HOT SHOTAnt, Roach & Spider Killer, 17.5 Ounces, Kills Roaches and Listed Ants on Contact, Indoor & Outdoor Insecticide Spray, Twin Pack

Bothered by ants on occasion. Traps work okay but I like instant results! This fits the bill with a more pleasant scent.

I started using this 6 weeks ago to rid my balcony of spiders and am pleasantly surprised by the results. It reliably kills on contact and truly seems to deter them, though not immediately. For the first couple weeks, I had to douse the area liberally each time I wished to enjoy a spiderless balcony, but they gradually appeared less frequently after that. Nowadays, I only lightly spray the perimeter a few times a week, and that may not even be strictly necessary. After seeing several big and scary specimens a day for years, I haven't seen one in weeks, and I intend to keep it that way.I do wish the stream was a bit more concentrated so that I could aim from farther away, but this stuff isn't a pain to use up close like similar products I've tried. It doesn't produce much blowback unless it's very windy, and the odor isn't super toxic. In fact, it smells more like a cleaning agent than a bug spray, and the scent doesn't linger long either. I briefly leave the area after use just to be safe and have never encountered issues or side effects.I can't say that it lasts as long as claimed since I've continued spraying sporadically for peace of mind, but I'm satisfied with the current state of things. I haven't even had to repurchase yet since the first bottle is still going strong. This is the least expensive yet most effective option I've tried, so it's a great value in my view.

I have tried two other spider killers before this one. This one works. Takes out Black Widows on contact! Sprayed a 1 second cloud from about 8" away from a decent sized black widow. Black Widow leg span may have been just over 1" across. Spider was balled up in less than 1 minute. Smell is pleasant, but only initially, then not so pleasant. To be honest, I don't want to breathe any of it, so smell isn't really a concern. Just spray and dash.

Had a little trouble with delivery but it all worked out fine

This stuff works great. I had webs forming all over in my finished basement. I tried a couple of those bomb things, but they did nothing. I emptied a can of this spray all over, including above my drop ceiling. No more bugs, webs, nothing. Love this product!

Nasty big spiders take over our house every fall. These kill them instantly! It has a long spray so you don’t have to get too close. They die within minutes. The clean linen scent actually smells good but is pretty strong, so if you’re sensitive, be aware.

Pro: cheap, fast acting, lightly scented, no chemical or oily smell.Con: if it's a con, it degrades in sunlight after a few days so you may need to re-apply.Got a major Daddy Long Legs infestation this year.The 10 ft area around my front door was fully covered with them. Solid black moving mass !.I don't mind them but this is just too many.As usual, I want something cheap and fast.As it turn out, most brands of consumer grade bug spray contains a mixture of the same set of active ingredients - synthetic Pyrethroids of one flavour or the other, cousins of Pyrethrum, sometime with a synergistic booster.To to lowest bid the order went.Well, it kill bugs dead just like the other brand.Lightly hit the throbbing wall of black mass,the long legs fell to the ground on contact.Went back for a second pass for the stragglers, got most of them.No strong odor, just the light "Crisp Linen" that went away after a few minutes.Two weeks later the eggs had hatched and the throbbing mass returns.I hit them again and this time they are gone for good.

I'd spray and it would kill what roaches I saw but then I'd still see more a day or so later. Also the smell is somewhat Old Spicy.
