Customer Reviews for Niban Granular Bait - 4 lb. Shaker

This product doesn't work on snails. The label says it does, but sadly it doesn't.

I have used this Niban granular bait for three years now for roaches and ants. I just sprinkle a little on an ant bed, and in a few days the entire colony is dead. I also spread it around the attic because roaches like to hide up there. Very effective against ants and roaches, so I will continue to use this product as long as I have a problem. Plus, DoMyOwnPestControl makes it very easy to buy so I will continue to get it from this site as well.

I purchased my house and suddenly started seeing spider crickets in the den. After catching hundreds every month on glue traps, I researched and found Niban. I put it around the perimeter of the house and in the boiler / laundry rooms and also use Drione powder in the outlets and radiators inside. I almost never see a spider cricket anymore.

I got this based on an exterminator's recommendation. I've used Niban for five years. Application is simple and effective. I started with the 4 pound container in 2014 and use it to refill from the 10 pound bag.

I use this product for the cave crickets; the big ugly half spider half cricket looking things that jump very high and are blind so easily can get on you!!! This is the absolute best and safest product with instant results for these ugly critters and would highly suggest this product.

Spread bait around perimeter of house and set up small plates with bait in around my basement, the day after I received the product. It's been about ten days and the number of camel spiders has diminish to none. I done see them outside and they are not inside either. I plan on purchasing another container in about 4 month, which is the recommended interval.

I have had the product down in basement for 3 weeks now but have not seen reduction in camelback crickets nor dead bodies. Yesterday we put some Niban in small jar lids and stuck them under installation on ceiling. Hope this works.

Bought this last year to rid myself of slugs and it worked as advertised. Bought it again for this season.

I purchased 2 4 lb shakers of Niban Granular Bait about 3 months ago; today, after I'm finally sure it's not going to rain in the next 48 hours, I started to apply it. I have no idea whether it works well or not, as I just put some on this morning. I bought it to control snails, on the recommendation of an expert. However, I will not buy any more. Why? The grains don't come out of the holes in the shaker!!! You get one very anemic shake, then another, then you have to turn the container upside down and shake it hard, then you get one anemic shake, then another, then repeat the upside down, etc, etc. In frustation I took the cap off and tried to evenly spread it that way. Of course, I got it spread, but much of it in huge piles when a big bunch came out. I used 2 lbs on one medium sized flowerbed. It doesn't help that I have back and leg problems, and it hurts to do it this way.

Definitely gets rid of those slimy slugs in mulch beds. Product shipped and received quickly. Best online retailer I have ever used and will continue to use for my pest control needs.

This stuff works I have been using it for years every summer for cave crickets. Once applied they are gone however when summer returns the next season they are back To be fair the new infestation is most likely new pest entering from outside. One thing about Niban is that any left over bait that I applied last season seems to be ineffective for the next summer I have found that with the new infestation I must vacuum up any Bait that is in place from last season as the crickets are no longer attracted to it and I must reapply fresh bait every season.

In all honesty, this stuff works!! I was using different brands of insect sprays and gel bait formulas with little success and I was getting frustrated. I did some research and decided on a bait that would cover a wider area. I decided on this Niban scatter bait because a YouTube video stated that it is water resistant. I am not kidding when I say that the following days after using this in my front and back yard I started seeing huge dead bugs that I did not even know were in the area! I mainly purchased this for roach and cricket control and have not seen a single live one of either since using this product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Great shipping, but after 3 weeks I have not seen a reduction in snails. Used as directed and even applied more after 2 weeks even though it said not to apply more than monthly. Snails are so bad I was using a shop vac to pick them up. I do not recomend for snails.

Great product. I would see 2-3 cave crickets whenever I would go to the basement. I put Niban on small paper plates as well as duct tape sticky side up on wood pieces. Within 2 weeks, I have not seen any around.

I and family are so happy to finally have found a product that has rid our house of hundreds of pesty, camel back crickets that we've had off & on over the past two years. We live in a wooded area, so we've had a lot of uninvited insect guests to deal with. The camel-back crickets have been the worst. Now we have none. I can't express how very, very relieved we are to have our house back - thanks to Niban Granular Bait. The free shipping is an extra perk.

Well, that was frustrating. I moved into a new house that has a cricket problem. I used this around the perimeter of my house twice over the course of 2 1/2 weeks and it's done absolutely nothing. Crickets are still all over the place inside and out, happily hopping all around the perimeter exactly where I've applied the Niban. They seem to be immune to it.

We had a camel cricket problem. Read some stuff online and laid out some large glue traps and spread out niban in spots around the basement. After a few days I actually saw a couple looking sickly. A week or so later, no more camel crickets.

I purchased the product after reading other reviews on how quick the pesty ant problem I have, would disappear after 1 use. Not the case! At first it seemed to have worked, I put a some of the Niban in a corner in my pantry and watched the Ants take the Niban and bring it back to their "home". The Ants came out in droves for the Niban. The Ants seemed to have disappeared but than a couple of days later reapperaed. I put more Niban out, I'm not sure if its working the 2nd time around. Definetely fewer Ants but have to keep track and put more Niban out. I think the Ants figure out the NIban and than look for other food so you still have to make sure not to leave any food on counters or floors etc. I bought 2 containers but 1 4lb container can last you several yrs for sure. I would recommend to try it bec. it beats that roach spray that stinks.

never killed ONE CRICKET! I covered the areas - read instructions, maybe it kills Roaches but we have NONE here just these aggravating KRAZY Crickets that make noise all day and all night they never SHUT... this was over $40.00 - RIPPED OFF, they need to take the Crickets OFF THE lable, this is simply BORIC ACID - good for roaches, does not do a thing to CRICKETS

We have been overrun with silver fish, and nothing seemed to work. However, I bought this product - and also the little plastic "make your own traps ' - swept it into the wood floor and corners, then put the plastic bait traps we made in the most likely areas. We haven't seen a silverfish in 2 weeks. So, we are very happy. I chose this over another, similar, product that was a bit less expensive because it comes in a plastic container with a screw on lid. the difference in cost is more than made up for in ease of storing the bait safely. The other product only comes in a large bag, making it harder to keep it thoroughly closed and in good condition.

This is my third time using the Niban Granular Bait in 5 years and there is no need for "Over Kill". This is by far the best product on the market.

I have a pest service and was still getting those disgusting cave crickets. Then added to that were centipedes. I noticed when they applied granular pesticide I had significantly fewer pests. They only apply it twice a year. I checked the receipt for the granules they used and Niban was listed as the granules. I bought 2 4lb shakers bottles and did it myself!! Yippee...it worked great!! No bugs at all for the last 3 wks since I treated. Thank you !!!!!!

Amazingly effective. I use this for camel crickets in the basement, no crickets. I also used it around the outside of the house this year in the basement window wells instead of Bifin. Again, no crickets this year. Also shake it around the outside of the vacation house during dry spells in the summer for slugs and carpenter ants. Slugs have been reduced 80%. Ants I also have a regular and aggressive spray routine. All in all this is great for the basement bugs and a second layer of defense outdoors. I'm very happy with Niban.
