ADAMS Plus Flea and Tick Spray for Yard, Kills Fleas, Ticks, Mosquitoes, Ants and Many Other Listed Nuisance Pests, Treats Up to 5,000 Square Feet, Easy-To-Use Hose-End Spray, 32 Fluid Ounces | Up to 4 weeks of control, flea yard spray, mosquito yard spray, hose-end sprayer

This stuff works!! It usually only takes half a bottle to spray my back so I can get two months use from one bottle. When I’m in the area that I sprayed I do not have an issue with mosquitoes ticks or fleas or any other bug for that matter. Once it’s dry it is safe to walk on and I have yet to have an issue with my kids running around on it dried. It doesn’t smell too horrible either. Which is a bonus. I would much rather pay the price for a bottle of this than pay $70+ a month for one of the companies to come out and spray. This stuff works so much better than one of those big companies because I can spray when I want based off of weather and wind.

Dateline: A Back Patio, Reclaimed from the Jaws of the Swarm. There are places you simply cannot go. Forbidden zones. No-man's-lands ruled by a vicious, humming, bloodthirsty horde. For too long, my own backyard was one such place. To step onto the patio after dusk was an act of supreme folly, a willing sacrifice to a whining, buzzing cloud of mosquitoes, flies, and other multi-legged fiends from the lower circles of hell. Leisure was impossible. Peace was a distant memory.Then, I decided to go on the offensive. I decided to wage a chemical war. My weapon of choice: the Plus Yard Spray.This is not some gentle, citronella-scented suggestion. This is a 32-ounce bottle of pure, unadulterated reckoning. At its heart is the magic word, the silver bullet: Permethrin. A name that strikes fear into the tiny hearts of nuisance pests everywhere. And the delivery system is a work of beautiful, brutish simplicity. You don't have to mix, you don't have to measure, you don't have to play amateur chemist with strange, concentrated poisons. You just screw the bottle onto your garden hose, turn on the water, flip a switch, and unleash hell.You walk the yard like a vengeful god, laying down a fine, even mist of doom across the 5,000 square feet of your personal kingdom. You coat the bushes, you douse the lawn, you create a chemical fence, a veritable minefield for any bloodsucking insect foolish enough to try and cross it.The result is not subtle. It is a dramatic, almost biblical, silencing. The constant, maddening hum of the mosquito squadron is gone. The cloud of flies that once held dominion over the patio has vanished. The yard, once a hostile territory, has been liberated. It is now possible to sit outside at night. To enjoy a cold drink without slapping at your own flesh every five seconds. The space has been rendered habitable once more.Now, let's talk about the price. This convenience, this pre-packaged, plug-and-play lethality, comes at a cost. Yes, you can buy raw permethrin concentrate in bulk for less. You can do the math, you can mix it yourself, and you can save a few dollars. But what you are paying for here is the sheer, unadulterated ease of it all. This is the busy man's solution. The "I just want the bugs gone now" solution. You are paying a convenience tax to avoid the hassle.And for the quiet, pest-free evenings it has purchased, it’s a tax I’ve been willing to pay. It’s a powerful, effective, and ridiculously easy way to take back your yard from the buzzing, biting hordes. It just works. And sometimes, that’s all that matters.

I’ve been using Adams Plus Yard Spray for a couple of seasons now, and overall, it’s a solid product for keeping pests like ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes under control around my yard. The hose-end sprayer makes it really convenient—no need to mess around with measuring or mixing chemicals, just attach and spray. It covers a large area, which is great for my 5,000 square foot yard, so one bottle goes a long way. The scent while spraying isn’t overwhelming, and it fades quickly, which I appreciate since I don’t like harsh chemical smells lingering. I noticed that it keeps bugs away for a few weeks, although I have had to reapply sooner some years depending on the weather. It’s important to avoid spraying near flowering plants because it can harm pollinators, so I’m careful where I aim it.After application, I make sure my pets stay off the treated area until it’s completely dry to keep them safe. It’s not a miracle product, but it definitely helps reduce the nuisance insects so I can enjoy my outdoor space more. I think it’s worth the price if you want a straightforward and effective yard spray without the hassle of mixing. Just be consistent with your applications for the best results.TIP: Always read the label and avoid spraying near areas with bees or other beneficial insects to protect your garden’s ecosystem. Also - wear long pants and gloves when applying.

Until this year (2024), organic/natural insecticides have proven effective against fleas/ticks, ants and mosquitoes when sprayed in the front yard. This year, it’s been extra buggy with the mild winter, extra humid, and now carpenter ants have moved in which makes my current spray ineffective. I contacted my local pest control company who recommended using insecticides/sprays that contained Permethrin. Adams concentrate contains ‘Permethrin’ and best of all it has my favorite type of sprayer nozzle in the 32 oz size bottle! I love the hose end sprayer style that’s quick and so easy to use! There’s no measuring and mixing, just check the weather for no rain in the forecast, put on a mask, shake, hook up your garden hose, turn sprayer dial to on and spray! It is super easy to apply and one bottle treats my front yard & its perimeter (about 5,000 square feet). Things I've learned... My front yard is home to pollinators (butterfly garden), so areas with flowering plants that usually have or attract bees, lady bugs, hummingbirds or butterflies and areas with chrysalis need to be avoided (this stuff will kill them). You also need to spray systematically so you won’t be left with gaps in your coverage. If you own dogs and cats like I do, keep them out of the treated area for a full 24 hrs until everything is good & dry (set the alarm on your phone). If you’re lucky enough to have a small yard, you should have spray left over so you can give your yard touch ups later (I need a second bottle). The odor wasn’t too bad to deal with when spraying, and not as overpowering as expected. It’s gonna be a mild-to-medium chemical smell, but not a heavy duty commercial toxic spray/Raid eye-watering smell. It also will be gone in about a minute since the odor seems to come from the actual spraying and not so much from the surface sprayed. So far, I am happy with the coverage and performance of Adams Plus Yard Spray. My red ant hills are mostly gone, the dog and I have not encountered any fleas, ticks or even mosquitoes out front. The dragonflies & pollinators are out in full force buzzing around like normal. As for carpenter ants? -I haven’t encountered any while working in the front yard. Ditto for beetles, roaches and wolf & huntsman spiders. Hopefully, they’ve all moved into the backyard of which I have no issue. 5 stars!

I’m only giving it 3 stars because the spray bottles I receive never work. The product itself is great for fleas and ticks. I have to buy a separate spray bottle. I also don’t think it’s pet safe, so I wait several days before I let the dogs back into the yard once I’ve sprayed.

We have cats in the neighborhood somone has been feeding. We ended up getting fleas in the house and we didn't have animals. Took care of the inside with sprayers. Still use this for the yard once a month. No fleas inside!!!

This actually works. Like one of the reviews said, apply and the do another application in 2 weeks to break the breeding cycle. I am treating for chiggers and nosee’ems. Seems to have knocked them down pretty good.Going to do another two treatments and see how far into the Texas summer it gets.Easy to use and enough to do my back yard quite liberally.

I have been familiar with Adams products for pets and indoor treatments for probably 35 years. Pyrethrins are effective and safer than most flea treatments. I mostly use safe natural products (no systemic poisons) but in the past few weeks the flea population has exploded, likely due to rain and humidity and increased visits from the local wildlife in my area. I finally decided to treat the lawn area where my dog frequents to potty, since every time she goes out she’s attacked. I ordered the Adams feeling it should be effective enough and relatively safe. I was very concerned after reading the ENTIRE label and precautions. I have many many pollinators and hummingbirds that share my yard. I finally opted to take down all the hummingbird feeders. I mowed the grass fairly short in the area. Then I erected a temporary fence to divide the area in half. I waited until nearly dark to treat half the area, leaving the other for a safe place for my dog to use in the meantime. The pollinators had settled for the night. I was very careful to only wet the grass area and not my many flowerbeds and wildflowers. The second night I will repeat the process to treat the other half of the area. The reason I give it only 3 stars is due to the lack of precautions on the ad, and knowing human nature, most people won’t bother to read the label carefully and follow extreme safety protocols. Please people! Take care! I don’t even know yet how effective the treatment will be on the flea population, but the dangers of killing pollinators, fish and poisoning groundwater need to be met with responsibility. Be careful!!Update: useless. Did not kill ants, spiders, and certainly not fleas. Waste of money. Downgraded to one star because that’s as low as you can go. Going back to diatomaceous earth.

I sprayed our garden a month ago and neither of my dogs have had any ticks on them,during this time.

I had great hopes for this as I have been unable to find a suitable product in the UK for dealing with the deer ticks invading our garden. However, the product is so full of solids it will not spray. Even after pouring through a fine sieve I find it still will not spray consistently to the point where I gave up. My review therefore is based on the effectiveness of the sprayer. I may well try and apply through a pressure sprayer of my own but I do not feel I should have to do this given the price of the product. I will try and apply and see how effective it is and then review further but I won't be able to give a 5 star rating due to the problems with the sprayer.
