What Customers Are Saying

The Ortho Bed Bug Killer has received mixed reviews regarding its effectiveness. While some customers found it to be very effective at eliminating bed bugs and other pests, a significant number reported that it was ineffective. The product appears to work best when used consistently and as directed, with customers noting they had to spray multiple times over several weeks to see results. The ready-to-use spray bottle was mentioned as a convenient feature. Overall, the product's performance may vary depending on the severity of the infestation and the diligence of application.

Toxic to all plants in spray path.

Would Not Recommend

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.

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.

Had to liberally spray floor. Ortho and Hot Shot didn’t touch my infestation. I vac wood floors every day and sprayed several times over a month. I now have flea traps down.
