Insect Deterrent 20LB | Natural Repellent for Outdoors

First Saturday Lime Insect Deterrent is easy to apply and works well around my home and yard. I especially love using it in my trash cans because it helps control odors and keeps them smelling fresh. The 20-pound bag is a great value, and I would definitely recommend it!

I usually buy first Saturday lime from my local Farm & Fleet. Unfortunately, they have been out of stock. I was happy to find it here on Amazon and it was right from the company at a lower price than my local store. I appreciate the fast shipping packaged well and a great product. Highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a safe pest alternative for their dogs. My dog is extremely sensitive to whatever is in my grass. Well ever since I’ve used this product, Her paws are not red raw and she’s not licking them. I keep my grass extremely short and use this product every 30 days like clockwork.

Hands down, the best coop and run deodorizer. I feel like we have tried all the alternatives at this point, because this stuff is pricey and we go through a lot of it. But so far, nothing else beats it’s effectiveness. Keeps the chickens from smelling, even in the hottest of days. We also don’t have mites or other bugs.

Without a doubt the best bug deflector on the market.

Quick Verdict If you want a safe, non‑spray barrier to keep ants and crawling pests away from your home’s foundation and garden beds, First Saturday Lime delivers. It’s easy to apply, effective once the barrier is established, and the 20‑lb box offers great coverage for the price. What I Tested Duration: 1 month Environment: Garden beds, vegetable rows, fruit trees, and house foundation What I evaluated: Reduction in earwigs around vegetables Fewer ant trails around the base of the house Real‑World Results Noticeably fewer earwigs around young vegetable plants after two applications. Ant trails dropped significantly once I laid a consistent perimeter around the foundation. Good value — the 20‑lb box covers a surprisingly large area. Easy to apply — spreads smoothly and stays put when dry. Once the barrier is down, bug traffic decreases within a day or two. What I Wish I Knew Earlier Shipping delays: My delivery date changed multiple times due to back‑order issues, and it arrived about two weeks late. Storage matters: Humidity will cause clumping — keep a sealed tote ready for storage. You’ll need to reapply after heavy rain, especially in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a much safer alternative to spray pesticides, especially around edible plants and pets. Pros Keeps bugs away from newly transplanted vegetables and fruit trees Safer than chemical sprays 20 lbs covers a large area — great value Easy to apply around house foundations, garden beds, and coop areas Concerns You’ll use a lot if you’re in a rainy climate Needs consistent reapplication to maintain the barrier Shipping delays can be frustrating Bottom Line If you’re a homeowner or gardener who wants a natural, effective, and pet‑safe way to deter ants, earwigs, and crawling insects, First Saturday Lime is absolutely worth it. Just be prepared to reapply after rain and store it properly to avoid clumping.

I love this stuff. I use it every time I clean my chicken coop out. Keeps the smell down and noticeably less flies.

This stuff is awesome! I wish the price was a little bit lower, but I will buy as often as possible. I think I would use a 55 gallon drum if I had it. I use it for my chicken coop, I sprinkle it all over the free range area, and where my dogs go outside. Then I use it around the outside of my house. I noticed immediately that the flies were not coming around like they had been. I use the deep little method in my chicken coop and use it before I add more litter. This stuff is amazing and I highly recommend it!

I use this product in my chicken coop to deter bugs and mites. So far it has been working very well. I did notice that when it rains a lot, it needs to be refreshed more often than once a month. (Obviously because it gets washed away). I wish it had more lasting results to truly only be a once a month use. It is a little on the more expensive side for a smaller sized bag. Also, make sure to wear a mask when using because it is very fine powder and will be inhaled easily if not using proper precautions.

A+ product

Quite expensive to buy but lasts a long time so quite good value I think and prevents any insect pests in my chicken coup

Works great . My dogs have not had any ticks since I put this down

Bon produit, un peu dispendieux pour la quantité mais semble efficace!

Does not work that great
