            A:  It did for us.

              A:  It kills every ant that is on my property, including what I understand to be fire ants. I move part of the mound and when they come streaming out, I give a continuous application onto the moving ants as well as into each of the visible tunnels until the spray liquid fills it up. It usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes of constant spraying before all activity ceases. They always move on to other territory.

              by|May 4, 2023

              A:  yes

                Answer This Question

                A:  You shouldn't ever mix chemicals (especially toxic chemicals) together. The Ortho Home Defense spray CAN be used indoors, but just by itself.

                by|May 4, 2023

                  A:  yes

                  by|May 9, 2017

                    A:  NO!!!!

                    by|May 4, 2023

                      A:  I wouldn't recommend mixing this as you could get a com pounding effect with the chemicals. Use and spray separately and it should work

                      by|May 4, 2023

                      A:  Call a professional for bed bugs. This will not do it.

                      A:  It might, I used this product to kill ants and it worked well. No more ants crawling around the house.

                      by|May 4, 2023

                      A:  Termites are subterranean and this is not the appropriate product. This is very effective against ants, silver fish and many other pests where treating a perimeter surface works.

                      by|May 4, 2023

                      A:  I don't think this is for termites. You might find a product specifically for temites.

                      by|May 4, 2023

                      A:  Termites are not a listed insect that this,product is effective to use on.

                      A:  Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer Indoor & Perimeter will control termites. Call us at 877-220-3089 if you need further information about this.

                        A:  Hello CLKG, glad to help answer your question. This is a very effective indoor perimeter bug killing spray. I believe it would work out very well for your needs. I hope this helped.

                        A:  Not sure about carpet beetles, however, it is my "go to" product for scorpions, ants and flying midges. It sure saves on expensive pest control service. Wear a mask because it is odorless and you don't want to breath any mist. Very effective LONG tube and spraying capacity.

                                  A:  Unfortunately bed bugs are not one of the insects controlled by the Home Defense Max Insect Killer For Indoor & Perimeter. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to contact us at 877-220-3089.

                                    A:  No. But Ortho does have a bedbug spray that really works killing bedbugs. It is in a red can it called Home Defense dual killing bedbugs bug spray. The Max perimeter spray is not the right spray for bed bugs. And Home Depot sells the Dual Killing Bedbug Spray.

                                    by|May 4, 2023

                                    A:  No, the insect killer does not kill bed bugs.

                                      A:  Hello Justice, glad to help answer your question. I am sure it would however this isn't the stuff to use. I would go ahead & do a search on Home Depot's Website for "BedBugs" & you will receive a host of different options to choose from. All you have to do then is read up what you would like to use & order it up or go into the store to purchase. Hope this helped.

                                      by|May 4, 2023

                                      A:  In a word, NO. Several years ago I was employed as a maintenance man for an "Extended Stay" motel. We used this product for general pest control and it worked well on our problems (Roaches, ants, etc) however for bedbugs, it was NOT effective. If we found them in a room, we removed all small cloth items, placed them in a plastic bag, transported them to the laundry room and put them in a dryer on high for 15 minutes. We wrapped the mattress and box springs in plastic and transported them to the dumpster. Carpet and baseboard were pulled up. Anything wood was inspected, and either moved to the center of the room for treatment by a professional, or wrapped in plastic and discarded in the dumpster. Electrical outlet and switch covers were removed, all wall hangings were taken down. Treatment was done by a professional. Also, when I finished preparing the room for treatment, I went into the shower, removed my clothing, and plastic bagged them. Upon re-dressing, these were put in the dryer on high for 15 minutes. (The shower was used since it is all hard surface, so those little bloodsuckers can't hide) If this sounds like extreme measures, it is not. Those little parasites can live for over 6 months without feeding, can hide in the small cavities at joints of furniture, and are quite difficult eradicate.
