Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer for Lawns Granules - Common Insects Treated
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
AntsAnts are common pests throughout the world. They are a nuisance, largely because of the annoyance caused by their presence - constructing mounds in the lawn or invading the home from the yard in search of food. |
FleasAdult fleas are no larger than 1/8 inch long. They are reddish-brown, wingless insects that are laterally compressed, so they look as if they are walking on edge. |
TicksAlthough ticks are commonly thought of as insects, they are actually arachnids like spiders and mites. They have 4 pairs of legs and no antennae. They lie in wait for a passing deer, pet, or person to walk near the shrub or grass they are perched on. |
SpidersSpiders can be found throughout the country. If you have the occasional fly or gnat in the house, chances are you’ll also have spiders in the house. Spiders live on bugs, but not enough to be considered for pest control. |
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Chinch BugsAdult chinch bugs are about one-fifth of an inch long and black with white wings folded over their backs. Chinch bugs feed on many kinds of lawn grasses, but St. Augustine grass and Zoysia grass are favorites. |
CutwormsIf you see spots of brown grass and birds pecking at your lawn, you could be facing a cutworm infestation. |
Mole CricketsMole crickets can be twice as long as their singing cousins - and their tunneling can ruin your lawn. |
Sod WebwormsSod webworms are the larvae of lawn moths. They live in the root level of your lawn and munch up the grass leaves. At root level, you’ll see small white tubes made of silky web. At dusk, you might even see the worms themselves. |

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.
Purchased this to get rid of spiders on the patio. Worked great to get rid of spiders. Did not work at all to reduce mosquito population.
But the spray apparatus is not well designed. About 1//2 of the produce sprayed backward and got on me. I had to wear rubber dish gloves to prevent drenching myself in it.
