This stuff really works !!
3 months ago
This stuff really works !! The trigger dispenser allowes for an even coat without misting too much - it sprays but does not go airborne which I love. I have noticed a huge drop in pests especially spiders. I love that this also keeps ticks away which are super scary this year. And not harmful to pets ! Most importantly once dried there’s no residue!! Amazing.

Wish it was more effective
3 months ago
I wanted this to work better and it just didn’t. I live in an old house surrounded by trees and frequently have bigger waterbugs/roaches/whatever you call them. I know this doesn’t completely eliminate them coming into the house but I didn’t really notice this helped at all. I sprayed both in and outside of the house. I can’t cover every hole that bugs could possibly enter in but still, I tried my best! I still gave this stars because it’s so easy to use and assemble. It was quick and easy to use. I’ll probably still use the rest of the container but I definitely wish it was more effective.

Easy to use and keeps bugs out
3 months ago
This ortho spray has been a great addition to my home maintenance routine. The comfort wand makes application incredibly easy, no pumping, bending, or hand fatigue, and it reaches under furniture and into corners without any hassle.
What I liked most is that the spray dries quickly and doesn’t leave behind any strong odor or visible residual. I used it around doors, windows, baseboards, and in the basement, and within days I noticed a big reduction in insect activity. It gave me peace of mind knowing I was creating a protective barrier rather than just treating bugs after they appeared.
The large bottle lasts a long time, and the convenience of the extended wand makes the whole process much faster than traditional sprays. If you’re looking for an easy to use insect barrier that helps keep common household pests under control, this is definitely worthy trying.

Good application spray
3 months ago
I have used the larger sprayer container of ortho max before and really like this smaller spray application. It goes just where you spray it and doesn’t have a smell at all. Idk how well it’s working but haven’t had any issues with bugs so far. One thing I didn’t love is how long it took for dry time since I have kids and pets but when it did dry you couldn’t even tell anything was sprayed.

Unsure how really feel about this product. We have an ant issue inside so I sprayed the area we thought they were coming from but they didn’t seem to die off…the spray nozzle is great. Coverage is great. But still using it to test out on other insects.

Our ant entrance tends to be concentrated to the back deck door as that is where the dog bowls are and it seems to attract them. A few sprays around the door and our ant problem is gone! And it’s safe to use which is a huge plus with multiple animals

Highly Effective Both Quickly and Longterm
4 months ago
The Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier spray was very easy to use, quick to dry and requiring no cleanup afterwards, and with no scent. Within 15 minutes of spraying along my windowsill, any bugs entering were already dying and in the following days/weeks, the appearance of bugs decreased almost 100%.

Spray those insects away with an easy to spray bot
4 months ago
Perfect east to spray insect barrier. With the warmer temps coming the bugs and insects are finding their way inside. This was perfect timing. I used the spray around windows and door frames. Easy to spray nozzle. Light and hardly a smell. Love that it comes with a refill bottle, so you can just use the top for the refill less waste and mess. The spray worked well and it didn’t leave any residue behind.

Great for ants

We were having a serious ant problem so we used this. It was easy to spray and did not leave any stains on the deck or patio after it dried. I felt safe using it around the house. We noticed not long after we sprayed that we stopped having ants in the house so it was very effective. I would use this product again.

No messy residue

Considering this is the time of year I spray my house, the Ortho Defense arrived at the perfect time. As I applied it throughout my home, I noticed very little fumes and the trigger spray applied evenly. To my surprise, the leftover residue was minimal, nor did it stain my baseboards/floors. So far, so good, I haven't seen one bug!!
