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!

But this to keep creepy crawlies, and especially spiders away. I live in an old farmhouse in the country. Lots of opportunities for spiders and such to come in. I spray this at the baseboards every so often (can last at times for several months!) and it works wonders. No odor, spray and leave animals away for four hours per instructions on the container. I have been using it for years!

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.
