Review: “Fast-Acting Protection – Truly Eliminates Insects Indoors” - I bought Ortho Home Defense Max to use inside my home, and I was impressed by how fast it works. From the first application, it started killing ants, roaches, spiders, and even fleas. The sprayer is easy to use, and the product dries quickly without leaving a strong smell. I noticed a huge difference right away—bugs stopped appearing, and the protective barrier lasts for days. It’s effective, convenient, and the 1-gallon size goes a long way. I 100% recommend it if you want to keep your home insect-free quickly and safely.
Review: A Must-Have for Anyone Dealing with Cockroaches – Especially in Florida! - Ignore the skeptics—this stuff absolutely works. My wife and I recently moved to Vero Beach, Florida, where cockroaches (politely called “palmetto bugs” here) are just a part of everyday life. Coming from Ohio, we were not prepared. These things are huge, fast, and while technically harmless, they’re still shocking to see crawling around your home. At one point, we were seeing multiple cockroaches inside every single day, and we knew we had to act fast. That’s when we found Ortho Home Defense Max, and it changed everything. We sprayed it around cracked and vulnerable areas—under the fridge, behind the stove, near baseboards, and along door thresholds. Since then? We’ve seen barely any. Maybe one or two stragglers in total, and that’s in a house that previously felt like a roach runway. To test how fast it actually works, we found one cockroach outside, trapped it under a glass bowl, and sprayed some of the product underneath. Within an hour, it was dead—completely flipped over on its back. That proved to us this isn’t just a long-term prevention spray—it’s a legitimate killer that starts working fast. What’s even better is that this spray doesn’t just kill on contact. It continues working over time. Roaches that encounter it can carry it back to their hiding places, infecting others and breaking the cycle at the source. Here’s our recommendation: ✔️ Spray it around common entry points and hidden crevices ✔️ Stay on top of cleanliness (no cardboard on floors, no food crumbs left behind, trash secured) ✔️ Let Ortho Home Defense Max do the rest If you’re new to Florida—or any place where cockroaches are common—and you’re horrified to find them in your home, this is the first product you should buy. And even if you’ve lived with them for years and think there’s no solution, try this. You’ll be amazed. Five stars. Hands down. Worth every penny—and a little bit entertaining, too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use it outdoors?**
A: I wouldnt recommend this one for outdoors.  It's really just sized for inside. When that fly creeps in cause you didn't shut the door fast enough lol! Really use for when you see something that got in somehow. I use the home defense. Thats for in/out side. The big gallon one red and white bottle. One good spray around house inside  OMG!  You won't see any ants nothing.  It's really amazing.  If you hate some much as a nat or ant or spider.  Honestly works on any bug wanna see a fly stop almost instantly.  One spray puts anything to the floor.  If it's still moving fighting for life.  Spray it again.  Bug no more.  Love it!

**Q: How long after it has dried does it take to see results? I still see roaches even after spraying a few days ago.**
A: Thank you for your question, Francisco. After an application of Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier, cockroaches that come in contact with the sprayed areas will die in 4-6 days. Here are some of our tips to help control cockroaches: Eliminate food sources by keeping the kitchen and other areas of the home free of food scraps. Clean up the kitchen after each meal and store food in tightly sealed metal, glass, or heavy plastic containers. Empty household garbage and pet litter regularly. Clean up water puddles or moist areas around the kitchen, basement, and other infested areas. Plug cracks around baseboards, shelves, cupboards, sinks, and pipes with putty or caulk. Feel free to contact our Consumer Services team at 866-324-9192 if we can be of any further assistance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is NOT Raid!
*by M***L on October 4, 2022*

It seems that most of the negative reviews are from customers who do not understand what this product is or how it works. Let me be clear: THIS. IS. NOT. RAID! It's actually better! Raid is a chemical substance that is designed to sicken and kill insects almost instantly upon contact. Which is great if you happen to see the bugs and spray them before they scurry away. But what about the other creepy crawlies that might be lurking elsewhere in your home? Bugs, especially ants and roaches, rarely travel alone. So if you see one, chances are there are others that have yet to reveal themselves. And Raid will only get rid of the bugs that you happen to find and spray yourself. Ortho, on the other hand, isn't designed to kill the bugs immediately. Instead, it infects the bugs with a slow-acting poison that might take hours or even days to actually kill them. How is this a good thing? Because it gives the bugs plenty of time to return to the colony and infect the others with the toxin that clings to their bodies. In my opinion this product is better than Raid because it doesn't require you to find the bugs yourself. Just spray around the areas where you have seen the most bug activity (i.e. basements, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.) and voila! The bugs are doomed. Granted, it takes time and patience. Depending on the severity of your infestation, it might take weeks or even months for your home to become completely bug-free. However, you should probably take into consideration that even an overpriced exterminator can't rid you of your bug problem in one quick visit. Most exterminators make frequent visits to your home where they will charge you out the nose just to spray down your living quarters with an almost identical product. Call me crazy, but I'd rather cut out the middle man and save a few Benjamins by doing it myself instead of paying a stranger to come into a house every week to do it for me. I hope this review clarifies any confusion that someone might have and provide future buyers with a better understanding of what they're actually paying for. Update: Something I forgot to mention in my original post is the importance of keeping a clean and dry home. The poison works by attacking the bugs' immune system and making them fatally ill. And just like humans require food and lots of fluids to recover when we're sick, so do bugs. Keeping your home dry and clean as possible will allow the extermination process to work much more efficiently.
