EcoSMART Ant & Roach Killer 14 oz. Aerosol (2 PACK) Review

I had no problem at all with the way it smelled...it smells like cinnamon, so that is way better than being clouded out with the normal chemical sprays. Our house must be on top of one of the major ant hills inthe world as we have a horrible time with ants, especially in the kitchen, and we don't want to use pesticides in there, so I found a can of this and what a saving grace it was. I highly recommend it!

I bought this product to battle aphids on my house plant. It sounds really great in description, but unfortunately my aphids couldn't care less for it. I think they actually enjoyed it :) So I had to go back to the real pesticides.

Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade 5 Lb Review

I used DE in my home becuase of bedbugs. It has been about a month and i havent seen one since. I reccommend food grade DE as a safer non-toxic pesticide. In the home, left undisturbed it should work for months, I have never used this outside.
I reccommend buying a specific pump to be used with DE and also a face mask for application.
If you have bedbugs, first get treated by a professional and then use DE as a preventative. Ask how to apply for maximum effectiveness (yes this works if done correctly). Also visit bedbug websites to learn more.

Safe for people & pets. You can even eat it or mix it in pet or livestock food to kill internal parasites. It's a top safe flea powder too... oderless. Sprinkle it in your garden, basement, under the sofa cushions, under the carpet, mattress & the bugs are gone safely. Still works if it gets wet.

Concern Diatomaceous Earth Crawling Insect Killer Review

Living in Northern Illinois we have problems with lots of insects during the summer months, (specifically ants and earwigs). My husband and I do not have children or pets and together we keep a very clean house. When I first started noticing ants, earwigs, spiders, etc, I tried products from local hardware and home improvement stores and noticed minimal results. Then I went to a costly, professional pest control service and noticed slightly better results, however I still had bugs in my house on a regular basis. I decided to research other pest control methods and stumbled across diatomaceous earth and how it controls pests organically. I read about the positive results people had experienced using it for pest control and how the bugs can't develop a resistance to it. My understanding about the way it works is when the bug gets the powder on itself, the powder actually scrapes the bugs and they end up dying from dehydration. (Similar to a human walking through glass.) (I know it's kind of gross...) Anyway, I decided to give it a try and am very happy that I did. Practically overnight my husband and I stopped seeing earwigs and other bugs in the house. We were simply amazed with the quick results and, since this is organic, we were very happy that we were no longer being exposed to chemicals. I have a few potted plants outside and was so frustrated that they were dying despite regular watering, sunlight and use of a top-grade fertilizer. One night I noticed an earwig crawling around the rim of the pot and wondered if they were the cause for my plants doing so poorly. I decided to put some diatomaceous earth around the top of the pots, (in the dirt), as well as the base of the pots and could not believe how quickly they all perked up. I have to say that these plants have tripled in size since the addition of the diatomaceous earth. I have never had blooming plants look as terrific as these do.
The only drawback to this product is that it must be reapplied after being rained on, but it's a small price to pay to have a bug-free home and beautiful plants. A co-worker of mine kept complaining about ants in her house, (she has kids and pets), and said she's done everything she can think of, (bleaching, chemicals, extra cleaning, covering pet food, etc), but still had ants. I told her about the diatomaceous earth, how it's organic and how I was impressed with the results. She purchased this same product, (Concern diatomaceous earth), and could not believe how quickly it stopped the ants from coming into her house. She has not seen even one ant in her house since a day or so after she put the diatomaceous earth around the perimiter of her house. I would highly, highly recommend this product to anyone who has problems with bugs in their home, in their potted plants or garden.

Orange Guard 103 Water Based Indoor/Outdoor Home Pest Control - 32 oz Spray Review

If you are chemically sensitive, have pets or children, it's likely you have problems with typical ant/bug killers, even "odorless" ones that claim they're safe once they're dry.
Orange Guard has been my staple indoor pesticide for at least six years. I've tried other "natural" orange pesticides, notably one by Ortho available in stores like Lowes. Instant headache. My sinuses picked up the trace of petroliate so minor it's not even listed. (I inquired -- the nose knew.)
Orange Guard has nothing but orange. My cats can blithely walk through the spray and while felines aren't citrus fans, they can proceed to lick themselves silly and nothing bad is going to happen.
Natural products do not have the staying power of serious chemical pesticides and you can't expect them to. During the current heatwave, a morning invasion of ants through kitchen plumbing crevices is normal. I've been comparing Orange Guard with another natural insecticide (pyrethrins) via Safer Tomato & Vegetable pesticide. Pyrethrins is also considered safe for use around food and animals. The odor is minor, inoffensive, and causes no twitching of the sinuses. However, the spray will keep ants out only an hour or two when their invasion is of Normandy-proportions. Orange Guard holds up 6-12 hours. In normal usage -- when ants aren't as desperate -- it lasts several days and that's usually long enough for them to look for more friendly places to live.
If you like citrus, the fragrance is wonderful, pure and fresh. Leftovers (year-old Orange Guard) should be used outdoors because the smell strengthens and becomes somewhat obnoxious -- just like aging oranges. But you can avoid that by using it as an air freshner or wiping your wood furniture with it. The slight amount of orange oil will make your wood happy.
12/7/08 -- While Orange Guard is unavailable on Amazon right now, it's easy to find. A number of hardware store chains carry it. Google will help.
8/2009: [...] is listing many outlets now. Ace Hardware and OSH and Whole Foods are among them.
Also, someone asked about cockroaches. I don't know about Orange Guard, but a safe and excellent little known remedy is "roach chalk." I think -- not positive -- it's made of boric acid. You simply draw lines around areas to protect. It's available in Chinese markets. Hmmm. I wonder if Amazon has it. . .
Aug 2009: Update on Chinese roach chalk - it's illegal due to impurities in the imported variety. You know, like lead. But you can find safe brands on line and in larger home stores.

I use this regularly to line my home in the summertime and it works great. I used to get my home sprayed by professionals until i got tired of paying for it and ended up trying this.. you see a bunch of dead bugs just like you do when the pros come. Every so often i also have ant issues outside (they have never come in) and i would spray the crap out of them with this and then my home of course..then i would also place those bait traps by where they were coming from and they all die! Great stuff.
