Summary of reviews
The product is effective in killing ants, spiders, and roaches on contact and is safe to use around pets and children. However, it has a strong, lingering smell and leaves an oily residue that can be difficult to clean. Some guests experienced issues with the spray bottle malfunctioning. Despite these drawbacks, many guests appreciate its natural ingredients and effectiveness.

Lilypad222 - 5 months ago
Although this does work at killing pests, it has a very strong smell. Once sprayed, even a little bit, it fills up your home with the strong smell and it lasts for days. Effective but with a downside.
1 reply from stem Team team - 5 months ago
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. As this is formulated with essential oils, this spray may have a stronger odor. Usually the smell dissipates within a few hours but it may take longer if sprayed heavily. Make sure to ventilate the area and wipe up excess product with warm, soapy water to get rid of the smell quicker. So we can best assist you, give us a call at 877-869-7546 on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT. Your reference number is 22688916. We hope to chat soon! – Brooklyn, STEM Consumer Care

This did not help with killing spiders, it essentially only made them wet and slowed them down for me to kill them. Would not recommend.

The Most Horrible Smelling Bug Spray

Brett - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
I typically buy EcoSmart products at Target, or I did - apparently they don't carry that brand anymore. So, after my kitchen was marched upon by ants - and realizing I was running low on the EcoSmart - I bought this product. I sprayed a small amount last night (about 12 hours ago) and the horrible scent of this product is still lingering. This after I tried to clean the area I sprayed, after I've had the window in the kitchen open, and after I've been running the exhaust fan non-stop for hours. I'll never buy this product again, even it it is effective in deterring ants. The smell is beyond horrible!!!

DOES NOT WORK IN SPIDERS.

Mik949 - 9 months ago
IF YOU HAVE SPIDERS, DOES NOT WORK! I sprayed it directly on a spider who decided to make a web right in front of my door. I sprayed that spider 3-4 times and all it did was make the spider walk around then it continued to sit on its web. I had to get a broom to break the web and the spider ran into the bushes. Waste of money. Purchased, because it’s safe for pets. It smells just like mosquito repellent. I’m going to have to buy the toxic brand raid. I can’t keep walking into spider webs with spiders in them and scream loud waking up my neighbors.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I'm sorry to hear that STEM Ants, Roaches & Spiders bug fighting formula didn't help with the spiders outside your front door like we would expect. As long as you are spraying the spiders directly, it should kill them instantly. Know that I have passed this feedback along to my team, as we want to provide you with nothing but the best products. We'd love the chance to further help. Please give us a call weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT at 877-869-7546 and provide this reference number: 22566364.

I really didn't want to buy any sprays cause I have a dog and in the past the hazardous sprays are useless in keeping bugs out. But this stuff worked instantly. I sprayed countertops, any cracks and spots I've been seeing ants. Right away the would get stuck in it and not move. The only down side for me is its very greasy causes of the oils and shows on surfaces but wipes away easy. Also the price for what you get can be a better value, I'm sure it won't last long.
Greasy!

1 reply from stem Team team - 9 months ago
Thanks for reaching out! While STEM products are made with essential oils, they can leave a greasy residue. Washing with warm water and soap should remove any residue. As this seems to not be the case here, we'd like the chance to help. Call us any weekday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT at 1-800-558-5252 and provide this reference number: 22547770.

Erin - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
Took a significant amount of spray to kill the smallest of spiders, and then did not kill larger spiders. I live in a third floor apartment and attempted to kill spiders living in my windows. I sprayed through the screen towards the outside and the smell of the spray will not go away, even after wiping down the area, having a fan and windows open, etc. The smell isn’t a toxic smell, but it is definitely noticeable.
1 reply from stem Team team - 9 months ago
Thank you for your review, Erin. We'd expect any residual product to wipe away with warm soapy water and for any odor to dissipate once ventilated. We're sorry to hear this wasn't the case. We'd appreciate the chance to discuss this further. When you have a moment, reach us at 877-869-7546 and mention this reference number: 22541985.

SMELL IS TOXIC
1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Heather - 10 months ago
I bought this because it was advertised and safe around kids, animals and for indoor and outdoor use. NO.. This is not safe around anyone or indoors. The smell is so overwhelming. We sprayed one room and it smells toxic. The smell has lingered for over 12 hours now. It has spread into others rooms. We could not even sleep downstairs in our bedrooms. I ran two air purifiers for 12 hours and the smell is not gone. I would never recommend this product.
1 reply from stem Team team - 10 months ago
We're sorry to hear this, Heather! Since STEM® products contain essential oils, we do advise wiping right away after spraying pests because their aroma tends to be stronger. Despite this, the scent usually wears off after a few hours; if sprayed heavily, it could last longer. Continue ventilating the area to make sure it's eliminated. Please call us at 877-869-7546 (M-F, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT) if we may be of additional assistance and provide the following reference number: 22521801. We look forward to hearing from you! – Mindi, STEM Consumer Care

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. Rest assured, we'd like the chance to make this right. Please give us a call at 877-869-7546 (weekdays, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 22503115.

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
This is the most incredible 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. For certain spiders, we would have to recommend another product as this is best formulated for cellar spiders. Don't you worry though, we'd love to find a product that best suits your needs.

I use this product for spiders and ants in my home. We stay in a very woody area so sometimes these little creepy crawlers will get in. I sprayed it and the ants went away and the spiders came crawling out very slowly with one more spray they were dead. I have used other products that you have to keep using over and over but thos one works great. I feel like the smell is very pleasant. It is a little oily but I havent had any problems with cleaning it up. Definitely will buy again.
We will always use this product for bugs in our home.

It's been raining a lot. Some kind of small bug (not ants, roaches or flies) we've never seen before, started appearing on our master bathroom floor three days ago. I bought your STEM Ant, roach, fly, product yesterday and sprayed around the baseboard and it worked fabulously! No more bugs yesterday or today! I am very pleased with your product. My adult daughter has purchased the product now for her home.

We moved into a new house and before moving in we had to clean it. It was infested with roaches we have literally tried everything from bait to bug sprays to bombs nothing worked till one day I saw this and I told my husband about it and that it's non toxic to pets due to use having pets that was very important. Well ever since we have been using this product we have almost killed them off completely just using this product alone no exterminator just stem and I will continue to buy this and use this. This stuff really works and is worth every dime and penny it cost!
