Last summer we had skunks digging up the yard at night - going after the grub population in our turf. The lawn looked like someone had taken a hand spade to it in patches every morning. This spring we put in fresh plant beds and I started seeing grubs in the soil as I worked. That was enough to get ahead of it. I put down GrubEx about eight weeks ago, watered it in, and let it work. The results have been clear: no skunk damage this season, the lawn is full, and when I dig around the new plants I am not finding the grubs I was seeing in early spring. For a single-application product at this price, that is the result I was hoping for. WHAT WORKS - One application covers 5,000 sq ft for the full season. Cost per square foot is reasonable compared to hiring a lawn treatment company. - Easy to spread with a standard broadcast spreader. Granules are uniform and do not clump. - Visible results within weeks. By week 4 I had stopped seeing fresh skunk damage. By week 8 the lawn had filled in and the new beds are undisturbed. - Set-it-and-forget-it timing. Spring application, done for the season - no follow-up needed. WHAT DOES NOT - You absolutely have to water it in. The instructions say this, but it is worth repeating - if you spread it and skip the watering, you have wasted the bag. Apply right before rain or right before you run sprinklers. - The bag is dusty when you cut it open. Stand upwind and wash your hands before touching your face. Not a deal-breaker, just a heads-up. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone seeing skunk, raccoon, armadillo, or mole damage in their lawn - that is the grub population getting raided - or anyone who has just put down new plant beds and does not want them undermined. If you have no signs of grubs and no animal damage, you probably do not need this yet. Wait until you see the problem. Five stars. Bought it for a specific problem, it solved the specific problem, lawn looks better than last year. Photo of the current state included.

This ant killer works great I bought this to use around my camper. I use it around everything that touches the ground while I am camping and it prevents ants from getting into my camper. It is super easy to use with the shake top. I like that it is resealable, so nothing slips out in my storage container.

Works well. Noticed ants both red and black around my place. Treated and lightly watered. Been looking around the next day and so far, no ants. Yes it did have a light “diesel” like smell when applying but after a decent watering that goes away. The granules don’t immediately disappear from what I see so this should last a bit. So far I’m happy with the results

Works well, but very sticky

once spread it needs to wetted by hose, rain etc. Not activated until it gets wet. One wet it stays in place. Kill everything. Fast acting on the insect.

I love nature... with that being said I really don't want ants around. Exterminators are quite expensive and realistically I would rather just deal with the problem myself. I had some ants cropping up in my yard, along with some wood cockroaches in the leaf piles. After some searching, I found that this product came highly recommended so I bought it. I have not been disappointed. It's incredibly easy to use; you just open the resealable bottom, shake out some, then put some water on it to soak in the bait/poison. After a few days the ants are COMPLETELY gone from the hills. With that being said, I mostly only used this for the ants part. I put a bit where the roaches are but, since they are far from the house, I am good with them continuing on and doing their job breaking down the leaves. I just couldn't allow the ants to do the same since they were biting me every time I unwittingly stepped on/near them. This is a super fast, super easy, and super cost-effective solution. I haven't even gone through a full bag yet and it's been used several times already. If/when I do go through the bag, I certainly will get another to have more on hand. If you have ants outside and want them gone, I would absolutely give this a go. TERRO really knows their stuff when it comes to removing ants.

I tried this product to control fire ants in my yard, and it definitely kills bugs where the granules are applied. The bag capacity is generous, and since it’s a dry product, there is no leakage or messiness at all. It’s easy to pour, and the granules stay exactly where you put them, which also makes the ease of cleaning excellent - there’s nothing to wipe or wash afterward. In terms of durability, the product lasts a long time because you only need a small amount for each area. The only downside is that the ants don’t completely go away. They leave the treated spot, but they simply move a short distance and build a new nest nearby. So it works, but it doesn’t eliminate the problem fully. Overall, it’s helpful for reducing ants in a specific area, but be aware that they may relocate instead of disappearing completely.

The ants left, flies swarmed… now just a daddy long legs is holding it down out there. Good stuff… takes a minute and maybe the whole bag… but it works. The smell is pretty neutral, not offensive, and I have a sensitive sniffer. Quick and easy to spread. Hoping it’s safe… I don’t own pets. My experience has been positive. Good stuff.
