First Saturday Lime Insect Deterrent 20LB | Natural Repellent for Outdoors

Quite expensive to buy but lasts a long time so quite good value I think and prevents any insect pests in my chicken coup

First Saturday Lime Insect Deterrent is easy to apply and works well around my home and yard. I especially love using it in my trash cans because it helps control odors and keeps them smelling fresh. The 20-pound bag is a great value, and I would definitely recommend it!

I love this stuff. I use it every time I clean my chicken coop out. Keeps the smell down and noticeably less flies.

Quick Verdict If you want a safe, non‑spray barrier to keep ants and crawling pests away from your home’s foundation and garden beds, First Saturday Lime delivers. It’s easy to apply, effective once the barrier is established, and the 20‑lb box offers great coverage for the price. What I Tested Duration: 1 month Environment: Garden beds, vegetable rows, fruit trees, and house foundation What I evaluated: Reduction in earwigs around vegetables Fewer ant trails around the base of the house Real‑World Results Noticeably fewer earwigs around young vegetable plants after two applications. Ant trails dropped significantly once I laid a consistent perimeter around the foundation. Good value — the 20‑lb box covers a surprisingly large area. Easy to apply — spreads smoothly and stays put when dry. Once the barrier is down, bug traffic decreases within a day or two. What I Wish I Knew Earlier Shipping delays: My delivery date changed multiple times due to back‑order issues, and it arrived about two weeks late. Storage matters: Humidity will cause clumping — keep a sealed tote ready for storage. You’ll need to reapply after heavy rain, especially in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a much safer alternative to spray pesticides, especially around edible plants and pets. Pros Keeps bugs away from newly transplanted vegetables and fruit trees Safer than chemical sprays 20 lbs covers a large area — great value Easy to apply around house foundations, garden beds, and coop areas Concerns You’ll use a lot if you’re in a rainy climate Needs consistent reapplication to maintain the barrier Shipping delays can be frustrating Bottom Line If you’re a homeowner or gardener who wants a natural, effective, and pet‑safe way to deter ants, earwigs, and crawling insects, First Saturday Lime is absolutely worth it. Just be prepared to reapply after rain and store it properly to avoid clumping.

This stuff works as it should. I’m sold on it. I use it on my chicken coop & have no bug or smell issues. Will definitely order again.

Great product to use in the chicken coop to deter insects.
