Ortho Bug B Gon Max Insect Killer for Lawns (Kills 100+ Insects for 3 Months Including Ants, Chinch Bugs, Fleas, and Ticks)

We recently bought a home with a big bug problem in the yard. The yard was covered in blackberries so after removing those we had to get rid of all the critters. I bought one of these bags for our 7600 sq ft lot. It was just enough cover all of the grass, the two main flower beds, the vegetable garden, and do a perimeter around the house. We weren't able to do everything, but I think thats because of the perimeter around the house, which should be poured heavier than when you sprinkle it on the grass. If you have a large lot and plan on doing a perimeter AND pouring it on a large area of grass AND covering some flower/veg beds buy two bags! We have a dog. I followed the directions completely and no issues. I hosed everything down very well, let it dry then hosed it down again just to be sure. The dog didn't try to eat it (he eats everything, Corgi). Its been a few weeks and the bugs are gone. All I see now are spiders, but only in the yard, havent had any in the house since I poured the perimeter.

Applied the product to help combat problem with carpenters ant. After applying to the perimeter of the house, I have not seen any ants inside my home for about 2 months. Not sure if the product was able to kill the queen ant and her colony because I still see occasional ants outside my home, especially near the deck area. To be fair, it was harder to apply this product near the deck area because the deck is covering the soil and I do not want any chemicals lingering on the deck where my 8 year old son can come into contact with.

I had used this product every year since moving into my home on the mountain 10 years ago. Last year I switched to a different product and had a problem with ants that took about 2 weeks to get under control. Went back to this product again this year and while ants have been seen on the other side of the driveway, they are no place to be found across my treated perimeter. I will be going back to my 2X per season treatment indefinitely! I was able to purchase a 20lb. bag for the price of the 10 lb. offered here locally so make sure you get a good price.

I’ve been using this product for almost a decade and it performs superior to lake products in terms of suppressing the formation of ant colonies and I anecdotally think it has reduced the number of ticks we pull off of our pet.

I thought this stuff hadn't worked since I still saw ants as before and would have given it one star, but at the end of summer I realized my little boy had only had one or two ticks all season which made me think again. I didn't want to cover the yard with chemicals, but the risk of Lymes disease would have kept him indoors which is lame for kids. It doesn't kill grubs. If it did, I'd give it four stars even though I hated using it. Don't buy this if you don't have a spreader to use. Casting it by hand is gross and ineffective.

We have two dogs who had terrible flea problems last summer. Lots of squirrels and raccoons running around the yard day and night and they bring the fleas with them. Used this for the first time this summer and literally have not had a single incident with fleas. I cannot stress how stressless this product is. No worrying about using frontline that only lasts a short time. No worrying about fleas actually jumping on the dogs in the first place since they are kept away from the yard altogether. It's a money saver and takes the flea battle to their turf instead of in your home or on your pet.

Works great! In Florida, we have plenty of bugs and as someone who has better things to do than install and maintain quality turf, the bugs can stack up. Before using this product, it wasn't uncommon to walk through the yard and see bugs jump and scatter as I went. What little grass there was, wasn't doing too well either. Since putting this down, the lawn looks better and there are very very few bugs. While not using this on my garden, I've noticed less bugs making it to my garden from the lawn thanks to this product. Seems to create a nice barrier around it!

Works great and easy to use with a spreader. I've noticed a significant difference in the amount of bugs in my yard since previous years when I didn't use this product. I even have noticed less mosquitoes even though this advertises for just getting rid of bugs on the ground. With 2 dogs, this has been a good investment in them not getting fleas or ticks. I'll use this from year to year from now on.

It would be useful if the Review request was sent after the purchaser would actually had the opportunity to evaluate the product. Will this product, it will be next Spring when the results will be known and an evaluation can be made.
