WARNING: You must read all label instructions and follow them. When you buy this product, you assume the risks.
MY THOUGHTS
The key to controlling the ant problem is to get rid of the colony. I used TERRO outside of my home, and sealed all the holes leading into my home. I then applied ORTHO in the perimeter and in key areas inside.

This is the most comprehensive video out of all reviews! - Навчання та стиль
Super well made, phenomenal video. Thanks for taking the time to make this, seriously…. Came in clutch!
I’m sorry I missed this Boss! I’m glad it helped!
been using this stuff for years (both of them). i live in the desert, so insects come in for the indoor climate no matter how clean your house is.
Thank you for that comment! Some people think that bugs come in because it’s dirty inside. Not true. They do look for a shelter from the weather in a lot of cases. For me, we’ve had lots of heavy rain this year, and the ants came in looking for food and shelter.

I live in Waikiki and I needed this video. It's phenomenal. My landlord says he sprays outside every 6 months but I have never seen him do it. I'm responsible for the inside. I just bought this exact jug w/nozzle. Many mahalos for such a well made and easy to understand video. 🌺
Thank you so much for explaining everything in detail
👍
This was better than the ones my so-called experts. This guy gives practical information. I appreciated it!
Thank you Boss!
Clear instructions. Very thorough. Good job.
Thank you Boss!
I have been using or is it for a while and it does really work, but this video was so helpful in the application!
Thank you. I am glad it helped.
Wanted to thank you for the video it was very helpful. We live in an older home and bugs are a constant problem this was very helpful.
Your welcome! I’m glad it helped.
Great videos, I enjoy the way you explains things
Thank you Boss! I am glad to help!
Thank you for a thorough and informative tutorial.
Welcome boss!
Prob the best explanation video. Ty!
Thank you Boss!
Great review! I use it as well and definitely works. 🙌🏾
Thank you!!! And thank you for sharing your experience with it!!!
does it work with germen roach?
It does, but if you live in a dense city or an area where there’s been a lot of use of pesticides it will not work. The cockroaches in those areas have build an immunity to it.
Great advice about sealing the house. However the next time you paint the house the paint WILL NOT cover Silicone, it will basically bead off
Excellent feedback!
Thanks, didn't think about doing it at night while everyone is sleeping!
Happy to help!
Thank you man, very informative, can’t wait to use in my new apartment
If using the battery powered sprayer, remove the tube from the container and using a cup filled with water, put the suction end of the tube into the cup and purge the tube and nozzle with water.
Thanks for sharing this tip
Your editing skills is awesome
Thank you! I’m glad it was enjoyable and helpful!
thank YOU! this really helps
Awesome! I’m happy to be of assistance.
This was very helpful. Thanks
Thank you Boss
Broooo you’re a life saver I love you!!!
Thanks Boss!
Thanks, tbh I forgot I had a family for a couple days and when I woke up today he told me to do the bug spray and left the house. I didn’t know the first thing on how to do it so this helped
I’m glad it helped.
Thank you! Great video!
Thanks! I’m happy to help!
Thanks for the instruction, I will start my bug control attack tomorrow, by the way I don't have a big bug problem but this video reminded me to spray for bug control. I guess Orthro is a good product.
Excellent Captain!!!
Thanks for the tip about sealing the exterior holes. I noticed there is many ants coming from the hole of a water valve. I sealed it.
Great job!
I had them in a valve, ac pipes and I did not show this in the video, but they where crawling up a wall and getting into a window. Crazy! They are gone now!
My sprayer was working. It still makes the noise like it is spraying but nothing comes out. I took it apart, made sure nozzel and bottle are both on and stuck a needle through the holes in case it was clogged but to no avail. Help please
@gecolon here’s a video that will walk you through some solutions that I made
m.ua-cam.com/video/9syeNxZMgtg/v-deo.html&pp=ygUUVW5jbG9nIG9ydGhvIHNwcmF5ZXI%3D
Thank you
Thanks a lot for this helpful video. Instead of buying the can with the more expensive sprayer, I think it is better to get the refill with a separate pump sprayer. it costs the same if you get a 1 gallon home Gardener sprayer
Awesome!
Great review, have a like and a comment!
Awesome! Thank you so much for your support. I’m glad I was able to help!
Thx!!
I've used Ortho Home Defense for years and it's a good immediate contact killer. But it sucks as a deterrent. I'll vacuum an entire army of ants, spray the trail, and soak the entrance that they came through and 15 minutes later they're back in the same area. Super frustrating so I'm gonna try Temprid Fx which is a commercial grade insecticide that is suppose to work a lot better.
If you spray outside it helps kill ants before they come in.
Thank you for sharing with this community!👍
Are you spraying this around room perimeter carpeting or hardwoord indoors or just kitchen/bathroom perimeters?
Thanks for the video. If you want to get rid of ants do the borax trick. I don't know the exact measurements, but it's a mixture of Borax, hot water and sugar mixed. Cotton balls on a paper plate on the floor and the ants take it back to the nest. In a few days . . . GONE!! I'm going to buy the Ortho for the other pests. Cheers!!
Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge @RZLAND!!!! 👍
Was wondering if the solution might cause discoloration ofnthe paint or siding?
Thorough an professional
Thank you! I hope it helped!!
Can you put it inside the kitchen cabinets and drawers where the spoons and forks and knives go? Sir
Dope video
Awesome! Thank you!
I HATE buying bottles of spray, without the tops, sealed! People can fill them with water, and take them back! You can be potentially buying water, and not Bug B-gon at all . Thanks for you're tips! I will get my land lord to fill the holes around my house!
You must live in the ghetto??
thanks for the advice
Good point! Thanks for sharing with this community! Did your landlord fill in any potential holes?
@@strategyandperformance
Yes, hopefully he got them all. I did see a moth flying around my room. I didn't let it in. Still wondering how it got in. I was reading about seward flies, that fly into your house through the pipes. Hoping I don't have to deal with them this summer.
That’s awesome that your landlord responded.
I’m sure that moth was very sneaky on getting in. They tend to land on the upper corners of your door. When you open the door as you’re walking out the fly in above the door and you don’t see them.
I happen to catch it on video when my son was recording with his phone as I was walking out.
He showed me his video as he was playing with his toys, and I noticed me walking out in the background and then my flying in! Lol those sneaky things!!!
Do you have any good recommendations on what would be good for indoor/outdoor, summer just hit here in the midwest. The amount of insect out here is crazy, my bf daughter is coming out for summer, she has a light breathing problem soo any recommendations?...
I am not an expert, but I have to kids and I’ve used pesticides for about five years. I do recommend the ortho because it’s liquid and he has the magic wand so you can control where it goes.
Aerosols are terrible and they make me sick and have made my son sick.
And his video I talk a little bit more about why it’s good and why I prefer to use it.
m.ua-cam.com/video/jSwLPEhZO2M/v-deo.html
You can also use terror and killer if you don’t want to spray anything. But the control bugs you must seal outside of your house, spray and also spray on the inside.
Where did you adjust it?
Thanks
I’m happy to help.
Thank you for pointing out to others that spraying for "ants" is very important. There are many species of ants. Including CARPENTER ANTS. Which can nest and and eat wood ... same as termites. WDO ...
Wood Destroying Organism.
Thank you for your awesome comment!!! Yes, those ants are as bad as termites!
This is a great video. I'm planning to do this this weekend but for small roaches. Any additional tip in my case? Also, question, I have a puppy and I'm concern this would be toxic for her. Should I do it during the night and lock her in the bedroom and wait how many hours to be sure is dry and safe ? My roaches are mostly hiding behind the fridge and where I keep my pans and lids, Can I use this inside the kitchen cabinets? or just outside around the cabinets and kitchen island? Thanks!!!
Keep her away until the product dries. (Perhaps 45 min to 2hrs. Based on the temperature and air circulation of your home)
Are you in an apartment or condo?
Regardless of if you are, you will have to move pots or pans out to see if you can see any holes where they could be coming from or nesting.
I would spray in the holes, but not the general area where your cookware is put in.
If you are in an apartment or condo connected to another unit, the biggest worry is to patch any holes that go to the other apartment or an adjacent wall. They could be coming in through that area.
I would spray any holes where the bugs could be coming from.
Keep in mind that this is my experience with the product. I am not an expert.
Check out this other video I did about spraying in counters.

Does it work for fleas
I have the pump nozzle and I'm having trouble removing the nozzle safety stay disc. Help
Sorry for the late reply, Did you figure it out?
Hey on first one how do you get nozzle n mine is nt like you're it's just plain one nothing 2 unfold help!!!!!
Sorry for the late reply. If you got rid of the bedbugs, let us know what you used that worked.
Is this product useful against water bugs?
When you spray ortho home defense insect killer spray do you need to remove the dishes and mixer and juicer and food and water and pets toys and kitty litter box or not ?
If you’re a spring in an area where there’s dishes yes you have to remove the dishes. If you’re only spraying in the bottom of the cabinets where they meet the floor, no.
I have a mite infestation in my unfinished basement should I vacuum first, mop with bleach/Dawn dish soap “the basement floor is quite dirty from construction workers walking down there, then spray with the home defense max?
Did you ever find out If you should mop first or Spray? I was trying to find out
Thank u so much! Any important pointers for doing this in a small RV? I also have a pet cat.
When you say not to apply this where pets and children play… do you mean when doing the application? My entire house is a spider hub so I would like to spray every room.
Sorry, for the late reply. You can spray. If you have carpet, I would only spray along the wall, two inches from the ground.
For the spiders, try to figure out where they come in. If there are any windows, or if they’re coming through attic spaces or air vents. I would spray near those.
Also, if you have a garage or door that leads to the backyard, I would spray below it.
I personally don’t spray the carpet. The label says it’s safe to use in pet areas.
Can you spray in your bed sheets and couches and carpet is it safe or not?
Spray only on the edge of the wall where the carpet meets. Do not spray on sheets or couches. Ortho makes a product for bedbugs.
Good video because I have to spray my house.
I’m glad it was helpful!
Do you clean up the extra residue or let it remain watery?
I let it dry.
Great video. Super informative and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for everything 🙏
I’m happy to help!
Their getting in under the door, will a weather strip keep bugs out
Yes. Spray after installing it. I would spray around the base of the door and on any edge or corners leading to the door. If you have ants, use Terro ant granules to stop them before they get to the house.
What happens if you live in apartment on the top floor ? Should I still worry about the outside in trying to find access points for the ants or should I just focus on the inside ? The only place we really get ants is the mater bedroom and we will get so much ants just for crumbs being on the floor not even food being left out, sometimes even napkins with food particles on it they will gather up in a group of a hundred which is crazy to me, I just bought some ortho today and plan on spraying the cracks underneath the base boards around the room
Great! If your apartment is higher than 3 stories, you might need to get Terro Ant Killer if Ortho doe not work by itself. If one of your neighbors has lots of ants you might have the problem of finding dead and live ants in your apt from the Ortho. If that happens, get terro to kill the Quin.
Here is a video on terro ant killer.

@@strategyandperformance thank you so much !! 🙏🏽💯
Did your neighbours have ants? I have ants and my neighbour told me they don't have. I don't believe it! I think they are coming from under my parquet flooring.
@@frostflower5555 No ! My neighbors did not have ants, and even if they did honestly after buying that stuff and spraying it I haven’t seen any ants around 🙏🏽😁 so it worked for me !
@@trapkoda Would the bait work as good?
Dude great video you earned a like and subscribed! 🎉 now I have a good excuse for my wife tonight. I can say "oh honey I should do it tomorrow and do outside first because it is dark now and it might work on the outside that way you don't even have to spray the inside haha
That’s Awesome Boss!!! Thank you!
I'm having a major ant problem. I try spraying this stuff and it kills the ants, but the then the ants find a different place to go to. Does this spray spread? Like, would the ants spread this poison to other ants or no?
If you are in an apartment, you need to kill the colony. Use Terro ant killer.
My video:
m.ua-cam.com/video/RSuA8cqoFrU/v-deo.html
It will take one to two weeks depending the colony size.
IF they are carpenter ants and you live in a house, use Terro granules. I go over it at the end of the this video.
Those Terro ant traps always work for me. Let them sit 4 or 5 days until there is no more ant activity and the colony is dead
thanks! Just got this try 🙂
I know this an old video hopefully you see my comment but spraying indoors you mention spraying the outside of cabinets …it won’t ruin the wood cabinets? Also can we spray on carpet or along the border of the walls?
Yes, you can spray along the carpet where it meets the wall. I spray on the baseboard on the wall and have a drip down towards the carpet.
It won’t ruin the cabinets if you spray in the corners. If your cabinets were recently painted depending on the paint it could fade the color a bit. Testing a small area before doing it if they were recently painted.
@@strategyandperformance thank you! 😊
I came here to see how to connect the nozzle for the non-automatic version but you didn't show it.
How long humans and pets need to leave the house?
Stay away until the product dries!
How effective is it for cockroaches?I live in Canada. Feedback, & advice please & thank you!
It should work on cockroaches, unless you live in an apartment complex where it has been treated with ortho before. German cockroaches tend to build a bee immunity.
Do you wipe after it has dried up ? Or you keep it on what ever u sprayed
No, don’t wipe.
for how long not to wipe ?
The ants are crawling in the top of my dinning table and I cleaned up but they are still coming if I spray ortho home defense insect killer indoor and outdoor around the house do you think it should be helping?
It should be helping. Do you know what type of ant is it? If they are carpenter ants,big and black, you will have to get terro granules outside of the house. I mention this at the end of the video.
If they are small black ants Ortho shoul be taking care of them unless you have a large colony living inside the house.
If you have a large colony and living next to our inside of the house, you will need to use Terro ant killer. Here’s the video I did. It is important that you find out where the ants are coming from or find a main area that they travel through to get to the table.

@@strategyandperformance thank you so much 🙏
@@strategyandperformance I don't know but they burning my skin
With the spray inside its really wet, do you just leave it there to dry? It like puddles.
It’s important to spray it as lightly as possible, but some pudding will occur. Let it dry.
I cannot get the wand to work I tried everything possible, pls help
If it’s not pumping and no sound when you pull the trigger, check for a white or clear piece of plastic underneath the wand and pull it.
Make sure the small square plastic lock underneath is switched to on.
If it’s pumping and nothing is coming out:
1) make sure the flip nozzle is up and the pump connection is in all the way. You’ll hear a pop if you pushed it far enough
2) Check to see if your bottle top has an on or off along the lid. If it does, make sure it’s set to on
3) make sure the tip of your magic one is set to a spray with
Let me know if you tried all of those. If it still does not work, let me know if the pump is pumping.
How do you clean up after
No clean up. You let the spray dry.
It does last for couple years inside
That’s outstanding!
Lol I just sprayed my house with shorts on and it got on my leg. Also I sprayed all the walls up to the windows height
Lol, I don’t think anything is going to survive a crawl up the wall!!!
Let me know how it worked out. Did you get any itching or numbness on your leg?
@@strategyandperformance no itching for me. But I wouldn't recommend for anyone to try it. We all have different skin reactions lol.
Can you spray on the ceiling?
You could, but you have to be very careful. You may want to wear protection and stay behind a spray. I would just recommend covering the corners and walls were the critters are crawling.
How long do we need to leave the house 🏠 for humans and animals to be safe to re enter the house 🏡 please 🙏
When the product dries. About 25 to 40 minutes. Depending on the temperature and humidity of your location.
@@strategyandperformance thank you so much 🙏
So do you have to spray this inside everytime you mop?
Great question. I think if you mop it out with a lot of cleaner you may have to reapply.
Can I spray it in cabinets?
Do not spray inside cabinets that contain dishes. I show you how I treated my cabinets in the video at the 7:48 mark.
Didn’t work for me 😢. Brand new batteries , motor works but not spray bottle almost full 😢
Is This product good for eliminating Fleas in the home??
I sprayed my house with the home defense max and have noticed a decrease !
Thanks for sharing!
Is it safe spray on Carpet ? Will it smell bad? For Indoor
I would not spray the carpet directly. I spray it right on the wall edge and have it run down to where the carpet meets the wall.
I don’t know if it stains The carpet. I have not noticed any stains or discoloration in the areas where he has come in contact with some of the carpet.
@@strategyandperformance how about smell ?
I have not noticed any smells from the application in the kitchen or the areas where I have applied it (as described above) where I have carpet.
Do you keep food and silverware away or not?
Yes. Do not spray near counter tops.
@@strategyandperformance ok thank you so much 🙏
What were you using to seal the holes? 😃
Clear silicone. I put the product link in the description.
@@strategyandperformance thank you!!
Any advise on how long I should stay out of a basement after applying ? I turned on the house venting system and a few fans and an air purifier
It should take about 20 mins. If you are in a place with high humidity, about 40min.
How long did you leave the house 🏠 please 🙏
When did product is dry it is safe to come back. Depending on the ventilation. It takes between 15 minutes to about 45 minutes. It took me only 20 minutes in my place.
@@strategyandperformance thank you so much 🙏
You look like you identical to my dad, that’s crazy 😮😂
Everybody has a twin. I guess I’m your Dads twin! I would ask you how he looks like, but I guess there’s no need. 👍
Does it work with millipedes?
That is a great question! It claims to kill them.
Do i have to leave the house after? Because i Just spayed but im in the house
You don’t have to leave the house.
@@strategyandperformance thank you I thought ok maybe tomorrow I'll dead too🤭😂
@GestionDocumental-ko8lv 😂
Is this safe with two young children?
The product is safe as long as you apply it in areas where you will not come into contact.
I have two young kids. The key is to spray in areas where they don’t play. Meaning, edges and borders of rooms. I stay away from areas where toddlers crawl. I don’t spay near toy storage containers. I stay away from door frames in their room.
Inside the house, I spray on the wall edges but stop a foot or two away from door frames.
CAN YOU USE IN BEDROOM ON BASEBOARDS?
Yes you can!
Mine won’t soray
Is this product good for spiders?
It’s worked for me with our eight legged friends.
can you spray this on carpet
I only spray on the corners where the carpet meets the wall to create a barrier. I personally don’t spry in the center of the carpet.
In the video you can see I had an ant walking in a carpeted room. They usually walk on the edge of the wall and the carpet before they wonder into the room. Spray aiming at the. wall so the liquid runs down the wall into the carpet edge.
Can this work for roaches inside the house?
Works on reaches, but if they are German roaches and you live in an apartment building where they usually spray, they might be immune.
@@strategyandperformance what would be the best thing for roaches because they spray my apartment and I still see one here and there so I bought ortho and I still see one here and there
@@KEN11SIXboric acid
I have the comfort wand but the top portion to place the wine is different from yours. Nothing's coming up
Look at the bottle where you connect the wand. The connection needs to be facing up not sideways. Some bottles will have writing where you have to twist it to on position.
Also, are you hearing the wand pumping?
If you don’t, check on the lock (gray color non) near the button to spray. It needs to be unlocked.
Lastly, if you can push the button, the nob on the bottle is up and it’s not looked by the button, if it’s a new bottle, there is a little piece of plastic near the one that you have to pull out to activate the batteries.

Mine 2 just normal nozzle what did he u find out??? Appreciate
How long it last?
It depends on where you live. Outside, if it rains hard, the product looses some effectiveness. Inside the home, it theoends on heat and humidity.
I go into detail in this short video m.ua-cam.com/video/jSwLPEhZO2M/v-deo.html
@@strategyandperformance ehhhh so if it's warm inside it doesn't work or if it's cool ?
It works. If you live in Michigan or Minnesota, it will last longer. 5 to 8 months. In Texas or Florida, my experience is 3 to 6 months. Then you have to re-apply.
Will this kill spiders?
Yes.
Will this work on bees/wasps/hornets?
That is an awesome question! I don’t know. I’ll look at my bottle that I bought this year but for those I’ve always used wasp spray.
@@strategyandperformance follow up question. Can i spray this on my siding?
Yes! I spay it on mine. I do it in the lower boards and in the corners.
This kill all kinds of insects?
Most insects.
@@strategyandperformancethank you so much 🙏
Will this work for killing roaches besides the German roaches?
Yes.
What about with birds ?
Bruh lmao
Great question!!!! I think there are other products that will take care if that.
I think it's cruel to poison birds.
