This is by far the best. These little pesky bugs lay eggs and were none stop last year. I hope to change that this year. I am also using a systemic bead at the base of all the trees to hopefully have better control next year.

Was hesitant at first, we live in an old farm house and always have an issue with the bugs. At first I thought it didn’t work, after spraying they still kept coming. Few days after they were starting to die, about a week or two we haven’t had any come back. It does have a stronger smell

4.0 out of 5 stars Spray pattern needs work

Just sprayed so too soon to tell if it works. The spray pattern is a single stream and not a mist or spray. Tough to cover a large area with the spray pattern.

Finally found something to get rid of those infesting box elder bugs. Have had infestations for the past 2 summers, all over the outside of the house and coming in through the windows. This stuff works great! I sprayed at the beginning of the spring season-right when it started to stay warm during the day. Sprayed the perimeter of the foundation as well as up in the siding and around the windows. Only saw 1 box Elder bug a month later!

Worked very well. Our lady bugs were gone within a few days.

3.0 out of 5 stars Won't spray

N.B. · December 16, 2024

I have no idea if this stuff is effective because I can't get it to spray at all. I followed the instructions with their included sprayer and cranked on the spray handle for 10 minutes as quick as I could without any success. Figured maybe the sprayer tube is too long or the thing is just junk. So I poured the stuff into a genetic spray bottle which I know sprays fine and the stuff still wouldn't spray. The liquid is viscous like syrup and you can see it going nowhere in the tube when squeeze the trigger. I'll try finding a sprayer that actually works, but for now I can't recommend this product purely because of the hassle of trying to use it and the extra expense from buying a usable sprayer. I bought this stuff for perimeter control for boxelder bugs, so if I can get a working sprayer and verify that this will keep the bugs from getting in, I'll update my review to reflect it's usefulness.Edit: finally got the sprayer to work, not sure what I did different this time. Sprayed around every window and door in my house. Boxelder bugs are still getting in but they seem to be dying when they do which is better than having them crawling on my bed in the morning.

Asian Beetles and Boxelder Bugs present a constant challenge in keeping them under control and both are extremely difficult to kill. Having tried several brands of insecticides, Harris Beetle spray is the one product that actually works and works well. One application when the bugs first appear generally does the trick but if infestation is heavy a second application may be necessary. A Fall application will help reduce heavy infestations the following Spring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifesaver

S.B. · April 26, 2025

This product was a lifesaver for me! I get box elder bugs in my apartment building every spring & have tried everything! Nothing worked so I decided to give this a shot after reading reviews. I couldn't believe how well it worked! It did take a day or so after applying it before I saw results but what a difference! I especially liked that it was safe for pets as long as you let it dry first. I'm so glad I bought the large bottle because I will definitely be using this every year!
