" Ortho". Just buy it and try it..best choice you
Bought this last year and my home was a haven for all types of crawling and flying creatures. I remembered that I also had purchase Home and Garden many years back and it got rid of everything. Keeping my fingers crossed that the product remained the same both effectiveness and power I purchased it again. My mother and sister were he having bug problems. I told them about Ortho and were ecstatic about the results. My family and I are 100% Ortho users. If the price seams higher than other brands, I rather pay it than buying something for less and get little to no results. You won't be disappointed. Best decision and purchase you could ever make. It's F A N T A S T I C !!!!!
