Grandpa Gus’s Product Works
I wanted to useGrandpa Gus’s Ant, Roach, & Fly Killer product cause of fly infestation in my home recently. I tried other products but pesticide was dominant ingredient and I worried about health of my 3 cats due to pesticide exposure. Grandpa’s description was milder formula with more natural ingredients lemongrass scent much better than DEET. So I put sprayer setting on ‘Spray’ vice ‘Stream’ to get all flies around my outside area. (It’s ok to use inside as well outside, but flies are currently only outside.). Well, they didn’t just gasp and drop at my feet after spraying… but when I returned to area after 30 minutes, some flies were lying there dead. Winds were strong so surely some flies escaped the treatment. So it does work outside. This summer, I will definitely try Grandpa’s product inside house while carefully monitoring cats and flies.

Environmentally friendly, effective, and pleasantly scented.
Grandpa Gus's Ant, Roach, and Fly Killer is a pleasant-smelling and effective product with plant-based active ingredients that are safe for us around pets and children. The container and spray head feel sturdy and comfortable and the lemongrass scent is not likely to be confused for other chemical-heavy insecticides. Lemongrass oil is actually one of the active ingredients along with geraniol and sodium lauryl sulfate. The spray selector provides selectable options for "off," "stream," and "spray." I found the stream to be reasonably strong for an unpressurized container, and the spray setting offered a slightly off-center cone of product with an effective range of roughly two feet. In terms of effectiveness, I tried it out on several small spiders and flying insects as I fortunately do not have any roaches in or around my home. Every flying insect from small gnats, to common flies, to small moths all went down with a single spray and stayed down. Even though this product is not intended for use on spiders, it worked on a common house spider, a small brown one, and a daddy-long-legs. A slow jumping spider however was unfazed. I recommend this spray for anyone who wants to handle small insect pests and is worried about the environment, their pets, or children. I cannot vouch for the effectiveness of this product against cockroaches, but if it works half as well as it does on flying insects, then it should take care of roaches too.

Love using Grandpa Gus's insecticide. I can spray it indoors without any harsh chemical scents. It's plant based. It doesn't make me cough.
I have indoor dogs that come in and out of the house repeatedly. This causes lots of flies in the kitchen. The previous insecticide I was using had a very harsh chemical smell that made me cough, and I didn't like to swat the flies because of the squishy mess they leave behind. I like that this insecticide is plant based. It still has a slight scent to it, but it is tolerable. It does not kill the fly instantly, but they do end up dying quickly. I'm so glad to have found Grandpa Gus's insecticide because I don't like sharing my home with the flies.

Ok, but not amazing
I got this because at Christmas a box came in with German cockroaches. I was excited to try it out so I could fix the problem. The bottle is a good size, and I like the look of it. The smell is not great, but definitely not as bad as traditional sprays. When I sprayed the bugs they didn’t die instantly and started to scatter. Because the nozzle sprays like a regular spray bottle and not a hard line I wasn’t sure if I got them with enough spray and I sprayed a lot until they slowed down. In the end the bugs died, it smelled ok, and I was happy.

Fits perfectly in my hand After having carpal tunnel surgery twice in my right hand, my hand not very strong but this bottle is perfect. It’s light bo
I sprayed some of grandpa Gus’s Spray in my vitamin drawer, because the ants were after my vitamin C. I was allowed to do small spurts of spray. So not overwhelming amounts came out .I like the size of the bottle. It is not too overwhelmingly heavy. It fits perfectly in my hand. and there is no overwhelming after smell. also, very happy that it is pet friendly

Grandpa Gus’s Insecticide does the job, naturally!!!
Make sure you have the bottle primed, as you will have a more challenging time hitting the intended bug(s). Should note that since you must be about 12 inches from the bugs, you must be quick. Recognize that anything that flies have the advantage as you must get close to be effective. I used Grandpa Gus’s Insecticide successfully on Wood, Brick (outside) painted surfaces and carpeting. The product worked as designed. There was no staining or residue on any surface. There was a slight odor, like essential oils, was noticeable for a few minutes while the product dried. My cat did not show any interest associated with the product. Being a plant-based product had lots of pluses across the board and being animal and kid friendly was an excellent choice. I have used many insecticides over many years, Grandpa Gus’s insecticide is a strong product to consider.

It doesnt work like it says it should.
This product doesn't work lie it says. It says it kills on contact, but it does not. Ants are stil walking around 10 minutes after sprayed. It says to spray on the bug and i did, but the ants are still alive. I am always looking for bug killer because we always have a tremendous amount of ants every year due to living in the woods. . I do not recommend this product if you have problems as i do. It seems anything plant based never works.

Works great on ants - kills them instantly
The trigger works great and doesn't leak once it's closed. I had some ants wanter into my garage so I thought this would be a great opportunity to try Grandpa Gus's spray. It worked like a charm! I let it dry before wiping up and cleanup was easy. I used a paper towel and threw it away. When the weather is warmer I will try this on flies and update my review.
