Hi @mmd22,

 

There isn’t a single insecticide that can effectively manage all the pests you’ve mentioned while being safe for indoor, outdoor, and plant use. However, there are targeted solutions you can use. For cockroaches, ants, and redback spiders, PestXpert 2L Indoor/Outdoor Multi-Insect Contact and Residual Barrier Spray is an excellent choice. It works well on hard surfaces both inside and outside your home but is unsuitable for use on plants. For caterpillars in your vegetable garden, I recommend using Yates 200ml Success Ultra Insect Control.

 

To deal with slugs, Eco-Organic Garden 600g Eco-Shield Organic Snail & Slug Killer is highly effective and can protect your vegetables. Be sure to place it around affected areas. 

 

Lastly, ladybugs are harmless and beneficial to your garden as they help control pests like aphids, so there’s no need to eliminate them. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @mmd22,

 

The Hovex 1L Ultra Lo-Odour Termite Concentrate is suitable for insect control around your home and it specialises in controlling termites. If you have a termite problem, this could be a good solution.

 

The Coopex is another option. It contains Permethrin which is just another insect control chemical. Both of these chemicals would work well outside your home, whereas the PestXpert is good for inside and outside.
