What Customers Are Saying

The product's effectiveness appears to be mixed, with some users reporting it successfully controlled insects like ants and ticks, while others found it ineffective, especially against larger pests. Many noted it worked well initially but the pests returned over time. Some were satisfied with its performance, but a significant number were unhappy, stating it did not control insects as promised. The product's long-term effectiveness seems questionable, as its performance seems to vary depending on the specific pest problem and application.

Most Powerful Stuff I ever Used

Would Recommend

I used this stuff once in my yard last year and I don't think I ever saw an insect again. Not even any fly's. I don't know if that's good are not but it sure keeps the bugs away. I made it a point to save my receipt for this stuff so I knew what to buy again this year.

Works well and I like the fine grain, so it spreads easily by hand. I'll spot it on the small mounds and the ants go crazy and go away.

great buy-not too expensive and works really well

Would Recommend

I purchased the ortho max bug b gone. I had purched it before in Texas and it worked really well so I New exactly what I wanted when I went to Loews. I had tried to find this before at other stores since I left Texas but no luck in finding it. Nothing else seems to work as good. It's not harmful to the grass and you can sit and enjoy your patio or yard without being overrun by insects or bitten by them. Although not in the store very long, my shopping experience at Loews was a pleasant one. They...

Very disapppointed

Would Not Recommend

Ortho Bug B Gone was very hard to use because the product just wouldn't spread correctly. The other product that I used for grub control was Bayer Advance it cost more;however, was easier to spread and more effective.

Good coverage

Would Recommend

The product seems to be working. I used it about a week ago, so i'm still watching. I bought the 10,000 ft coverage size and used my spreader. I have nearly half left and plan to use in a month or so.
