Ignore the skeptics—this stuff absolutely works. My wife and I recently moved to Vero Beach, Florida, where cockroaches (politely called “palmetto bugs” here) are just a part of everyday life. Coming from Ohio, we were not prepared. These things are huge, fast, and while technically harmless, they’re still shocking to see crawling around your home.At one point, we were seeing multiple cockroaches inside every single day, and we knew we had to act fast. That’s when we found Ortho Home Defense Max, and it changed everything.We sprayed it around cracked and vulnerable areas—under the fridge, behind the stove, near baseboards, and along door thresholds. Since then? We’ve seen barely any. Maybe one or two stragglers in total, and that’s in a house that previously felt like a roach runway.To test how fast it actually works, we found one cockroach outside, trapped it under a glass bowl, and sprayed some of the product underneath. Within an hour, it was dead—completely flipped over on its back. That proved to us this isn’t just a long-term prevention spray—it’s a legitimate killer that starts working fast.What’s even better is that this spray doesn’t just kill on contact. It continues working over time. Roaches that encounter it can carry it back to their hiding places, infecting others and breaking the cycle at the source.Here’s our recommendation:✔️ Spray it around common entry points and hidden crevices✔️ Stay on top of cleanliness (no cardboard on floors, no food crumbs left behind, trash secured)✔️ Let Ortho Home Defense Max do the restIf you’re new to Florida—or any place where cockroaches are common—and you’re horrified to find them in your home, this is the first product you should buy. And even if you’ve lived with them for years and think there’s no solution, try this. You’ll be amazed.Five stars. Hands down. Worth every penny—and a little bit entertaining, too.

Good product works well

I’ve had good results with this product when it comes to preventing bugs like ants, wasps, mud hoppers, waterbugs and spiders but the number one pest problem I have is black flies and maggots in the garbage bins and they seem very unaffected by this spray. Yet, if I hit the maggots and black flies with flea spray, they die almost on contact. It may be time for these guys to re-formulate. The packaging itself is good but if it doesn’t kill ALL the bugs, what’s the point? I’ll have to find a new product.

Living in Florida, Carpenter ants, and big roaches are a problem. Most of the neighbors pay for monthly treatment around there house at $50-70 per month. Besides the cost, I also dislike that it non discriminantly kills off all the local lizard population as well. In time though I was just sick of the constant Carpenter ants, as well as nuisance roaches, that make their way in from the cracks around the entrances. Bait traps helped a little. But once I sprayed this around all problem areas, within 3 days I no longer had a problem. Dries in about an hour, so keep your pets or toddlers away until it's dry. Can't say enough about how happy I am with the results. The bottle is also incredibly easy to use, it uses a battery operated pump in the handle, and conveniently folds up and stores away.

Although the nozzle is not squirting properly. It’s leaking when I raise it to spray the content still works. So I’ll just go to the dollar store and purchase a spray bottle and pour the contents in another bottle. Hope this helps. Maybe the seller will give me a partial refund😆

Works well
