EarthKind’s cockroach and ant deterrent product is made using a combination of plant-derived essential oils and other botanical ingredients. Set these pest control pouches in places you’ve already noticed cockroach or ant activity, or areas where you want to prevent future infestations. The pouch emits a smell that’s pleasant to humans, but deters these insects from the treated areas.

Each individual pouch is 2.5 oz.

Lemongrass Oil, Peppermint Oil, Thyme Oil, Sunflower Oil, Almond Oil, Corn Cob.

Simply remove the outer plastic wrapper and place the Stay Away® pouch in open areas or crevices where you’ve noticed ant or roach activity. The pouch emits a scent that is pleasant to humans but will repel ant and roaches feed upon in the treated areas. Do not place directly on furniture or finished surfaces as the product may stain.
