What Customers Are Saying
The Ortho Bed Bug Killer appears to have mixed effectiveness in eliminating pests. While some users found it worked well, others reported it provided only temporary relief or was ineffective. The spray seems to work best when used consistently and in combination with other pest control methods. Some noted the strong odor and potential for surface damage, but overall it is considered an easy-to-use and affordable do-it-yourself option. However, a significant number of users were dissatisfied with the product's performance and would not recommend it, suggesting it may not be the most reliable solution for severe infestations.

Spray works as it should. The nozzle broke fairly easily but taped it back up.

Toxic to all plants in spray path.
The label is a lie. The label claims it contains Bifenthrin, Imidacloprid, and piperonyl Butoxide. However, the SDS says it contains ONLY Bifenthrin!!!! It does not disclose the make up of the carrier liquid.

Follow directions for best result.
Product works fine, just the 30 minute wait to pick up something purchased online was dismal. Will buy it from someone other than LOWES next time.
