Ortho Home Defense Max Bed Bug, Flea and Tick Killer with Comfort Wand - Ready To Use Insect Spray for Home, Kills Bed Bug Eggs, Fleas & Ticks, 1 gal.

I don't leave reviews often.. but this product is worth it.. I had fleas in my apt. Guess they were coming in from outside because I don't have pets.. I couldn't even go in my kitchen and bathroom w/o getting attacked by fleas.. I felt like a prisoner in my own home.. I tried several other products, they helped some but they didn't get rid of them.. I read the reviews on this product, crossed my fingers and ordered.. let me say the setup is easy and the sprayer is phenomenal!!!.. I sprayed my bathroom and kitchen down.. sprayed baseboards and around my hot water heater.. Anywhere where I thought they could be coming in.. Day 2 of using and not a flea on me so far.. this stuff did in 2 days what I had been trying to do for weeks.. And it doesn't have that loud bug spray smell.. it's pleasent, dries quickly, doesn't leave a bad residue and IT WORKS!! And you get a decent amount of product for the cost! If you have a flea problem. I highly recommend!!

I rarely leave reviews but I felt the need to for this product. I’ve been dealing with a flea infestation for the past week and would get bit nonstop. After browsing for a bit I saw this product and the reviews were pretty good so I caved in. Let me just say, this will be worth your money. My flea infestation has been a nightmare but I was able to treat my dog before all. This should be your main goal if you have pets as they’re the main targets. I got my dog on vet approved Nexgard (life changing but expensive) and that has helped a lot. However, my bed, my rugs, even my couch were impossible to walk around without feeling like you’re getting ate alive (the fleas). Then I sprayed this thing all over, the crevices that did not have furniture. I live alone so I’m unable to move the bigger stuff without possibly developing an hernia. I just sprayed around basically. Although, I definitely recommend moving all furniture because the product requires direct contact to kill the fleas. By the next day, I could see a BUNCH of dead fleas on my rug, and even more after vacuuming. After that I’ve been able to walk around with minimal biting which is to be expected, it has only been two days. But it has been so good at bringing me a peace of mind that something is improving. I’m having pest control visit this week just to have the pros do their thing since the infestation is crazy. But I will admit this product has allowed me not to hate being at my apartment. It will be gross if your case is as bad as mine, but you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. I used a bottle for my carpeted bedroom and hallway, and still had plenty left to cover the living room, couch, and bathroom! I bought more because of how good it’s been (a total of three bottles). It has worked great considering I haven’t been as thorough as I wished (can’t move the heavy stuff). The places that you spray will kill the fleas, and every other bug living with you. You should vacuum before you use the spray for best results. Give it 24 - 48 hours to sit in your rug before vacuum so that the chemicals properly settled. Vacuum again and voila! Always make sure to toss out flea related trash immediately because they are parasites and will reproduce in your bin/vacuum if not cleaned properly. I hope this helps anyone! I live alone with my dog and haven’t had a day of peace in the past week until I saw the spray working. I understand how frustrating and expensive the experience is, so just know it does get better if you try your best!

I have several cats, and I didn't know we had fleas. My Shark vacuum broke, and while I waited for parts to come, my house became infested. My cats were acting crazy by sleeping in my top loader washer, shower, and kitchen table. It was so bad that fleas were crawling all over me and even got into my bed. I didn't know why I had an itchy rash on my legs and why my legs were starting to swell. I took a flea comb and ran it through one of my cats, and it had tons of fleas crawling on the comb. We had a major infestation. I was mortified! From what I've read, if you have a problem this bad, you will need an exterminator. That was not an option for me. I just couldn't afford that kind of expense. I had to find a way I could do something that wouldn't kill my cats. You will need a powerful vacuum before you start. Preferably something with a HEPA filter. You will need to vacuum "at least 3 times as long as you normally would" before you start, and move all your furniture. I sprayed it on my couch and under my couch cushions. The vibration of the vacuuming makes the larvae hatch, so be prepared. You may need to spray (at least the carpet) every 2 weeks with Ortho because they will keep hatching. I suggest getting 2 bottles of Ortho to start if your problem is this bad. I am already on my 4th bottle, but the fleas are almost gone. Vacuum the hard floors too. Vacuum as often as you have time for, and for longer than you normally would. Shake the bottle well before each time you spray. Ortho has a pleasant smell. When I would come home from work, I was shocked at how nice my house smelled. There was no nasty chemical smell to this stuff. After the first spray, things got way under control, and I wasn't loaded with bites anymore. I bought this and Tekko Pro IGR, which is an insect birth control with a cheap hand-pump garden sprayer. I made a gallon of Tekko Pro in the garden sprayer and locked up my cats. I vacuumed the whole house and scrubbed all the hard floors first with pine cleaner. Dump your vacuum outside and never leave dirt in your vacuum. As I cleaned sections of the house, I sprayed both the Tekko Pro and the Ortho on the whole carpet and hard floors. I took my foot and rubbed it into the carpet and made sure it was damp. I have several box fans and turbo fans, and I blew them on the floor to dry it. I have ceiling fans and I turned them on too. You want this stuff to dry. I even sprayed the sides of my mattress and box spring like you would for bed bugs. You can open or crack your windows open while it dries. I bought Nitenpyram powder and capsules (generic Capstar) and learned how much I should put in a capsule. That pill is given daily. I also bought Lufenuron capsules and powder, and learned how much should go in a #4 capsule for cats. I mark on the calendar when I give the Lufenuron because that one is given monthly. If you do these things, you will really get your problem under control. There is way less scratching and chewing going on with my cats. I keep combing them looking for fleas. It's rare that I even find one flea. The comb is not for removing fleas. It's for checking for fleas and flea dirt. You can NOT use a flea comb and think this will eliminate your problem. You'll be in a heap of trouble if you don't listen to me. I hope if you have fleas, you listen to what I've told you, and you can get your problem under control. Make sure you wet down your whole carpet and behind things like dressers and bookcases that you can't move. You can't miss any of the carpet or floors. In open spaces, rub it into the carpet with your shoe. Make sure it's dry before you let your cats back in. If you do it in sections, it will dry much faster. I even sprayed it on pet beds after vacuuming or washing them. Just make sure they are completely dry before you give them back. You can spray down pet bedding every 2 weeks. You can throw the pet beds in the dryer weekly for 30 minutes, too. That makes a big difference. I sprayed my house with the 1st wand with each new bottle. So if you buy more like I did, save them all in case one won't spray. If you have any left from the first bottle, add it to your new bottles. Don't waste anything.

I bought this my husband dog got fleas I wasn't taking the chance to have fleas in the house I used this every week once out of the week I spray in corners ,cracks so far I haven't seem no fleas you have to stay on course with this yes I said this is very good to used.

UPDATE... it's now been a few wks since I started treatments in their room, and the difference is HUGE. We have seen a handful but mostly dead ones. I spray almost every night around the mattresses, no new bites, and I can say I'm pretty sure we won't have to call an exterminator! WOW!!!!! This product saved us from contemplating a $500 extermination. Upon returning from a recent vacation, we noticed what seemed like an infestation in my boys bedroom. They were in the headboard, and seemed to come from a crack in the wall, there were black speckles all over the baseboard. We hadn't seen them in any other room, and assumed this was an isolated area. Threw out all their bedding except the mattresses because they had protected covers, and purchased this immediately. The reviews seemed pretty good, the only thing people were complaining about was the wand being defective. Who cares, I would dump this on targeted spots if I had to! Kudos to Amazon, it was delivered literally within 12 hours of me ordering it, and I got to work right away. My wand worked as expected, and I was able to target the areas where I thought the infestation was coming from. The winning moment was catching a few strays as they scurried for safety, they were dead on contact with one spray. I'm not saying that this product will work for everyone, God knows bedbugs are a nuisance and can be so small it's hard to know with certainty that you've eliminated the problem. But this product is a great start in combating them, and I feel like as long as your whole home isn't crawling with them you will find the same success we had.

It’s unfortunate that I had to buy it because who wants bedbugs? But it really works. We found out my son had an infestation of bedbugs. It kills them instantly and after tearing apart his room and using this product, we were able to get rid of them. Unfortunately, now they’ve made it to my room, so I’m working on that. But bugs are almost impossible to get rid because they’re so smug and arrogant. But this actually helps. The nozzle works very well and sprays evenly. there’s a slight smell, but not too bad. I’ll continue to have this on hand.

We've had a bed bug problem apparently brought here on a chair from a nursing home. We used the Ortho product by the gallons, and it seemed to work. 6- 8 months later the demon bugs were back. This time in other locations, and no amount of Ortho spray seemed to phase them. I never liked their sprayer nozzzle which just seems to spit out large drops no matter how the tip is set, so fine control into crevices and the like isn't possible. Encasing mattresses has done more than this spray did over the long haul. Switching to alternate insecticide formulas & brands currently..

I cannot say enough good about this product. I have had flea problems in the past and I know what a task it is and how to get rid of them. It is no easy chore. One of the most difficult parts, is finding a product that actually works. I know how to prep before spraying or fogging. It is essential that you vacuum and vacuum well and pull furniture out from walls before you bomb or use any type of flea product. So of course I did that. I truly had an infestation at this point in time. You couldn't be in the room for more than a minute and they were crawling all over your legs. It was awful at night during the day all the time it was just getting worse. It got out of control in less than a week. So I have ordered exterminators to come to the house in the past. And they have had to come back multiple times to get rid of the flea problem. It's just one of those issues that you know it's going to be a while to get rid of. At least in my experience. I did my research and I believe Precor Foggers are one of the best Foggers on the market. But there again you'll probably have to use the product after 2 weeks of using the product the first time. But I am not for sure on this as it is my first time that I have purchased procore Foggers. While waiting for the Foggers to get to the house with a 3-day delivery I became impatient and noticed that I could buy the product bed bug and flea control and have it delivered the same day. To boot it was only 20 bucks. What could I have to lose. At least I could spray the damn bed and carpet and maybe get one night of sleep without getting attacked by bed bugs. That was all that I expected out of this cheap product or so I thought. I truly cannot say enough good things about this product. As I said I am currently waiting for my father's to arrive which will be tomorrow. At this point I honestly don't even know if I need them. I can't even believe that I am saying that right now. I bought one gallon and I addressed two of the rooms that were most significant with the flea infestation. I vacuumed very well pulled everything out from the walls and began spraying. I am telling you that within 2 hours I did not feel a thing crawling or see anything jumping around. I do not even believe my own words right now. I have adequate adequately sprayed both rooms with one gallon and even had a chance to do the hallways in the house that I was walking to and from those rooms. Just to make certain. I cannot find one damn flea in this house. I am simply amazed and flabbergasted that this product has single-handedly combated my infestation of two rooms with only one gallon and even had left over to do area rugs in the hallways. There is not one bug living in this house. There is not one bug on my dog. There is not one bug in my bed. I slept like a baby last night without any interference for the first time in weeks. I was able to walk around my room this morning and not a single flea had jumped on me not one nor have I been able to find one anywhere in this house. I simply have to say this product is an absolute winner and a must buy. I have stubborn fleas I always do when I get an infestation it was due to negligence of my roommate who forgot to put flea spray on his cats for 2 months and brought fleas into the house and it quickly developed into an infestation Within those two months then it was attacking my dog who I give advantage to and never has fleas my dog began to get infested even while taking the advantage monthly application and I've had to give him two or three flea baths a week to keep up so when I tell you it was an infestation I do not make light of the situation. I have had them before in my life and know how difficult it is to get rid of. I I'm not sure if I will have to reapply in 2 weeks but at this point I couldn't be happier. I did buy another gallon just to make sure I have it on hand at all times for 20 bucks who would be stupid enough not to buy this A1 product. Don't waste your money with any other more expensive or powders or other products this was the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. It couldn't have been more effective and the price you can't beat do yourself a favor save yourself the headaches get the same day delivery like I did and put your troubles to rest you will not be disappointed this stuff is fantastic my hat's off to ortho for a fine product better than the exterminators I've had in the past by far I just don't understand how this product has surpassed all others that I've used in all other services that I've used hands down the best.

Guys honestly.... THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!! I have tried so many different products after my daughter in law came back from a night at her mothers! No end of sprays, washing everything at 90° & spending a fortune. I caught some bed bugs in an air tight container and put a tiny bit of spray in the pot. They DIED INSTANTLY! I will buy another one just in case and have it on standby. Not sure if it kills the eggs as I vacuumed everything thoroughly before I sprayed. I am one VERY HAPPY customer 😊

Well , i have seen so many poor reviews for this product - mostly about the technical aspect of the pump. I can say, i used this dispenser , over several weeks until I ran out of product and never had a problem with the electronic dispenser (pump) . I have now even bought my own powder product , mixed it with water and decanted it in to the empty container . It is continuing to work perfectly.

It is absolutely not worth the money to purchase this product. In other words, after spraying against bedbugs eight times, it does not help at all, they are still there. I would not recommend purchasing this product at all!
