OrthoHome Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand, Kills Ants, Roaches, Spiders, Fleas and Ticks, 1 gal.

Ignore the skeptics—this stuff absolutely works. My wife and I recently moved to Vero Beach, Florida, where cockroaches (politely called “palmetto bugs” here) are just a part of everyday life. Coming from Ohio, we were not prepared. These things are huge, fast, and while technically harmless, they’re still shocking to see crawling around your home.At one point, we were seeing multiple cockroaches inside every single day, and we knew we had to act fast. That’s when we found Ortho Home Defense Max, and it changed everything.We sprayed it around cracked and vulnerable areas—under the fridge, behind the stove, near baseboards, and along door thresholds. Since then? We’ve seen barely any. Maybe one or two stragglers in total, and that’s in a house that previously felt like a roach runway.To test how fast it actually works, we found one cockroach outside, trapped it under a glass bowl, and sprayed some of the product underneath. Within an hour, it was dead—completely flipped over on its back. That proved to us this isn’t just a long-term prevention spray—it’s a legitimate killer that starts working fast.What’s even better is that this spray doesn’t just kill on contact. It continues working over time. Roaches that encounter it can carry it back to their hiding places, infecting others and breaking the cycle at the source.Here’s our recommendation:✔️ Spray it around common entry points and hidden crevices✔️ Stay on top of cleanliness (no cardboard on floors, no food crumbs left behind, trash secured)✔️ Let Ortho Home Defense Max do the restIf you’re new to Florida—or any place where cockroaches are common—and you’re horrified to find them in your home, this is the first product you should buy. And even if you’ve lived with them for years and think there’s no solution, try this. You’ll be amazed.Five stars. Hands down. Worth every penny—and a little bit entertaining, too.

I no longer see cockroaches, ants, or other crawling insects in my kitchen or living room.The application is quick and easy, and the product lasts for several months. I've saved a lot of money compared to other pest control methods.Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and recommend it to anyone looking for an effective and easy-to-use solution to keep insects out of their home."

It works! Very handy and starts working immediately. I live in an area with many,many pine trees. Unfortunately, the large dusky brown outdoor roaches that live in and under them like to come in and hunt for errant crumbs of dog food. This product is very handyfor them. It has a battery powered spray function that works very well and has a long neck, that folds up, out of the way when you put the product away. It's long enough that you don't have to stay bent over all the time while you are using it. You can see the result the very next day. It also works on ants and other pests. Would buy again when this one is used up, but it should last for a long time before that happens.

My first apartment had roaches as soon as we moved in, so we bought this bc wanted it to be safe for the kitty, and it worked like a charm. Got rid of the roaches and was safe for the kitty. Also a plus when I moved in my second apartment there was an ant problem and I used this again and it worked amazing. Highly recommend.Will say it leaked a little but I think we just threw it around a lot so that’s why.

I’ve had good results with this product when it comes to preventing bugs like ants, wasps, mud hoppers, waterbugs and spiders but the number one pest problem I have is black flies and maggots in the garbage bins and they seem very unaffected by this spray. Yet, if I hit the maggots and black flies with flea spray, they die almost on contact. It may be time for these guys to re-formulate. The packaging itself is good but if it doesn’t kill ALL the bugs, what’s the point? I’ll have to find a new product.
