Nisus NiBan-FG Fine Granular Bait, Indoor & Outdoor Moisture-Resistant Bait with Orthoboric Acid, for Ants, Cockroaches, Crickets, Silverfish & Earwigs, 1 lb

Upon renovating my house and pulling back the baseboards in a room I discovered a disgusting amount of debris that worried me that I had cockroaches. I called out two different exterminators that both stated it was cricket debris and that there was likely an infestation within the walls. I agreed to the contractors work. He sent over a contract that didn't make sense so I spent three days trying to get a hold of him for clarification all while delaying my remodeling. Getting tired of getting ghosted I went on Reddit and did some research and this product was raved about with another. I bought both products and applied them into the walls in various opening around right outside the house in the affected areas. I am not lying when I say this stuff is amazing!! I used to hear the crickets super loud in the room and thought we had crap walls but over the three days since I applied it only three came out of the walls... Made it into the empty room.. and died on their own! It's been more time now and not only have I not seen any anywhere but I also don't hear anything in the walls!! I'm super happy with this product and the other finer dust product I used. Idk why the listing says clear though my bait was not clear? It was yellowish.

Niban 10387 Nisus Fine Granular Bait #1, Clear is a useful ant bait and one which I hope works. It's always hard to gauge if an ant bait product is working, you have to wait quite a while to see if ants disappear from view and even then, they still might be in the walls, foundation, etc. So, I will give this a few weeks, and if I don't see any super tiny, minuscule ants walking across my computer screen, I will consider the problem solved. By the way, the product is simple to use, has a very fine granular size, and has no odor which is a plus. It comes in a simple-to-use dispenser that blows the product into tight spaces, crevices, etc. Recommend.

So-far....RESULTS GOOD. Bought this for a camel cricket infestation, but I also sprinkled some around the ant hills in my backyard. I don't know about the crickets yet, but within minutes...and this was unexpected...there was massive activity around the ant hills. I could see many of the ants carrying individual bait granules. I've put out ant bait before, but I've never seen the ants go after anything like they're going after this stuff. To that other reviewer complaining about the applicator being useless...You need a bigger opening. I cut off the top eighth of an inch with a scissor and it worked fine after that.UPDATE: 24 hours later and very little activity around the ant hills. The colonies have obviously been impacted but there's still some activity. I also noticed that thus stuff is killing a bunch of slugs. Unhappily, a camel cricket showed up in the bathroom last night. I hoping this sucker was already in the walls when I applied the first application yesterday. I refreshed the application around the ant hills and around the suspected cricket entry point...we'll see.UPDATE: It's been 5 weeks since I first started applying the Niban. It appears to have greatly diminished the critter activity in and around the house. I'm in NY and it seems that I have three species of ants on my property. I have the big black Carpenter ants, as well as little black ants, and little brown or reddish ants. There are no more black ants. And as a side bonus, the slugs love this stuff...they're all dead too. The little brown ants still persist in smaller numbers. I'm wondering what species they are. I'm a little disappointed with the results with my Camel crickets. They're coming into the house much less frequently, but they're still coming in. Perhaps I'm not applying the product in all the right places?

I can’t really determine how well this worked. I was having problems with bugs getting into my apartment and with crickets driving me crazy on my front porch. I dropped this around the perimeter of my porch area and I did notice a reduction in bugs around my porch. It doesn’t hold up in rain though, and has to be put down again. I still had crickets annoying me, but at least none were coming up to my door anymore.

The particles wouldn't come out of the hole unless I forced air through it - then they would spray out with air. It didn't come out in a flow that would have been easier to use. I just took the tip off of it and poured it that way. So, it initially killed the small ants taking over my plants, but. new bigger ants came and they don't seem to be bothered. by this stuff.

Camel Crickets - I had these horrible things that were living in the crawl space under the house and would come into the house whenever they got bored. I had tried the sticky traps, which did catch some but they still kept coming. I also bought some very strong bug spray, which I put down at the same time as this in different areas of the house so as to not scare them away from eating the bait, but I doubt that it had much effect given that the live bugs I sprayed it on seemed to think it was a shower. This stuff, I put in an area that I knew the crickets were and where they were coming into the house from, though I could not find the exact point of entry. A week later I have not seen any in the house, at least not alive. For that reason, I am giving this product the credit. The camel crickets at the house were very resiliant. They were alive all winter under the house, even when I thought they would hibernate or something. Given that snow and flooding did not stop them, I was beginning to think that they were some type of super bug that just liked to leave little poops all over the walls as a joke. The more I read about them, the more nervous they made me since they apparently will eat anything when they are hungry, some types will even eat themselves. I bought this stuff and, probably a little more liberally than I needed to, put the bait in the known infestation area. So far so good. If this changes, I will update the review.
