Tools and Hardware Reviews of Safer Ant & Roach (2 Pack)
Customer Review: Ok only if you have pets.
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all let me say that this product does limit the ant and roach population in the home and it is great to use if you have pets and young children. Because of my dogs I was very concerned about using Raid so I opted for this product instead. And although I am somewhat satisfied with this product it does not work as good as Raid. It does NOT kill anything in seconds like advertised. I drowned an ant with this stuff and it was still crawling around for minutes afterwards and most likely would have stayed alive if I didn't kill it. The spray acts more like a barrier to keep the pests away but doesn't kill them. I used this product with a combination of Orange Guard (bought through the same company) and Orange Guard certianly works much better and is also healthy for pets and children.
I still would recommend this product for those who have pets but I am purchasing Raid spray as well. I think it would be much better to use the Raid spray in areas that are not occupied by pets and children but use this and/or Orange guard in the more open areas of the house. Also open a window when using it the mint smell is great when used in moderation however you would more than likely want to spray your entire home and it can build up to an overpowering scent.
Customer Review: It stops palmetto bugs but doesn't kill
Summary: 3 Stars
When I drowned a palmetto bug in the spray it still managed to get away into a crack but it didn't die. I ended up smashing a very quick palmetto bug the next day and I'm sure it was the same one because it exploded with a very potent minty odor. It has paralyzed a bug long enough to smash it so I still prefer it to poison but I wish I could skip the squishing.Customer Review: Not nearly as effective or pleasant as the old Cedar scented one.
Summary: 2 Stars
The first time I used Victor Poison-Free Ant and Roach Killer, its active ingredient was Cedar Oil (M631) and it was not only very effective against ants, it had a pleasant smell, and didn't bother me or my cat. I thought I had my ant problem solved in a safe, healthy way. When I ran out, all that I could find was the product by the same name, but with Mint oil (M601). It is not nearly as effective, some ants die, some don't, and new ones just crawl right through the sprayed areas on their way to further explorations of my house. And though I normally like mint flavor and smell, this was offensive and caused me congestion. My cat was even wheezing and avoiding the stuff. I wonder what it would take to get them to make the Cedar oil one again!Customer Review: Not so great
Summary: 2 Stars
This spray kills most ants within 5 - 10 seconds, but does not appear to inhibit further ant infestations. Some family members find the smell of the spray quite objectionable.Customer Review: At least it smells nice
Summary: 1 Stars
We shook it upside down for 15 seconds. We continued to shake it in between sprays. We initially sprayed an entire area of our kitchen where we see them most, enough to where our entire house smelled like mint for about 12 hours. Then we went outside and sprayed the exterior. 2 days later, we saw 2 roaches. It seemed to stun one roach enough to manually kill it. When we sprayed the rest of the can on the other roach, it finally died after about a minute. I thought "Kills in seconds" meant that it would kill in a few seconds, like under 30, but I guess the company was rather liberal with that. I'm really disappointed and don't know what I did wrong.
