Ortho Home Defense Max - Kills Ants and Other Pesky Insects

Summertime brings in a lot of ants, for as intended by nature; this is the time of the year that they need to beef up the food hunting, so that they will have plenty of food during winter. Although we love learning the value of life and saving for the rainy days from these little creatures, we all have to admit, we are not too fond of them. This is especially when they start invading your kitchen counters and cabinets, raiding your food pantries and sometimes, even the refrigerator! We can sometimes ignore them when they are outside, even when they are overflowing inside our garbage, but when they start coming inside- it means war!

For the past 3 years now my husband had been able to fight back and win the battle with ants. This is especially when, as landlords, our tenants would sometimes call us asking to save them from these invading little legged creatures. Instead of calling our home warranty company who would readily charge a minimum of $45 just to come and spray, my husband figured out that we can do this ourselves and save a bundle. He went to Home Depot and got a product which has proven to get rid of ants and some other bugs. Although the product claims to be able to kills other insects like all types of beetles, example Asian Lady Beetles, Centipedes, Cockroaches, Crickets, Fleas, Flies, Mosquitoes, Pantry Pests, Scorpions, Spiders (such as Black Widow, Brown Recluse, and Hobo) Silverfish and Ticks, I would like to state that this review will only be for ants since we only had problems with them...so far. According to the label it kills all types of ants including Carpenter Ants. The Ortho Home Defense Max comes in 1.33 GAL. (5.03L), which costs around $12.44 plus tax. It is fast acting, non-staining, and odor free. It comes with its own pull 'n spray, which is the easy way to spray.
