I have been using this stuff for several months and it is a good product. After reading all the negative reviews I have to provide some input that might help others. I used to sell insecticides. This product's is pyrethrin based. Pyrethrins do not have any residual killing capability. Once the initial fog lays and dries out there is almost no killing effect from the spray. Most of these types of household bug killers will have some form of permectrin based ingredient. These permectrin based sprays have a residual effect and can kill for several weeks if the bug comes in contact with the residue. Look for Permethrin, tetramethrin, deltamethrin and Lamda Cyathlon if you want long term killing. If you just want to kill the bug that is in your kitchen and not worry about residue this is your spray. I have always liked these sprays that have only pyrethrins in them because they are safer. The big thing I see here is that people must think the bug will die instantly if they are sprayed by this stuff. Unfortunately bugs take several minutes to die if they are sprayed by a pyrethrin product. They generally start wiggling and walking around fast and then finally after several minutes they will die. Roaches will take a while but it will kill roaches. Just don't expect the bug to die instantly upon contact. There are not very many products on the market now that are striclty pyrethrin. Check your labels and you can develop a solid understanding of these products. Study the active ingredients. I hope this helps. Bman
