It has to be ingested to work, since spiders are a predator I doubt it would have any effect on them. Ants maybe, but I think a spray would be more effective

No, it does not. T o kill ants I use a home remedy of diatomaceous earth (found on amazon) you sprinkle it in problem areas and it is safe. You can also mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar together and leae it near their trail or if you can locate the colony then I would apply it there. My spider and ant problem out of the kitchen and around the exterior of the house, I use ortho home defense.

My understanding is that is kills any type of hard shell bug. The product is made of tiny little shrimp. The reason that is not toxic is because the diatomaceous earth breaks down the hard shell of the bug leaving it unable to be protected by its hard cover. While I have never read anything that says that it kills spiders I would think that it does.

Dottie...the labels says it kills and repels ants beetles (non specified) centipedes cockroaches crickets earwigs fleas millipedes pantry pests pill bugs silverfish spiders sow bugs ticks and other crawling insect pests. I'd say give a bottle a shot, try to spray it on the beetle itself and the affected areas.

It kills them when you first spray. I am not sure about repelling them, for several months I do not have spiders or their webs in windows where I have sprayed and do not see any dead spiders, so maybe it is repelling them.

Yes. If the DE comes in contact with an ant then it will eventually kill it.

Yes it will still be effective. This stuff is great. It does NOT kill them like Raid. The bugs crawl or fly away after they land on it. On one of my houses I noticed that spiders actually spun webs and then died. The people who make it are super cool. Just call if you have questions.

The original version of this product killed them. The label says it does but the recent EPA guidelines forces Terro to create a less toxic blend of chemicals. This means it doesn't kill Ants anymore, they just find another route out of their colony. If you have a fire ant colony, this will keep them from coming out the entrance you spread it on, but they'll most likely just move the entrance a few feet or a few meters. To eradicate, you may need a homemade solution that is less environmentally friendly. I've sprinkled this dust directly on carpenter ants and fire ants outside the colony. Both didn't like it, but they ultimately survived and so did the colony I tried to block entrance to. This is more for taking care of the areas where they force a huge mountain of dirt onto your lawn, than for dealing with the reason it got put there.

yes it does kill carpenter ants. I used it for termites and it is a terrific product. The ants will carry the foam backto the nest where it will kill all that come in contact with it.

No, says the pest control company that recommended this to me. This products works. Put a line in an ant path and they go after it. Used this for years.

It does appear to work with spiders, crickets and cockroaches, but not sure about ants, although I'd have to think so.

Yes, this product will work to kill carpenter ants. For best results, locate and treat nests and surrounding areas. Apply around doors and windows and other places where ants enter premises and where they crawl and hide. Spray into infested wood through existing openings.

Yes it will work perfectly to kill all the ants, roaches, etc. Indeed it kills all insects. This is a very powerful product. Since I introduced it in my home, no more roaches nor insects. Sprinkle around corners and little holes in your house especially in the kitchen area, cabinets, under the stove, fridge, etc

Hello. I do not know the answer to this as I used it for trying to get rid of the ants in my lawn. It kept them at bay but unfortunately they still persist.
