Wondercide - Indoor Pest Control Spray for Home & Kitchen Peppermint 128 oz

I recently moved into an older home surrounded by nature, with a lot of crevices for critters to enter, and the basement in particular had LOTS of uninvited guests. Everything from the standard basement-dwelling cave crickets that appear to be on growth hormone, to spiders (my NEMESIS), to these mutant beetle roach looking hybrids that look like they were manufactured in Satan’s workshop to form an army, I even found a centipede?! To put it lightly, I am absolutely not fond of bugs, I scream like I’m trying out for the lead role in a low budget slasher film, I cry, I threaten arson, and I find the nearest adult who is adultier than me to squash and dispose of the offending bug. I searched high and low for a solution that would kill the small demons, prevent future attacks from Satan’s soldiers, and also not poison my kids in the process. I purchased this a few weeks ago and it has been a LIFESAVER. It really does work, it smells really nice (I got lemongrass, I’m going to try a different scent when this bottle runs out), and I can spray it without worrying about myself or my kids inhaling dangerous fumes. I sprayed the perimeter of the entire basement, and then areas where I tended to see the most bugs. It has definitely reduced the amount of bugs, and the scent lasts a while so I don’t reapply until it has completely worn off. I also use it to kill them on the spot when I see one. Because it’s an essential oil based spray it doesn’t work “immediately” like a Raid type spray would - it takes a minute or two to basically suffocate the bug, you have to coat it and then watch them squirm. Sometimes they will be sprayed in one spot and continue to crawl away as they slowly suffer, so they end up dying in a different spot. I’ve yet to have one sprayed that didn’t die. Same goes for flying insects - as long as I hit them with the spray they’re goners, but they may continue to fly for a minute or two before they eventually drop to their doom. Keep in mind this is an oil based spray, so it’s a little thicker of a liquid - it still sprays like a mist would, but when that mist settles it’s much more “wet” than standard bug poison sprays. I just wipe away any residual overspray. Always spot test, I sprayed near painted walls and you can still see the drips where the product ran down, but I’m okay with that as a trade off for a mostly bug free home. Overall I highly recommend, especially if you’re a huge oversized child who’s scared of something microscopic like I am. I will definitely continue to buy! PS: although this is labeled for indoor use I did use this outside out of desperation one night, after my toddler got 30+ mosquito bites the previous night. I sprayed the surfaces of the porch furniture, the ground of the porch, and a small perimeter. It got the job done and definitely reduced the amount of bites we got. BUT I did use up way more spray that way so I probably wouldn’t do it regularly, I need to conserve the bottle. I wish this came in a spray for human bodies.

I am extremely sensitive to chemical scents, like perfumes, deodorants, cleaners, etc, so when I had an ant problem, I was unsure what I could use that wouldn’t give me a migraine from them smell, and also wouldn’t be harmful to my cats. I bought the wondercide in cedar wood and problem solved! Killed the ants immediately! The smell isn’t overwhelming like I think the peppermint and lemongrass might be (according to the reviews I read). And it isn’t harmful to me or the cats. I’m so happy! Although the bottle is awfully small for the price. It could get awfully expensive if I have to use it very often. Let’s hope it’s as efficient as a preventative as it is as a bug killer. We will see how that goes. It came well packaged with no leakage at all. You can mist or stream spray.

It's nice! I like the more natural-based remedies. If you hit a bug directly it will kill it, but it's residual and repellant effects are very weak. I spray every few days, and frequently thru the daily times. It gets expensive for me, as that bottle is roughly a months worth of use. But they smell great. Peppermint & cedarwood are nice, the rosemary gets a bit odd scent in drydown & lingering scent. Always safe and secure, fast shipping; never any leaking.

Um... WOW. This stuff legitimately works. I needed to test this for myself because I didn't believe it. The results: I killed a full adult invasive spotted lantern fly with a few well timed shots and it died almost instantly. Took out an invasive oriental scarab beetle immediately, too. We used the outdoor version of wondercide on the patio and garden to deal with spotted lantern fly nymphs that have invaded our region, and it also works there beautifully. Normally I am extremely skeptical of essential oil based promises, because more often than not their efficacy is very over exaggerated. But not with this stuff, this stuff works. One thing to keep in mind for persistent infestations: repetition and consistency of wondercide application is likely the key to success. The cedar smell is really nice, smells like a cedar forest. The spray sticks to where it lands, which is exactly what you want. But keep in mind it might leave a residue (although that's kind of the point?) so just be aware of that in high traffic areas to avoid potential slips. Frankly I haven't noticed any issues with residue outside, though, with either indoor or outdoor version. Zero leakage of either the indoor or outdoor containers. No toxic pesticides, so it appears to be safe for humans and pets pretty quickly after use (although I would suggest to wait for it to dry to avoid potential irritation before going into the sprayed area). While this might seem pricy, I honestly think it's worth it based on my experience so far.

When it comes to waiting for the ice cream truck, I have all the patience in the world, but when it comes to ants? Not so much. In fact, I want them gone yesterday. When I see the first few scouts searching for a new home, I really don't want to wait for those bait traps to pull out the entire colony before I see improvement. At the same time I don't want to freely spray poison around the house. Wondercide turned out to be the perfect solution. It works well Those little invaders die on contact and don't come back to the area I sprayed. The lemongrass scent is very nice too. My favorite part is that it is safe. If I get a little overly zealous with the spray pottle, I don't have to worry about harming the intended residents. The only thing to be careful about is that it is oil based. This is great for helping the insecticide stay in place for a longer time, but it's best not to spray too much on surfaces that can be damaged by oil, like carpets or fabrics. Happy spraying!

Incredible for ants, literally die within seconds HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT KILL SPIDERS. It says it does but I promise you it does not. Even when they are DRIPPING in it. I literally soaked multiple spiders hoping they would die, and they did not. So for the things it kills and repels on the bottle, no to spiders and yes to ants. Not sure about roaches.

Very effective .Use of safe ingredients. No odor. A great value for the money.

We originally got this to use on moths and then also used on ants. We have used smaller bottles in both cedar and lemongrass (which both smell nice) but got the larger bottle to save money. If you spray this on any bug that we have seen it will kill on contact. It will also keep ants off of an area for a while (maybe a week) till the scent clears (less if you clean it with another product after like wipe it off (your kitchen counters). This is people and kitchen safe, natural, and not horrid smelling like many products it works better than most of the other natural stuff we tried. I have sensitive skin and asthma and this dose not bother me. It dose have a strong natural scent so if you are scent sensitive it would probably still bother you but it really smells like what they say (cedar, and lemongrass are the ones we have tried but it think there is also lavender). If you have a big infestation you will probably still need something more toxic and aggressive to get to the source, but this is wonderful in kitchens or near your bed (anywhere you don’t feel safe using the toxic stuff). It also is great supplementing a toxic thing or repellent - repelling if you don’t have an issue (preventative). Don’t spray this directly on delicate white/light colored fabric I used too much on an off white sweater and am still trying to get the stain out, but it seems safe on most things including white walls, most fabrics, all hard surfaces I have tried. Only had one item get stained which was delicate and off white and I sprayed it heavily. UPDATE: I still love the product, but either we got a bottle with a defective cap or their caps just don’t work well. I had only used a little bit to refill a smaller bottle and closed it tightly with the supposedly resealable cap. However, it must have been defective or just not worked well because unbeknownst to us at the time, it got knocked over and slowly (over 1 night) leaked out all over the floor. Good news: we won’t have bugs in that one spot, and didn’t seem to damage the floor at all.. Bad news: most of the $99 bottle was waisted, feels like pouring money down the drain. I am debating buying more because we really do like the stuff but if the larger bottle isn’t really resealable and we need to be careful about never storing it on it's side or knocking it over it has become a stress to store and the smaller bottles are pricey per each. I tried tightening the lid after the fact to see if it was user error and it feels tight but still leaks. It is one of those childproof caps so they can be tricky but the leak was a pretty big flaw. I would have asked the company for a replacement with hopefully better cap but because my return window closed I can’t find a way to contact the seller via Amazon. :-/ MOTHS Advice: If you have moths try to find the source and get rid of, wash and dry fabrics at high heat or freeze (for 3 days at least) everything from that area and use toxic stuff that will kill full lifecycle to clean that closet or spot once everything is removed. Use this product on any moths you see escaping or anywhere else in the house you don’t see moths much at all. In future use airtight bins for any wool, silk, or leather (animal based fibers) they will only eat cotton or synthetics if they are dirty or dusty or to escape from somewhere they aren’t attracted to non animal fibers unless they are dirty or dusty. So if you aren’t actively wearing clothing (off season cloths or dressier cloths and shoes you don’t wear often) store in airtight bins don’t recommend vacuum bags as they can damage clothing and can get musty. Also make sure everything has be freshly cleaned (on high heat or non natural dry cleaning) or frozen before storage (like shoes that can’t go in the washing machine must be frozen for 3 days or longer prior to storage). We fully got rid of our moths without a professional but it was a huge hassle. Using this product with others. ANTS Advice: If you have a real ant issue, get something that will go back to the nest and kill them, and then prevent them from coming back in the house. Usually a bate they bring back to nest that kills plus a monthly or quarterly treatment around the whole edge of house or apartment. Use this product inside the house on any you see and especially around food or bed anywhere the professionals won’t spray as this is non toxic.

Reduced the fleas in my cats automatic litter box, but the smell is way too strong I think one spray is enough
