I can not stand anything sticky-freaks me out. The 1st time I used that stuff it was my worst night mare come true. It shot out of the can like an exploding shaken soda. It even got in my hair. Once my son calmed me down he used the kerosene from my lantern to clean me up and the rest of the mess. I only lost a couple strands of hair but I realized I hate camera phones too-- he thought it was a fine time to do a photo shoot and he posted them on FB But no more ants or mice came in after that.
