Ortho 0220910 Wand Home Defense Insect Killer for Indoor & Perimeter2 with Comfort, 1.1 GAL

Really great stuff. Keep bugs away for weeks

This is a solid product. This is not designed for infestations or ant hills. It is a product designed to prevent entry of insects into your residence and eliminate individual insects that have entered. While this may help the odd case of colonized insects, it really is made for those solo runners that snuck in when you weren't looking. If you have an infestation or a mess, your insects are doing more than entering your house, they are living in it. Perhaps if it was sprayed around the house like the floors were being watering your floors it would work on infestations...but, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT, it wasn't designed for that use nor was that dosage tested for human/animal exposure. Consider calling an exterminator for infestations (100s+, colonies, groups of insects, etc.). And as for ant hills, either remove them, or buy poison for ant mounds. Are there ant hills in your home? That seems like a different problem. After you've taken care of cleaning things up, then protect your residence from the entry of new insects. You'll see this product is WONDERFUL FOR THE JOB. I've used it for years, one home in a very wooded, shaded area, one home in the south. Works like a charm...spraying as others have mentioned...seasonally. This product works by leaving a residue, so if what you spray it on (baseboard, perimeter of home covered in leaves in the fall, edge of home outside, etc.) is cleaned, blown away, excessively rained on...some or all of that residue will be removed...particularly overtime. Be aware of your specific situation and adjust your application frequency accordingly. IF YOU CREATE A BARRIER, THEY WILL NOT ENTER. (Read the label for all the insects covered...it's extensive.) 1. Clean up your outside and inside space a little of non-permanent items, pulling things from the perimeter (toys, anything that shouldn't be on the floor or ground basically). Eliminate debris and items in which insects hide, make webs, etc. 2. Spray the OUTSIDE perimeter and along the border of every door and window. 3. Spray the INSIDE perimeter, along the base boards, of your whole house (closets, pantries, bathrooms included). Then spray a barrier between rooms (around the door frame). Lastly, I understand the frustration that might occur if your wand or applicator never came. Exchange it with Amazon, try a spray bottle, etc. I've been using this with pets. Label says that IT MUST DRY BEFORE IT IS OK WITH PETS. Please remove them from the area while you apply. If you have a pet roach or tarantula I don't know what to tell you. All the best, and good luck with your application.

This does a great job. No odor and gets rid of bugs. Very easy to use. Last for a really long time.

Great for at home detection to get rid of minor disturbances! It is easy to use and it sprays well!! It makes virtually no mess and dries right up!

Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer has been an absolute game-changer for maintaining a pest-free home. As someone who has tried numerous insect control products over the years, I can confidently say that this is the most effective and convenient solution I've ever used. The combination of powerful pest control and user-friendly application makes it stand head and shoulders above competing products on the market. The Comfort Wand application system is brilliantly designed and makes treating your home remarkably easy and efficient. The wand extends your reach and provides excellent control over where the product goes, allowing precise application along baseboards, in corners, around windows and doors, and in other areas where insects typically enter or travel. The battery-powered spray mechanism creates a consistent, even application without any pumping or manual effort. This means I can treat my entire home's perimeter and problem areas without fatigue or inconsistent coverage, which is a huge improvement over traditional pump sprayers. The effectiveness of this product against a wide variety of common household pests is truly impressive. I've used it successfully to control ants, roaches, spiders, centipedes, and other crawling insects that occasionally try to invade my home. The results are both immediate and long-lasting. Within hours of application, I notice a dramatic reduction in pest activity, and the protection continues for months. The product creates an invisible barrier that insects cannot cross without being affected, providing ongoing protection that prevents infestations before they can establish themselves. One of the features I appreciate most is the indoor and perimeter dual-use formula. I can use the same product both inside my home and around the exterior foundation, doors, and windows. This versatility eliminates the need to purchase and manage multiple products for different applications. The indoor formula is designed to be used safely in living spaces when applied according to directions, and it dries quickly without leaving visible residue or strong odors. This makes it ideal for treating areas where family and pets spend time. The coverage provided by the large bottle is exceptional. The gallon size treats a substantial area, making it economical for whole-home protection and perimeter treatment. I typically treat my entire home's interior baseboards and exterior foundation with one bottle, with enough left over for spot treatments as needed throughout the season. This excellent coverage means fewer trips to the store and better value compared to smaller containers or more expensive professional treatments. Application is straightforward and requires minimal preparation.

I have used Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer for years in a variety of locations. It is effective for use in the interior, and leaves no residue, odor, or stains. Outdoors, it is effective in keeping out bugs for several weeks. Not as long as inside, but combined, it works well. Easy to apply, but spend the extra little bit to get the electric spray wand. I've never run out of battery, and it saves lots of hand fatigue from repetitive pumping.
