Wondercide All Natural Indoor Pest Control Home and Patio Spray 32 oz Lemongrass

I recently moved into an older home surrounded by nature, with a lot of crevices for critters to enter, and the basement in particular had LOTS of uninvited guests. Everything from the standard basement-dwelling cave crickets that appear to be on growth hormone, to spiders (my NEMESIS), to these mutant beetle roach looking hybrids that look like they were manufactured in Satan’s workshop to form an army, I even found a centipede?! To put it lightly, I am absolutely not fond of bugs, I scream like I’m trying out for the lead role in a low budget slasher film, I cry, I threaten arson, and I find the nearest adult who is adultier than me to squash and dispose of the offending bug. I searched high and low for a solution that would kill the small demons, prevent future attacks from Satan’s soldiers, and also not poison my kids in the process. I purchased this a few weeks ago and it has been a LIFESAVER. It really does work, it smells really nice (I got lemongrass, I’m going to try a different scent when this bottle runs out), and I can spray it without worrying about myself or my kids inhaling dangerous fumes. I sprayed the perimeter of the entire basement, and then areas where I tended to see the most bugs. It has definitely reduced the amount of bugs, and the scent lasts a while so I don’t reapply until it has completely worn off. I also use it to kill them on the spot when I see one. Because it’s an essential oil based spray it doesn’t work “immediately” like a Raid type spray would - it takes a minute or two to basically suffocate the bug, you have to coat it and then watch them squirm. Sometimes they will be sprayed in one spot and continue to crawl away as they slowly suffer, so they end up dying in a different spot. I’ve yet to have one sprayed that didn’t die. Same goes for flying insects - as long as I hit them with the spray they’re goners, but they may continue to fly for a minute or two before they eventually drop to their doom. Keep in mind this is an oil based spray, so it’s a little thicker of a liquid - it still sprays like a mist would, but when that mist settles it’s much more “wet” than standard bug poison sprays. I just wipe away any residual overspray. Always spot test, I sprayed near painted walls and you can still see the drips where the product ran down, but I’m okay with that as a trade off for a mostly bug free home. Overall I highly recommend, especially if you’re a huge oversized child who’s scared of something microscopic like I am. I will definitely continue to buy! PS: although this is labeled for indoor use I did use this outside out of desperation one night, after my toddler got 30+ mosquito bites the previous night. I sprayed the surfaces of the porch furniture, the ground of the porch, and a small perimeter. It got the job done and definitely reduced the amount of bites we got. BUT I did use up way more spray that way so I probably wouldn’t do it regularly, I need to conserve the bottle. I wish this came in a spray for human bodies.

I used this for sugar ants and it WORKS!!! I can't say for other kinds of bugs, but I had been battling these sugar ants with vinegar and baking soda for days, wasting almost my whole day cleaning and respraying and finding all their holes. I sprayed this on their holes and they were gone *immediately*. They did not return for over a week, but did come back through a different hole. I sprayed that one - just a light spritz over the area - and they're totally gone again, even next day. As a bonus, the whole room smells like I have a diffuser on. I appreciate that I don't need to be worried about my toddlers being around this stuff.

This is the only thing that works on sugar ants in my kitchen! Spray in the cracks of where the ants are coming in. I havent had an ant in my kitchen in over a year by spraying once!

Wondercide has a great line of pest control products that absolutely "can't be beat" in terms of safety and effectiveness!! Two key features that mean the most!! Safe around children, and most pets(high ⚠️ caution around birds, due to their sensitive respiratory; product has strong scents. Asthma among humans "could" also be triggered, but doubtful, as I and my sons have a history of asthma and I use this product regularly). This natural, plant oil based pest killer also repels pests from returning. Must periodically repeat application as oils eventually dissipate. Affordable as it is effective; have successfully relied on this product for years! Highly recommend!!

Just started using this and will update my review after a few weeks to see how it performs. Regarding the smell, it has a moderately strong smell but not an offensive smell. It smells very similar to Pledge furniture polish, except Pledge smells like lemons and this stuff smells like oranges. It's not nauseating, won't give you a headache, and the smell fades after a couple hours.
