Delta Gard Granules 20 lb Bag

VERY EFFECTIVE PRODUCT!

This stuff is amazing! We moved into a house and were having issues with springtails and it was driving me crazy!!! I tried everything and nothing worked until this. I sprinkled it everywhere in the mulch and water it a little bit. I seen results in a week. It has helped with ants and spiders as well. I will definitely keep buying this.

I've lived in my home in Arizona for 9 years. I've had professional pest control every other month for the 9 years. My home was built on an orange grove, so, lots of scorpions. The pest control companies did an "OK" job with the scorpions, but, I've always found at least one per week, inside, during the summer months. I decided to go on the extreme offensive. I purchased a scorpion black light and Delta Gard Granules about 35-40 days ago. The first night I used the black light I killed 9 scorpions of various sizes throughout my back yard. The back yard is a very large space, but, I was shocked to kill 9 of those suckers. One of the scorpions I killed was a female with 4-6 tiny babies attached to her back. It was quite disgusting. The next day, I spread the Delta Gard Granules around all of the borders and around my house. I put a little extra in the areas I killed the 9 from the night before. That night I went on a hunt with my black light and killed 5. The next night 2...the last 30 days I have killed about 6 in total. The last 2 nights I have not found a single scorpion. I'm going to apply the granular once every 30 days during the summer. Once every 3 or so months during the winter. This product also worked great on the ant hills that periodically "pop up". Excellent product and I will purchase again.

Very solid product, here are some examples I've seen: has kept bugs away from newly planted flowers - day 1 after planting zinnias I noticed chomp marks all over the leaves. I sprinkled these granules around the area where my flowers were planted and the next day - no bite marks. For months, the bugs have been noticeably absent from this area. I tried broadcasting the granules over an area where grubs and beetles live, but I think it was too dilute to have a strong effect. The best way to use this product is to apply in lines around an area you want to keep bug-free. I used the rest of the bag to apply a zone of protection around our house, 6-8 inches from the foundation. I covered the granules with rocks to keep the wind from dispersing it, and months later, no scorpions, cockroaches, or ants near our house. If you have a rock or concrete fence, beetles and other bugs use the base as a place to hide - same for irrigation valve boxes, brick pathways, anywhere dark and wet and protected. Those areas are prime spots to use this product. So far I'm very impressed.

I've used this before, but this is the first time I bought it from Amazon--I was too lazy to drive out to the store. First, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the information on spreader settings for residential use is nearly non-existent. That said, I own a Scott's Edgeguard DLX. I measured 3 lbs. and calibrated my spreader. A setting of 2 3/4 - 3 works for my spreader. I hope that helps others. It takes a couple days for the results to be readily apparent, but this stuff works. The small populations of ants disappeared. I haven't seen any spiders or other insects (alive) after application. Larger spiders like wolf spiders do die, but they take a little longer--bigger spider and tougher resistance. After all is said and done, this product works well and I'm happy to keep using it! The one nice little touch the company adds is a ziploc seal for the bag. This eliminates the need to track down a clothes pin or something else to close the bag. I wish other companies would start doing this!

Had a infestation problem with spiders in our backyard lawn. It's been 3 weeks since I've used this, and I haven't seen one since! Please make sure to spray your lawn with some water after spreading the granulars to activate the product!

Have used Delta guard in the past. Noticed a big Improvement in roaches inside the house. Fewer outside near house. Spread outside base of house, wet it down or let the first rain wet it down.

I am not a spider person, (terrified, terrified)! This product is easy to use and did help keep them at bay.
