Review: Seems to be working. - Seems to be working.
Review: UPDATED: Fleas are complicated. ORIG: Fleas living and prospering after 3 spaced spraying sessions - EDIT: I gave this product only 2 stars originally. But after doing research and following recommendation I managed to resolve my backyard flea problem with this product. The problem with fleas is that they sort of "hibernate" in hard shell cocoons. And its impossible to create a chemical product which is safe (non-toxic) and kills fleas in all stages: larvae, cocoon, adult. If you make such product, it would be highly toxic for humans too. With my overly simplistic approach I sprayed 3 times, but I just did nothing in between these spraying sessions. Teenage fleas hide in impenetrable cocoons and can stay there for months. They get out of their cocoons when there is a potential meal walking nearby. So I decided to combine the poison with luring the fleas out of their cocoons. I walked around the backyard, stomping and slightly jumping to cause surface vibration. Then I sprayed the yard. Now, after couple of such sessions the fleas are finally and completely gone. Summary. This poison is just a good tool. But you also need to know how to use it correctly. ORIGINAL: I have a tiny backyard closed with a fence. A few stray cats visited and left some guerrilla combatants in a form of fleas. I made sure that cats couldn't trespass anymore and decided to use this product to kill fleas. I sprayed once. No result, same amount of fleas. Sprayed second time after a week. Less fleas, but still a lot. Waited another week and sprayed the third time. Three days past, there are much less fleas, but I still caught 3 fleas jumping on me. And even a single flee is too much. I must be zero. This product definitely doesn't work. Remind you, there are no more cats.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does the directions say for mixing with a 2 gallon sprayer ?**
A: For the lawn it’s 0.75 to 1.5 fluid ounces per gallon of water. I use the full 1.75 fl oz per gallon and if works great.

**Q: Why  this product can not be delivered to my address and even nearby Amazon hub?**
A: No rhyme or reason, this one shipped to my house no problem, the indoor one, which BTW lists the same ingredients with the same percentages, will not, had to get it at Lowes.  I called in twice, they could not figure it out either, had me reenter my address, use other addresses which I have shipped gifts to, and nope, would not change the error.

**Q: Does it kill grasshoppers?**
A: Yes

**Q: Some of the other ortho products with he same name "home defense" are labeled as indoor and outdoor. this concentrate bottle only lists outdoor. ??**
A: I use it for indoor

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stealth Killer, powerful insects destroyer
*by D***N on May 14, 2025*

It works great on my lawn. I hooked this insect spray into the garden hose, and circled spray it into the infested areas. The results were phenomenal, it neutralized the critters on contact. Buy it, try it, see the elimination at work!
