What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this pest control product for its effectiveness at eliminating ants, spiders, and other household insects, with many reporting dead bugs within days and sustained protection lasting weeks or months. The battery-powered wand is a standout feature, praised for eliminating the need to pump and making application faster and less tiring. Users appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to professional exterminators and establish monthly or bi-monthly spraying routines with consistent results. Some note limited effectiveness against roaches and palmetto bugs, and a few report occasional wand defects, but these are isolated concerns. Overall, most customers consider it a reliable, long-term solution worth repeat purchases.

Love the Wand!

Would Recommend

Kills bugs and love the battery powered wand that gives an even spray. You pay more for the super wand, but it's worth it.

Ortho Pest Control

Would Recommend

We have used this product for 2 years. Compared to hiring a pest control company just to spray for bugs it is worth the cost. Can use product indoor and out just like a professional. Like the new improved wand sprayer.

If you want to eliminate these pesky ants from your yard, Just keep at the nests with ortho and soon you can walk around worry free.

Wand very useful

Would Recommend

Are sick all the pumping? Then choose this product. With an electrical pump you just have to pull the trigger. The question is, will the battery life be sufficient for the entire canister?? I could not discover if you could change the battery. the product worked fine to end an ant invasion, but I doubt the "anti insect barrier" will last the promised 12 months, especially with the heavy summerly downpours in Southern Florida.

Great Product that did its job

Would Recommend

We were having issues with ants in our laundry room. I sprayed this in there and the exterior and it has been nearly two weeks and I haven't seen anymore ants. I have used this all around the interior and exterior of my home.

More expensive but I love the battery pump inside. Too early to tell if it kills the ants for twelve months.

Easy, Quick, and Effective

Would Recommend

Great product if you have bugs during spring or summer outside, as spraying your perimeter will keep out most pests. You will still have the occasional ant or roach that gets in but will eventually kill-off (rare, but happens once a year). Spray does not stain, so if you have kids, and are avoiding any areas they may touch, you can hit the high corners inside and behind appliances. I used to have a major ant problem (when we moved into home) and it was eliminated within 2 weeks.
