Summary of reviews
The product is effective in killing and deterring various insects such as ants, spiders, and roaches. Guests appreciate its pet-safe formula and the fact that it doesn't contain harsh chemicals. However, many have noted a strong, lingering smell and an oily residue that can be difficult to clean. Despite these drawbacks, it is considered a reliable option for pest control.

I thought that since it is supposed to be safe around people that it wouldn't smell bad. It has a strong odor like Raid. It is oily and does not dry. You'll have to mop it up. It only killed the ants that I sprayed it on. The next morning, not only did I have a smelly, oily mess, but there were more ants walking around the poison.

We're so sorry this can of STEM Ants, Roaches & Spiders missed the mark. These products tend to be oily and more fragrant because they are made with essential oils. Due to this, we don't recommend using them on floors. The fragrance typically disappears within a few hours, but if sprayed heavily, it may last longer. Make sure to ventilate the space and wash any surfaces with warm, soapy water to quickly get rid of the smell and any oily residue. We value you and your honest feedback, and we would like the opportunity to make this right. Call us weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT at 877-869-7546. Share this reference number, 22608968, so we can help. We hope to hear from you soon! – Mindi, STEM Consumer Care

Used to kill ant infestation we have at home! I will say it’s better at killing them than deterring them. It does leave an oily film so keep that in mind when using. I know a lot of people are complaining about the smell, but honestly I’ve used a lot of other natural bug killer and this one is not as strong. Is it the most pleasant smelling? No but it will go away in a few hours.
Disgusting odor not worthit even if pet safe

Ok, it kills ants on contact but it has the most god awful odor that just lingers in the air. Will try to return and if I can’t, this will be an outside only spray.

We're very sorry to hear about your experience with our STEM Ant, Roach, & Spider and thank you for leaving your review. As STEM products are made with essential oils it may leave a stronger aroma behind. We recommend ventilating and cleaning hard surfaces with soapy water.

I had an ant infestation in my dining room and this product took care of it in one application! Subtracted one star because it does leave an oily film that can be slippery. Still, I'm really pleased that I was able to take care of the ant problem with no chemicals.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out. Because STEM Ants, Roaches & Spiders is made up of essential oils, this spray has a stronger aroma. After use, the fragrance typically fades away within a few hours; if sprayed heavily it may last longer. To quickly eliminate the scent be sure to ventilate the area and clean surfaces with warm, soapy water.

We're so sorry to hear STEM® Ant, Roach & Spider didn't perform as we'd expect it to! As long as you are spraying the roaches directly, it should kill them instantly.

Yall!!! If you are at WAR with the German roaches like I am… this product is indeed for you. I have NEVER seen them die on demand like I did with 1 squirt of this stuff. I picked up around 6 cans just to have around. (Bug problem in the car) Spray it everywhere. Inside your headliner. Inside your trunk. EVERYWHERE!! It’ll do the job.

We're so sorry to hear the STEM® Ants, Roaches, & Spiders Spray didn't perform as we'd expect it to!

Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about your experience with our STEM Ants, Roaches & Flies. As this is made with essential oils, it tends to leave a stronger fragrance. We recommend opening windows and doors to ventilate smell until it has dissipated. Additionally, this is a contact killer only and once the product dries, it no longer has any killing effect.

Its summertime out here in Arizona and ants are attacking in swarms like Wu tang killer bees. I've made homemade remedies that have worked in the past but the ants have evolved. STEM is a wonderful product

I started having a cockroach problem after I bought a used floor shampooer. I tried, Bug Md. And other spray products. I have dogs, cats and parrots so I researched a product that would not be harmful to them. I decided to try Stem, and I'm ever so glad I did. This stuff is amazing. The odor is tolerable, my problem is disappearing, and the best thing is that it's safe around my pets. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with the same issues. Thank you, Stem.

Bought this to treat some ants I have been seeing in a half bath and back entry way. Sprayed away about 18 inches, and ripped off the access. Leaves a very slick oily residue on the surface. After about an hour of cleaning it up, my paint on the base boards is starting to peel.

I saw a spider and could not kill it before it disappeared. I immediately started dusting , sweeping, mopping open windows for ventilation then went to go buy a spider bug spray. I got the crevices , under my bed, behind dressers. I'm hoping the spider crawled out because I still have not found it but feel safe to go to bed and not get bitten.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear our STEM Ants, Roaches, & Spiders didn't kill on contact like we'd expect.

AM - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
The spray is effective for killing/deterring bugs, but at a cost. The smell is extremely potent. I sprayed the perimeter of two small rooms in my apt and 12+ hours later, it still reeks. I wiped off the excess spray with a wet rag as directed, opened a window and turned on a fan— this barely made a difference. Most importantly, this spray claims to be “non-toxic” for pets, but both of my cats had a strong reaction. No life threatening symptoms, but they each had a couple of coughing fits and one had a bout of sneezing. If you have pets, and especially cats, I would not recommend this product. Think I will stick to my spray bottle of diluted soap! Would rather have to squash a roach than deal with a sick fur baby.
