Review: Great quality, works very well, stops insect pests in my coup - Quite expensive to buy but lasts a long time so quite good value I think and prevents any insect pests in my chicken coup
Review: First Saturday Lime has worked incredibly well for us, especially in our chicken coop. We use it monthly to keep the coop fresh, dry, and bug-free, and it truly makes a noticeable difference. It’s easy to spread, settles quickly, and doesn’t have a strong smell, which I appreciate when using it around the animals. Since we started applying it regularly, we’ve had far fewer flies and practically no ants or other pests lingering around the coop. I also like that it feels like a safer option compared to harsher chemicals, especially with pets and kids around. Overall, it’s simple, effective, and has become a must-have for maintaining a clean, comfortable coop. Highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this control mosquitos that swarm me when I am on my deck drinking cold beer?**
A: Maybe if you roll in it????  I bought it for my chicken's dust bath and that keeps them bug free.....either way if you drink enough tasty cold beers you won't feel the mosquitos so that's a plus....also I recommend chickens either way.  They keep you entertained while drinking or not, may eat your mosquitos and provide breakfast if you're hungover or not...so it's a win all round!

**Q: In houston we have large ant beds due to "fire ants". does your product kill fire ants?**
A: diatomaceous earth will kill ants. I had any hills in my yard, I just throw a hand full on it and in two days they are gone. I also use it on my firewood when I find ants. Iy stops being effective if it gets wet. I also use it in my Chicken coops under the wood shavings to kill mites and any bug that may wonder in.
It is not a poison, it is made up of microscopic sea shells that are ground up to make a fine power.

**Q: Will it kill german roaches that are outside?**
A: By concept and makeup, lime should kill all bugs that come in contact with it.  Now we all know that roaches are certainly the most difficult of all bugs to kill...I mean even folklore has them living through nuclear explosions. With that said, I have sprinkled this around my coop for almost 2 years (in Florida, the roach paradise) and have NEVER seen a cockroach inside their run or coop.  I don't use any other bug killer.

**Q: Does it repel toads? My dog got poisoned from 1 and almost killed her. Not looking to ever see another toad in my yard again..**
A: In retrospect, yes. If you're repelling insects, you will naturally have less animals that eat those insects, i.e toads. Animals don't live where there isn't any food.

The Insect Deterrent 20LB Bag markets itself as a monthly insect shield, promising multi-purpose insect control for outdoor spaces, with a focus on preventing ants and other common insects. After using this product, here are my observations. One of the most appealing aspects of this product is its claim of being a multi-purpose solution. The idea of using a single product to deter a variety of insects is certainly attractive, especially for those of us who prefer a simple approach to pest control. In practice, I found that the deterrent was indeed effective against ants, which were noticeably less prevalent in the treated areas. However, its efficacy against other insects seemed to vary. While it did offer some reduction in the presence of flies and mosquitoes, the effect was not as pronounced as with ants. This suggests that the product may be more effective against certain types of insects than others, and users should have realistic expectations about its broad-spectrum capabilities. The monthly application is another key selling point. The convenience of applying the deterrent just once a month is a significant advantage over products that require more frequent applications. This feature is particularly beneficial for busy individuals who may not have the time or inclination to engage in constant pest control efforts. In my experience, the monthly application schedule was generally sufficient to maintain a reasonable level of insect control, although I did find that heavy rainfall could diminish its effectiveness, requiring a reapplication to maintain the desired level of protection. In summary, the Insect Deterrent 20LB Bag offers a convenient and effective solution for controlling ants and provides some level of deterrence against other common insects. Its multi-purpose nature and monthly application schedule make it a practical choice for homeowners looking to simplify their outdoor pest control efforts. However, users should be aware that its effectiveness may vary depending on the type of insect and environmental conditions, and should adjust their expectations accordingly. Overall, it’s a solid product that delivers on its core promises, but with some nuances to consider.
