The first iteration of this insect killer was amazing. This one is awful, disappointing and frankly frustrating if you actually need the spray to do its job. I’m so disappointed and I’ll certainly find a different bug barrier to use.

This has been my go-to bug spray since moving to a big city and dealing with more bugs in my apartments! I love this one because the scent is minimal, it works quickly (especially for getting the creepy crawlers on the ceiling!!), and maybe most importantly, does not stain any of the walls or surfaces I’ve sprayed it on!

I do not have a dislike. It’s fast working, doesn’t have a strong smell. It’s also long range so if you’re scared of bugs and insects like me, you can stand about 2 feet away and aim and it’ll still get the job done.

Kath - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
I've only used this 'Ortho Home Defense MAX Indoor & Perimeter Insect Killer' once and it still worked the next day even after the solution dried up. I had an ant trail and a lot of flies in one of my rooms, so I sprayed this all over the ants and where the flies mainly stayed at. The next day, I saw a lot of flies drop dead mid-flying in the air. Also, there was no more ant trail. Yes, this works; and I highly recommend getting this product if you want to get rid of bugs and insects in your areas.

Although the listing is for ortho home defense max, I received the regular home defense- you will be expecting a stronger product than what you get. Perhaps they are aware, perhaps they are not

It does kill on contact but doesn’t necessarily keep the pest away. Noticed more and will be trying something else.
1 reply from Ortho Consumer Services team - 10 months ago
We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense MAX Insect Killer for Indoor & Perimeter1 and appreciate your feedback. Ortho Home Defense MAX Insect Killer for Indoor & Perimeter1 is only labelled for the control of those insects listed on label. 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, you will need to wait up to 6 days for them to die. The 12 month statement only applies to indoor control of most crickets, spiders (excludes black willow and brown recluse spiders), carpet beetles, earwigs, firebrats, moths, and silverfish. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.

Sarr161 - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
I don’t write reviews often, but this product WORKS! I wish I found it sooner. Had some ants outside my front door that were finding their way into my kitchen, sprayed the outside and haven’t seen any more since. But I’ve also been seeing a lot of spiders around my place lately, so I sprayed a few of the spots where I see them frequently since I had spray leftover and in 2 days I’ve been finding a handful of dead spiders. Big ones. I’m ecstatic not to have them running around anymore! My previous apartment had a spider problem with black widows and other spiders coming inside and I tried everything, pest company came out and sprayed multiple times and nothing worked. I wish I would have found this months ago! It will be my go to from now on!

I live in the desert so every summer I got ants and spiders. I sprayed this outside and it help so much. The only down side that as soon as it rained I found myself back outside spraying outside again. It’s as if water washes it away because after any rain the ants would be back.

Barrier works great. After moving into my condo in March, I heard the complex has bug problems in the summer so I used this to spray around the doors and windows. Yesterday was our first hot day of summer. This morning I woke up to half a dozen dead roaches outside my front door. So thrilled those things didn't make it past the barrier
