    A professional Review

    By M. on 12/13/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I worked in Commercial Pest control for many years. There are many good products on the market but I have chosen FenvaStar EcoCap as the product to treat my home. It's very flexible. For general maintenance I use 1 ounce per gallon. For the busier "bug season" I bump it to 2 ounces per gallon. It's encapsulated which means it's easier for the insect to get a lethal dose on him. It's so easy to treat your own home! Get a sprayer, gloves and eye protection and DO IT YOURSELF! Working for people like ORKIN pest control left a bad taste in my mouth for the pest control industry in general. They view customers as cattle with purses. Everything they use you can buy here and save a ton of money. This product works! It's in a small container so you'll be able to use it up before it goes bad. Read the label and DO IT YOURSELF! :-)

    Promising product!

    By Bughater on 10/23/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I purchased this item to get rid of bed bugs, I can not report on long term use, because I just used it yesterday but I can tell you it works and it works fast. It has no odor, I used it with gallon sprayer as recommended and I added Gentrol IGR into the mix, since this was my first time application I used 2 fluid ounce instead of 1 fluid ounce to prevent re infestation of bedbugs. After a mix , fluid is milky color but it dries clear without leaving any stains. By the time I ordered this product I am confident I had already eliminated at least all adult ones using a steam cleaner (almost everyday) for past six weeks, DE, 90% alcohol, Clorox, Bedlam Plus, and combination of Essential Oils in steamer such as Clove oil, Pepermint, Orange oil, Rosemary and Cedar oil. I put 10 drops of each to 32 ounce water, I than add 1 fluid ounce of this mixture to the water that I put in the steamer. Not only vapor alone kills the baby ones readily, the steam comes out dryer with more pressure force than when used water alone. I live in a condominium where the whole complex has bed bug problems, there for I have no choice but keep using products such as this one to prevent re- infestation. The reason I say this about a week ago while I was steam cleaning my carpets I lifted the clear plastic mat that was under the front entrance door, I discovered 5 adult dead bedbugs that got stuck between the carpet and the mat! I than realized they are coming just like everyone else, from the front door. After I sprayed along the base boards and cracks even the kitchen with FenvaStar, I sprayed front of my door and the hall way and front of neighbors door while no one was looking. About 20 minutes later when I walked in to my kitchen I saw 2 adult dead roach on the floor that I didn't even know that I had. The next day (which is today) my neighbors knocked on the door to show me the dead adult bedbugs that they found right along where I sprayed. So I can tell you this product works and I hope it will keep on working. From an experience one more thing I have to add, when you treat the infested area such as your mattress or couch, if you do not treat the carpet underneath at the same time, you are guaranteed to get re infestation, you have to steam it the way you steam your mattress and steam wash your whole carpet as soon as possible. The young bedbugs hide inside the carpet, you can't see them, but you will see them in your dirty water when cleaning your carpets. When washing clothes use Clorox and add cup of distilled vinegar to rinse water to kill all eggs, also add vinegar while steam cleaning carpets. Bed bugs are very psychologically draining, and depressing, I agree with most reviews on this site you have to use combination of products, I doubt if one product alone will get rid of them. This one works and reasonably priced!

    Updating: Promise delivered!

    By Nurten on 10/28/2012

    Verified Purchase

    Five days after the first application, I started wondering how come I can't even see just one bed bug, I know I have eliminated the adult ones but every evening I go around the infested part of the apartment with a magnifier glass and able to find the colorless little ones, before steaming them.(By the way not all colorless ones can be seen with a naked eye, they may appear as little as salt grain, but they move!) I had only used this product only along the base boards cracks and crevices and only very lightly wood part of the under the sofa and box mattress, being careful not saturating the fabric (while I was putting it I was not sure if it was going to stain or not at the time). This morning I turned over my sofa, (which is the most infested part in the apartment) I found over dozen bright red dead bed bugs along the wood casing, I would say they were the size of ranging from 2nd 3rd and 4th in star nymph,( I collected few and looked at them with a magnifier), very strangely, out of all the places, I also found few on the carpet that is front of the Bathroom, I had been seeing them while I was vacuuming but I had dismissed them as red lint from the towel. After finding the ones under the sofa, I again found some in that area and looked again , yes they were dead bed bugs. I did not use vinegar while steam washing that part of the carpet because I had ran out of vinegar, I will definitely go get another gallon and steam wash that part again. There you go, this product once again earned my FULL SEAL OF APPROVAL and I approve this massage!

    Great Bed Bug Defense in Public Hallway

    By Jade on 03/05/2013

    All right, I have written about the wonders and joy of BedLam on the inside of my apartment to rid me of bedbugs, but FenvaStar EcoCap mixed with Gentrol is my secret weapon against re-infestation from my bug bombing infested neighbors next door on both sides of my apartment. I am in Chicago, and we are having major bed bug issues. In my building, we didn't get infested until 2 months ago and all of the neighbors on our side of the floor were getting bites. Needless to say, the new people that moved in 3 months ago moved in infested. But instead of contacting the building, they bug bomb each weekend and boy can you tell. Every weekend, around sunday night, the bed bugs start showing up on the walls in the hallway and under my door, and there I am on Sunday night spraying....and vacumming the pile of carnage by Monday morning. So after talking to my manager, getting quotes, they said they can't do anything unless they call to have them spray and they haven't called. Now imagine one neighbor on one side bombing and the other neighbor on the other side doing nothing...bed bugs coming in through the pipes. In comes FenvaStar EcoCap and Gentrol and my beloved plant pump sprayer. Sprayed my perimeter, under the sink, my whole front door, around the front door and in the corners of the wall. Took it one step further, snuck out at 2am to the hallway and sprayed my neighbors door on both sides, the perimeter and the hallway walls. Now I still hear my neighbors stomping and vaccumming but no more bugs in the hallway or in my bathroom sink, and barely anything under my front door..I just re-spray every 2 weeks. I finally let my manager in on what I was doing, and he loved it and is now recommending gentrol to his pest control company that sprays. Whew! But to this day, the neighbors haven't been treated so I'll be a loyal customer till somthing knocks these bedbugs out! Thanks! :)

    It really worked!!!

    By Iris on 03/07/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I have been hearing that New York had a bed bug problem but was not worried about it. I was sitting at my computer when I began getting bites on my arms. Mosquitoes love me and I was sure that was what it was. Shortly after my mother in law wanted her bed flipped. OH MY GOD,I have never seen anything like it. Big reddish brown bugs, all in the creases and folds of the mattress. My mother in law's room is next to mine. My computer desk is against the wall that separate the two rooms. I really didn't know what to do. Ever so slowly I began to get bitten in my bed. I could not sleep at night and I had strong reactions to the bites. I could not afford an exterminator so I got online and found this website. I did as the product instructed me too and the biting was reduced to about 95%. It says you can reapply in 2 weeks. So I did it again after about 20 days because I am a little afraid of chemicals. Now no bed bugs! I have such peace of mind now because this product is enough to apply 8x. So if they should come back I will be ready. I would like to add that I also mixed in Gentrol IGR Concentrate. Also the Chapin 1 Gallon Pump sprayer works really well.

    Kills better than exterminators

    By Sari on 01/06/2014

    Verified Purchase

    Moved into a ground-floor apartment attached to an outdoor garden and was suffering from a huge roach problem, as well as a hoard of other bugs (ants, spiders, beetles, and unidentifiable bugs)... our building had regular visits by an exterminator every month that barely had any effect so we came here and looked around for something that would get em all. Chose this, and I was really worried it would be really difficult to use, but it was really really simple!! Just move furnature away from the walls, clean the floor and baseboards, mix some of this with water in the spray tank, then spray along the baseboards around the room, behind the fridge and by the doors... then leave for an hour while it dries. When its dry its safe for pets to come in (we have three cats)... after two months of spraying every two weeks ALL the bugs are gone completely and we had been swarming in them before. We saw less and less each time! SO much cheaper than exterminators and worked so much better. I shared this info with my neighbors and friends who are now really really happy and bug free too. KILLS EVERY BUG and it's worth it. (PS: we also used Gentrol IGR concentrate in the brown bottle with this, you can just pour it into the sprayer with this stuff)

    A wonderful company to do business with!1

    By Pamela on 06/30/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I purchased one of FenvaStar's products and, unfortunately, did not review the directors carefully enough, and put it on my rug, which I was definitely not supposed to do. The company was extremely gracious and sent me a replacement product that is TOTALLY OK to use on all rugs, and I am VERY satisfied with the excellent results I obtained from that product. Thank you, FenvaStar ! Sincerely, P. Atkinson Berkeley, CA

    Used with Gentrol for bed bugs

    By Jason on 09/26/2014

    Verified Purchase

    Used to spay my home for bed bugs after a room mate brought in an infested mattress. I never saw any or got bit, but we sprayed the whole house just in case.. That was several weeks ago and no one ever for a bite! I'm going to say it was successful! We mixed the Gentrol IGR with it and bought a bellows duster and put DE in all the wall sockets just in case! Can't stand bugs!

    Before use...wasps constantly buzzing around the windows, doors and gutters. Ants all over the patio, sidewalk and driveway. One or two days after application in and around the affected areas...problem solved. Have not spotted a wasp in over three weeks now. Just a few ants here and there. Will be using this several times each spring and summer from now on.

    Knocked Down those Asian Lady Beetles

    By Lee on 05/15/2014

    In the warm months, we in Michigan have a terrible infestation of Asian Lady Beetles (look like lady bugs, but there are millions of them). No known predator until I got a gallon of the FenvaStar EcoCap. One application of 3 mixed gallons around the perimeter of the house, and some spot spraying in our Pole Barn/Studio. Beetles dropped like rain. See very few live ones anymore, but we'll do a follow up application soon.

    Used this to spray for outdoor flea infestation. First 2 times sprayed 2 weeks apart. Then added the IGR inhibitor and spray monthly. Completely got rid of bad infestation outdoors that pest control company did not successfully eradicate.

    Great for Bed Bugs With Gentrol

    By April on 03/14/2018

    I have absolutely no idea how I ended up with bed bugs. I made the mistake of moving the infested mattress and box spring downstairs and spread them throughout my house. I was hopeless in what I was going to do. I couldn't sleep bc I woke up with one on my chest. Ugh I was completely a mess. So I started googling and became a somewhat expert at how to get rid of bed bugs. I did the diatomatic earth. I sprayed twice with a pyrothoid, bagged and washed my clothes, vacuumed like no tomorrow and found this. Fenvastar is cheaper than a lot of the chemicals on this site so I thought I would start out with it since it's a different type of pesticide than pyrothoid which bb get resistant to. You need to put out an IGR if you have bed bugs no question about it so I added Gentrol. Im on spray number 2 and I haven't seen a bug or a bite in over a month. I'm going to spray the recommended 3rd time of Gentrol but so far so good. No trace of a bug, castings, nothing. Great product and speedy delivery. Awesome website

    Fenvastar Awesome

    By Linda on 02/23/2017

    My mom moved into my house along with my brother....during the move they found bugs...found out they were bed bugs...thought that was just a fairy tale. Well I found out it was a night mare...we tried the professional chemicals...with little to no help from them. Then my mom found this and gentrol...we used them once and it was better. Then we used them again three weeks ago and no more biting. We will be doing a perimeter next week and once a month for a while just to give my bug a phobe self self assurance they are really gone for good.

    Effective flea treatment

    By Bob on 01/22/2018

    I combined this with Precor IGR to take care of a flea problem in my basement and this was by far the most effective. I won't waste time or money on other flea treatments again.

    EcoCap. Give it time !

    By Ashley on 01/26/2021

    Verified Purchase

    So what some people don't seem to understand is that this product has a VERY long residual. 3 months . However you can spray it every 7-14 days. I would recommend spraying every 14 days and make your initial application 2 oz per gallon. This will do a good clean out and let the product do its work. However this kills the bed bugs slowly . You might spray one and it may seem to keep living but it will die. I sprayed this everywhere and will continue to every two weeks (however second application will only be 1 oz per gallon) . There is no odor per se, but the vapors will get you so leave the room and allow to dry . Open a window to make it faster . You can't spray this all over your mattress but anywhere your skin doesn't touch will be fine . It also doesn't harm plants . In summation , use this product twice a month for about 2-3 months and then use cimexa as well as a product you can spray directly on surfaces your skin will touch ...like sterifab.

    Fenvastar

    By Joe on 06/21/2016

    I tried many of the Big Box insect control products(Ortho etc) with very poor results on Black Carpenter ants I then used Fenvastar. This product did the job. I was thinking of getting a professional exterminator. After applying the Fenvastar I did not have to. I would highly recommend it.

    Great pest control

    By Eric on 11/06/2020

    I wasn't sure about this product when I ordered it. Only because I had not heard about it but let me tell you how effective it is. This product wiped out any and all pests I had. Even some I didn't even know I had. It's been several weeks since I last used it but still seeing dead creatures. I had a real bad flea infestation but one application wiped them out. One of the reasons I ordered this was it stated odorless which it is but when spraying please use a mask because the vapor is very strong. That goes away once it dries.
