First Saturday Lime is a monthly insect repellent. It is eco-friendly, non-flammable, and has no known health hazards.

It is a super strong formula derived from eco-friendly products. It has the ability to dry out insects, eggs and larvae by clogging up the spiracles insects use to breathe and eventually dehydrating them. It creates an inhospitable place for insects to reproduce and thus they leave the area. It is effective as a treatment for infestations, as well as a prevention.

Our product can be used to repel any insects with an exoskeleton. This includes but is not limited to ants, fleas, ticks, mites, lice, aphids, beetles, roaches, earwigs, etc. It can also be used to prevent mosquito growth in water troughs and ponds. Also, many bee farms use our product under their hives to prevent small hive beetles.

Yes, our product works great against slugs and snails.

You can use our product in a yard spreader on the lowest setting to cover the whole yard then wait two days before watering. Our product creates an undesirable dry environment and kills larvae while being safe when used as directed for kids and pets. It's best to treat your yard monthly to disrupt the lifecycle.

Yes, First Saturday Lime is safe for animals of any size to touch or have near a feeding source when used as directed.

Yes, lime is safe for pets when used as directed, even if accidentally ingested.

The product is insoluble so it dries back out and is again effective. Check the area once a month (like the first Saturday of the month!) and reapply if necessary.

First Saturday Lime is only available within the United States. First Saturday Lime is not available in Canada or any other country at this time but we hope to expand in the future!

FSL is primarily 2 types of lime: hydrated lime and citric acid from limes that has been specially treated with our Patent Pending process to be insoluble and safe when used as directed. All of our elements are considered to be eco-friendly and approved for use on food contact and food preparation surfaces. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration has Affirmed our ingredients to be GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). We've taken the extra step to get our product tested to ensure we exceed purity requirements to deliver the most effective formula that's safe when used as directed for your family, gardens, ponds, pets and animals.

First Saturday Lime is a solution for those who are looking for a non-silica based insect repellent.

Garden lime is very safe, but is full of impurities, which dilute it and cause it to be too weak to be effective. Hydrated lime is very strong and would be an effective pest control, but reacts with moisture which results in burns for humans and animals when in contact with skin or mucous membranes (mouth, nose, eyes). FSL is safe when used as directed like garden lime, while effective like hydrated lime.

Ground limestone you can find at your local feed store and is called "dolomitic" "quarry lime" or "barn lime." First Saturday Lime has been in a kiln, made from calcium hydroxide, and formulated to the point that it is concentrated and much stronger. We took hydrated lime and made it insoluble so it won't cause a chemical reaction when it touches skin or fur. It is patent pending to be the best version of lime that has ever existed.

FSL supports all eco-friendly products. We want to work side by side and provide useful solutions to our insect infestations. One main difference between FSL and other eco-friendly products is that FSL has no strong scent. The mode of action of FSL is not to repel by scent, but rather by physically touching the product. This can benefit those who are sensitive to odors or who want to isolate or treat certain plants in their garden without affecting the aroma. Thus you can have your roses and stop smell them too.

We recommend that you apply FSL on the first Saturday of the month. We think this will help you remember to apply it regularly so those bugs stay gone! First Saturday Lime is most effective when applied year-round!

FSL helps prevent ants, mites, ticks, fleas, aphids, small hive beetles, lice and all other pests in gardens. Treat infested areas by dusting plants with FSL. Avoid petals and buds to continue welcoming pollinators. Wait at least 2 hours and gently rinse.

Apply FSL undiluted in a 2in. wide pour around the outside base of the building structure. This will create a pest barrier. Make sure to check the barrier and reapply if needed every month.

Using a yard spreader, cast 1 lb per 20 sq ft of FSL across a lawn for prevention of fleas and ticks. Apply monthly starting in the Spring to disrupt the growth cycle of the pests.

Apply 1/8" of FSL evenly over the surface of the water to reduce algae and food for mosquitos. Product will permeate water and eventually settle on the bottom. May cause rust if left on metal. Do not use in pools and/or spas. The product is insoluble and may clog your filter.

FSL can help freshen and deodorize chicken coops, stables, barns, and kennels. Control moisture, insects, and odor by sprinkling 1/8" of the product across the bedding of your choice. FSL can be used on top or under mats. Increase amount until reaching desired effect. FSL may be used as an effective dust bath.

We recommend applying a ⅛ inch layer of top of the surface area of the bedding of your choice as well as in the run to combat odor causing bacteria and moisture.

First Saturday Lime will repel flies; however, FSL is topical so if a fly lands on it, it should just leave the area! The best way to use First Saturday Lime for fly control is to spread FSL on your lawn as First Saturday Lime will dry out eggs and larvae to prevent more from hatching.

1 20lb bag should go around a 2000 sq ft house. (approximately)
Yard treatment: 1 lb will cover a 20 sq. ft. area.

It will be most effective if you reapply FSL every month!

Yes, First Saturday Lime can be added to any animal bedding to aid moisture control and reduce odors, while repelling insects.

No. Because First Saturday Lime does not dissolve, it should not be used in pools or saunas. It may clog your pump's filter. This is true for any system that has a motor and filter, which includes, but is not limited to pools, saunas, fish tanks, hot tubs, etc.

Yes, as long as you don't want any insects to be compromised.

First Saturday Lime will raise the pH levels of soil to which it is added. pH levels can only go as high as 7. Check with your garden expert to determine if a particular plant or tree benefits or is harmed by a high pH.

No, there are no known hazards with our product. It is approved for organic gardening and for food handling and preparation surfaces.

Yes, you can and no, it won't! Our formula is safe for plants, pets, and people when used as directed.

Here are some things you should not do with FSL:

• Do not inhale over long periods of time without protective masks
• Do not "dump" large amounts of the product directly to anything – be sure to spread or dilute based on your needs and desired results
• Do not use in your home – we do not offer warranties on your vacuum or furnishings
• Do not ingest – this is not for consumption
• Do not use in pools and/or spas – the product is insoluble and may clog your filter

First Saturday Lime is less toxic than mothballs and is insoluble so will last longer than cinnamon and/or boiling water.
