Do you want to kill yellowjackets? Because this is how you kill yellowjackets.
And ants, and termites, and bees, so please be careful.Some years we get infested by yellow jackets. To be clear, yellow jackets, even though they are a distant cousin, and look a little like bees, ARE NOT BEES. Bees are happy go lucky, great neighbors. Yellowjackets are vicious little punks that try to pick fights over every little thing, and deserve death.Yellow jackets like meat. Bee's do not (some people call yellow jackets meat bees). I mixed a little bit of this stuff with a tin of cheap canned chicken, and set it in an area where yellow jackets hung out. Less than 24 hours later, there wasn't a single yellow jacket anywhere in sight. They take it back to the queen, and kill the whole colony. Now I have a ton of it left, and you can bet next year I'm going to use it even earlier in the season.

My grandchildren can now enjoy my lawn!
I had to write a review on this product. People talk about this mostly about termites. But I had a very serious ant problem . my grandchildren couldn't go into the grass for even 30 seconds without getting ants all over them. I had put out bait and that helped but the infestation was so bad that ants drank it all up dry in no time. So I mixed up two gallons worth, sprayed it all around the perimeter of the yard and the outside of the house and then did a 5-foot Square grid throughout the lawn. In a week all the ants were gone I've gone out into the lawn Barefoot walked all around everywhere not a single ant bit me. The grandchildren roll around in the grass for 30 minutes playing all kinds of games not a single bite. Very pleased!

Best value for this expensive product
This works great as a non repellent product. Rather than kill on contact and repell insects this chemical is not recognized as a poison. The long lasting residual will stick to the insects that come in contact later and be transferred to others in the colony or hiding spaces. By killing slowly it kills more thoroughly than contact killers. It will kill nearly every pest but is safe for pets and children once dried and it leaves no stain so it can be sprayed nearly anywhere bugs get in or where they hide. One of the best overall insect killers available at a great price.

No more sugar ants!
I don't write too many reviews, but I had to review this product. I've had a terrible oderous sugar ant problem until one year ago when I purchased this product (tiny black ants that have a peculiar smell when crushed). The ants were everywhere in my house... kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms. If one crumb or speck of food were left out without being secured in a zip-lock bag or Tupperware container, a line of ants would form in less than an hour. I tried everything... store bought sprays, ant traps granules, you name it. These remedies had little to no effect and if they did work, they only worked for a few days and only in the area you placed them. Out of frustration I bought this product and applied it to the outside parameter of my house. I saw a diminishing number of ants over the next few days... then an occasional stray ant for about a month ( I'm talking one dazed ant every 5 to 6 days). Then there was nothing... absolutely nothing for an entire year! What a relief to be able to purchase boxed pastries and not have to worry about repackaging them in plastic bags! Finally, ants aren't ruling my life. The past couple of weeks I've noticed a few ants in my bathroom. I've got no problem spraying again after a year of ZERO ants (also controlled other pests including spiders). Just make sure you spray the parimerer real good and don't miss an inch. I also sprayed around doors and windows.

Great Stuff!
Very pleased with the Taurus SC product. I applied this in sweltering 90+ degree temperatures and it took me the better part of an hour to treat the entire perimeter of our townhouse. It then started to pour down rain immediately upon my finishing the treatment (grumble grumble). I was pretty mad that I would have to redo the entire treatment later.We have an absurd amount of ants around our property, but through diligent application of indoor pest repellent we manage to keep them mostly at bay. Lately I've been seeing more activity around the deck and basement area which led me to purchasing this product. In my application I did find a large colony of ants outside of our basement living in some English ivy we have growing there. I managed to douse that area thoroughly and I can say after just a few days there is zero activity in that area or around/on the deck.So I can safely say, this stuff works!

Effective for German roaches.
Effective for German roaches. Sprayed all over apartment, inside all crevices and outside. Noticed dead bugs or dying bugs at various intervals with apparent thinning of the population. After 3 weeks I didn't see a roach. In 3 months I saw a single roach, but it was dead. Unsure if it was a dead roach that was not cleaned out or a new unfortunate roach. The apartment management claimed to have found the source but I believe this product helped immensely. It was superior to the permethrin-type products, fipronil bait or Raid. Please note that this is a fipronil spray. I believe the spray allows for wider coverage increasing the odds of coming in contact with a bug, as opposed to baits which can be hit or miss. This spray is also odorless, colorless, and safe at the recommended usage concentration.

This product works!
So I recently bought a home that was neglected for 19 years. Besides fixing the things that were obvious I have been dealing with carpenter ants. I’ve tried many different products and finally found something that worked. Don’t bother with anything at the big box stores. They will only aggravate you and waste your money. Taurus is the way to go. Follow the directions and let the magic happen. One week later I have no ants in my house besides the dead carcasses. The pictures I have attached are from a tree outside. All the black are dead or dying ants. I knew there were ants in the tree but not this many.! They are still slowly staggering out in an effort to escape.This stuff works!
