Perfect!
Ortho Home Defense is exactly the spray insecticide you want handy when ever flying insects are around. If it were up to me I’d keep it right by the front door, but the wife won’t let me! I’ve taken down those late evening mosquitoes that sneak in when I take The dog for a walk, and unlike past products there is little odor, and what little there is disappears quickly, leaving the room and the mosquitoes dead. You can even see them fall for easy clean up.

Flying pests do not brother me any more
We have two seating areas on the rear patio. Spayed the areas with the flying defense. We were not pestered by flying insects the rest of the evening. Resprayed only once during our evening of fun. Smells good and easy to apply.I think it works good.

Works for hornets too!
For some reason, hornets love my patio. Every Spring we wage war against each other. They build their honey-combed nests and terrorize anyone who comes onto the patio and I wind up knocking down the nest and running for my life.
Well, they started early this year and were showing new gumption by flying into the house whenever the patio door is open. So I waited until the comb looked heavily populated and let them have it with burst of Home Defense. They scrambled and some flew off but others met their maker. The nest has been abandoned for days now. Too early to try on mosquitos but it does work on nasty stinging hornets.

Hate the wasp!
Spring has sprung and the bugs are out! The wasps have got to go! Used this spray yesterday and it worked great. I’m sure I’ll be out by the end of the weekend.
