Living in the woods, we are plagued with flies this time of year when they come in from the cold.  So I bought some Zevo from Amazon, but the directions didn't answer all my questions.  What should I NOT use this on?  Like the TV screen, the flies crawl all over the picture at night.

@depglass  Go to their website, zevoinsect. They answer questions Remember it is flammable, keep away from heat.

Thanks, I noticed the flammability, so that means alcohol?  I guess I expected you could drink it from the ads, it was so harmless.  Just kidding.

I bought some but found it to be a greasy oil . It made my tile floor slippery   and was to greasy for any glass or  TV screens  .   I sprayed it on wood  or take an old  cloth item  and spray it  . I did not buy any more Zevo because it is an oil .

I have seen cloth Schats from Earthkind  company that are sold at Home Depot  that contains citronella oil, Rosemary oil  and Lemongrass oil.

@depglass  I had to throw it away. I found the odor horrible. Had to wash the area I used  it on and then open every window. If anyone knows of a "clean" bug spray with a tolerable odor please let me know.

When they climb all over TV screen or on windows - grab your vacuum cleaner and s*c* them up.....and/or   hit them with a can of hairspray - immediately the spray dries / sticks and no longer can fly.

 

I've done both..................

I used it and recently just finished a bottle.

I can't say that I really noticed a difference in the amount of any kind of bugs or spiders. 

I didn't

 even notice that it was flammable.

I got it after readin several here thought it was great but I don't think I'll order it again.

Most insecticides are petroleum-based so are greasy.  I find Raid Flying Insect Killer to have the most tolerable odor but I suddenly can't find it at any store.  I guess everyone else is spritzing too.
