The Fragrance from Plant Oils

The fragrance comes from the natural plant oils used in the ingredients, which are inherently fragrant. The fragrance generally dissipates shortly after product use. However, the "longevity" of the fragrance is a function of several factors, including: how much product was used, where the product was used, if the product was applied to any absorbent surfaces (e.g., carpet, upholstery, etc.), the relative humidity in the area sprayed, the amount of air circulation in the area sprayed, etc. If you find that the fragrance is too strong and/or lingers too long, there are several things you can do to minimize it (Click Here).

The More Plant Oils the Better

Our research and testing have shown that various plant oils work better on certain groups of insects. We wanted our Maggie’s Farm Ant & Roach Killer to be effective on a wide variety of crawling insects, not just ants and roaches, so we utilize several plant oils as the active ingredient for that reason. Additionally, we have found the combination of certain plant oils in specific ratios provides a “synergistic effect” that enhances the overall efficacy of the product.

About the Inert Ingredients Polyglycerol oleate, butyl lactate, and triethyl citrate
These ingredients are used as emulsifiers to help the oil and water in the formula mix together well when the can is shaken to get an even, uniform mixture that is needed for product performance. Without these ingredients, the oil and water would remain separated (oil floats, water sinks), which compromises the effectiveness of the product. These ingredients are on the US EPA Minimum Risk Pesticide Program approved list of ingredients. Maggie’s Farm Ant & Roach Killer is classified by the US EPA as a minimum-risk pesticide (see link: www.epa.gov/minimum-risk-pesticides).
Controlling Ants with Ant & Roach Killer Aerosol
Trying to control ants in your home can be a challenge if you do not have the right ant spray. Our formula works best if you can apply the ant spray to the entry points, around the perimeter of the home and also directly on the ants and their trails. To help with killing existing ants in your home, we recommend using our ant bait gel to get rid of the source of the ant problem, the colony.
The Residual Protection

Ant & Roach Killer is designed to kill fast. The repellency of our plant oils will also help to keep insects away for a short period of time after applying. We have seen residual effectiveness with Ant & Roach Killer in the laboratory for two weeks.

How to Prevent Indoor Pest Problems

Because the Maggie’s Farm plant essential oil-based products provide residual repellency protection, they are ideal for use to help prevent pest problems. Apply the Ant & Roach Killer aerosol in and around all potential insect entry points around the exterior of your house (i.e. cracks/gaps around windows, door frames, utility lines/pipes, vents/weep holes, foundation cracks, under siding, etc.). Reapply every few weeks or as needed.

No Oily Residue

Our indoor spray products are water-based, not oil-based sprays, so they do not leave behind a messy oily residue that must be wiped up after spraying. Our water-based sprays will not cause hard floor surfaces like hardwood and tile floors to become slippery like an oil-based spray. Oil-based sprays can also cause staining issues on soft surfaces like fabrics, upholstery, rugs, carpet, and leather.

Do Not Use on Plants or Pets

Ant & Roach Killer is not labeled for use on plants or pets.
