Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand, Kills Ants, Roaches, Spiders, Fleas and Ticks, 1 gal.

1 of two thing happened when I rented this 1940's house:A: it had a pest problem and I didn't take the time to look at places where cockroaches may be (the electric wasn't on and there were no appliances so it was kind of hard to tell and it was the middle of the day).B.) I made a mistake and bought a refrigerator off of Craigslist in Conroe that I never saw the inside of the house. They had it on a dolly we load it in the truck (him and his son doing the majority of work)Or it could be both. Either way I've used multiple chemicals and strips and all sorts of stuff to try to catch them and destroy their breeding grounds and failed. Every two months I move the refrigerator and every two months a hundred scurry out. So we're getting ready to the refrigerator but I received this Ortho Max and I was shocked at how quickly it un-alived them. Like dead tracks falling off the lower wall (remember for every 1 you see there's like a hundred or a thousand behind it). It's electrically operated l, so I had to to figure that out and it's just the white unlock button and just pull the trigger. So before you make that call to the bug man, give this a try at least you can take a break for a while and save up the money if you really do need a full deinfestation of the house which I am still going to use a foggers for place I can't get into. And I do believe that this Ortho Max is pet friendly. Oh and it really dries quickly. 10/10

I have no idea how I ended up with a roach infestation, but I did. I spent a considerable amount of money and time over the years, trying to get it to end. I even went as far as getting extermination companies out to help with the problem, with nothing seeming to work. I should sell my house for a very low price, because it's got bugs. When I came across Ortho Home Defense Max, As a Last Resort, I made the purchase and devised a game plan to remove everything from the walls and spray every other week, to see if I could finally get this under control. Then it happened. I started seeing dead ones randomly throughout the house, and then it became fewer and fewer. Then, none to be found. I went to pull everything away from the walls as part of my first two-week plan, and... nothing. Not a single suggestion of a raoch to be found. Still, I sprayed, knowing that there could still be some hatchlings coming around. Two weeks later, and still, nothing. I finally fixed the problem, thousands of dollars later! Save yourself the frustration, and start with this product. It was easy to apply, the sprayer was even, my pets were not put in danger, and my house has been protected ever since! I still spray, more often in damp weather, and I have not seen evidence of any creepy crawly since.

Ortho Home Defense does help, but if you happen to live in an apartment, where there are neighbors connected to your building, they have them too! So, even if you get rid of some, they keep coming back, or never entirely gone, because they come from next door. Which is awful, I KNOW! I especially have a problem in and near the top of my kitchen sink. I do spray the sink and surrounding areas, but everytime you run the water, you are rinsing it away...so if this happens to you, please re-spray that area. I live in a very small apartment and I went through a gallon in a month! I'm still seeing them!! Yes, I am moving in a couple of months. I believe some places are beyond hope. They may be years old, like this place. I'm talking 50+ years old! So, it has years of getting these disgusting house guests. They get inside he walls. The only remedy is to move and they need to knock this whole place down! This is the second place in the 45 years I've live here, in Las Vegas and believe it or not the other place was worse. We moved out pretty quick and shortly later, they did knock that whole place down. It was a huge complex. It covered 2-3 blocks of a city street! Not too far from the Las Vegas Strip. I'm not saying that all places here are like that. Only two in 45 yrs. I have moved several times for various reasons. Most of the other, "newer" places didn't have ANY! I think the age of the place has alot to do with it. But, like another review said, you must ALWAYS keep your place as clean as humanly possible! No crumbs!!! And, if you do have any kind of roach or bug problem, you can use more than one insecticide at a time. To be safe, make sure you read the label and Google if it's safe for pets, (if you have one) and that it can be used with other insecticides. Most of them can. I don't think a professional place is any better than what you can do yourself. Just my opinion. Because you know where you see them more. You know exactly where to spray. A professional bug guy, just walks around and sprays here and there for about 3 minutes, and he's gone. You need to spray the baseboards! All the baseboards. Most of them come in through there. And, they DO come up from drains! I've seen it! That's why I'm getting them in my sink. They say if you have that problem, to pour vinegar and then baking soda down your sink often. Ar least 2 cups of each! I also found that if I ran out of insecticide to spray alot of vinegar around those areas where you see them. It doesn't kill them, but they avoid the smell. So, I don't know if you want to do that, but it helps me to NOT see them. And, hopefully that may only be necessary for a day or two until you get to the store. Another remedy is, to mix equal parts of white sugar and baking soda and sprinkle around the infested area, because they are attracted to the sugar, but the baking soda will kill them!!! Maybe not immediately, but shortly after. I haven't tried this. I hope I helped ar least one person, if anyone read this all the way through....

It is very easy to use, went around my base boards in the kitchen, living room, bathrooms and outside around my house. I did use this along with Advion Cockroach gel bait!! The 1st 24-48 hrs I found them all dead on the floor!! Its been over a week and I haven't seen one nasty roach. This spray also took out spiders and other pests I don't even know the name of. I should have bought this when i saw the first one, instead of canned sprays that only kill the ones u see! This also keeps them out, its says 12 months but I'll respray in 4 to 6 months just in case.

It works and no more cockroaches. I used so many products and never worked this one is the best . It has no smell and I used not much just in case it will have a smell since I have a toddler . But u have to make sure to used in certain areas kids won't reach. I don't see no more roaches around any more . I used out side my apartment door too so I won't get anything from outside too.

This product works great! I had a problem with bugs in my apartment and if used consistently it really keeps the pests away! Love it and the price is very reasonable, you get a lot of product for the price. The wand is amazing to get into smaller spaces. Doesn’t have a smell at all and safe for pets and people. Highly recommend
