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer to try out on some ants we have had in our bathroom downstairs. The Safer Brand Ant and Crawling Insect Killer claims that it effectively eliminates a wide variety of crawling insects, including ants, cockroaches, fleas, and bed bugs within 48 hours. The label says the powder feels harmless to humans, but that it is razor sharp to insects. Formulated with diatomaceous earth, this insect killer is OMRI listed, ensuring it is safe for use in organic gardening when used as directed which I am planning to use but have not planted the garden yet it's been too chilly at night still. We have three kids and a dog so I wanted to get something effective that won't harm anyone in our family. There is a spot outside in the driveway that every year they come out I went and put it down this morning but it rained so I will reapply tomorrow. When I put it on one an ant downstairs in the bathroom it stopped for a minute but the crawled off so added some more and then it started to have to fight it's way out so fingers crossed it will do its job I haven't seen any more ants in the bathroom when I checked so that seems like a good sign to me. It is easy to use just pull open and shake the desired amount of the powder where you need it to go and close the lid back up.

Great effective product to use. I would recommend this product. Can use it safely around people and pets. I like the fact that it actually works at killing ants and other insects. I tried it out on several ant nests in my yard and went back the next day and the ants were gone. I will continue to use this product in the future. I don't have to worry about harmful chemicals that affect the environment.

It came in very quickly and we re vacuumed for the pesky ants and sprinkled down the earth. it seems to have had an effect on the downstairs. Our shared yards are just layered with different ants so keeping them out of the house is going to be tricky.

This product deterred some of the seasonal ants I was having a problem with however, because it was a powder it was quite messy. I have seasonal tiny ants that come in through the kitchen window and cabinets. When I applied this product per instructions, in an empty cabinet, I still found powder on my pores and pans. I was hoping by letting it settle overnight before I put my pots and pans away it wouldn't contaminate them but the dust just kicks up. I definitely didn't feel this was safe, especially with all my children and constant cooking. I ended up just vacuuming it all up. It deterred some ants but not all. Maybe other products by this brand are good but I wasn't impressed.

The crawling insect killer did not work for us. We have large ant beds in our yard. We sprinkled the powder on top and it didn't work. We then put a hole in the ant bed and put powder on it again and it still didn't work. We checked two days later and it was still full of ants.
