Effective immediately
Extremely effective! It says that it's concentrate doesn't leave behind a residue.... It does. However, if you are looking for a barrier to keep out pests this will deliver immediately. I've always trusted home defense to keep pests out of my place for many years. Very trusted product that consistently delivers.

Good Sprayer, Useless Defense
The only thing that worked on this product is it's sprayer. Ten minutes after spraying down an area for ants. The ants were crawling back over the sprayed down area. The spray does nothing to protect against ants or other insects. I will kill on contact, but so does soap and water. I could mark this up to a bad batch but my son had similar experience with it. If I was you I would stay away from this product.

    It is what it is
    Easy to apply but the only set back was the fleas seem to roll in the spray like it was lotion to them and the next day requested a second dose...killed a spider no problem. Oh and delivery driver left package at my neighbors but hey no one perfect (smh)

    Works well!
    This spray works pretty well. The attached sprayer sprays evenly and thoroughly, and it was easy and fast to set up to use. It does have a little bit of a smell, but its not too strong and it does dry fairly quickly. We had a few ants getting inside and sprayed around where they were coming through. It didn't kill them instantly, but within a couple of minutes you could see them starting to die off. It's not the strongest pesticide on the market, but it does work well for inside the house where you don't want to use such strong things.

    Works great!
    Extremely impressed with this product. We had some ants invading our glassed in veranda with heated floors. Well, tried some home remedies at first, then some traps with zero result. However, after ONE application of Ortho spray - not one ant in sight. Extremely, extremely effective. Love the spraying wand - it is thin and long enough to get into all nooks and crannies. Love that you do not need to pump - it is battery operated. Set-up is minimal and very simple. The chemical is clear and does not stain floors or carpets. Dries in about 20 minutes. Right after application there is some odor (not too horrible nor is it too strong) but it completely dissipates when everything is dry. We have dogs and cats, so the veranda was off limits for a couple of hours for them. Just wanted to make sure that things were completely dry. In short - terrific stuff! Easy to apply, quick to air out and very effective.

    came to my rescue!
    YIKES!! i started seeing some bugs in my kitchen at night when i turned on the light so i wanted something effective and fast acting as well as easy to use and i found it in the Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand. I sprayed the perimeter of every room upstairs and downstairs and i haven't seen a bug since! This is the easiest and most convenient sprayer ive ever used. Its very well designed. The wand folds out easily to reach hard to get to places and lets me spray without having to bend. when im through with it i just fold it up and clip it into its own special holder that keeps it all together and compact and ready for the next use. It sprays the first time every time after its primed and I also like that its safe for children and pets when its dry. Couldnt be easier!

    Easy to use
    I was having issues with bugs in backyard and around the perimeter of my home. After using the Ortho Home Defense I noticed great results the following day. I sprayed around the foundation of my home and because of the wand it makes it extremely portable and accessible for anyone to use.

    Great Product!
    I am a long-time ortho products user. I've been doing all the bug prevention with Ortho Home Defense around and in my home for years. I was happy to see a new and improved product that dries faster and creates a long lasting barrier, continuing to kill those nasty little varmits. It has no odor and doesn't stain any flooring. I love the long reach sprayer! I will replace my regular Home Defense with the Max.

    We've been using this product for years now, because of small insects and cockroaches in the kitchen, my husband used to love this, my only complaint about it is after you used it a couple of times, the hose of it was leaking, we couldn't use it the same way that it should, my it's still effective, killing those insects in a minutes

    Stopped working
    The gallon is full but the hose stopped working. We tried getting new batteries but still doesn't work. Waste of money; can't return it.

    Kill only 90% of fleas
    90% of fleas were destroyed. But all the same, they periodically crawl over me and bite. Processed all the rooms according to the instructions. I even sprinkled the mattress and blanket. The official website does not publish true reviews.

    Flex Seal to the rescue!
    I live in El Paso,TX. The last few days it rain severely even flooded areas. I just moved into an apartment a month ago. I came home from work on one of the night it was raining and flooded I'm cleaning my area I walked into my apartment and my living room had water all over the floor. I assumed it came from my door but the following day I noticed it was coming from the base panel on my wall in the living room. The following day I went out and bought some Flex Seal in the can, follow the directions sprayed it on the base panel it rained in an hour later and no leakage. I was very skeptical at first but I figured I would give it a try and I am so happy I did!

    Life Saver
    I'm arachnaphobic. I just moved in my new apartment and I considered breaking my lease because of these small to medium size annoying things pests.. OMG! I tried 4 other products only because this brand was out of stock. I understand why they're out of stock. This stuff works like magic! Ortho saved 3k because I didn't break my lease. If you despise insects like myself, buy 2 of these! Dries fast, no order, it works.

    Absolutely amazing
    I absolutely love how easy it is to use. I love how the handle is detachable and folds up and stores on the side. I also love how long the handle is. I really enjoy the nozzle and how I can change it to off or spray. My animals did have to leave until dry.

    Easy for me to use!
    I have had the home defense Max insect spray for a while now. Just couldn't get motivated to use it with all the issues on the news, but I did finally use it. The easy to use sprayer works great and it was easy to maneuver all around the house. Being it is safe to use around children and pets was great and all the instructions for it's use too. As the weather has somewhat changed I have seen sign of little bugs coming out. So getting started now will assure I'm covered for the year. I sprayed the whole inside of the house and have seen results in 24 hours . Starting now was a great start for me

    Super Effective Spray!
    After using this home bug spray, I'm extremely impressed! The first thing I love about this bug spray is how easy it is to use. All I had to do was snap the hose sprayer in place and within seconds, I was able to begin spraying for bugs around my house. The next thing I love about this product is how it is safe for both humans and pets after the solution dries. This is very relieving since I don't have to worry about my dog becoming sick from licking it when it's dried up. Another notable feature to point out is how quickly the spray dries. It only takes a couple minutes before the whole treated area has dried up! The next thing I love about this product is how much spray is included in the container. There's plenty of liquid solution to last me an extra-long time! Another important feature to point out is how many bugs this spray kills. Ever since I sprayed my home with this solution, I have not seen a single bug! This solution has worked amazingly. I used to get quite a few roaches. Finally, I really appreciate how this spray can be used both indoors and outdoors. This takes the hassle out of having to buy two different sprays! Overall, I'm extremely impressed with this bug spray and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a fast, easy, and effective bug treatment!

    Works Great!
    This Ortho Home Defense Max has a nice, long wand that folds up. It has a clip that holds the wand on for storage. I sprayed around our basement where we tend to get bugs coming in and it worked great! We had some bugs crawl out of spaces and die. We have not seen new bugs coming in either. It's really easy to use.

    Great!!
    The Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier is great. I absolutely love how quick and precise it is in killing bugs! My house sometimes has a roach problem and it's very annoying and hard to take care of. Thankfully, with this insect barrier, it's been significantly less of a hassle! This product kills and protects for a full year against any and all insects on any indoor surfaces. When you spray it onto surfaces, such as floors, it dries quickly and is able to reach where any small bugs are hiding. I like that this spray gets all of the crevices and corners you might not be able to get yourself. You can use this spray in bathrooms, kitchens, and more! I also appreciate how this spray carries no foul odor or stains and doesn't leave surfaces feeling sticky and gross. I highly recommend this product and this spray is so useful overall for getting rid of gross infestations!
