Jug leak

The supposed sealed jug tipped over and leaked half the jug into my trunk when it tipped over during transport from the store. I’m extremely irritated.

Purchased for our basement floor level apartment. We had an influx of earwigs after a large storm. I have never been so impressed by a pest control product in my entire life! After hooking up the convenient and straightforward to assemble sprayer wand, I was able to reach behind our kitchen appliances with ease. You can clearly see and hear when the product is coming out of the wand, and it dries within minutes! Our pets were unaffected, and there was no noticeable odor or fumes of any kind. Less than 2 hours after applying, the little critters were emerging from their hiding spots and dying right before my eyes! It's been less than 24 hours now and there are still some stragglers in their death throws, and I couldn't be more pleased with this product. If I could give a 10/10 I would! Thank you Ortho!!

Faulty Sprayer

I have been a consistent consumer of Ortho Home Defense MAX for 20 years, however, the most recent 1 gallon container had a faulty sprayer which after trying everything doesn't spray unless holding the container on its side practically almost upside down which resulted in excess poison everywhere with majority of the liquid being leaked from container. I wasn't able to make a one pass barrier along my homes interior.

Hello. We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand and appreciate your feedback. Let's go over some troubleshooting: -Be sure that the connector at the end of the hose is firmly attached to the cap. *you should hear a distinct click once attached correctly* -Make sure the spout is sticking straight up -Check the twist cap and ensure that it is fully pointing to "ON" -Ensure that the wand is completely extended into the open position. -Ensure that the nozzle is completely set to one of the 3 spray patterns. * If between settings, it will not work correctly* -Can you hear a motor running? If not, Is the trigger lock disengaged? Is the battery strip on the battery pack removed? *If the trigger is disengaged and the plastic strip is removed, and the motor is still not running, change the batteries. -If you hear the motor running, potentially the siphon tube and sprayer need to be reprimed. *This is done by placing the container above the wand (either holding it above or setting it on something) and spraying for 30 seconds* -Lastly, the sprayer tip may be clogged. Soak the sprayer tip ONLY in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes to dislodge any residue that may have crystallized in the sprayer tip. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.

This product is a joke. It must be sugar water. I have to spray so much that the insect dies due to drowning. A can of starch is more helpful.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand and appreciate your feedback. Timing is an important factor in insect control. Most insects cannot be controlled in the egg stage, so insecticides are targeted to control insects in the larval or adult stages. Also, more mature or larger insects will take longer to control than younger or smaller insects. You may not see the insects die immediately, but you should see a reduction in the pests or their damage within a few days. Treating both the outside entry points and the inside at the same time will also help. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

I am disappointed. Bought this to help with my silverfish problem. My husband sprayed this and the next day already saw two of them crawling even when we literally just steam and clean the floor.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier and appreciate your feedback. This will control listed insects when applied according to directions. Since this kills by contact, insects will need to come in contact with the treated areas after application. You should see a reduction in number of pests after a few days. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

Nosil issue

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand and appreciate your feedback. We have included some trouble-shooting suggestions below: Be sure that the end of the hose is firmly attached to the cap. Push on it until a distinct “click” is heard. The “click” indicates that the hose is attached correctly. If have a spout on the container cap that flips up, make sure it is fully flipped up so it is straight up and down and not at an angle. *If have a knob on the cap, make sure it is turned to the "ON" position. When fully in the "ON" position, you should feel the knob click into place and the arrow on the knob will point to the middle of "ON". Make sure that the wand is open and locked into position. *Check that the nozzle at the end of the wand is turned to an open position. There are either 2 or 3 open positions and 1 or 2 off positions (depending on wand version). There is a lock on the trigger. Make sure that the trigger lock is not in the locked position. If this is the first time you have used the wand, be sure that the plastic protection strip has been removed from the battery compartment. The batteries will not engage until the plastic strip has been removed. *If the sprayer motor is running and all of the above troubleshooting has been completed, the sprayer may need to be re-primed. To re-prime, place the container above the wand (either holding it above or setting it on something) and spray for 30 seconds in an area where the product can safely be dispensed. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.

This product is the worst one I ever wasted my money on.

You wasn’t kidding when you said water based

Hello, we're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier and appreciate your feedback. It does take some time for the insecticide to affect the target insect. This does not have an ingredient that immediately immobilizes the insect upon contact. For harder-to-kill insects like cockroaches, it may take up to 6 days for them to die. You may need to reapply every 1-2 weeks until eggs/pupa have emerged and are in a "treatable" condition. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

I bought this because usually this brand (white bottle) works amazing for killing quick and keeping bugs away for months and months with just a single application. But this stuff is completely useless. It doesn't kill a thing and doesn't keep them out either... Such a let down. Not sure why or how this formula is so awful but I'll never buy it again.

We are sorry to read about your experience with the Home Defense MAX Indoor Insect Barrier. This product is only labeled for the control of only the insects listed on the label and does not have an ingredient that immediately immobilizes the insect upon contact. It is best to reapply every 1-2 weeks until eggs/pupa have emerged and are in a "treatable" condition. If there is anything we can do to help you have a 5-star experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 866-324-9192 for assistance.

I bought this because I’ve always had good luck with the ortho brand. Until this one. I can’t tell it’s killed anything. I saw a rep from Ortho posted it wasn’t made to kill on contact. It could take up to 7 days to start working. If it doesn’t kill on contact then what’s it supposed to do in 7 days? It was like spraying them with water. I will not ever buy this product again and I will not recommend it. When I buy something to kill bugs ect I expect it to start killing them when it hits them. I wish I had of read the reviews before I got it. But I trusted the brand name.

This an outstanding product and have used it for several years. However, I have 9 brothers and sisters and we all agree that the spraying system needs a complete overhaul. Three of us have had to purchase a separate spray bottle and funnel to transfer the spray into a user friendly sprayer. I currently have 2 full bottles and neither will spray. I would prefer a bottle w/o the sprayer at a reduced price. I am religious about spraying my home and the product does eliminate most insects.

The chemical works great, but the wand is horrible. I had a bottle of this and the wand wouldn't siphon the bug spray out of the bottle. So I bought a second one and just figured I would transfer the bug spray from the old bottle once the new one ran out. Now the new wand failed as well. I have 2 bottles of 3/4 full spray that I cannot use.

Bought a jug of Ortho home defense max. Big yellow sticker on it states kills by contact. Another on the label states it kills and prevents insects for 365 days. The labels are a boldfaced lie. I sprayed a cockroach with it enough to form a puddle. The little booger walked away still alive. Followed it and had to stomp on it to kill it. That has turned me from buying any other Ortho product. Don't waste your money on their lousy products. They print on the label what you want to hear but the products do not perform as stated. In addition to killing for 365 days pfffft. The label should say give us your money sucker.
