Orange Guard, Home Pest Control, 32 fl oz

Absolutely fantastic product. I was struggling with stinkbugs popping up in the attic I live in. I live with 4 cats, so finding something that is an effective deterrent/bug killer and non-toxic to them was a headache. This gives me the best of both worlds, and the citrus smell is just heavenly. I haven't seen a single stink bug since Ive been using this regularly. It might seem like a lot, price-wise, for just one spray bottle. But it's super concentrated and worth it. I wish I knew about this sooner! Would have saved me so much trouble and headache!

I was very satisfied with this product, so I’d like to use it again.

Great stuff! Not affecting people or food but wipes out ants! Recommended to me on NextDoor. Smells like orange; not 'chemical'. Great fast delivery; in a plastic bag and a cardboard insulated box

Smells lemony and not chemical-ish at all. It works very well to kill and stop ants immediately but only lasts for a few days to a week. I will say this summer was extremely bad with the ants so maybe it isn’t as fair to this product in terms of the few days to a week. I do like its ability to work right away so I have bought multiple and will keep buying.

THE SKINNY: • effectively kills and deters • provides peace of mind and worry-free usage • long-lasting EXTENDED REVIEW: I actually learned of Orange Guard in a conversation I had when I had the opportunity to meet the owner and creator of Orange Guard as he and his family live in my small town. I wasn’t necessarily in the market for a big spray, but after asking what he did for a living, I later went online and read more about the product. Though I’ve since purchased it online, I initially bought OG at a local hardware store after discovering I had a small stream of ants underneath my kitchen sink. USAGE: Normally, rather than attempting to kill ants by smothering my house with product, I prefer vacuuming up all visible ants and using a spray to create a sort of seal or deterrent near and around key entrance points. That way I’m neither breathing in or smelling copious amounts of chemicals. With Orange Guard, I don’t have to be nearly as scrutinizing over how much product I’m spraying as it’s both entirely natural and non-toxic. I still use the vacuum method to limit how much spray I’m using, but only bc it’s still got a pretty pungent smell. SMELL: The first thing you’ll notice with OG is in fact the smell... it’s a VERY concentrated citrus smell. Though it doesn’t smell “bad” (in fact I kind of like the way it smells), even the best smells can be overwhelming in large doses (think of that guy at the club who felt he needed 10 sprays of Drakkar Noir... nauseating!). Plus, it’s is rather acidic and such a concentrated amount can find its way to the back of your throat or deep within your nostrils, so no need to overdo it! Perhaps the worst invention was when popular brands of the poisonous alternative started adding scents to their products — I can’t think of a more dangerous and disregarding practice than attempting to mask something harmful with something pleasant, effectively causing people to spray and breathe high amounts of poison bc it no longer smelled of poison. EFFECTIVENESS: If we’re being entirely honest, OG is not as effective as it’s chemical-based alternatives. Like nearly all nature-based products — from cleaning supplies to detergents to medicine— custom-designed chemicals are hard to compete against. I’ve found the chemical-based products work FASTER, LONGER, and are ultimately more EFFECTIVE at both killing and deterring. HOWEVER... Orange Guard is still a highly effective product and while not necessarily the most capable, it absolutely gets the job down. But when you take into consideration the fact you’re not filling your home, and ultimately your LUNGS and the lungs of your loved ones, with harmful, probably cancer-causing toxins, it’s a no-brainer. I’d gladly take a product that’s roughly 85% as capable but 100% safer and healthier. Because ultimately all we’re really talking about are ants. And while admittedly annoying, I’m not ready to believe they’re so annoying as to justify willingly bringing poison into your home, your floors, your cabinets, and your bodies!
