Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer for Indoor & Perimeter2 with Comfort Wand, Controls Ants, Roaches, and Spiders, 1.1 gal

I purchased this, and I purchase the peppermint to put in it to reduce the smell. Also because I was told pest do not like the smell of peppermint. I highly, highly, highly recommend this product for keeping all pest away. I will never be without it. Where I live there are a lot of trees and those large water bugs. This keeps everything away. Do not spray it and stay in the area. Spray, leave the area for a while. The peppermint really helps.

This works! I moved to a new apartment with lots of trees and bushes near my unit. During my first week at the new place, I found at least one spider a day. After I almost walked into a spider hanging from my ceiling one morning, I needed something to repell these house guests. I sprayed once around my front and back doors, just to see if that would help. A week later, the number of encounters with bugs drastically decreased (went from one spider a day to one spider a week!). I will be doing another spray before I leave for a week long trip.

This is the first time I used a battery-powered spray jug. Wow! I love it. Is the battery-powered wand worth the extra money? I say YES. I can treat my entire house at a brisk pace, without the constant hassle of manually pressurizing the container. And, I get a more consistent application volume.I did not rate this product 5 stars because it did not provide instructions regarding battery replacement. When this jug is empty, I intend to purchase a more reasonably priced refill. I don't want the lifespan of this item to be determined by a battery.Also, my wand did not feature a "pinstream" option, for crack & crevice application. Instead, it offered two versions of "fanspray."Suggestion to Ortho: I don't need two "OFF" positions on the wand. Please add a "pin stream" option for indoor safety and neatness.

I just opened it today and discovered that the wand is broken.Extremely disappointed.I'm still giving the product 5 Stars because I use it every year to spray around the baseboards inside of our house.This product is great.Just a little bit of spray in the spring lasts all year long.It's very effective.The battery operated sprayer is easy to use.No pumping.The base of the jug is rectangular and just wide enough not to tip over.So it fits

Omg I love this stuff. I moved into a new place that’s surrounded by trees. It’s gorgeous, but with that comes big tree roaches. I was getting one coming in on a weekly basis!! Luckily I have cats, so I would only find them once they were dead. But I CANT deal with roaches and they are everywhere in the south, especially as it gets warmer.The first time I sprayed, I didn’t see one for almost 4 weeks. When another one got in, I did a touch up and haven’t seen another one since. Probably best to do maintenance spraying every few months! At least that’s what I’ve decided to do.This stuff has brought me so much peace of mind!! Cause those things are HUGE and I couldn’t continue living like that!

Live on Maui - couldn't get rid of ants. Applied Ortho 12months with turkey baster - Upon applicatiomn all bugs disappearded within seconds. Am absolutely thrilled - tried all kinds of ant insecticide - nothing worked well.

So I used this like last week to get rid of spiders by my window. They keep setting up shop there. I went back today and sprayed again, expecting them to be back. Because that’s the usual for when I spray some repellents. After it dries, their webs are back up. But it wasn’t even one spider there. And it was some big ones before(california big. Not Australia). So I didn’t fully spray. Just one area but I quickly realized no spiders so I stopped.So this is a short term review. I’m going to set a reminder in my phone to check it in 3 months. I know it is advertised to last longer. But I want to check it at 3 month intervals, to see if it’s still working. Of course if it rains, the experiment is over lol. So I’ll come back in 3 months for an update.Mid Edit:As of 09/10/23, there’s still no spiders. And there are no huge spiders around where I live. Like a tarantula, wolf, or huntsman. Not that I’ve seen at least. This is a spider repellent review. Not a flamethrower review lol. And it rained from the hurricane/tropical storm that passed recently. I guess it didn’t hit the area directly or it wasn’t enough to wash it away. So that’s good it lasted this long. I’ll come back near the end of October for one final update. But I’m already sold with it lasting over a month.10/23/23Final update. Still no spiders outside my window. So it works for at least 3 months, which is good for me.One thing, don’t spray it in high bug areas like outside trash cans. I sprayed my outside trash cans because I don’t like touching spider webs when taking out the trash. Next time I’ll just spray the handles or something. Because there were so many more flies in and around the trash after there were no spiders left around there to catch them. So just be mindful of that. AND, it didn’t repel the flies. So it worked for spiders, not for the house flies.Edit: 05/05/2024I had no intentions of doing another edit. But I was so impressed I had to. I went out to spray my window again just now. And there were no spiders or other insects where I sprayed. No spider webs or anything. After rains, winds, time, and it’s living up to the claims so far of being long lasting defense. I just thought that was cool. This is the last update though. Because I sprayed it again even though it wasn’t needed. I was trying to see if a spider would come running out from where I couldn’t see it or something. lol nothing ran out. I wish it worked better for flies. But this is a must to keep handy if you deal with a lot of spiders. Oh. Side note. It hasn’t messed up my paint either. But this is a case by case basis. Do a spot check on your intended surface to test it first, if concerned. Ok. That’s all. Thank you for reading. Have a good dayedit: June 1, 2024.I sprayed in the doorway because spiders kept going there. They would come every couple of weeks. I sprayed and within 2 days I saw 3 spiders right where I sprayed. Didn't phase them at all. The daddy long leg ones. Not sure why it works so well for the outside spiders and not for the long legs. But hey. If I had to choose which spiders I wanted to stay away, it's definitely the ones outside. still disappointed though.
