User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product have residual effects, meaning do you have to spray the bugs directly to kill them or if they crawl through it later will it kill
Answer:	Sometimes there will be bugs crawling out. Makes it easier target to kill.
Question:	how did they get trapped ? it is not sticky inside white board
Answer:	I actually wanted to know this as well. It makes no sense to me. It looks like a maze inside. I tried these. Not even one went in or they were able to get back out again.
Question:	How long to kill bed bugs and how long does it last
Answer:	it's immediate as far as killing bed bugs that you see. it takes a few hours to saturate your mattress and box spring to kill the eggs. it should last permanently but if not they say several months and reapply it
Question:	Can i spay mattress or clothing with this
Answer:	Mattress sides and box spring only. Do not spray where your body lies on top. Clothing can be put in the dryer on high for 1 hour, this will kill anything on your clothing. Do not spray clothes directly.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you just unscrew the cap and use a regular spray head on the bottle
Answer:	I had an indoor flea problem. I didn't use this stuff but I bombed the entire house with a bug bomb. I may have even used two. It did nothing. I ended up using diatomaceous earth and it took a while and a few applications but it knocked them gone. I love this stuff. It is so safe to use, I was even able to put in bottom of our bunny cages (who were suffering from the fleas).
Question:	Is this one gallon
Answer:	The 12 month claim is associated with ants, roaches and spiders. Spray it once a year and it is guaranteed to keep them out. It also kills many other listed bugs but the 12 month claim does not apply to them.
Question:	What is the difference between ortho home defense indoor and perimeter2 and the ortho home defense max
Answer:	Just to be on the safe side, I would make sure pets and infants aren't in the treated area, when actually being treated. However, I haven't seen any side effects in my dog.
Question:	Do you get two refills or is the '2' part of the name? Tia
Answer:	No, you need to purchase the Ortho® Home Defense® Dual-Action Bed Bug Killer. That should do the trick. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone used this for florida palmetto bugs, roaches
Answer:	Ortho Home Defense Crawling Bug Killer with Essential Oils is registered to control most crawling, home-invading bugs, like cockroaches!
Question:	How many days did it take to arrive at your home
Answer:	Due to the virus it took little longer than usually.
Question:	Inside and outside
Answer:	I don’t know how long it lasts outside but we mostly used it inside since it’s not harmful to humans or pets and doesn’t smell bad!
Question:	Is it safe to use on hardwood floors
Answer:	I don't know about this particular one for the crawling bug killer. I bought the Ortho Ant and Roach killer with Essential Oils. I had 2 ants crawling on my counter. I sprayed one with the Ortho. The ant just kept on crawling. Sprayed it a second time, kept crawling. I sprayed the other ant with Raid. It died immediately. So I ended up spraying the other ant with the Raid and killed it immediately too. So I don't know if it is safe on hardwood floors, but if it is just like the Ant and Roach Killer with Essential Oils, don't waste your money, because regardless whether it is safe on your hardwood floors, you will still have your crawling bugs.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this biodegradable
Answer:	I question your competency. Yes it is biodegradable
Question:	How often is reapplication needed
Answer:	Here in Western PA we have been having some serious rain issues. I don't doubt the manufacturers specs on the package about using the product every ninety days. However, in my case? About three days after application we had RAIN. The resulting plethora of gnats, skeeter's, flies, no-see-ums" leads me to doubt the product was invented by Noah and could survive a flood. So, if the rain is scheduled to leave for at least a week. I will re-apply. I have had great success with Ortho products in the past.
Question:	Can pets be in the yard
Answer:	I put it out in my yard and let my dogs loose in the yard couple of hours later and they were fine. I also have a few stray cats that were go though my yard and lay around in my yard and they were fine also.
Question:	Does this kill millipedes? We figured in we got infested outside after buying garden plants at one of the big box garden stores
Answer:	More than likely,centipedes are listed on the bag among what it kills so i would imagine it does.

Product features

Ants

Ants are common pests throughout the world. They are a nuisance, largely because of the annoyance caused by their presence - constructing mounds in the lawn or invading the home from the yard in search of food.

Fleas

Adult fleas are no larger than 1/8 inch long. They are reddish-brown, wingless insects that are laterally compressed, so they look as if they are walking on edge.

Ticks

Although ticks are commonly thought of as insects, they are actually arachnids like spiders and mites. They have 4 pairs of legs and no antennae. They lie in wait for a passing deer, pet, or person to walk near the shrub or grass they are perched on.

Spiders

Spiders can be found throughout the country. If you have the occasional fly or gnat in the house, chances are you’ll also have spiders in the house. Spiders live on bugs, but not enough to be considered for pest control.

Chinch Bugs

Adult chinch bugs are about one-fifth of an inch long and black with white wings folded over their backs. Chinch bugs feed on many kinds of lawn grasses, but St. Augustine grass and Zoysia grass are favorites.

Cutworms

If you see spots of brown grass and birds pecking at your lawn, you could be facing a cutworm infestation.

Mole Crickets

Mole crickets can be twice as long as their singing cousins - and their tunneling can ruin your lawn.

Sod Webworms

Sod webworms are the larvae of lawn moths. They live in the root level of your lawn and munch up the grass leaves. At root level, you’ll see small white tubes made of silky web. At dusk, you might even see the worms themselves.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this home defense max? description says it is but photo shows only home defense and it's not the max
Answer:	I use it to spray nematodes. Works just fine.
Question:	What are the active ingredients in this product
Answer:	I am very satisfied do not be surprised at the first water valve turn on as it may leak for a few seconds. Mine no longer does this. Depending on your water pressure you can spray upwards about nine to ten feet.I can reach the roof line of my ranch style home.
Question:	do you have to apply after every rainstorm ???? can get very expensive
Answer:	The lowest is 1 teaspoon and it goes up to 8 ounces.
Question:	Any way to revive the sprayer after it stops working
Answer:	When these work, they are awesome. Read the instructions for you chemical, determine how much concentrate to add per gallon of water. Fill the container with any amount of concentrate, set the dial. For example, if you are to add 3 oz. of concentrate per gallon, just put the concentrate into the container, set the dial to 3 oz. and spray. The sprayer will suck out the concentrate mixing it with the water at the concentration that you set on the dial, in this case, 3 oz. per gallon. Problem is, these are a little flimsy, So I suggest that you put water into the container the first time to make sure it works right, then play around with the different concentration levels. Set it to the highest concentration level and it will suck the container empty pretty quick, that way you'll be sure it's syphoning.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do they like it to eat? Does that mean this actually collect* slugs around
Answer:	Yes slugs like to eat it and then die. I don"t know what you mean by collect slugs around ,but it does not attract more slugs ,just kills the ones around the plant.
Question:	Are these pellets or powder
Answer:	I received Pellets and it was the old packaging. I can see that it doesn't state anywhere that these are pellets and I would be dissapointed if I received the powder.
Question:	Can you put them on mulch
Answer:	Yes. I've been using this product on top of pine bark mulch for several years with no problems.
Question:	We tried a different brand of pellets before and the birds just came and ate them before the slugs. Will the birds eat these
Answer:	I've sprinkled this twice and both times one bird each had died (two birds so far). The first bird I had suspicions about the pellets killing it, but I wasn't sure. I know this for a fact now since I sprinkled some around my bat plant this morning and I startled the dove eating it. He couldn't fly and walked on the ground and now he's dead in my backyard.

Ortho Bug-Geta Snail & Slug Killer 2

Snails and slugs can wreak havoc on your garden. Snails with their coiled shell can often be found chomping on your vegetables, ornamentals and even your garden soil—leaving a path of destruction with jagged holes in your favorite plants.

Slugs are very similar, thriving in moist environments. Rainy seasons and well-irrigated gardens are perfect environments for slugs as they eat the leaves of many plants, particularly seedlings.

To protect your valuable plants from snails and slugs, try Otho Bug-Geta Snail & Slug Killer 2 around vegetables, fruit trees, citrus, berries, ornaments, shrubs, flowers, trees and gardens.

How To Apply

Scatter the slug and snail bait pellets on the soil around or near the plants to be protected. Do not place in piles. Reapply as the bait is consumed or at least every three weeks. The product works best when soil is moist but with little or no standing water.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it kill cucumber beetles
Answer:	Check the ortho site for a complete list of what it’ll kills.
Question:	Does it kill larva
Answer:	I don't know if it kills larva, but it didn't kill any live bugs. It also leaked so much from the hose connection that it was unusable. Do not buy this product.
Question:	Can this be sprayed on the house/siding? We have a ton of spiders around windows, doors, soffits
Answer:	Keep in mind that Spiders are not usually affected by chems unless it is sprayed directly on them. They do not clean themselves or put their 'feet' on this body or head so the chemicals have no way to get to the body to kill them. A pest control guy told me this, he said basically get out the de-weber for spiders or spray them directly. They can walk on chems without injury. I agree with the guy about granules, especially when it is going to rain. rain tends to wash all water-based chems away and oil-based is illegal. But granules will stay mostly potent and take longer to wash away. I tested granules with ants. it was amazing, as soon as the ant touched the granules they started to walk like they were slow and drunk until they died. One-touch and that was it so I make a barrier of granules, and if they cross the barrier they are dead. Ortho Granules are cheap and effective when properly used. I even put it in my grass spreader and go over the lawn and back yard and field for extra protection. Of course like all chems, once you spray it on a surface any disturbance to the surface, breaks the barrier just like when spraying a pre-treat for termites before pouring the foundation, if some idiot walks on the ground before they pour it breaks the barrier and makes it worthless in that spot.
Question:	Is this pet friendly
Answer:	Yes, one of the reasons I buy this is not only does it work well, BUT it is child and pet friendly once it dries!!

Answer:	I just know my experience wasn’t that great. I didn’t see a lot of results using this trap.
Question:	How long is the trap active? I understand if there are bugs they will be attracted within the hour. How long do the last though for left out
Answer:	I do not know how long the traps last. Personally I do not feel they are that effective. It is hard to know if you have pressed the button properly due to the design and when I placed them in places I knew bugs were I did not catch many. Buy Proof spray instead
Question:	How do the bedbugs enter the trap
Answer:	There are little slits for these tiny bugs. It worked very well.
Question:	What's the distance these cover. Will it attract bed bugs from other rooms
Answer:	Not sure if it will. I put it under my bed and looked at it about a week ago. No evidence of any bedbugs in trap yet. It also stated when placing trap in place, to push red button down til you hear a click. I never did hear a click.

Detect Bed Bug Activity

In order to know whether or not you have bed bugs, you need to lure them out of their hiding places. The Ortho Home Defense Bed Bug Traps feature a scientifically proven attractant that is guaranteed to lure bed bugs from their hiding places.

Where to Use

Place the stations near beds or in areas where you suspect bed bug activity.

Ortho Home Defense

If you find bed bugs are present with the trap, Ortho Home Defense offers other products to kill and control them.

Size

Bed bugs vary in size based on their life stage. Bed bug eggs are only the size of a pinhead and adult bed bugs are the size of an apple seed.

Appearance

Adult bed bugs vary in color from brown (unfed) to reddish-brown (recently fed). They have a musty odor and short thick antennae.

Physical Signs

Detect infestations by looking for these physical signs: rusty or reddish stains from crushed bed bugs and black, dot-sized spots, which is their excrement, eggs and egg shells or light yellow skins that are shed as bed bugs grow.
