4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!, September 15, 2009

By	Kelli A. Haley "Kelli" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'll start off by saying the only reason I rated this 4 instead of 5 stars is that it does have a mild lingering smell that lasted about half a day. Not completely unpleasant... sort of made my living room smell like a pool. My husband didn't notice it, however.

The house was being overrun by huge spiders to the point where I didn't go without shoes. We sprayed the interior and exterior foundations, and a few webs/nests directly about 2 weeks ago. Haven't seen the spiders since.

Our house is also being resided and the bushes out front were torn up. Even after all of this I only found 3 bugs in my house, 2 were dead and one was twitching and almost there.

I don't know if the application in the bad reviews was incorrect or what, but it most certainly worked in our case. We put it on with somewhat of a heavy hand, but still didn't even come close to using even half the bottle doing inside, outside, and garage.

Use this product. Will save literally hundreds of dollars vs. the pros.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sprayer design is dangerous, July 26, 2009

By	William F (AZ, USA) - See all my reviews

I was spraying outside when the base of the handle split apart, the spring and plunger came out in my hand splashing my leg with enough insecticide to soak my shorts and run down my leg into my shoe. Could have just as easily gotted sprayed in the mouth or eyes. This sprayer design is dangerous!
This insecticide does'nt seem to be very effective on my roaches or ants either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exterminates ants, June 15, 2009

Ortho Home Defense Max

Thousands of ants were transversing a path from a lawn area to our basement door. Those ants were finding their way into our kitchen.

This stuff killed the ants and other insects the instant the spray hit them. More ants appeared in the same location the very next day, even though that area had been heavily sprayed. Using the sprayer, those ants were wiped out. Also sprayed the lawn area where they seemed to come from. A few days later, no ants had reappeared. So, for our infestation, it worked.

Pulling the pump handle out puts the tank under pressure. Then, all you do is point the pistol-grip sprayer and pull the trigger. (You have to pull that handle every 10 seconds or so, as the pressure dissipates.) There is a 3' hose from the jug to the sprayer. No liquid gets on you, and since it doesn't atomize the liquid, you don't breathe the stuff or need a respirator.

The gallon + jug is akin to a huge can of Raid!
