Know before you buy
No, this product is specifically formulated for outdoor use only. It should be applied to exterior surfaces like foundations, door frames, and window sills to create a protective barrier.
It does both. The formula provides an immediate knock-down effect for insects you see, while also leaving behind a residual deposit that continues to control pests that cross the treated area.
The aerosol can is designed to reach distances of 10 to 15 feet, which is helpful for treating high eaves or hard-to-reach cracks and crevices around your home's exterior.
Beyond ants, this spray is effective against cockroaches, spiders, and a variety of other common household insects that typically invade from the outdoors.
Yes, every 19 oz can includes a precision extension tube. You can attach this to the nozzle to direct the spray into tight cracks, crevices, or specific gaps where pests are hiding.
The product sprays as a milky white liquid that expands upon contact. While it is designed to leave an effective residual deposit, it is intended for use on exterior surfaces where a visible barrier is generally not a concern.
