I have a terrible problem with cave crickets coming through my basement pantry door.. Will this product help prevent this?

Yes I think it can stop the crickets from coming in, make sure to set it low so that it bends in contact with the floor to more area seal.

I am not sure what cave crickets are but if installed properly it makes a pretty good seal while the door is closed. So it should keep out smaller insects.

These strips come in one length and one has to cut them to fit the length of the door. One can make them sit as low on the door and close to the floor are one wants to. They have an adhesive strip, but I strengthened them by stapling them onto the door. I put one on the inside and one on the outside. I am not familiar with how big or small cave crickets are, but I think that these strips should keep them out, if you put them on so that they touch the floor. They are pretty thick and stiff; a cricket could not get through them. I think you should try one on the outside and one on the inside of the door. They are pretty inexpensive, so even if they do not work, you have little to lose. I would give them a try; I think they would work.

I can't honestly tell you if this is effective for spiders. However, my daughter has used the oil diluted in water, (you should be able to smell the peppermint) and sprayed around perimeter of home for ants. It actually kept them away from that area. I think the scent is what keeps them away. Check out theprairiehomestead.com for home made bug repellents. Sorry I couldn't be of further help.

I'm afraid I don't know. I bought this specific for the pantry moth which invaded our home via bird seed. I took some time to research on Google to discover which moth was the culprit. Good Luck!

Absolutely not. These critters don't live in the walls of your house, near the frequencies emitted by the device along the wires. Nor will they affect critters in your crawl space if you have one, away from wiring, or spiders up on the outside of the walls/ceilings. But they've kept the bugs out of my house for 16+ years, and I haven't had to spray.

I have never tried the product for preventing squash borers. However I would expect it to be a useful deterrent given the basic premise for using the product to begin with and that is the jagged edges of the diatoms are intended to cut insects as they pass through the product. The product is inert so it will have no impact on your fertilizer.

I do not know, I bought it for my daughter for use against mosquitoes in the baby's crib. I don't think it would help with spiders. My grandmother used to put a bowl of water around anything to keep ants out. Good luck. most spiders are not dangerous and enjoydank, dark places and eat other insects.

I do believe that it would. I was having a problem with my basement having a really bad musty smell. When I put them in my basement, the smell went away. Hope they work for you as well. Thanks...

I have put the gel bait in my pantry that has my canned foods or foods that are sealed. So like my sugar, flour, meal etc. I have put them all in a Ziploc bag and placed the gel in hinges of the cabinet doors. The gel should not be near open food or surfaces where food is prepared. The product goes no where near knives, forks, spoons, and such. I'm a bit paranoid, but I don't want these boogers eating the bait, and then running across my spoons or something in my cutlery draw. You can place the gel in cracks and crevices along the wall or cabinet, crawl spaces, or cracks in the floor. This is directly from the packaging, "Do not apply ADVION gel bait to areas where food/feed, food utensils or food processing surfaces may come into contact and become contaminated." Hope this helps!

Sorry, can't help you. Bought the Mole-Zap for a friend who has only used it for his mole problems. Sometimes it is best to consult a professional. Many of the pest control companies are using methods that are not harmful to the environment.

We just poured some powder along the corners of the walls. Any crevices should be covered. But the product does not work. We even poured some powder directly onto one of the roaches and trap it in a jar...nothing happened...If we did not used the product properly, then I took back what I reviewed. But we have moved out from that apartment, we just hope anyone in trouble can get rid of roach problem as soon as possible.

the GE powder smothers them, you must continue to use it as directed. It takes weeks to get rid if them. I also bought the mattress and box spring zippered covers and used bed bug cup traps, to put the legs of the bed in the cups filled with the GE powder. the bug sprays only make them run to other areas of the house. I also used the 91% alcocol that I bought at walmart and put in a spray bottle. this will kill them on direct contact. It took me almost 5 weeks to get rid of them. I also vacuumed the rugs in the infested room daily.

I'm quite familiar with those nasty looking insects, grew up in Wisconsin but recently moved to Texas, basements are rare here, I would say yes, I've used them for the past ten years and its able to trap the small little geckos that are nuisance here.

I am not certain about this product....I brought it for outside and inside overall protection from everything....Now we have two rental properties on either side of us and it seems as soon as one is vacant the roaches come to our house. So in the past I have used Bengal products... http://www.bengal.com/ this works immediately and kills off roaches as well as makes them not able to breed....I have found this product at the local hardware stores. I've used the foggers and the can spray....it works. But the demon seems to work on everything else it might work on roaches but I just alway use the bengal cause I know it works.

I have used this spray for a very good effect on most all of the typical bugs and insects around a sub-urban house in western washington area. I am not sure about their specific impact on cave crickets though as I don't have them in my area, thankfully!

This is the most effective product I have ever used. I`m not sure of the physiology of the various species of roaches, 'cause they're all nasty to me, but after using the product in Florida for the giant super roaches we have down here, it was great. I have no roaches in my house or garage even during the past rainy season when they seem to be at their most active. I would simply use the product or if you think it makes a difference, contact the manufacturer directly.

I only had one and its ben a month since I sprayed. A combination of spray and traps should help.

I don't think the holes would stop bugs... But a bat won't be able to (or want to) go thru the holes. Take a look at the picture - the roll is about 4 or 5 inches wide, the mesh is like a kitchen scrubby pad. The idea is that critters don't like to touch/taste this stuff - that's what keeps them out. In use, you stuff wads of this stuff in the hole(s) that critters are using as entry points - after which, the critters will be strongly discouraged.
