I don't know, but it kept ants away from inside my house for a year. I am using it again this year.

I've no idea. They gassed our house so bad we threw them away after they made my wife physically ill. Don't know what they do to carpet beetles but I do know what they did to my wife. Traps in trash=wife felt better within 12 hours.

it worked great on every stain in my cars floor carpet which included lots of black greasy stains, I would definitely recommend you trying it.

I doubt it. The package says it's for "Flour and Grain Moths". It has a phermone piece that you unwrap and stick on it that releases chemicals that smell like female moths to attract the males. Then they get stuck on the sticky pad. The beetles might happen to crawl on the sticky pad and get caught, but they wouldn't be attracted to it. I would keep looking for something specific to them, if there is such a product.

This is for Japanese Beetles, and unless you are overrun with them inside, I'm not sure you would need this product. I have never used this product inside.

I did not have fire ants, so I cannot answer that directly. I can say it was "VERY" effective on a variety of ants; carpenter, little black, and sugar (lager black). Give it a try. That is the only way to find out for sure.

Looks like it does work on flour beetles: http://www.allaboutfeed.net/PageFiles/11045/001_boerderij-download-AAF11036D01.pdf -- The general way DE works is to dehydrate insects (such as fleas/ticks) -- they essentially dry up when they ingest it or walk through it. Good luck!

I figured it would be iffy as this product is more or less like Goo-Gone; it removes sticky stuff. In my review, I also warned readers that when I attempted to remove a sticker from a lovely wall shelf, it took the finish completely off, so I feared it would ruin the carpet. However, I happened to have a piece of carpet. I sprayed a bit of red paint on it, let it dry and then tried Goof-Off. It did not damage the carpet but it did not remove the red paint at all. I would try rubbing some paint thinner on the spot with a stiff brush, followed by some soapy water on a sponge. This has worked for me in the past.

Yes, this product does work on Carpenter ants as well as many other insects.

Basically, this product was not very effective.Only after I used four boxes (i.e. 16 tubes, 30 grams per tube) of Dupont Advion Cockroach Gel Bait, did the roaches vanish. They haven't bothered me for several months.

Unfortunately, it does not appear that Nuvan strips will be a good solution for carpet beetles. I did a quick search and there is quite a bit of information on-line regarding how to control them. I'd start with that. The first step always is to accurately identify the pest. Some universities have extension services which will help with that, if you need it. Good luck!

I would venture to guess yes. However, the greasy consistency of the product would create an oil slick in your carpet. I used it in Panama or in the woods at home and never get bit by insects.

The product was designed to work best for subterranean termite control. Try Beneficial Nematodes for ants. Spray right on the moving ant trial. Bye Ants!!!!

I have only heard stories, some people say it worked, some - didn't. It didn't work for me for ants, either. But I guess, we either got a serious invasion or I bought too little to do the big job. In honesty, Orkin didn't help either. We found another company that got rid of them naturaly. Wonders happen. So, if You have termites, I'd advise You to seek professional help - otherwise You'd put too much money into this product, too much time and efforts, and there is no guarantee. This is what I'd do. But at the end - it's Your decision. Good Luck!

Not sure, Beth, but it is some lethal stuff so I would imagine it to be pretty effective against any sort of insect. It says that it kills termites, so...

I've never used it against fire ants or any ants specifically, but it ought to do the trick. This is some awesome stuff. I've mostly used it against Japanese beetles and fleas. Very effectively, mind you.

I've used it several times on fire ant mounds, it seems to be pretty effective,, whether it's more effective than some of the other products intended solely for that purpose remains unclear. I will say this though we had an issue with carpenter ants in our house that were almost impossible to stop , even our pest control company couldn't put a stop to the ants. Since I started spraying the Demon product pretty heavy around the perimeter 3 or 4 times a year we no longer have them inside the house.
