Great spray!
Sometimes when we have had rainy weather for several days ants find their way to our kitchen. This spray does a good job in eliminating this annoying problem. It does have that bug spray scent but it does not linger for days. I like the fact that it sanitizes the surface as well. This spray is not just for the kitchen. It is also effective in the bathroom and in our screened in porch. Easy to use spray. Does not clog. I have trusted the Ortho brand to solve many gardening and lawn problems over the years. I would recommend this bug spray!

KILLER SPRAY !
Quick and easy. Sprayed this around a garage door that leads to the backyard. This spot has been a problem area since as long as I can remember. I do have to apply it about every 7-10 days. But it works!!!!

Safe product
Great product. No offensive odor. Great for eliminating ants fruit flies etc in the kitchen. Had small black gnats that came from some imported house plants and just after a couple of sprays with Home Defense they are gone. Great Product.

Effective Bug Spray
We had occasional ants in our kitchen. After using this product along baseboards and door entry ways it seems to have eliminated the ants. We haven’t seen any ants for weeks after spraying. Spray is easy to use, and apparently effective. We would recommend.

Works wonders
This home defense max kit is so good that it kills the insects on contact. I have been using this for a while now and it works wonders. I have only tried it at ants as that is all I have in my home sometimes. Would surely recommend

Very Effective
It seems like ever summer that I have a ant problem in my Kitchen and this product got rid of them. I spray the Ants and the Area with this long lasting spray and the Ants die, Also kills the germs they may leave behind. This product is a safer alternative that doesn't just get rid of bugs but also sanitizes the surface. The smell isn't bad,just the standard bug spray scent. It is very effective and fast acting,Also can be used anywhere in your home. I highly recommend this product.

Ortho® Home Defense® MAX® Kitchen Insect Killer
Ortho® Home Defense® MAX® Kitchen Insect Killer is easy to use. It is highly effective and gives you a peace of mind. I like that it specifically helps against carpet beetles and silverfish, two that I have huge issues with. I have seen less around the house since using this. I have already bought two extra cans for other areas.

Works Great!
Nice product kills bugs on contact! I have used it on spiders, flies and some ants. It doesn't leave any kind of residue if you don't go crazy with it. I imagine it works well on wasps if you can get close enough to them. I have used Ortho products on and off for years.
