I had no idea my garden was full of grub until I used this. I initially used it for the ants. I’m not sure it worked on the ants though. My backyard is basically an ant hill. But the amount of grub that came to the surface for weeks was appalling. I had no idea I had such an infestation in my garden. It definitely works for grub! lol

Good value for the money. You can use it on lawns or your vegetable garden. I use it personally on my vegetable garden to repeal bugs. This stuff works well I haven't had any problem with saw bugs and or beetle larvae since she using it. One application lasts the whole season.

As a former Pest Control Professional, Bifenthrin (the active ingredient in this product) is a long established and highly effective insecticide. You won't find a pest control company that doesn't use Bifenthrin as part of their PC program. It is used indoors (as a liquid spray), outdoors as "border control", and in turf grass (granular or liquid) to control dozens of insects. In the south, Chinch Bugs are perhaps our biggest turf grass enemy- particularly in St Augustine grass, and Bifenthrin is highly effective (especially as part of a 1-2 punch described in more detail below)Ortho BugClear is one of the best values for Bifen (for short) even compared to their own competing product "Lawn Insect Killer". BugClear has nearly DOUBLE the Bifen, and is labeled to cover 1.5"+ times the square feet of turf, yet is priced comparably. In other words, if you choose the "Lawn Insect Killer" from Ortho, you are spending nearly twice as much!Now, the 1-2 punch for Chinch bugs. Cyhalothrin in combination with Bifen. Cyhalothrin comes in various formulations (Gamma, Lambda), but I am too far removed from my PC days to even know the differences, but don't get hung up on that. It is classified as a micro-encapsulated insecticide and is also very effective indoors and out for control of a multitude of insects. It is available in many OTC products including Spectracide Triazicide (the best value I have found OTC) in both liquid and granular. For Chinch bugs, I alternate between the granular and liquid versions of Cyhalothrin and Bifen four times a year. Chinch bugs are a summer problem, but this punch is highly effective against fire ants, Mole Crickets, somewhat for grubs, and other fall/winter pests. (white grubs are a whole other issue and you want a product with an active ingredient like Imidacloprid (a synthesized nicotine product) to catch them in the spring while the June Beetles are laying their eggs in your yard).Alternate the 1-2 granular/liquid approach 3-4 times a year in your lawn, and 90% or more of the pests you fight won't have a chance, and you can control them with these OTC products for an entire year for less than a month or two of a lawn professional (who will likely be using the same active ingredient products). If you have a large yard, explore some of the retailers that offer "pro grade" products with the same active insecticides for bulk sale to anyone in most states. But for most, this insect control program will do the job for a relatively low cost with products available on Amazon, or your local home improvement store.

The effectiveness was decent but not outstanding. I noticed a reduction in ants and spiders within a few days, which was a relief. However, the impact on fleas and ticks was less noticeable. It didn’t seem to fully eliminate these pests, and I still found a few armyworms in the garden a week after application. There was a mild chemical odor after application, but it wasn’t too strong or lingering. I appreciated that it didn’t leave any noticeable residue on the grass, making it safe for pets and kids to play after the recommended waiting period.

I use this product all the time but recently my house has been inundated with ants little tiny ants everywhere bathroom kitchen you name it. I’m a very clean person. Never have food out or anything and they just keep coming. I don’t like to use pesticides that often but I applied this to my whole backyard and my front yard within three days. I have never seen an ant again in my house. They really were becoming a past in all living spaces. Thanks for this product. Problem solved.

After putting it out dead bugs started showing up but ultimately I had to call the pros to spray the commercial grade stuff to kill the grubs taking over my lawn
