Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer for Indoor and Perimeter2, Controls Ants, Roaches, Spiders and More, 1 gal

I started getting ants in the kitchen a couple weeks ago, swarming over the cat food bowls. I tried duct taping the cracks they appeared to emerge from, but to no avail. Since I sprayed this stuff along the offending crevices, I have seen none (alive)! There are a few dead ones near the entry point, which is reassuring, as they didn't even make it to the bowl. I love that it's pet safe once it dries; obviously this one was non-negotiable since the treated area is where my cat eats/drinks. We have a mosquito and spotted lantern fly problem in our backyard, so I'm glad that this *should* work on those pests too (per the manufacturer. We'll see how it goes - I pretreated the outside, and am optimistic now that I've seen it work inside). While the idea of using a strong chemical pesticide initially made me uncomfortable, it didn't have a nasty chemical odor, was easy to use, and seems to work very well indoors.

This bug spray is a game changer! It’s easy to use, highly effective, and best of all—no lingering odor. I’ve been using it monthly across a few different properties, and the results have been consistently great. It’s also pet-safe, which gives me peace of mind. I originally started using it in our condo buildings because the standard building treatments weren’t doing the job—and this worked so much better. Definitely recommend!

Use this twice a yr. I bought a home infested, INFESTED WITH SPIDERS!!!!! This is the only thing that get rid of them. I've tried others, many of them. This is the only one that works. Only down side is the sprayer doesnt always work. Sometimes you will buy one and it will break within minutes. Does have some smell but goes away in a few hrs. My kids are allergic to everything and this doesn't break their skin out. I usually send them outside, spray and then leave for a few hours.

I have used the Ortho Home Defense insect killer for many years. This item is of consistent quality and does a great job of killing unwanted pests around the home - both inside and outside. I am impressed with how it kills spiders and ants, specifically, as those are my two biggest unwanted invaders.The spray dries to a long lasting barrier that works for weeks to control invaders.The applicator method is so easy to use. You can also buy the product in a plain jug and transfer to this applicator jug to save money on refills. I bought this jug as my other one was several years old and in need of replacement.5 STARS AND I DO RECOMMEND THIS ITEMI write honest reviews based on real life experience with each item to help others make informed purchases. I read reviews too, and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that you find this review helpful!

I've been using Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer for several months, and it's been a game-changer. The Comfort Wand makes application effortless, and the formula effectively keeps ants, spiders, and roaches at bay. I appreciate that it dries quickly, has minimal odor, and provides up to 12 months of protection indoors. Plus, the price is reasonable for its coverage and peace of mind. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking reliable pest control without breaking the bank.

Works sooo well for stubborn ants that fought their way through several other brands of poison. Easy to use spray nozzle, goes on clear, works immediately, and comes with a large volume. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!

So I used this like last week to get rid of spiders by my window. They keep setting up shop there. I went back today and sprayed again, expecting them to be back. Because that’s the usual for when I spray some repellents. After it dries, their webs are back up. But it wasn’t even one spider there. And it was some big ones before(california big. Not Australia). So I didn’t fully spray. Just one area but I quickly realized no spiders so I stopped.So this is a short term review. I’m going to set a reminder in my phone to check it in 3 months. I know it is advertised to last longer. But I want to check it at 3 month intervals, to see if it’s still working. Of course if it rains, the experiment is over lol. So I’ll come back in 3 months for an update.Mid Edit:As of 09/10/23, there’s still no spiders. And there are no huge spiders around where I live. Like a tarantula, wolf, or huntsman. Not that I’ve seen at least. This is a spider repellent review. Not a flamethrower review lol. And it rained from the hurricane/tropical storm that passed recently. I guess it didn’t hit the area directly or it wasn’t enough to wash it away. So that’s good it lasted this long. I’ll come back near the end of October for one final update. But I’m already sold with it lasting over a month.10/23/23Final update. Still no spiders outside my window. So it works for at least 3 months, which is good for me.One thing, don’t spray it in high bug areas like outside trash cans. I sprayed my outside trash cans because I don’t like touching spider webs when taking out the trash. Next time I’ll just spray the handles or something. Because there were so many more flies in and around the trash after there were no spiders left around there to catch them. So just be mindful of that. AND, it didn’t repel the flies. So it worked for spiders, not for the house flies.Edit: 05/05/2024I had no intentions of doing another edit. But I was so impressed I had to. I went out to spray my window again just now. And there were no spiders or other insects where I sprayed. No spider webs or anything. After rains, winds, time, and it’s living up to the claims so far of being long lasting defense. I just thought that was cool. This is the last update though. Because I sprayed it again even though it wasn’t needed. I was trying to see if a spider would come running out from where I couldn’t see it or something. lol nothing ran out. I wish it worked better for flies. But this is a must to keep handy if you deal with a lot of spiders. Oh. Side note. It hasn’t messed up my paint either. But this is a case by case basis. Do a spot check on your intended surface to test it first, if concerned. Ok. That’s all. Thank you for reading. Have a good dayedit: June 1, 2024.I sprayed in the doorway because spiders kept going there. They would come every couple of weeks. I sprayed and within 2 days I saw 3 spiders right where I sprayed. Didn't phase them at all. The daddy long leg ones. Not sure why it works so well for the outside spiders and not for the long legs. But hey. If I had to choose which spiders I wanted to stay away, it's definitely the ones outside. still disappointed though.

Works.Battery wand is nice.No leaks.Easy application and keeps the bugs away.Kills ants on contact.
