Steph.
5.0 out of 5 starsIT WORKS VERY WELL - IF YOU USE IT CORRECTLY
September 16, 2018
This is a solid product.

This is not designed for infestations or ant hills. It is a product designed to prevent entry of insects into your residence and eliminate individual insects that have entered. While this may help the odd case of colonized insects, it really is made for those solo runners that snuck in when you weren't looking.

If you have an infestation or a mess, your insects are doing more than entering your house, they are living in it. Perhaps if it was sprayed around the house like the floors were being watering your floors it would work on infestations...but, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT, it wasn't designed for that use nor was that dosage tested for human/animal exposure. Consider calling an exterminator for infestations (100s+, colonies, groups of insects, etc.). And as for ant hills, either remove them, or buy poison for ant mounds. Are there ant hills in your home? That seems like a different problem.

After you've taken care of cleaning things up, then protect your residence from the entry of new insects. You'll see this product is WONDERFUL FOR THE JOB. I've used it for years, one home in a very wooded, shaded area, one home in the south. Works like a charm...spraying as others have mentioned...seasonally.

This product works by leaving a residue, so if what you spray it on (baseboard, perimeter of home covered in leaves in the fall, edge of home outside, etc.) is cleaned, blown away, excessively rained on...some or all of that residue will be removed...particularly overtime. Be aware of your specific situation and adjust your application frequency accordingly.

IF YOU CREATE A BARRIER, THEY WILL NOT ENTER. (Read the label for all the insects covered...it's extensive.)

1. Clean up your outside and inside space a little of non-permanent items, pulling things from the perimeter (toys, anything that shouldn't be on the floor or ground basically). Eliminate debris and items in which insects hide, make webs, etc.
2. Spray the OUTSIDE perimeter and along the border of every door and window.
3. Spray the INSIDE perimeter, along the base boards, of your whole house (closets, pantries, bathrooms included). Then spray a barrier between rooms (around the door frame).

Lastly, I understand the frustration that might occur if your wand or applicator never came. Exchange it with Amazon, try a spray bottle, etc.

I've been using this with pets. Label says that IT MUST DRY BEFORE IT IS OK WITH PETS. Please remove them from the area while you apply. If you have a pet roach or tarantula I don't know what to tell you.

All the best, and good luck with your application.

1.0 out of 5 starsDoesn’t work
September 26, 2018
I basically dumped this all over my patio because we had tons of ants and the next morning there were still ants. And they’re like the tiny little slow ants, not big daddy ants, I thought By the amount I poured everywhere that this would kill ants for months to come (as it GUARANTEES IT WILL) but it couldn’t even keep them away for one night. Not impressed.

Size: 1.33 GALStyle: RefillVerified Purchase
I moved into a new apartment in Texas that had a roach infestation beyond anything I had ever seen. It took me about 45 days and four of these bottles to rid the infestation, but I must say that it cleared the entire half of my apartment building not just my unit. So this stuff works,

September 19, 2019
Size: 1.33 GALStyle: RefillVerified Purchase
Finally a refill without the wand that we all know has stopped functioning over the last year or so. I love Ortho Home Defense, it's been working for me for years against ants, silver fish and keeps the flying insects away on the outside of my door, although it doesn't mention keeping you bug free from all bugs, this item certainly does. With a super cheap pump type holder and wand to pour the Ortho into, you're good to go and will have months and months of protection.

Size: 1.33 GALStyle: RefillVerified Purchase
I don't know about poison's; all I know is that this one works. I spray around my house once a year and I no longer have any issues with ants, roaches, etc.. The only thing that comes in are the stink-bugs, because they fly over the poison barrier.

Works great. We use it twice a year. No termites, no ants , not other bugs. Neighbors pay for a service man. We save hundreds of $$$. Well worth it.

I love it, but the basement bugs don't.
Don't know where they went, found some carcasses, but I no longer see any bugs, Using about once every 4 months as basement perimeter spray for giant fat crickets and some crawling eyebrows.

5.0 out of 5 starsHome Defense Insect Killer is easy to use and spray is safe around our pet
June 29, 2018
Size: 1.33 GALStyle: RefillVerified Purchase
Home Defense Insect Killer is easy to use and spray is safe around our pet. It dries fairly quickly and keeps bugs out of the house. Try to keep a decent line of defense around the entire house on the outside as well as on the inside. Works great keep bugs out.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks As It Says, Great Product
October 12, 2017
Size: 1.33 GALStyle: RefillVerified Purchase
Always does the job, and nothing is more satisfying than seeing curled up black widows around the foundation of your home and knowing they'll never make it inside your house. I've never used the product inside my home, but doing the perimeter treatment every 3-4 months has done a great job for us.
