Would RecommendBy using this product we don't have a issue with pests in or outside the house.

Effective product, unfortunately the battery powered sprayer does not work properly. This is the second bottle purchased this year...both had the same issue. The automatic spray nozzle does not allow the product to flow consistently. I would recommend the product with a manuel pump.

Doesn't appear to kill bugs
Would Not RecommendI've used this product for several years. The most recent product doesn't seem to be as effective in killing bugs even when sprayed directly on them.

Don't waste your money
Would Not RecommendDon't waste your money on this. I bought it because there was a promotion to get a free refill with purchase. But that was a big mistake. I have sprayed this stuff directly on earwigs, rolly pollies, beatles, and spiders and they just keep crawling. The only thing that it seemed to kill on contact if I sprayed enough of it was the little black ants. But if you spray enough on anything on the little ants it gonna drown them out. It also does not do what is says it will do which create a defensi...

Ortho Home Defense Max Insect Killer
Would RecommendI've been using this product for a couple of years now and it gets the job done without leaving stains or odors. And it is reasonably priced. I like the battery powered sprayer also.

Have used for years
Would RecommendWorks great! Really like the new battery operated pump model. A little heavy but ok. Spray completly around outside of house. Then spray inside around pipes and anywhere you see bugs. Then wait for them to die off.

It worked.
Would RecommendAnts were finding their way into my bedroom and crawling on the walls. I couldn't find the exact spot where they were getting inside. After trying a couple of home remedies that didn't work, I caved and bought Ortho Home Defense Max Wand and sprayed the cement foundation where it meets the brick. The max wand worked very well. Within a couple of days, no more ants. My only hesitation is is that I would rather not use pesticides. It didn't take very much product to spay the entire foundation, so ...
