[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sprayed this along some of our deck outdoors to check out the potency. Came back out a couple days later and found all of the dead bugs! Ultimately it works well, it’s just a small amount at the end of the day. I would recommend a bigger package and then we’d be in the 5 star range!
Love that it’s plant based!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Aunt spray from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I think it works nice. I like to use it on the outside patio to help avoid them from coming in the house. I feel safe about using it because it’s based so I don’t have to worry about my kids or pets.
Great value for the price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a large amount of product for the price. I used it in our home were I saw some ants, and now I don’t see them anymore. Pretty straight forward packaging, it works well has the turn dial for “off” and “on” to make it safer. To me the scent has a vinegar with something else scent. It’s not crazy offensive but you can smell it if you spray it in your home.
Scent is over whelming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size of the package is nice not to big not to small for the price I thank #influenster and @stem for letting me try then product have to say did kill the ants that was there but could not get over the smell says no chemical is used but the scent of it is very strong. It killed the ant right off the bat and says safe to use around pets and humans but I would say if your going to use you might want to step out the room for a bit cause for me its was strong smelling.
Bugs be gone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this STEM spray in my kitchen and by the window where ants come in, and I’m really happy with it. The scent is surprisingly nice; it’s minty and fresh, unlike regular bug sprays that smell strong and chemical. I love that it's plant-based because I have pets, and I wanted something safer to use indoors. Overall, this spray has worked well for keeping the ants away while making my home smell clean and pleasant. This product is effective against bugs, but it doesn't work right away. You need to spray it directly on the bugs, and sometimes it takes a little while to see results. For cockroaches, you might need to spray them a couple of times to really get rid of them. It's not a strong extermination product, but it's good for regular use in the house or around outdoor furniture. It feels safer for homes with kids and pets, making it a reliable choice for everyday pest control. I’m giving this product four stars instead of five because it doesn’t work as quickly as some other sprays I’ve used. However, I feel much better using it in my home because it’s safer and more natural. The smell is pleasant, and I appreciate that it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals. Even though it takes a bit longer to see results, I still think it's worth it.
Gets the job done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Effective product, it was easy to use and came in a quality bottle. I’m glad it warned me to not use it near pets and kids though because I would say you shouldn’t uses those spaces for several hours after as it has a very strong chemical scent.
Definitely kills flies!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This actually works to kill flies. When they land and you spray them, they can barely fly after and later die. The scent isn't harsh, and I sprayed it around my houseplants, so we'll see if the ones near it are affected. I will say it's very greasy so spraying bugs anywhere that wouldn't be easily cleaned after.
Have been using this more frequently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best part is that it’s pet friendly and that’s why I’ve been using it more lately. It has a nice smell but it does leave whatever you sprayed it on with a shiny finish. Sp pros is it works has a nice scent and the spray is effective, packaging is simple but the con on this one is that shiny finish. It’s not the worst thing I just keep wondering why some things looked wet.
The best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic bug spray! It’s extremely effective; ants and roaches worst enemy, flies too. It has a strong herbal scent, which is not unpleasant. You only need to use a little at a time so the bottle definitely lasts. It’s also super easy to use, just spray and you’re done. I also love that it’s safe to use around people and pets!
This works incredibly well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bug spray in particular works very well for me. I use it all the time when I see any ants or roaches out and about and it pretty much kills them on contact. I don't believe it's toxic to humans or pets from what I know. I wouldn't spray this on food surface areas since you probably wouldn't want to eat food thats been in contact with any chemical. This is my second bottle so far and I've been slowly reducing it's use simply because there isn't as many ants anymore than I anticipated. This time it looks like they changed the color of the spray since it used to be clear like water, not sure if they made it stronger than it already was. It doesn't leave that much of a scent. It's worth the money and I'd buy it again if I ever had a problem with bugs again. 4/5 stars, could be a tad bit more effective with killing ants on contact since it does take a solid minute or two for them to die.
Problem solved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stem for ants, roaches and flies works great. We were having an issue with ants around the dog food and it has done such a great job of keeping them away. It was easy to find at my local stores and a great value. It works great for both inside and outside of the house. It does leave a mark when sprayed on certain surfaces (looks like oil sprayed) but works great and the mark eventually goes away.
Solid outdoor use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's fly time in the summer, so I've sprayed this outside on our exterior doors. First, it seems to do a decent job of deterring most bugs. It definitely smells like a bug spray, that citronella-y smell? Not unpleasant but I don't think I'd want it in the house. We'll continue to use it through bug season to minimize bugs coming through our open doors and windows!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been working good for our random flies that keep showing up in my house and back porch. It’s plant-based, which I like, and it didn’t leave that harsh chemical smell hanging around. I sprayed near entry points and all over my back porch and it kept bugs from wandering in for a while. I wouldn’t say it’s a total miracle worker, but for something more natural, it held up better than I expected. A decent option if you’re trying to keep things low-toxic but still effective.
Safe and effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am happy it's good around pets and people but the smell of it is very overwhelming. It does appear effective I didn't have many bugs at the time but the ones that I did it seemed to do well. It's a good price as well.
