Eco Defense Biobased Pest Control Spray - Ant, Roach, Spider, Bug Killer and Repellent - Natural Indoor & Outdoor Bug Spray - Child & Pet Friendly

Well, it works! As you can see we had a hundred of these giant ugly spiders on our front & back porch. Not knowing if they were poisonous we wanted to do something about them. I tried to make my own repellant with vinegar & peppermint oil, & took down all their webs... they were back the next day. So I decided to go the natural bug killer route, & found this. I probably now have 20 dead spiders to clean up! (Is this a good thing? *squirms*) But, it works! I did spray the webs earlier in the day hoping they just wouldn’t come back to them, but by night they’d swarmed back & I decided I needed to take a more aggressive stance & danced around my front & back porch spraying spiders a bunch of times & having my boyfriend hold the door open for me to run in when it was time. My neighbors probably made popcorn. This morning I woke up to a bunch of dead spiders, so it’s effective! It’s killed the ants that have been plaguing my kitchen as well, though I learned I need to reapply at least once a day for it to “kill on contact”. I later learned the spiders were harmless, & we feel kind of bad but we were walking into webs constantly & didn’t want to be on our porch at night & I was over it. I hope it is a residual & none come back, we’ll see!

I have been using these products for years. Since I have cats I am very concerned about chemical pesticides and was looking for a bug spray that was all natural. I found Eco Defense to be very effective and not harmful to my animals. Of course I do not spray it while they are in the room, and I usually wait until the aroma dissipates and I wipe up any liquid on the floor and counters before I let them back in especially since cats are more sensitive to essential oils, many can poison them so I am very careful. I spray it around the windows and doorways outside and in cracks under cabinets etc. The aroma is a very pleasant and minty. It really keeps the bugs out which is the goal and since I live in the French Quarter (city) of New Orleans we do get some mighty bugs and it works really, really well.

This product does NOT kill bugs immediately or on contact, BUT it definitely kills them after a period of time.There was absolutely no smell/fumes and it is safe, natural, and organic which is the ONLY reason I purchased it since I have 4 fur babies.The spray section of the bottle I received did leak after each use which was a little hassle.I did go through the bottle rather quickly since I felt I had to super saturate the area in extreme amounts for it to work. If you have a healthy perfect green lawn (which I do not) be careful as it might bleach your lawn when you spray on little areas where ants may be. Other than that I was very pleased and will buy it in the future.If my review was helpful to you in anyway, I would love and be grateful for you to please click "helpful." Thank you.

The spray bottle part of mine didn’t work well. The first time I used it, it didn’t seem to work so I pumped the sprayer extra times thinking it just needed to get going. It ended up dripping all out of the lid all over the floor and my hands despite me holding it upright while pumping the sprayer. (I will say, it smells amazing). I was trying to spray after seeing a roach and expected a spray to come out and reach it but it would spray well.I set it down to go wash up and it later fell sideways and the entire bottle leaked out all over the sticky traps I also bought with these, ruining those and making this a doubly expensive unproductive purchase. I know not notice the bottle fall over is my fault, but it’s disappointing the packaging was faulty. I will never know if this product is actually useful. All I can attest to is it does small amazing— so much better then other eco-friendly bug sprays I’ve tried. I didn’t even mind the smell all over my hands/pants/shoes from leaking but I didn’t think it would be good to let sit on my skin. Nevertheless, I’ll be going back to the overpowering scented ones in order to not risk wasting money on faulty sprayers.

The smell is awesome, but I would say this works in case you have a very mild infestation. Where I used to live there were roaches almost everywhere and this spray couldn’t solve a thing (sometimes I think that they were stronger).

I just checked through my orders, and I have been using this product consistently since 2019. I hate the smell of Raid and the toxicity of other insecticides so I tried this. I will tell you that it doesn't work that great on cockroaches, at least the ones where I live. A dozen sprays and they just look at me like, "Really?!! That's funny!" So, that being said, small insects like ants and spiders don't stand a chance. We have an ant problem every year - you know those pesky tiny guys. Interestingly, if I spray a strip down the long parade of ants, they just die, and any future ants avoid the line of spray. Of course they end up marching along parallel to the route I sprayed. Eventually, within 48 hours, the ants just disappear.I have pets so I was interested in something that's not so toxic. I have one sprayer downstairs near the kitchen and another upstairs. Depending on the time of year and number of sprays, one bottle lasts about six months. It's a pretty good size bottle (16 oz). The smell is pleasant (lemon-grassy, even though it's not an ingredient) and not overpowering.Yes, it's a little pricey, but worth it. If you have small children and pets, it's a good alternative to stronger insecticide sprays. I would definitely recommend this product.
