The Comfort Wand makes application a breeze, allowing for precise targeting of areas where insects tend to hide and breed. With just a few sprays, I was able to create a protective barrier around my home, preventing ants, spiders, and roaches from entering.
What truly sets this insecticide apart is its effectiveness. Within a short time of applying it, I noticed a significant reduction in the number of pests around my home. Plus, the long-lasting formula provides continuous protection for weeks, giving me peace of mind knowing that my home is protected from unwanted intruders.
Overall, I highly recommend the Home Defense Insect Killer to anyone looking for a reliable and effective solution for controlling insects indoors and around the perimeter of their home. It’s a must-have for keeping pests at bay and maintaining a pest-free environment.
Update 7/20
As I was preparing for this week’s treatment, the sprayer stopped working and after some troubleshooting there was still no suction with plenty of battery power.
I write to ortho and here’s their response;
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.
* Occasionally, some crystallization can clog the sprayer. After disconnecting the red plug from the cap soak the spray tip/nozzle in warm soapy water. This may dislodge any crystallized matter. The sprayer tip can be readily pulled off and snapped back on after cleaning
* 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.
* Batteries have a shelf life that will last through approximately two 1.33 bottles. It is possible that the batteries need to be replaced. The unit holds either 3 or 4 Double-A (AA) batteries (depends on the wand version). Replace the old batteries with fresh ones to see if that fixes the spraying issue.
* 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.
All Good advice but none of that helped with my issue.
I write to Amazon and they immediately offer a no fuss replacement. This is why I love Amazon- Excellent customer service and they will continue to have my business.
First and foremost, it gets the job done. It not only kills ants, roaches, and spiders but does so effectively and efficiently. The fast-drying formula means you don't have to wait around for hours for it to work, which is a big plus.
What I love most about this product is its odorless nature. There's nothing worse than dealing with strong chemical odors in your home after using an insect killer. With Ortho Home Defense, there's no unpleasant smell to contend with. It leaves your home feeling fresh and clean.
The 1.33-gallon size is a fantastic value for the price, and it covers a considerable area. You won't need to constantly restock, which is a cost-effective and convenient feature.
Using it is a breeze. The ergonomic design of the spray nozzle makes it easy to apply precisely where you need it. I've used it both indoors and around the perimeter of my home with excellent results.
In summary, Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer is a top-notch product. It does exactly what it promises, is odorless, dries quickly, and offers great value for the quantity provided. If you want an effective and hassle-free solution for keeping your home insect-free, I highly recommend giving it a try.
