Would RecommendWe were having some spider problems, even though our house is new and not in a wooded area. That's just Alabama for you...I read the reviews on this product, and thought I'd give it a go. It's so easy to use with the wand, I only sprayed the outside perimeter of my home, and within 2 hours I've found 4 dead spiders. This may not seem like many to some of you, but to me 4 is like 400. I hate those things. I will update later; unfortunately we sprayed right before a rain, so I fear we might have t...
No effect on Florida's Palmetto bugs and
Would Not RecommendThe spray wand stopped working the second time I tried to use the product. And it seems to have no effect on American roaches (Palmetto bugs). Very disappointed.

Good Product
Would RecommendI have used this for a few years. Definitely seems to make a significant difference in the number of ants and spiders that make it into the house. A lot less make it in for sure.

Bug Buster
Would RecommendThe wife really dislikes spiders and this stuff takes care of that. Use it twice a year, in the spring and fall. Spray around the outside of the house and the inside. Will not stain our floors or walls. Use it all over the house, around the doorways and the windows.

It works!
Would RecommendI just stocked up on this product. Great deal to buy one and get a free refill! We still have some left over from last year, so have not tried this new batch out yet. Living here in the Mojave desert, we get lots of different kinds of bugs with the little red ants being the most annoying. We sprayed this all around the base of our house, around doors and windows, and it really seemed to help. They have changed the sprayer with this new batch , so will see if it is easier to use. My Husband is ...

Home Defense Max Pest Control
Would RecommendI love the product as you can use it inside and out but the battery life in the wand only lasts one season. I changed the batteries however, I bought a new bottle with the new wand.

Actual product is good, but the sprayer quit
Would Not RecommendThe sprayer quit before I used a fourth of the product. Returned it to Lowes. The whole idea is to not have to mix and use garden sprayer. I carried it back And bought concentate from Bayer to finish The other 90% of my home

Have to use it more often than it says.
Would Not RecommendI bought this product before. My husband past away 7 months ago in June. So now I am doing things I haven't had to do before. I love the design and it's easy to use. However, I have to use it quite often. It doesn't last as long as it says it does. I would say I have to use it every time I am doing yard work.

This is a repeat purchase for me.
Would RecommendI use Home Defense several times a year, mostly in spring and late fall. I spray inside the house along the baseboards, around windows, along outside walls, and around outside door facings. No odors, no stains! We're prone to attracting crickets, ants, and spiders year 'round so this has been a very effective deterrent for us. I'd recommend it for anyone who battles these types of insects. Outside I spray around the same doors and windows, as well as under-the-house vents and crawl-space doors. ...
