Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive Highly recommend this product. We had a problem with grubs..hundred of grubs everywhere from Japanese beetles. I bought two large bags to cover the acres we live in and it worked insanely well. Within 2 days I had dead grubs all over. I have been extremely impressed by this product and how well it works. I use it in the spring and fall to keep them out of the yard. It also controls the ticks which is a big problem in my area so a huge plus with having dogs!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kills the bugs and grubs I have been using this product for a few years and it does the job. One great benefit is it keeps the moles away and with no bugs or grubs the don’t want to be in my lawn. It’s easy to apply with my Scotts spreader and easy cleanup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Killed crazy ants! Easy to apply and works fairly quickly. It killed a good amount of the crazy ants that have infested our property in the last week. We had none, and then suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, they were every where on our 4 acres. Used the spray around the house and porches, and used the granules about 50 feet around the house. They are almost gone after a week. Crazy ants are very hard to get rid of completely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful Coverage Amount and Effectiveness We got this Ortho Bug ClearLawn Insect Killer about a month ago and I cannot even begin to describe how amazed we are! We had so many ants and centipedes all of a sudden, and this product arrived just in time before I lost my mind. The coverage is good for up to 3 months or more if you use less than the the whole bag which can cover up to 20000 sq ft effectively. I noticed an immediate overnight difference after applying this to our lawn. The ants were gone, haven't seen even one centipede or other insect inside or on porches ever since. I highly recommend giving this a try if you're looking to rid your home and perimeter of insects! Definitely investing again next year as insect season begins again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Got rid of my ants!! I used this to get rid of ants and waited a month to write this review to make sure that results lasted. Well they did, been 4 weeks and the ants haven’t returned yet! Other products I’ve used in the past have not been as effective long term.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bug free yard With two kids and four pets that like to play in the yard it is important to me that it is pest free. I like that this product takes care of most of the common pests. It is very easy to apply with a spreader and works very well.
