TERMINIX SafeShield Natural Indoor Insect Control - 16 oz

We don't like using pesticides or toxic chemicals, in general, but we had to do something. We couldn't walk out our door without a swarm of bugs rushing in (flies, stinkbugs, ants, spiders--you name it). Usually when we spray things the bugs just hunker down until we stop and then go on about their business, but when I sprayed this, they fled. And I mean they fled as fast as their many legs would carry them. No sign of anything around the doors since I sprayed earlier today. We'll see how long it lasts before we have to respray, but so far this is working great!

Wow, it might very well be effective, but the smell is really overwhelming! Some people here have stated that it has a nice, fresh scent, but I can't even tell if it smells good, bad or neutral--I just know I feel nauseous. My entire 2BR apartment smells like this after I sprayed around the balcony door from the outside, so I could only imagine how overpowering it would be if I were to spray around the kitchen and the bathrooms. I don't consider myself sensitive but this product is making me dizzy.

Smells nice but overwhelming. We sprayed it for a small ant infestation. The ants stuck around for about 2 weeks and then never returned. I am not sure if it was this spray or the ant bait traps we deployed at the same time. It does leave a greasy residue on surfaces.

When you read about it's strong scent, believe it. This isn't something I would use in a bedroom or as a barrier throughout the home, since the odor is quite a shock to the senses (mine at least), somewhat like ammonia and rotten citrus. If this stuff repels insects by odor alone I would believe it, though that presumes insects sense fragrance in the same way. They sense something, because repel insects it does. I use it as a barrier at points of entry for insects like doorways and the outside of windowsills.

Great product fro getting rid of unwanted critters around your house. The best thing about this product is that it claims it is safe around pets. As far as I'm concerned, the claim is correct. My cats didn't sneeze or get any reactions to the product. Like most repellants, there is a smell, but this ones smell hangs around considerable shorter. Overall, this is a great product that you should try if there are any unwanted insects at your house.

I agree with others that the smell is tough to take--smells VERY unnatural. Also, a nice burning sensation if it gets on your skin. I bought for an indoor spider plant that had some little flying insects living in the dirt. I sprayed lightly and ran away from the room for a while. Yesterday, I was disappointed to see that the bugs are still there and the plant is dying! I hope the plant rallies and survives...I've had it for 12 years! In summary, don't buy this nasty, non-functioning chemical spray. Better off sticking to things like lemon, vinegar and baking soda if you want an all-natural cleaner, deodorizer, bug deterrent, etc...

Excellent insect control without having to worry about the kids or the cat, totally safe for countertops and other sensitive areas, does have a strong citrus smell but that dissipates within an hour or so

Terrible Bottle! It is not sealed near the sprayer. It got knocked over and more than half the contents spilled out staining my porch floor. Also, it is very slippery. My husband did a split (not a pretty thing) when he walked where it was sprayed. Thankfully, he wasn't injured. Maybe his pride but not his body. Please Terminex, fix this lousy design. The idea of a non-toxic spray is wonderful as I have pets.
