Spectracide Bug Stop Review - Does Spectracide Bug Stop Home Barrier Work?

[@turkey2003]

Used it for a flea infestation in my house I had been using natural powders and sprays to control but failed. This stuff got rid of them. Sprayed my whole carpet with it and floorboards. Open up the windows and wear a face mask. One thing is my dogs started vomiting after I did one room and they were not in the room I was spraying. I sent them and the wife on a 3 hour drive and they were fine when they came back.

[@0190566]

Did you vacuum or clean/ mopped before your dog came back? I’m asking to know what I should do if I spray the carpets ..

[@turkey2003]

@@0190566 i vacuumed after it dried out

[@GloriaW888]

I would spray around the outside of the house and door frames and see if that works instead of spraying the inside of the house. Most are coming from the outside anyways. Just seems safer for your family, pets and yourself.

[@johnellenburg2297]

I spray around inside and outside doors every few nights b4 bed

[@painexotic3757]

I spray indoors around windows and walls. Never had any issues.

[@KENNETHUDUT]

Your review was perfect. I just got it in today : stank to high heaven from Amazon and I thought I made a big mistake. I have been using the ortho for years and it doesn't smell but this made me choke and I thought "oh no this is wrong". But you have the same coughing choking issues I did and so and seeing it works for you gives me hope that it will work for me.

[@consumerdebtchitchat]

After a heavy Florida rain, when the ground dies, I spray this around my ENTIRE door. Haven't had a roach inside since.

[@tonycordero955]

I just finish spraying it out side and had a sneeze attack when the wind picked up....ell like viniger.....using a mask moving forward

[@markoldendorf5393]

before using it, i found the stink bugs every where. A day later, they are just dead on the floor.

[@howellaboutno9500]

People! It only works when it’s dry! It’s not going to kill bugs when you spray them with it! That’s why it says BARRIER

[@_emach3806]

It also says kills on contact lol

[@howellaboutno9500]

_Emach It means it kills on contact when it’s dry. You have to follow the directions. Spraying a bug is not following the directions and therefore won’t work. It’s supposed to be a safe barrier which is why it won’t kill bugs when you spray them. If it DID kill bugs instantly when you spray them, what do you think it would do to pets? Kids? Would you really want that stuff all over your house? Most barriers like this mess with the bugs nervous system which can take a little while to work. It’s not meant to sprayed directly on bugs.

[@justinmixson1344]

My buddy is the pesticide godfather and he says if it kills ants quickly, they die before they feed it and kill the queen. I only have an ant problem (and bad) so I’m about to find out.

[@howellaboutno9500]

Shawn Hammac Give us an update then :D

[@justinmixson1344]

Howell About No Stepped on the front porch this evening in flip flops and got bitten twice by fire ants lol. I soaked that entire area so I can tell you one thing... it does nothing after 12 hours lol

[@LadyYella]

I used this for my room before I first moved in I was getting bitten up every night by something not anymore this stuff really do work

[@MrBigspendn]

I would make sure my dogs are nowhere even close when I spray. They are everything to me.

[@carryjeffrey563]

We have used Ortho Home Defense faithfully, year after year. This time around, it was entirely ineffective and the Ortho rep who responds to negative comments on the Home Depot site, says nothing about the fact that their product is advertised as a barrier to keep bugs away. I think we will be switching to Spectracide Bug Stop.

[@Chimonya]

These things are very similar. They all work but only for about 30-90 days. Ignore the 12 month BS on the labels. They don't work that long. Also try to find out where your bugs come in and seal those areas.

[@carryjeffrey563]

@@Chimonya Behind/under kitchen cabinets. As a renter, there's nothing we can do to get Management to seal anything. That's too much work for them and above their pay grade. German cockroaches are formidable. I see one every few weeks and kill it with Bug Stop. I've piled Borax in corners and gaps between shelves and walls. We never saw a roach in 9 years until a new scummy tenant moved in next door. It's a nightmare.

[@Authorthings]

Very helpful. Wish I watched this before I covered my kitchen in it. Gotta wash it off of the cabinets now. Sigh. Good video!

[@honesty777]

Better the ortho.i have had EXCELLENT RESULTS.saw 2 roaches outside dead.big ones.flies horribly on ground....so yeah IT WORKS.IT WILL MAKE U COUGH.it is immediately for flies.

[@simplyjustash]

I bought this because of stink bugs, I hope this works! I dont know how to apply it in an upward (ceiling) area.

[@trishbrk3073]

You aren't kidding about needing to wear a mask when using this. I did not and by the time I had 1 room done I was coughing so hard I was gagging, my eyes were watering, my nose was running and my ribs hurt from all of the coughing and gagging. I've never experienced anything like it before. I think I'm going back to throwing pool salt all over the place for the fleas (that works great but it's more time consuming). That has got to be better for my cats than those chemicals. I still have muscle pain in my stomach and ribs from coughing and it's been hours since I pulled my moment of utter stupidity (I did it after you warned not to)

[@RuthRodriguez-zb2in]

Well ventilated indeed. I now keep door open when spraying. The mist is fine and highly poisonous.

[@thegrinch304]

This is better than Ortho home defense.

[@bennyadams8828]

I love all Spectracide products! They do a great job!

[@Mr.Phoreskin]

That’s odd. I’ve used it twice in a three month period and still see spiders regularly

[@jww312]

Doesn't work for roaches

[@gameratortylerstein5636]

Everyone must wear a breath protective mask when using this indoors and outsoors when it's not windy.

[@nellafay5485]

I just got it today for pinch bugs I pray it works. They usually come in the back door I rent, landlord took screen door off for another house, so 3 yrs later it's in the shed. I've had problems ever since I need to move. 🙏🏼🤞🏼. I'll let you know by tomorrow or Sunday ✌🏼😮😮

[@sayittomyfaceidareyou8629]

I just bought this, I'm praying it works. I sprayed all along walls and crevices. I will update in a couple weeks if it works or not. You could spray along the outside of your house, no? That should stop the ants no? Also it says kills on contact on the front of bottle. You would think they would u tell you that on the bottle and not misinform you

[@HolisticBanana333]

I Just used it to kill a spider that was literally on my kitchen faucet, when I sprayed it and then head in the sink under my dishes that were drying. How do I safely clean it off my dishes or pots after accidentally spraying them? Should I just throw away the sprayed kitchen where? Should I clean it with boiling water? I don’t want any of us getting sick especially a baby. I tried calling the number on the bottle to but nobody answers and I press two to speak with an agent and it doesn’t do anything.

[@KK-xz2so]

I can't get the hose to work and this was completely jumped over. How do I put the hose in the bottle and get it to start spraying. Mine is open and so is the nozzle spray (turned to on) but nothings coming out!! HELP PLEASE!!!

[@jennifermccrady9505]

Mine is doing the same did you figure it out

[@pigletmspiggy2u765]

You have to pull the cord all the way out. I was having the same problem then I watched the video and forgot it comes out like that once I did that it spayed perfectly

[@BizzaroBrainBoi]

i sprayed this stuff around the house without a mask on... am i screwed?

[@My-Say]

No, it kills on contact, literally. One spray on a spider and it is gone in minutes. I really hate killing anything, but spiders are a real issue in my house. They can keep their ugly nests outside where all the other bugs are. You really sprayed a lot. lol I run away when I spray just 2 squirts because I feel it in my lungs instantly.

[@traviszimmerman1427]

Hi Steve. You are exactly right. Thats what I was trying to say in a comment above. Ive used it directly on spiders, and it WILL definently kill them on contact with one spray. its like the spider is going nuts and it immobilizes them! i would like to know what it exactly does to the spider.....ya know?

[@robstratton2149]

How do ya hook up the sprayer? Sorry, I must be stupid

[@traviszimmerman1427]

Actually, Even if a person is not supposed to spray this stuff right on an insect, I do that on spiders, because I hate them, and have arachnaphobia, and IT DOES KILL THEM ON CONTACT! I mean it may take a minute or so, but it definently does something to the bug to immobilize it. Ive done it many times.

[@Overmillion]

Lol you sure you didn't just simply drown it? 😅

[@metl7734]

I'm the same way, I had 2 rose bushes outside my new apartment and their is a spiders nest in there, just 20 or so big spiders so I've been trying to find out how to get rid of the rose bush and the spiders
