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:	Will it work around the perimeter of my pool to repel bees
Answer:	Remind me to send you a pic of the active ingredients Monday 8/5/2019.
Question:	Does this kill bed bugs
Answer:	As with any chemical you need and should keep the pet out of the area until the product is dry. This would go for children as well and even adults.
Question:	Does it come with a spray trigger
Answer:	Hi buddy, Just to give you an answer I no for sure, is that I bought some over 2 yrs. ago and I'm at the very bottom of it now,for I sprayed this spring and it still works as good as the first time I ever used it in 2015!I just finished spraying the kitchen and the ants are all gone coming in from the back door plus I sprayed some on my small porch and it's working marvelous. But you can always call the number on the container or on the web site and they will answer ur question. There is no particular time they give you on the container,just says always keep in safe area,and away from kids,but no use by date exists. I have used this bugspray for a good 15 years and it has never let me down. Plus it really works great for long periods at a time,both in or out!
Question:	Does it have the battery operated sprayer
Answer:	It does get rid of silverfish, I've never wiped it after it dries?! It doesn't stain or leave an odor after it dries. I would think wiping it off would take away the product.

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:	The wand on the bottle died even though I cahnged batteries. Any way I can purchase the wand only
Answer:	DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) are naturally occurring molecules in all living cells and organisms. So we naturally eat DNA and RNA every day, be it from an apple, bread, meat, broccoli etc. Our body recycles DNA and RNA molecules because we constantly need to synthesize our own DNA and RNA. DNA is best known for making up our genes. RNA is best known for being template molecules that are translated into proteins. But there are many other essential functions of DNA and RNA. Every time we buy food in the grocery store the label lists the grams (or percentage) of fat, carbohydrates, protein etc. DNA and RNA don't belong in these categories, just like water, minerals, vitamins etc. DNA and RNA are acids and they could always be listed on basically every food item but nobody usually lists it because DNA and RNA make up only a tiny percentage of the cells, among other reasons.
Question:	Will this kill lantern flies
Answer:	Hello Jennifer. Yes they are non-GMO.
Question:	Is this product pet safe
Answer:	Yes they are.
Question:	Is this safe on bushes
Answer:	I only take one a day and can tell the difference in my energy level. Unfortunately, I have not lost weight. Maybe I should start taking 3. Already on my second bottle.

Question:	Does this work on carpenter ants and termites

Ant die off is quick and long-lasting. Product is toxic to aquatic life, so do no apply within 100 feet of lakes, lagoons, creeks or waterways.

Question:	Does this work on crickets
Answer:	Chickens and Guineas work great on crickets!

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.

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.
