Abram - Surprisingly effective!

I have had this plugged in for about a month and all evidence points to its effectiveness. We had an unfortunate invasion of large black ants in our kitchen, and I had tried a lot of other solutions, but they kept coming back. I still see them occasionally, but only one or two now and then. So, I would say it is not 100% effective, but still did a better job than a lot of the chemicals I had tried previously. If you want a safe, easy solution for pests, I would recommend giving this a try.

Jessica Contratto - works great

I was hesitant after reading a few reviews that this product had an orange hue it left on your teak. I bought it anyway and tried it. I used it on a teak swim step I restored. The 2 pieces that were on the underside of the platform were a lighter blonde color. It did leave a slight orangish cast on the lighter teak. On the darker teak, it was stunning to see the color and depth it brought to the wood. It's beautiful. The sealer is very easy to apply. Dries fairly quickly for handling time and second coat. I did take a soft rag and buff the wood after it had dried because it felt slightly oily or sticky. Buffing it cured that and I feel confident it won't leave a residue on anyone's shorts. I am very pleased with this product so far.

Teri Blount - THRILLED to have found this on Amazon!

I've paid premium price for too many years to Intuit for their "automatic renewal" service for the same product. As we've minimized our business over the past few years we're down to one employee and the expense for the program was excessive until I found this option on Amazon (thanks to my son!) I'm very happy and will be back for the updates right here rather than purchasing from Intuit in the future.

Lewis Culer - Monthly payroll fee not displayed by Amazon

Warning. There is a monthly per/employee fee associated with this software in addition to the software cost. I just got a bill from Intuit Payroll. Amazon does not post this additional fee.
