Would RecommendI sprayed around the exterior foundation and in the crawl space. The battery operated sprayer is a nice addition especially while under the house. Foraging ants seem to have disappeared. Product seems to work well.

Ortho Home Defense is Amazing!!! I purchased this because of these crazy tiny ants outside on my slab & in the backyard dirt. On the same day I went home, sprayed the entire house parameter inside & outside. The next morning I checked outside and there were dead ants, bugs everywhere. It was so nice to be Bug Free. Yay! I've already told everyone I know about this wonderful product.

Bugs be gone!
Would RecommendThis is the only bug product that I have used for many years. It really has helped to control those unwanted creepy little crawlers that you don't want especially the ants! I use this around the outside perimeter of my house and in various spots within the house. It works! Spray wond is handy and easy to use to correctly direct where you want the spray to go. Have never experienced any problem with this sprayer.

Best Purchase Ever!
Would RecommendI debated whether to spend the extra money just to get the sprayer wand it comes with. Boy am I glad I did! It's great! It has a battery in the wand (I didn't realize that when I bought it) so you don't have to keep pulling a trigger. You just hold the trigger down and it keeps spraying. It has the adjustable nozzle settings you would expect, and because of the battery you can reach distances otherwise unattainable. My motorhome sits on a concrete pad and one of the expansion joints in the concr...

It does the job.
Would RecommendMy wife wanted me to use this with a rental property we had a few years ago when she saw a spider and some stink bugs in the house. After spraying we never saw another bug again in the house. So when we bought our first house this was one of the first purchases we made. I usually spray it about every 8 months instead of 12 to make sure we have continuous coverage. I would recommend this over and over again. As the old saying goes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Will not kill roaches!
Would Not RecommendI enjoy shopping at Lowe's stores. When I have to ask a question I am not given the typical clueless woman treatment. But this product does not live up to my expectations. I sprayed it directly on roaches, and they are not dying! I plan to shop at Lowe's in the future for my home repair needs.

Great Bug Killer
Would RecommendThis product works well and is easy to use. Wish it would last for a longer period of time, but there's none out there that do. I've used it for a couple of years now and will continue to do so.

Best Product I Have Used
Would RecommendThis was a repeat purchase. Originally purchased the product over a year ago and have used it both inside around the basement perimeter and also around the perimeter of the house. I bought it again to do the inside perimeter of the garage. Have had NO insects, spiders, roaches, etc. since using the product. I am definitely sold on it. It literally does last a year in preventing those little varmints from getting inside.

Keeps the bugs out
Would RecommendI have been using this product for two years now. It keeps the bugs out, as long as you reapply at the right intervals. I do a early spring spray, mid summer spray and a fall spray. I don't have the spiders and ants like I used to. Best stuff I have found out there for home defense both inside and outside.
