EcoSmart Flying Insect Killer 14 ounce. Aerosol (2 Pack)

This is, at least, the third re-order of this product over a few years. The spray works and is not toxic to humans, pets or other animals. It has a nice odor, not like some other sprays. The two pack will last a while, of course depending on how much you use it.

We had an influx of carpet beetles. They’re like little lady bugs except brown and/or black. They love to eat paper like paper towels and especially natural fibers like cotton. Their larvae it it while the adults nest in pillow too mattresses and dark places. This is the only product that we use as at the beginning we had 4 cats and I had 2 younger children. The smell can be overwhelming if not monitored by an adult. Just peppermint. No harmful chemical pesticides. I use the clove scented one for outdoor use to deter ants from climbing the shepherds hook with our hummingbird feeder.

Very STRONG scent that carries well enough to deter flies and other insects for hours when sprayed around the door. Lasts for a bit longer than we humans can smell it. Contains oils so check the surface where you spray for staining possibilities. I would not use it around anyone having respiratory issues/sensitivities. I usually spray once or twice a day during "fly" season.

Bit expensive and a bit intense peppermint smell (hence -1 star), but not having to worry about toxic sprays is great! I have tested this product on fruit flies, large black flies, and even a yellow jacket wasp. With one spray, it is usually enough to make them stumble or fly erratically. With two sprays the big ones stop flying and start crawling around. With three sprays they don't move much. I recommend two sprays for the big flies, because it takes too long for them to stop flying around, but one is enough if you wait long enough. How fast did this work? Well with one spray it takes several minutes for the flies to die or stop moving. If it is a small fly (say fruit fly), they'll be down pretty quick in less than a min. With a wasp or large fly, if you can directly spray them at-least two times, they'll stop flying much. With three direct sprays, they're dead in the next 20 seconds. Keep in mind, air circulation is recommended. It doesn't smell bad, but it's a strong smell. Make sure you ventilate the area after fly hunting. I've breathed the fumes of this stuff with no ill effects, it's probably just coating the insects with oils making it difficult for them to breath through their small membranes, but I don't know why it kills them.

Smell is slightly overwhelming, very sweet smell

I have a major bee problem by my pool. I'm an organic person by nature, so I tried this. We spray an entire can on the bougainvillea and it seems the bees commit suicide in the pool afterward. We are looking to repelling ter, and it seems to be working. We also have a fantastic electric zapper we use when the bees are "off" after the spray. It doesn't affect the kids or dogs, and I don't mind if it gets on the citrus trees. I'm buying my 4th pack of the summer.

Does not work. I bought this for gnats flying around. After spraying them directly, they fall to the table or surface. After 30-45 seconds, they walk away from where they landed and fly away. It seems to just stun them temporarily. Last night, I sprayed a regular housefly and hit it in mid air. It fell to the floor where I sprayed it again. It was walking around in the wet spray area. After a couple of minutes I looked for it and could not find the body, then saw it flying around again. It says on the can "Safe around Children and Pets, Non Toxic" Apparently it means non toxic for the flies too!

Not a bad product, as I use it in my horse stalls to keep the flies down in the Summer. Even when stalls are cleaned out, flies like to congregate..this product works well. I still let the barn airout before putting the horses in the stalls. Otherwise seems to be a great product to use around our animals. Thanks!
