How Earth’s Ally Bug Barrier Works

  • The essential oils in Earth’s Ally Bug Barrier work synergistically to kill ants, cockroaches and spiders on contact. They also repel cockroaches.
  • Beta cyclodextrin provides encapsulation that slowly breaks down with time. This causes a continuous release, providing the long-lasting 90 day repellency.
  • Formulated with ingredients from the FIFRA25(b) list, Earth’s Ally Bug Barrier is safe to use in areas frequented by children and pets when used as directed.

How to Apply Earth’s Ally Bug Barrier

Shake well before each use and during application as essential oils can separate. Adjust sprayer nozzle to the desired setting, spray or stream. Hold sprayer approximately 12 inches from the surface. 

Keep product in its original container in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Must be stored in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Do not freeze.

Earth's Ally Bug Barrier is an indoor home insect spray to be used in areas where ants, roaches and spiders commonly frequent.

Where to Apply Earth’s Ally Bug Barrier

Spray in areas where bugs commonly hide or enter the home. Around window and door frames, in basements, along baseboards, near sinks and plumbing, and around appliances are areas they frequently hide. 

The formula should be applied to hard, non-porous surfaces and is non-staining on most. Test on a small inconspicuous area before application is recommended. Do not use on carpets or fabric surfaces. Do not spray on plants or animals.

Wait approximately 15 minutes after application to let the formula dry before allowing children or pets to reenter the area.

Tip: Have a surface or area where you’re hesitant to directly apply the product? Thoroughly saturate a sponge, towel or dishcloth with the formula. Squeeze excess liquid out. Then place it in your trouble spot. Underneath sinks, behind appliances, or in cabinets are good areas.
