Works on crawling insects ...

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product works as marketed. I have been using home defense for the past few years. There are a couple of things i noticed. 1. Apply this inside and wait a few days before applying to the exterior else you'll be chasing the bugs from outside in. 2. There is a bit of an odor that lingers. 3. not sure how effective it is against gnats, as despite spraying around porch lights they still live there like its no o es business..

Great product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this product all around the perimeter of my house and it does a great job keeping the bugs out. I went a year without applying it and I definitely noticed a difference in the amount of crickets and beetles and spiders that would find their way into my patio and porch. Easy to use, cost efficient and highly recommend!

Ortho home defense

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Home defense 12 bug spray. I sprayed it all around cracks and floors by doors. It worked good for about two weeks and then palmetto bugs returned. The fleas were gone in house which was a plus. Easy to set up and use goes along way.I will spray again next month and hope it kills them. It was pretty good for everything else of bugs.

Stopped carpenter ants in their tracks

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used to have our home professionally treated yearly for carpenter ants, but this year they jacked up the price like 75% and I just could not justify it. That's where this stuff comes in! I spray around the perimeter of the outside of the house and we haven't seen a single one inside or in the nearby environs of the house all season. We have some disease-carrying mosquitoes up here in VT this year, so I'm trying to figure it out how to most e...

Kills bugs and keeps them out!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ortho Home Defense Core Insect Killer with the Comfort Wand works effectively and as advertised. The wand is adjustable to make broad applications and can pinpoint for hard to reach areas. The product lasts for and extended period of time as I only apply once a year and see dead insects many months after application. Works great both indoors and outdoors.

Was this Review Helpful ?

Worked for me!!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was skeptical off of other reviews, but gave it a try being it was affordable to see. Its a large refill size that's designed well to make it easy to use with your old spray or wand trigger. After years of use, the price seems virtually the same, great stuff. You just pull the spray out of your old container and plug it into the refill. I use it to keep ants out as well as spiders and other insects. I know it works because I never see insect...

So easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really great insect killer and repellant to have on hand for around the house. I like how easy it is to use and it seems to work really well. We try to spray around the house every month or so, to make sure bugs don't get int. With the change in seasons coming up, I've noticed almost no ants in the house at all! Definitely recommend.

Easy to apply, keeps bugs out.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are several things I really like about this bug spray. The comfort wand sprayer that comes attached makes application super easy. My hand would always cramp trying to use spray bottle type of applicators. The wand extends pretty far, making hard to reach places easily accessible. You can adjust the flow to either stream or spray. I usually use the 'stream' option when treating the outside perimeter of my house and it does a great job of s...

Excellent protection, easy to apply

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is very easy to apply, with the wand having 2 settings for a wide spray and a more direct stream. I had a swarm of ants entering my kitchen from a crack in the wall near a window. I sprayed inside and outside and the ants have not been back in at least a month now. I tried this on a hole that I saw bees going in and it caused the to initially hesitate, but they have returned, so I am not sure this works great for bees even though it is m...
