BASF Fendona CS Controlled Release Insecticide, Fast-Acting Concentrate for Ants, Carpenter Bees, Spiders, Ticks & More, 16 oz - Broad Range of Insect Control

This is a great DIY treatment for 'fall invaders'. In particular, I use it to control Japanese Lady-Beetles. For those who don't know, these are distinct from normal 'lady bugs'. They are an invasive species, and can be a nuisance in the autumn. After the first night where temps dip to or below freezing, they begin a swarming behavior that has them seek out elevated, sun-warmed surfaces. Once there, they look for crevices where they can over-winter. If you have a tall, south facing house, those crevices are around your eaves and windows. Then, every warm day after that, you have lady beetles creeping indoors. In our case, we had to have vacuumed up thousands during our first winter and spring in our current house. Literally, dozens at a time, every warm day through the winter and spring. Recommended by a pest control expert, using a (heavy duty, to reach high places) garden sprayer with Fendona CS--closely following manufacturers instructions--to apply it to the eaves and around windows in the late fall (just before that first frosty night) works very well. The only downside is spots and such on windows. That drives my wife nuts, but we both agree it's a small price to pay for keeping the lady beetles out. After applying it, I find those thousands of invading lady beetles dead on the driveway and around the house, rather than inside it later on. Very few make it inside anymore. The only caveat is that this is a very potent pesticide. Use it sparingly and in compliance with the manufacturers directions. It's important to do everything you can to avoid impacting pollinators and other beneficial insects.

Very good insecticide, I used for around the house and flowerbeds and haven’t seen any live bugs in weeks.

It kills the bugs and keeps the scorpions away from the house. Excellent product that shipping.

Works great spray knocks ants down, and sets up barrier that when they walk thru knocks them down

We treat our yard from mosquitos otherwise we would be picked up and carried away. This spray allows me to spend time in my backyard all summer. One treatment lasts about 30 days.

Works dies the job

I recently tried this insecticide with high hopes, but I was left utterly disappointed. The product promised to effectively eliminate spiders, ants, and other pests within a specified timeframe, but it failed miserably. I sprayed both inside my home and outside in the garage, following all the instructions carefully. However, just 10 days later, I was shocked to see spiders and ants crawling everywhere including inside my house! It felt like I hadn’t even used the product at all. To make matters worse, the consistency of the spray was quite gunky. Despite shaking the can continuously for more than 5 minutes, the liquid remained stuck to the container walls, making it difficult to apply. It honestly felt like I was using an expired product. Not only did it not work as advertised, but the consistency of the spray was also quite gunky, making the application difficult and messy. I expected a clean solution to my pest problem, but instead, I got a product that left me frustrated and still dealing with an insect invasion. Overall, I cannot recommend this insecticide. If you’re looking for something that actually delivers on its promises, look elsewhere. Save your money and avoid this ineffective solution!

Bought this after finding a scorpion hiding in my bath tub drain while I was soaping up. One sting and many curse words later I got online and ordered this. This stuff if practically death in a bottle. This is a similar product to demon except it's in a microencapsulated liquid form so it lasts longer and stands up to the elements better (think microscopic Advil liquid gels) I sprayed my whole house down and haven't seen a single living bug since.
