First Saturday Lime 5lb Bag

I love this product! It does what it says it will do! Helps with moisture and odor, I don’t see mites or any other insects, and it’s not harmful to my flock. I will continue using it for sure.

The Insect Deterrent 20LB Bag markets itself as a monthly insect shield, promising multi-purpose insect control for outdoor spaces, with a focus on preventing ants and other common insects. After using this product, here are my observations. One of the most appealing aspects of this product is its claim of being a multi-purpose solution. The idea of using a single product to deter a variety of insects is certainly attractive, especially for those of us who prefer a simple approach to pest control. In practice, I found that the deterrent was indeed effective against ants, which were noticeably less prevalent in the treated areas. However, its efficacy against other insects seemed to vary. While it did offer some reduction in the presence of flies and mosquitoes, the effect was not as pronounced as with ants. This suggests that the product may be more effective against certain types of insects than others, and users should have realistic expectations about its broad-spectrum capabilities. The monthly application is another key selling point. The convenience of applying the deterrent just once a month is a significant advantage over products that require more frequent applications. This feature is particularly beneficial for busy individuals who may not have the time or inclination to engage in constant pest control efforts. In my experience, the monthly application schedule was generally sufficient to maintain a reasonable level of insect control, although I did find that heavy rainfall could diminish its effectiveness, requiring a reapplication to maintain the desired level of protection. In summary, the Insect Deterrent 20LB Bag offers a convenient and effective solution for controlling ants and provides some level of deterrence against other common insects. Its multi-purpose nature and monthly application schedule make it a practical choice for homeowners looking to simplify their outdoor pest control efforts. However, users should be aware that its effectiveness may vary depending on the type of insect and environmental conditions, and should adjust their expectations accordingly. Overall, it’s a solid product that delivers on its core promises, but with some nuances to consider.

First Saturday Lime has worked incredibly well for us, especially in our chicken coop. We use it monthly to keep the coop fresh, dry, and bug-free, and it truly makes a noticeable difference. It’s easy to spread, settles quickly, and doesn’t have a strong smell, which I appreciate when using it around the animals. Since we started applying it regularly, we’ve had far fewer flies and practically no ants or other pests lingering around the coop. I also like that it feels like a safer option compared to harsher chemicals, especially with pets and kids around. Overall, it’s simple, effective, and has become a must-have for maintaining a clean, comfortable coop. Highly recommend!

Great product! I use this in my chicken coops and runs, goat shelter, and pig shelter. Keeps bugs and smells away. Also great for dust baths for the chickens!

I use this in my chicken coop and it is wonderful! I also used it in my garden and it has done an excellent job at keeping the bugs out along with causing my garden to flourish.

I am a new chicken owner and this is working well at keeping the smell down in my coop (I am using the deep litter method). I think that Zeolite works better at absorbing moisture and keeping the humidity down but I want the lime to help with insect control so I use both.

I’ve used this for several years. Works great in the garden and in the chicken coop. Great product!

Love the product

Quite expensive to buy but lasts a long time so quite good value I think and prevents any insect pests in my chicken coup
