camper and it works great. I have also used it around the house in the nooks and crannys however I have not had the best luck in the house with it for some reason so I bought a gallon (sprayer attached) of Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer. I spray this around the outside perimeter 2x a year and around all the interior baseboards, the counter/wall edges and on the inside of the cupboards in the very back.

I have had horrific ant problems since we bought our house even in winter.. the Ortho has been the best thing for the problem.. good luck!

change it up with a different idea but I do feel it can work in many different areas for different things.. with that said.. I watched a show awhile back and there is fecal matter and Lord only knows what else in the kitchen.. it was proven there is no more "stuff" on your toothbrush if you have it the bathroom and flush with the lid up or the same holder somewhere in the kitchen.

grease making it slippery. My bathroom floor is ceramic tile and I about fall down every time I step out of the shower...lol. The Quikrete doesn't get as glossy as say polyuethane.. at least in my experience with it. It will wear down after a bit but it's easy to recoat it as needed. My kitchen is on 2 years with the same coat ndd I have scatter rugs all over and have not slid around at all.

You could test something with a little sand in it for grip to see how it will be on a patio stone just to give you more peace of mind.
