I wasn't too sure about using this spray but as soon as I received it today I put it to use. I did all the windows, door frames and the entire perimeter around the house. As I was spraying I was shocked by the amount of spiders trying to escape. There must have been at least 5-7 per window hiding in the corners where its impossible to see. Its been just 3 hours since I used this spray and its already bring out all the little critters to die. THANKS!

This product has amazed me! Pet safe, truly NO SMELL, dries fairly quick. I sprayed everything down 7 days ago and haven’t seen a roach since!

I must express that this really seems to be working! After having pest control come out 2 months ago, I had begun to see an increase in roaches returning. (apt building issues) and it disgusts me! This also kills on the spot!

Definitely going to keep using to be proactive and would recommend this to everyone!! Also was quick delivery and wrapped 3x in protective wrap so it did not leak during shipping!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but buy more than one bottle to cover any significant area
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2014
Size: 24-OunceVerified Purchase
I purchased this because of a hug spider issue I had in my basement. I would tear down all webs to discover the next day they were all re-spun. I had thought of using a bug bomb however I wanted to try something more simple first. This seemed to meet my needs. I sprayed the entirety of the rafters and outside boards. The spiders that were directly sprayed seemed to get lethargic instantly and all others ran away from the mist. Immediately after I tore down all webs and set down many sticky traps. If this spray failed to kill any bug it would have showed up in the sticky traps. After five weeks, nothing so far has showed up. I was afraid this would only make the spiders migrate to other parts of the house, however I haven't seen this happen. It does seem to kill nearly everything. I am weary of the long term effectiveness this will have. The instructions say it works for nonporous surfaces, but it was all sprayed on wood and concrete. I will update in six months for that. I like how it's odorless and is safe for animals and kids once dry. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has a bug infestation because it kills nearly every insect I've heard of in North America. One downside is the bottle doesn't cover much. If you have an average sized house and want to cover more than just a perimeter, order two bottles, I had to.
Pros:
Odorless
No Residue
Highly Effective
Cons:
... More like a recommendation, it should come in larger portions. If I wanted to treat every room of the house and maybe a garage, I would expect to go through three or four bottles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kills insects quickly, no smell, bottle could have a better "stream" mode
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2015
Size: 24-OunceVerified Purchase
Kills bugs dead. Takes a few moments to really get them, but they react immediately and die within a minute or two. I wish the bottle's sprayer had a bit more power, especially in the stream mode, so it could get more distance. The previous bottle could get a direct stream for over 6-8 feet. This one is certainly close in… a bit too close in some cases. But it's effective. And, I do find that the bugs tend to avoid the area for a while after the initial spraying. That's a nice, and rare, quality.

This product works! I live in a former horse country now city area but the fly, spider & ant problems abound in the summer like crazy! I like how it's odorless and has a nice directed spray spout. I spray inside and out every window track, door entrance and sliding glass door track and the annoying spiders, ants an flys are done for! The product lasts for about a month and it doesn't leave any residue but I still wipe the area and re-apply. Price point in comparison to other stores is good. Highly recommend.

I had a serious ant problem. I wasn't sure where they were coming from, and ant traps only did so much. I sprayed this product on the back of the house and within 24 hours, there were no more ants. I live in a rowhome, so I could only access the back-side perimeter of the house, but it worked like a charm. I am going to spray the front, as I did see one ant upstairs, but I could not imagine any product working better.

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024

I live in a building almost 100 years old, and there are plenty of roaches in the walls. I've tried everything, including weekly visits from the professional exterminator. But the only thing that has really, completely worked for me is this Ortho Home Defense. Even though it is supposed to have a lasting effect for months, I use it monthly in my kitchen, under the sink, under the stove and refrigerator. I also use it on the pipes in the bathroom. Ever since using this, I have NEVER, EVER seen a roach, not even a baby, which is great news because, as they say, "where there is smoke, there's fire." I highly recommend this wonderful, inexpensive product. By the way, I've also found a few dead spiders that I didn't even know I had since using Ortho Home Defense.

Can’t give a fair review as I only used it once after finding one big roach. May have been a one timer since I didn’t see anymore. But the product was easy to use and didn’t have a strong smell.

I've been using this for years, and it's obvious if I miss a year. I spray outside around the base of our home and inside along baseboards. Window sills, door jams, basement and garage get sprayed too. All it takes is once per year and we have no issues with pests in our country home.
