What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the rapid kill-on-contact effectiveness against fleas, ticks, and bed bugs, with many reporting complete infestation resolution after consistent application. Reviewers consistently highlight the convenient sprayer design with precise targeting capability, allowing thorough coverage in hard-to-reach areas like baseboards and under furniture. The lightweight mechanism and light scent are frequently commended as major advantages. Many users also report unexpected success against ants and spiders. A small subset reports limited effectiveness or concerns about dosage clarity, but most customers find it highly effective for comprehensive pest control.

Would RecommendThis product works great after cleaning and Washing everything in my house and spraying I haven’t seen a bug or been bitten

I can sleep with shorts on!
Would RecommendEvery summer I get bed bug bites. Leaving me to always sleep in leggings, calf length socks, and a light jacket in the dead heat of summer just so I won't get bitten. It sucks because I had purchased my brand new mattress 3 years ago and got those devil bugs 6 months later. This year I've had enough. I bought mattress and box spring covers(that prevent ans seal off the bugs), new bedding, and this spray. Maybe it was a combination of doing all 3 but since then I have only been bitten twice, and ...

It works
Would RecommendPurchased this a month ago and I am grateful that I did! We can sleep with confidence! It’s been two weeks and I haven’t seen or felt anything! Gonna give it another treatment just in case. I bought two bottles so that I could have a back up when the first one is finished.

Works okay-ish
Would Not RecommendUsed this on all our bedding, around all carpeted areas, and along the baseboards, but there's still a couple of stragglers that JUST... WONT... DIE!!!

Refund?
Would Not RecommendI've went through 2 of these and still have bed bugs. . this product does not kill the eggs. I have sprayed every inch of my bedroom/bed and surrounding rooms even though the only place I've found evidence of bedbugs is in my bedroom, and I still have them...

Flea and tick at its best
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thank goodness do not have bed bugs but do go camping with flea and ticks being awful. I sprayed this all around. With the warmer seasonal temps been a little rough (well until our snow storm and artic chill) this kept them away with no issues

It works if u do it right
Would RecommendI bought this hoping it would work after many many things that didn't. It works. Thank ortho. Use it three times mandatory. You will be amazed.

Disappointed
Would Not RecommendI bought this stuff as soon as I realized I had bedbugs and started spraying everything in my bedroom down. A month later, after spraying every other day, I still have bedbugs and they seem to be getting worse. It does nothing to the nests, only kills live visible bedbugs on contact.

Ortho Home Defense Max Bed Bug, Flea & Tick Killer
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the primary focus of the Ortho Home Defense Max Bed Bug, Flea & Tick Killer product labeling appears to be bed bugs, it was used for flea control. We have never had flea issues in the 17 years we have had dogs, but suddenly noticed our pug itching, then noticed why...fleas. This product was used as a part of our flea resolution. The spray wand helps ensure you are placing product where you want it.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Works great and kills in contact
Would RecommendI bought this and used it two weeks ago. It's safe for your and pets and works very very well. Kills on contact will be using again soon
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Great product
Would RecommendI used several products, and I had no releif for the first 2 days. I felt hopeless. Then, I came across this product. I figured why not. I saw an almost immediate reduction in the home. The pest control company came out, and they said I was doing everything right. They said keep going with the Ortho product because it's a good product, and they couldn'tfind any adult bedbugs since I was already on top of it. I steamed furniture and walls. Now, I following up with the powder. Thank you.

Bed bugs be gone
Would RecommendI bought this spray today and I watched 4 bedbugs stiffen up as if they were having a seizure
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Highly Recommend
Would RecommendWe bought this a little over a month ago and it has worked so good. It really has made a big difference. We sprayed the entire house on the first time and then again two weeks later. Didn't see any but sprayed again a week later anyway. It has been a week since we last sprayed and we just saw our first bedbug today. The first one we have seen since the first spray. We were really really infested! I ordered another one a couple days ago and we should be getting it any day now. We plan on doing th...

Ortho Home Defense Max Bed Bug and Flea Killer
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do not have bed bugs but we do have a lot of ourdoor pets and used this product to control fleas in our pets outdoor bedding and it has worked great this far. I am pleased with the results and will continue using this product.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Super helpful
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, our yard has a huge tick problem. Topical dog treatments only work so well. We had to do something. After treating our yard and home perimeter, we had such an amazing summer and fall outdoors. I usually avoid spraying chemicals in our yard, but we really had to do something. I am so happy we did!

Love it
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My friend has been fighting bed bugs for eons. Doesn't matter what she does she can't keep them gone. She also can't afford to be getting new stuff wverytime there is an outbreak of them. I decided to grt this and bunch of bombs to get rid of the suckered once and for all. We did a weekend of bombing her apartment and spraying. This stuff works awesome! I know this stuff works cause we are using it weeks later after bombing and its killing the ...
