I started using this 6 weeks ago to rid my balcony of spiders and am pleasantly surprised by the results. It reliably kills on contact and truly seems to deter them, though not immediately. For the first couple weeks, I had to douse the area liberally each time I wished to enjoy a spiderless balcony, but they gradually appeared less frequently after that. Nowadays, I only lightly spray the perimeter a few times a week, and that may not even be strictly necessary. After seeing several big and scary specimens a day for years, I haven't seen one in weeks, and I intend to keep it that way.
I do wish the stream was a bit more concentrated so that I could aim from farther away, but this stuff isn't a pain to use up close like similar products I've tried. It doesn't produce much blowback unless it's very windy, and the odor isn't super toxic. In fact, it smells more like a cleaning agent than a bug spray, and the scent doesn't linger long either. I briefly leave the area after use just to be safe and have never encountered issues or side effects.
I can't say that it lasts as long as claimed since I've continued spraying sporadically for peace of mind, but I'm satisfied with the current state of things. I haven't even had to repurchase yet since the first bottle is still going strong. This is the least expensive yet most effective option I've tried, so it's a great value in my view.
