        Since the product states "for cockroaches on non-porous surfaces", will it work when sprayed on outside dirt and grass?
        BySep 8, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hello. Our Spectracide Bug Stop Home Barrier will not work if sprayed on outside dirt and grass, for the soil will absorb the product making it less effective. The product should strictly be used on non-porous surfaces. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us at 1-800-332-5553 or email youropinioncounts@spectrumbrands.com and reference case# 02097914.

                  The product is cheap and affordable but works on certain bugs not the main ones listed on the product. It’s not as effective as the claim. However, I like the spray handle.

                  I was having a huge spider & web problem around the soffits and fascia areas of my home. I went out of town or a weekend and they were everywhere. I put the spectracide in a pump sprayer and sprayed the perimeter of my home to kill the spiders, then followed by removing the webs. I went back out of town the next day and noticed no spiders had rebuilt in those areas in 5 days. It was very effective. My only mistake was not wearing a mask.

                  Does not create a barrier, will daily see new bugs, It does kill on contact but daily spray must be done. I had 1/4 of a bottle left and I found bugs living in it!

                    Past and Persent
                    I bought it last week. I tested spraying it at outdoor early nights without sunny. In the morning I caught the insects. It is not same before.

                      Arachnophobia Became Real
                      “Kills on contact.” Lies! Kills by drowning. I bought this product to kill several different species of spiders that have taken up residence under the patio of a house I just moved into. As I sprayed the spiders, the Daddy Longlegs treated it like a shower. The larger scarier spiders that remind me of everything scary about the movie Arachnophobia started spinning web, I felt attacked. I literally had to drown them with the Spectracide Bug Stop! In all honesty, Hot Shot Ant, Roach, and Spider Killer did a significantly better job at killing these spiders on contact. I don’t know how well the Spectracide Bug Stop will do at creating a barrier, but I have little doubt in its ability if it can’t kill on contact! I bought this specific brand because of the Accushot spray. It was great for accuracy while keeping a small distance. It was not 100% reliable, but provided a better option than a spray can.

                        Tons of mosquititos were waiting on the porch door wall to enter house. I sprayed Spectricide to the wall then next day floor was full of dead mosquitos. After a week it still kills masquitios whwnever they landed the sprayed area.

                        JUNK - product and delivery system- Blocks NOTHING
                        How useless is this product? Just look at the pic included. Products -useless as any kind of "barrier" against anything for more than a day or two. Will kill on contact if you are looking to kill bugs 1 at a time. But as a "barrier" I am finding it completely useless. Spray mechanism on both the large 1 gallon as well as the 32 Oz bottles. are of EXTREMELY poor quality and only rarely works. As a "Barrier"? Look at the pic near the trigger.

                          I’ve been using Spectracide products for 3 years now after I decided a professional bug service was way too much. I use the liquid spray along with the termite bait stations and save over $500 a year! Well worth the time and effort and have no bug issues in my caged lanai and outdoor pool area.

                          The gun makes noise but it doesn't pump fluid. Waste of effort and time. Just get a pump sprayer
