Aunt Fannie’s Ant Spray for Indoor Use (Single)

**Edit** I am about to buy my 3rd bottle of this product. Pro: it kills ants instantly and keeps them away for a few days. Con: if you have persistent ants coming in from outside that keep coming you might want to consider getting this product AND placing some poison they take back to the nest, or putting ant bait outside. I have a small child so I am not placing poison in our common spaces. I’ll keep buying this I guess, just wanted to give an update. Original review: Ants crawled in through a hole under our bathtub faucet. I have been spraying the ants and the areas they travel in for three days with this spray. The spray suffocated the ants immediately and I later washed them down the drain. Learned to be careful and ventilate the room, and continued to spray often. Over 3 days and the bottle is halfway empty, but the ants have stopped coming! Yay! When we tried the another product, liquid ant bait, the ants kept coming for at least a month. I prefer this! Caution, ventilation is best as being to close to the spray can make you cough and feel irritated in respiratory system. I recommend 2-4 quick sprays and then leave the room.

I was very surprised when this product killed the line of ants in my house directly, all within five seconds. The spray has a pleasing citrus smell, and washes off easily. While this product works effectively at killing the ants, it has not yet helped me wipe them out. The ants I have simply go around the area I sprayed, sometimes climbing the wall four feet to get around the area. I am hoping with repeated applications (or winter) that they go away for good. In the meantime, I will keep using this product to keep the population in my house as low as I can.

I bought this to replace a similar product that uses essential oils. It works well enough but not perfectly, but that's a point I'm willing to concede to keep my pets safe and healthy. This works similarly. I've sprayed various parts of my baseboard and trim where ants like to come in around a week ago, and they've definitely moved to other parts of my home. I figure if I get the perimeter covered, I'll be good for a while. The scent is fine and fades quickly but I do have one complaint. It's SO slippery on the tile in my kitchen. It leaves a ton of residue, which the product I am replacing did not. I let it dry and then wipe it up. Seems to still work well enough but I figured others should beware this extra step. Because of the residue, I would not use this on table or countertops.

I live in the South where there is always something flying or crawling by! Tried this for black ants and fruitflies in the window where my cat loves to watch the birds thru the screen. Have to apply fairly often but it works great and is safe for the kitty. Just discovered that it works nicely on drainflies and the occasional spider as well. Love that is does NOT have a chemical smell.

This product smells really good. It leaked a little in the package, but I've come to expect that with nozzles. This product kills ants when you spray it on them. Is it just the fact they drown or the scents or both? I can't tell. But it does not prevent ants. I've read tea tree oil and peppermint oil and lavender help keep ants away. If I wanted to just kill them I could use Windex or even water to drown them. Aside from vacuuming and mopping multiple times a day, I want a natural product that prevents them from accumulating in the first place. Also note if you spray a lot of this it has glycerin which essentially gives it a soapy affect and it will make a tile floor pretty slippery.

This kills ants on contact and I love that it’s a natural option but it does nothing to prevent future ants. I’m still having to use it daily with no less of an ant problem than before I purchased. I now have to buy another solution.

Amazing!! I’ve been looking for something pet safe as I have a cat. I have a horrible yearly ant problem and so far this has not only killed the ants on contact, but they haven’t returned so far! The scent is VERY mild rosemary and my cat is not bothered or attracted to it at all! I just came to buy another bottle to find it unavailable, hopefully it is restocked soon!

Been battling ants with my cats food dishes. I got this because I didn't want any nasty chemicals around my fur babies. As other commentors stated, it does leave a soapy residue BUT it killed the ants on contact. Not a terribly strong scent either. Time will tell if it will stop them from coming back.
