156481 Bug Paint Additive, 5 Gallon

I recently had my whole house painted and bought 3 of these. I probably should have purchased 4, because my painter used it all up. I had to continually remind the painter to keep stirring the paint to keep it mixed in, but I didn't hover over them to make sure. I had previously used this to paint my porch ceiling over 5 years ago and never had a single spiderweb or bug infestation on it. I live in south Florida and that's rare, so I know this stuff works. On my whole house, only time will tell.

For small paint jobs, it's easy to open the cap on the measuring side and squeeze the bottle to fill to the proper level.

I have used this insecticide paint additive for many years. I use it in combination with a mold inhibitor as well. Great for exterior painting, especially where a lot of insects are present. No wasps, mud dobbers, spiders, etc. DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANY SURFACES THAT PEOPLE OR PETS COME IN CONTACT WITH. It is a persistant, residual poison. Toxic! But great for the outside of a house, barn, shed, etc. It really works!

I had my house professionally painted and had my painter add 1 container to every 5gal bucket as instructed. My painter had never heard of it and thought it was too good to be true. I went to the Dunn Edward’s store to make sure it was comparable with my paint and they had the same reaction, but told me it’s fine to add to the paint nonetheless.Not only did it not work…but I kid you not, the next day my entire house was COVERED in little tiny gnats! It’s been about 4 months since I had the house painted with this product and I definitely have spider webs in the eves and corners, under the windowsills….this stuff totally didn’t work. Like at all. Zero stars.

We had pantry moths, I tried so many different remedies, and nothing worked. So, with this product added into my pantry paint (along with a tbsp vanilla). I completely cleared, and cleaned my pantry. Got rid of every item that had a remote possibility of contamination. Bought biokips sealing containers, for items that can be a target for these pests, and after several months so far so good. No pests. Wasting money on strips, and traps was rediculous. There is no easy way to permanently end the pantry pest problem. But what I did works so far.

I've used this product for years and it's hard to tell whether it works. What I can say is that until I started dusting the carpenter bees were having a field day.What I can't say is whether it would have been worse if I hadn't used the product.

I was not sure if this was actually going to work but thought it was worth a try anyways. Every summer I had problems with wood bees digging holes in my deck and I wanted to find a solution. Adding this to my oil based stain seems to do the trick. I watched the bees land on the wood and fly away. I have only observed this for about a month now but I hope this lasts. It did not change the color of my stain in anyway and I simply added a little bit to my stain when I was putting it on. I know its a bit pricey but it seems to be doing the trick.

This is a good product; however, the Amazon ad says it treats up to 5 gallons of paint and it weighs 16 ounces. What I received was a 8 1/3 ounce of the bug paint additive (the ad does not say shipped weight). The ad is incorrect. I have contacted the seller and asked for 7.67 ounces of this additive, as I paid for that much. After several e-mail exchanges, the seller is not willing to do this. Also, he said Amazon does not allow the ad to be changed, after I suggest he fire his proofreader and replace the proofreader with someone who could do the job. This ad is incorrect.
