Questions & Answers

Centipedes can be cured with this treatment? Having just moved into my new apartment, they are all over the place. When I moved in, I sprayed home defense, but they still show up. ?

I totally agree! There were scorpions and centipedes in my house, and it killed them both for six For the sake of being sure, I reapplied. The exterior of the house is covered in three feet of snow on both the inside and outside. All of the eaves follow.

What is the experience of people who have used this in backyards with kids and dogs? Regardless of how much they receive, I want to make sure it's OK if they get some after it sets. What's it like to walk on ?

This is a great product, however I'm not sure it's intended to be used in those areas. The product is supposed to be safe after drying, but I wouldn't want kids touching rocks and putting their fingers in their mouths, or putting rocks directly in their mouths. There is also a product from LG Lifesciences that could be better suited to the application as well.

Can you tell me if this product has helped with box elder bugs? They are crawling all over the outside of our house and worse than that, they are in the house as well! ?

I am thrilled with the Box Elders results! The word I used was The weight of this product is 8 ounces. It should be instead. It is either two It weighs 4 ounces. Spray in my sprayer at a dilution of 1 gallon, no adverse effects in my experience. You use your personal dilution choices at your own The Box Elders that I encountered died instantly if the solution got on them, but they would normally die within a few hours if they merely landed on or walked over Following those days, I discovered my porch was piled high with dead Box Elder leaves that I had to blow away with a leaf blower for several mornings. In the spring, I plan to repaint or respray areas where they gathered last year in hopes that they will be subdued or even deterred from coming back. LambdaStar UltraCap 9 was not necessary for my situation. Although it would probably work the same as it currently does, it could also be done inside. If you are applying it to the interior, be sure to read the instructions.

When used on stink bugs, how does it work?

I have not encountered an exception to its use. It works on practically all bugs. It's been good to me for more than a decade.

The best of the best
5/5

We have a lot of nasty animals here like Democrats, IRS agents, and furniture salesmen in the desert. There is little benefit for them in this. While it doesn't kill spiders (ok, they're technically arachnids), it does kill many bugs, including scorpions.

Scorpions are dead when this is applied! Our scorpion problem is getting out of hand
5/5

Since moving into the house, we've lived there for one year. I have been trapping scorpions for about 5 years now and have captured about 75 scorpions during that time. Paper sticky traps are stationed around the house just out of reach of the furry friends, just like we do with the sticky traps we used as a child. It wouldn't be possible to kill them without killing them crawling on the ground, walls or ceiling. don't want to be the one who gets stung! The time will come when everybody gets stung. If it were me, I would be devastated! When I did some research, I discovered this stuff was mentioned in the context of First of all, I wanted it to be safe for our dogs, and second, I wanted it not to smell. LambdaStar UltraCap 9 has been ordered. My rate was 7%, and I first mixed it at 24ml per gallon in my garden sprayer and sprayed all around the perimeter of the house, including the dog's door, front porch, and then One scorpion lay on the front porch and one inside the doggie door frame. I found both scorpions dead the next morning. There were two more dead squirrels in the driveway of the garage when I woke up this morning. Since I sprayed yesterday, today is the second day. In the end, I hope to keep them out of the house and garage by spraying the perimeter. In addition to sprinkling the outside of the house two days ago, my wife sprayed the inside of the house, as well. While it will take time to determine how effective it will be to get rid of scorpions forever, I am amazed at the number of scorpions I've found already dead. Success to me means meeting those goals.

Is exactly what I expected it to be
5/5

Worked like a charm! My family and I love this product. We live in central Pennsylvania, where house centipedes are common, especially in the garage and basement. I am terrified of house centipedes, even though they are good for the environment and only eat other pests. The hawks arrive in the spring and hang out in the garage during the day and then leave to hunt at night. My heart would just about stop if I came down to the garage in the morning. During the winter months, they hibernate and I forget all Eventually, spring arrives again and the cycle continues. I will probably get to the point now. It works great for the inside of the garage and for the outside of the house. I bought this LambaStar UltraCap product for the garage. My garden pump sprayer held 1 gallon and I followed the instructions. The scent was nonexistent and the mark was not left behind. You can imagine it as water spraying. It's water that will kill you. A few days later, I saw a couple of dead centipedes, but I never saw another. My normal way of spotting and killing them by now would have been around 20 by now, but I have never seen any during the past two months. In addition, there were ants gathering around the patio trying to get inside. All it took was one spray to get rid of them. Since I did not spray in there (critters enter through the garage), I haven't seen a single spider or any other bug in the basement. I am very impressed with this stuff.

This is a brilliant product
5/5

Thanks to this product, I am able to do everything I need! A couple of days ago, we were moving into a duplex and the tenants left. Upon moving out, we discovered there were roaches everywhere. There are roaches all over! Each kitchen cabinet hinge was spotted with a tiny roach. I literally found them in every corner of the house. The location in Florida meant that we weren't limited to just one kind of roach it appeared to be a variety. Although the tenants had tried a few shops, it was clear that they hadn't found one they liked Despite buying bombs and roach baits, I couldn't get rid of them. Then I used borax powder and roach bait gel to cover the area. However, the pests continued to thrive unabated, and I could see them every time I turned around. I bought this product after being recommended it by a friend who owns a few rental properties and sprayed it over I was surprised to see roaches turning up dead in great numbers after the first spray! In addition to the first spray, I noticed a few more. In the last two weeks, I have not seen one roach. It deters them from even attempting to enter if you spray the perimeter of the house with toxic chemicals. I would definitely recommend it.

Earwigs have no place in our home! Using this method was the best solution for earwigs
5/5

We were constantly plagued by earwigs in our basement. We have not had a problem in our window wells or windows since I treated them.

The level seems similar to the maximum level for home defense
4/5

This product was purchased based on reviews suggesting it would keep bugs at bay. In the back yard we have a lot of trees, so in the sunroom we tend to have a lot of bugs, like stink bugs, spiders, flies, and the like. I have tried both home defense max and this stuff and they both appear to be similar. Dead bugs have been found in our house, but I seem to have to spray once a month in order for them to stay There is nothing special about how we spread it, we use a pump spray. Spritz it a few times between pumps and shake it again afterward after shaking it.

It's good to see Boxelders gone at last! Our "wonderful" experience regarding a box elder bug infestation was made evident shortly after we moved into our new (old) home
5/5

We are accustomed to seeing a steady barrage of box elders from September through May, which, despite repeated vacuuming sessions, continued to thrive to the point where they were found in our drinks, light bulbs, and children's The ants even ruined my curtains as they leave little brownish droppings on them, which do not stain, but look gross nonetheless. This is what we're going to do. The reason I never thought of this before is beyond me! We have dealt with pest problems three winters in a row and for the first time, it's cold at night, and I no longer see a single pest inside our The mixed stuff was used by my husband on the front of my house to cover the whole thing. I think it's awesome! My guests will not need to be told that these are not roaches, and they do no harm this year for I need not explain what they are to them. Now you don't have to worry about embarrassment! I'm in awe! The exterminator does not have to be called. That was such a good investment!.

This product also works well on Rolly Pollies
5/5

A pill bug infestation had affected the unfinished basement of our house, as well as our home's foundation. Such an event has never occurred to me before. Among the patients I have seen after just one treatment, only three have survived. If you are dealing with these pests, I would highly recommend this product. In addition to not seeing any spiders alive since the treatment, I haven't seen any dead ones This is a great value!.
