I am disappointed. Bought this to help with my silverfish problem. My husband sprayed this and the next day already saw two of them crawling even when we literally just steam and clean the floor.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier and appreciate your feedback. This will control listed insects when applied according to directions. Since this kills by contact, insects will need to come in contact with the treated areas after application. You should see a reduction in number of pests after a few days. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier with Extended Reach Comfort Wand and appreciate your feedback. We have included some trouble-shooting suggestions below: Be sure that the end of the hose is firmly attached to the cap. Push on it until a distinct “click” is heard. The “click” indicates that the hose is attached correctly. If have a spout on the container cap that flips up, make sure it is fully flipped up so it is straight up and down and not at an angle. *If have a knob on the cap, make sure it is turned to the "ON" position. When fully in the "ON" position, you should feel the knob click into place and the arrow on the knob will point to the middle of "ON". Make sure that the wand is open and locked into position. *Check that the nozzle at the end of the wand is turned to an open position. There are either 2 or 3 open positions and 1 or 2 off positions (depending on wand version). There is a lock on the trigger. Make sure that the trigger lock is not in the locked position. If this is the first time you have used the wand, be sure that the plastic protection strip has been removed from the battery compartment. The batteries will not engage until the plastic strip has been removed. *If the sprayer motor is running and all of the above troubleshooting has been completed, the sprayer may need to be re-primed. To re-prime, place the container above the wand (either holding it above or setting it on something) and spray for 30 seconds in an area where the product can safely be dispensed. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.

This product is the worst one I ever wasted my money on. I spayed my house with two gallons of you pesticide and when I returned to my house two days later, there was as many or more roaches on the counter tops and wooden trim areas then before I sprayed this chemical. You wasn’t kidding when you said water based

Hello, we're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier and appreciate your feedback. It does take some time for the insecticide to affect the target insect. This does not have an ingredient that immediately immobilizes the insect upon contact. For harder-to-kill insects like cockroaches, it may take up to 6 days for them to die. You may need to reapply every 1-2 weeks until eggs/pupa have emerged and are in a "treatable" condition. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

I bought this because usually this brand (white bottle) works amazing for killing quick and keeping bugs away for months and months with just a single application. But this stuff is completely useless. It doesn't kill a thing and doesn't keep them out either... Such a let down. Not sure why or how this formula is so awful but I'll never buy it again.

We are sorry to read about your experience with the Home Defense MAX Indoor Insect Barrier. This product is only labeled for the control of only the insects listed on the label and does not have an ingredient that immediately immobilizes the insect upon contact. It is best to reapply every 1-2 weeks until eggs/pupa have emerged and are in a "treatable" condition. If there is anything we can do to help you have a 5-star experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 866-324-9192 for assistance.

I bought this because I’ve always had good luck with the ortho brand. Until this one. I can’t tell it’s killed anything. I saw a rep from Ortho posted it wasn’t made to kill on contact. It could take up to 7 days to start working. If it doesn’t kill on contact then what’s it supposed to do in 7 days? It was like spraying them with water. I will not ever buy this product again and I will not recommend it. When I buy something to kill bugs ect I expect it to start killing them when it hits them. I wish I had of read the reviews before I got it. But I trusted the brand name.

This an outstanding product and have used it for several years. However, I have 9 brothers and sisters and we all agree that the spraying system needs a complete overhaul. Three of us have had to purchase a separate spray bottle and funnel to transfer the spray into a user friendly sprayer. I currently have 2 full bottles and neither will spray. I would prefer a bottle w/o the sprayer at a reduced price. I am religious about spraying my home and the product does eliminate most insects.

The chemical works great, but the wand is horrible. I had a bottle of this and the wand wouldn't siphon the bug spray out of the bottle. So I bought a second one and just figured I would transfer the bug spray from the old bottle once the new one ran out. Now the new wand failed as well. I have 2 bottles of 3/4 full spray that I cannot use.

Dissatisfied thieves - 6 months ago

Bought a jug of Ortho home defense max. Big yellow sticker on it states kills by contact. Another on the label states it kills and prevents insects for 365 days. The labels are a boldfaced lie. I sprayed a cockroach with it enough to form a puddle. The little booger walked away still alive. Followed it and had to stomp on it to kill it. That has turned me from buying any other Ortho product. Don't waste your money on their lousy products. They print on the label what you want to hear but the products do not perform as stated. In addition to killing for 365 days pfffft. The label should say give us your money sucker.

I gave a palmetto bug a bath in this stuff, like a pool of it and he still ran around for 20 minutes like I just cooled him off. Eventually had to squish him. Then I tried using it a second time and the sprayer just stopped working. Whole thing was a waste of money.

Very poor sprayer

It’s not that the product doesn’t kill the bugs. This is a second container where I’m going around spraying and after a few days, finally realize nothing is coming out. This is the second time the sprayer wand hasn’t worked.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor Insect Barrier and appreciate your feedback. The nozzle tip should be on a sprayed position. Product may have crystallized in the sprayer tip, soak the nozzle in warm water for 10-15 minutes, this should dislodge any residue in the tip. The siphon tube should be attached to the cap. May just need to turn the cap slightly (¼ turn or even less) so air can flow more easily into container which will allow product to be sprayed. If locked, the trigger does not depress much. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

I thought this would be a good product coming from Ortho. The insecticide is marginally effective, but it is the wand that really drags the rating down. Good idea, bad execution. The pump is not stout enough to pull the liquid up from the jug unless the jug is tilted on its side or is above the level of the wand. My advice is to buy a hand pump and a concentrated insecticide. You’ll save yourself a lot of frustration.
