Amazingly effective. I use this for camel crickets in the basement, no crickets. I also used it around the outside of the house this year in the basement window wells instead of Bifin. Again, no crickets this year. Also shake it around the outside of the vacation house during dry spells in the summer for slugs and carpenter ants. Slugs have been reduced 80%. Ants I also have a regular and aggressive spray routine. All in all this is great for the basement bugs and a second layer of defense outdoors. I'm very happy with Niban.

We put this out a little more than two weeks ago and then left town for a few days and have not seen one live roach since. I have seen a few dead but hopefully they are dying in their nest. Before, even after repeated spraying by a pest professional I was seeing approx. two or three dead a day and then up to ten crawling around dying or even fully alive. So glad I found this product I can now sit in my backyard peacefully!

purchased it last year and saw a big difference in an ant infested house. Takes time but it really works good.

Had a nice little infestation of Camel Back crickets in the basement. Through down dome of the Niban, which was made easier with the convenient "shaker" canister. No more crickets. I would suggest going with the paper plate method suggested in the application instructions. I tossed it on the ground and it isn't the easiest to get up after being exposed to moisture. Other than that, it worked great. My better half is no longer attacked when doing laundry which means I'm no longer attacked after she does laundry for not taking care of the problem.

I sprinkled small amounts down outside wherever I saw ants and they were carrying it away almost immediately. I have seen alot less ants after a week, so it looks like pretty good stuff.

I already knew the product was good, My satisfaction and appreciation is for the fast service and delivery provided by DoMyOwn, which is paramount when you need to react to a problem quickly.

We have been overrun with silver fish, and nothing seemed to work. However, I bought this product - and also the little plastic "make your own traps ' - swept it into the wood floor and corners, then put the plastic bait traps we made in the most likely areas. We haven't seen a silverfish in 2 weeks. So, we are very happy. I chose this over another, similar, product that was a bit less expensive because it comes in a plastic container with a screw on lid. the difference in cost is more than made up for in ease of storing the bait safely. The other product only comes in a large bag, making it harder to keep it thoroughly closed and in good condition.

Great product. I would see 2-3 cave crickets whenever I would go to the basement. I put Niban on small paper plates as well as duct tape sticky side up on wood pieces. Within 2 weeks, I have not seen any around.

I purchased the product after reading other reviews on how quick the pesty ant problem I have, would disappear after 1 use. Not the case! At first it seemed to have worked, I put a some of the Niban in a corner in my pantry and watched the Ants take the Niban and bring it back to their "home". The Ants came out in droves for the Niban. The Ants seemed to have disappeared but than a couple of days later reapperaed. I put more Niban out, I'm not sure if its working the 2nd time around. Definetely fewer Ants but have to keep track and put more Niban out. I think the Ants figure out the NIban and than look for other food so you still have to make sure not to leave any food on counters or floors etc. I bought 2 containers but 1 4lb container can last you several yrs for sure. I would recommend to try it bec. it beats that roach spray that stinks.

The product works very well and lasts a long time. The only issue I have that caused me to take away a star is the fact that it's very visible and very messy. It's not very nice to look at with all the product spread around and if you step on it you bring it everywhere. With that being said, it does work very well and if you're using it in an area that has no foot traffic, then it's perfect.

never killed ONE CRICKET! I covered the areas - read instructions, maybe it kills Roaches but we have NONE here just these aggravating KRAZY Crickets that make noise all day and all night they never SHUT... this was over $40.00 - RIPPED OFF, they need to take the Crickets OFF THE lable, this is simply BORIC ACID - good for roaches, does not do a thing to CRICKETS

This is my fourth (4th) purchase in the last couple of years. I am a homeowner and cringe when a "professional" comes to do me a service! No more though...............I do it myself! I have been so pleased with your service and the prompt receipt of my order that I have began recommending your service to other friends of mine. Please keep up the good work - there's not many left like you anymore!!! JOHN in NC (on the ocean)

THIS PRODUCT IS MAGIC! Within one day ALL camel crickets disappeared!!!!! A life changer. I was petrified to go into my brand new renovated basement. Every time I would turn my back.....2-3 would appear. I installed a small dehumidifier even though the basement was not damp. I sprinkled around the house about 1 foot away from foundation. The next day not ONE! I will be using this forever! The sales agent at Do My Own had the patience of a saint with me. She was amazing in comforting me and offering this and other solutions. Hope everyone uses this product and company! Thank you!!

I've been using Niban for years, ever since an exterminator let me know what he used. This exterminator was known to use products that would work without having to spray or otherwise contaminate the house. This stuff does NOT hurt birds, geckos, etc. No smell, lasts and works. May take a week or so for the first application to work, but after that, it's really great. A roach occasionally still gets in the house but it is rare. Thank you to this store for good price and rapid, easy service. I used to have to look hard to find it locally and it cost more.

I have a variety of ants in my back yard. I thought it would be a good idea to use a bait, instead of spraying. So I used the Niban Granular Bait, after seeing the other reviews and thinking it would work. I spread the bait, exactly as it was said to do on the instructions, on and around the ant beds, hoping it would work. I came out, 24 hours later, and the ants were using the bait to build their mounds. I came back a week later, and there were more ant beds than when I started. Now, I have the remaining bait in my garage, and don't want to use it again. This stuff doesn't work.

I love this stuff! I've had a problem with cave crickets for the past two years now. I had an exterminator out last year and that was expensive! He bombed the house, which was an awful chemical mess. I had to clean and wash everything that I didn't remove from the house, since it could have killed my dog. He had to come back 29 days later because, as he said, "something hatched," and the warranty was only good for 30 days following the initial treatment. He then sprinkled some kind of granular stuff around the house. That seemed like something I could do myself, if yet something else hatched. But when I asked him if I could buy the stuff he was using, he told me it wasn't available to the general public. What a liar! This year, when the crickets returned, I found it on Amazon in, like, two seconds, which was how I hooked up with DoMyOwnPestControl.com. It is the exact same stuff the exterminator used. It worked very quickly, is relatively safe to use around my dog, and I haven't seen another cricket since. I bought the 4lb shaker, used it around the exterior perimeter and inside, in the hard to reach places where insects can usually get in, near plumbing/electrical/gas lines. In the end, the Niban with the free shipping was less than 1/4 the price of the exterminator's bill. I'll just keep using this from now on. Had the exterminator just told me what he was using, I would have had this on hand this year when the crickets came back, been able to deal with the problem immediately, and not a week after the first insect appeared, and would not feel distrust toward the entire industry of exterminators. I probably would have bought the stuff from him and continued to do so for years to come. Instead, I'll just stick with this web site. The shipping took a few days, but in the end, it was a lot less stressful and very easy to use. Next, I'm going to tackle the mosquitoes that have been ruining summer in my yard for the past few years.

I've been having a problem with cave crickets for the past three years. Cave crickets are very big, very aggressive insects that look like aliens. They walk, jump (usually right at me) and love dark spaces. If that's not enough, they are cannibal carnivores too. Prior to this invasion three years ago, I'd never heard of or seen them before. An expensive exterminator did not solve the cricket problem, though he did educate me about them. He used a "bomb" to get rid of them, which required a good deal of preparation ahead of time and cleaning after the fact. Within 29 days of treatment the crickets were back. The warranty was for 30 days. He did not bomb again, but sprinkled granules of something he said I couldn't buy anywhere myself. Whatever the stuff was, it worked. Instead of immediately calling the exterminator, I did a little research the second year, when the crickets returned. That's when I came across Niban. Surprise, surprise, it looked just like the granules the exterminator had used, and was the product that came up the most in my search results. I bought the Niban, treated the perimeter and possible entry points in my house and the crickets disappeared. This is the third year of the crickets and I kicked myself for not pre-treating at the end of summer. I could have prevented seeing the one that got in the house. They tend to pop up in early autumn, as the weather cools and dampens here in PA. I will not make that mistake again next year. I plan on keeping a supply of Niban on hand as long as I live in this house. It works with all kinds of insects, ants (which seem to have followed the crickets in), spiders, etc. I've noticed a difference in the weeks since I initially treated the exterior perimeter of the house. I haven't seen an ant, a cricket or anything else. I do re-apply after heavy winds and/or rain, but there's enough in the bottle to last me at least several months. Do My Own Pest Control is always fast and affordable. I plan on using them for any pest control needs I may have in the future.
