Ortho Home Defense Ant & Roach Killer with Essential Oils Aerosol 14 OZ, Brown/A

This is BEST STUFF!! I love it doesn’t smell like poison bug spray. It drops /kills roach one spray! Its so nice not to have to scrub entire “whatever surface” just make sure my service dog doesn’t get anything. The fact is natural an want HURT pets or children so wonderful.

I love this product and it's safe fir pets and smells great

I bought this to spray around my garage doors, windows, exterior doors and well just about everywhere I could. I can't stand even looking at bugs! I use glue traps every now and they but I didn't want to pick up the trap after everything was caught. This Ortho spray works well! Plus, it has a very nice and pleasant smell that for some reason I enjoy. Spray, spray, spray and keep em away! I spray about once a month which is probably more than I should but its working! Try it out because it works!

I think Ortho makes a lot of great products but this unfortunately is not one of them. It smells better than most fly sprays with the essential oils added but I have diffusers for that if I want to use essential oils. I needed something to kill flies and this simply doesn't do that effectivy.My profession is working as a scientist, an Entomologist to be exact, and so I work with insects on a daily basis. I decided to put this product through the paces using the 7 steps of the scientific method. I won't bore you with all the lengthly details but here is the meat of my findings. The product failed miserably and we tested 4 different fly species in our experiment.Ortho states on their website the product can be used to kill mosquitoes, fruit flies, houseflies, and "other flying bugs", which is obviously a fairly vague statement as there are more than a million documented insect species on earth and many of those with the ability to fly. Fun fact, there are approximately 10 quintillion individual insects alive on earth at any given time.The fly species we tested were fruit fly, house fly, little house fly and blow fly. The product did have some effect on the fruit flies and after about 10 min and a few different direct applications of the spray they died.The house fly, small house fly and blow fly even after multiple direct applications in an enclosed area still remained alive. We tested 6 separate cans of spray all with the same results. We finally applied the product in an enclosed jar and then covered the jar which ultimately killed every fly species in a matter of a minute or less.However, most individuals using this product will do so in a open area and will spray the fly as it's flying or briefly landed. In this case the product is nearly completely ineffective on any species we tested other than fruit flies. I may publish a short paper on these results if I decide to run the testing a handful of more times and have it peer reviewed but for now my opinion would be don't use this product if you want to kill flies. It's basically just a can of mediocre essential oil spray with no real value for its intended purpose.

Love this product and been using it for years. The dog gets in it and never bothers him or makes him vomit etc and it doesn’t necessarily kill the bugs every time but it always deters them or makes them relocate and i live in a very rural area outside of any city limits so it works out great as i don’t use a bug man. Indoor or outdoor use i just spray around entry points like doors and windows a few times when it gets hot and I’m good to goEdit: changing my review to a 3 star due to the product being pulled off shelves and removed from Amazon for a small period of time only to be HALFED in size for not half the price. Very disappointing bc i love this product. I’ll continue buying this summer but i Will be looking for alternatives

I live in Miami so I don't need to describe the mosquitoes.This does kill them if you hit them directly with it. It is not a repellent. I spray it on them as they're flying in close trying to bite me and enjoy seeing them fall dead to the ground twitching in agony.This does mean that the spray gets on me cause it's close range work. However, because it's made with essential oils as the only active ingredient I don't mind it getting on me and in fact it does smell nice, like real cinnamon and cloves. If you're into pumpkin spice you'll love the smell of this and in fact the smell is more natural than anything that ever claimed to be "pumpkin spice"

We have lived in our house for almost 25 years. In the summers here the bugs get busy, but we NEVER had a winter bug invasion until now. It’s been 😞 awful — and we are wondering if the summer months are going to bring even more creepy crawlies. So we are glad to report that our use of Ortho Flying Bug Killer has convinced all but the most persistent few to go elsewhere—or at least stay away from this house. Very glad this product worked so well for us!!

Gallon jug was in a box, inside a big zip lock bag that was open. I was missing the hand sprayer. Luckily I have an old one that I can use.
