Could this bundle replace my exterminator?

We feel confident that, if you're dealing with the Target Insects listed on this page, you can call your exterminator up and let them know you won't be needing their services anymore.

Along with the detailed instructions in your User Guides and product inserts, Dr Killigan's Customer Experience team is available to help guide you through your all-natural approach to Pest Elimination!


Is this safer than what my exterminator uses?

Dr Killigan uses only the safest ingredients - many of which can be found in most pantries across the USA. All of our products are classified as Minimum-Risk Pest Products, meaning they contain ingredients that are recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to "pose little to no risk to human health and the environment.”

Most pest control companies use chemicals and pesticides known to be harsh and harmful to humans, not fit for consumption, and have a negative impact on the environment.

So the answer is a resounding YES! The products included in this bundle are much safer than what your standard exterminator would use. They are naturally non-toxic, and harmless when used as directed around food, pets and children.


Does Six Feet Under work as a repellent?

Six Feet Under is a great two-edged sword against bugs: it kills on contact, and keeps unwanted critters away for up to 30 days!

To kill on contact, use the spray function to aim and shoot from up to several feet away.

To prevent keep bugs away from a particular area, use the mist function on porous surfaces to repel bugs for up to 30 days. We recommend targeting areas where insects may be entering your home, such as around baseboards, door and window frames, and in pantry cracks and crevices.

Six Feet Under is NOT recommended for use on skin.


How long will the Moth Traps last?

Unopened, Dr Killigan's traps are designed to maintain full potency for three years from the date of manufacture, which is printed on the inside of the box lid.

Once opened, the moth traps are designed to remain effective for about three months.

Having said that, if you notice that the traps have filled up or if there seems to be an increase in moth activity, it may be time for an early replacement. The frequency of replacing the traps can vary based on the severity of your moth infestation; more significant issues may necessitate quicker replacements.

Regularly inspecting the traps will assist in managing and controlling moth populations effectively.


What is the best location for the Fruit Fly Trap?

The best location to set your trap is in a place where the fruit flies tend to hang out the most. This may be a matter of trial and error, until you find the sweet spot.

Since they are attracted to light and the smell of mature fruit, this tends to be on a windowsill or near fruit on a countertop.

You can also try different spots within your kitchen to find the most effective location for the trap in your particular environment.


How long does Sweet Surrender last?

Once opened, Sweet Surrender will last up to 6 weeks. Unopened and stored as indicated in a cool, dark place, it lasts for 2 years from the manufacture date, listed on the container.

Various factors, such as heat, air flow and light exposure can affect the longevity of the attractant. We encourage you to use your discretion and change it out if the container is becoming overly full of insects, or if you feel it should be changed for any other reason.

The Fruit Fly Trap can be reused indefinitely, and refills of the Sweet Surrender can be purchased separately.
