Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer for Lawn & Landscape Ready-To-Spray - Hose-End Applicator, Kill Ants, Ticks, Mosquitoes, Fleas & Spiders, 32 fl. oz.

Great product

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.

We planted a maple tree 8/2022 & noticed the spotted lantern flies started hanging on it this year, 2023. I was worried they would destroy my new tree & found a YouTube video showing this spray was being sold with little hang tags stating this does work on lantern flies (not sure where, mine didnt come with one). I gave it a shot & it worked! Only thing is it kills bees & other insects :( It hooks up to the hose pretty easy. My tree is about 12 ft tall this year & it was impossible to spray the top branches but I guess they hang down closer to the trunk, idk but it worked so far!

I trust ortho products for all my insect needs.

Did not work for me.

Fleas and ticks are rampant in the San Francisco Bay Area. We've found Ortho Home Defense Lawn & Landscape to be a helpful tool in managing fleas and ticks on our dogs. It is easy to apply via spraying through attachment on your hose. Flea Note: Fleas are frustrating pests to get rid of, as they can live for a LONG time before hatching. So frustrating! You need to maintain an ongoing spray schedule to keep these pests under control in your lawns. One spray and done doesn't work for fleas. I highly recommend this product.

This has helped keep our home spider free. There is not a smell to it and it is easy to use. My husband is able to get small spaces well with the nozzle. Very happy with this product.

Seems to be working.
