  • Exceeded my expectations!
Color: Comfort Wand
I cannot say enough good about this product. I have had flea problems in the past and I know what a task it is and how to get rid of them. It is no easy chore. One of the most difficult parts, is finding a product that actually works. I know how to prep before spraying or fogging. It is essential that you vacuum and vacuum well and pull furniture out from walls before you bomb or use any type of flea product. So of course I did that. I truly had an infestation at this point in time. You couldn't be in the room for more than a minute and they were crawling all over your legs. It was awful at night during the day all the time it was just getting worse. It got out of control in less than a week. So I have ordered exterminators to come to the house in the past. And they have had to come back multiple times to get rid of the flea problem. It's just one of those issues that you know it's going to be a while to get rid of. At least in my experience. I did my research and I believe Precor Foggers are one of the best Foggers on the market. But there again you'll probably have to use the product after 2 weeks of using the product the first time. But I am not for sure on this as it is my first time that I have purchased procore Foggers. While waiting for the Foggers to get to the house with a 3-day delivery I became impatient and noticed that I could buy the product bed bug and flea control and have it delivered the same day. To boot it was only 20 bucks. What could I have to lose. At least I could spray the damn bed and carpet and maybe get one night of sleep without getting attacked by bed bugs. That was all that I expected out of this cheap product or so I thought. I truly cannot say enough good things about this product. As I said I am currently waiting for my father's to arrive which will be tomorrow. At this point I honestly don't even know if I need them. I can't even believe that I am saying that right now. I bought one gallon and I addressed two of the rooms that were most significant with the flea infestation. I vacuumed very well pulled everything out from the walls and began spraying. I am telling you that within 2 hours I did not feel a thing crawling or see anything jumping around. I do not even believe my own words right now. I have adequate adequately sprayed both rooms with one gallon and even had a chance to do the hallways in the house that I was walking to and from those rooms. Just to make certain. I cannot find one damn flea in this house. I am simply amazed and flabbergasted that this product has single-handedly combated my infestation of two rooms with only one gallon and even had left over to do area rugs in the hallways. There is not one bug living in this house. There is not one bug on my dog. There is not one bug in my bed. I slept like a baby last night without any interference for the first time in weeks. I was able to walk around my room this morning and not a single flea had jumped on me not one nor have I been able to find one anywhere in this house. I simply have to say this product is an absolute winner and a must buy. I have stubborn fleas I always do when I get an infestation it was due to negligence of my roommate who forgot to put flea spray on his cats for 2 months and brought fleas into the house and it quickly developed into an infestation Within those two months then it was attacking my dog who I give advantage to and never has fleas my dog began to get infested even while taking the advantage monthly application and I've had to give him two or three flea baths a week to keep up so when I tell you it was an infestation I do not make light of the situation. I have had them before in my life and know how difficult it is to get rid of. I I'm not sure if I will have to reapply in 2 weeks but at this point I couldn't be happier. I did buy another gallon just to make sure I have it on hand at all times for 20 bucks who would be stupid enough not to buy this A1 product. Don't waste your money with any other more expensive or powders or other products this was the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. It couldn't have been more effective and the price you can't beat do yourself a favor save yourself the headaches get the same day delivery like I did and put your troubles to rest you will not be disappointed this stuff is fantastic my hat's off to ortho for a fine product better than the exterminators I've had in the past by far I just don't understand how this product has surpassed all others that I've used in all other services that I've used hands down the best. ... show more

  • Do not set your house ablaze, use this!
Color: Comfort Wand
I rarely leave reviews but I felt the need to for this product. I’ve been dealing with a flea infestation for the past week and would get bit nonstop. After browsing for a bit I saw this product and the reviews were pretty good so I caved in. Let me just say, this will be worth your money. My flea infestation has been a nightmare but I was able to treat my dog before all. This should be your main goal if you have pets as they’re the main targets. I got my dog on vet approved Nexgard (life changing but expensive) and that has helped a lot. However, my bed, my rugs, even my couch were impossible to walk around without feeling like you’re getting ate alive (the fleas). Then I sprayed this thing all over, the crevices that did not have furniture. I live alone so I’m unable to move the bigger stuff without possibly developing an hernia. I just sprayed around basically. Although, I definitely recommend moving all furniture because the product requires direct contact to kill the fleas. By the next day, I could see a BUNCH of dead fleas on my rug, and even more after vacuuming. After that I’ve been able to walk around with minimal biting which is to be expected, it has only been two days. But it has been so good at bringing me a peace of mind that something is improving. I’m having pest control visit this week just to have the pros do their thing since the infestation is crazy. But I will admit this product has allowed me not to hate being at my apartment. It will be gross if your case is as bad as mine, but you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. I used a bottle for my carpeted bedroom and hallway, and still had plenty left to cover the living room, couch, and bathroom! I bought more because of how good it’s been (a total of three bottles). It has worked great considering I haven’t been as thorough as I wished (can’t move the heavy stuff). The places that you spray will kill the fleas, and every other bug living with you. You should vacuum before you use the spray for best results. Give it 24 - 48 hours to sit in your rug before vacuum so that the chemicals properly settled. Vacuum again and voila! Always make sure to toss out flea related trash immediately because they are parasites and will reproduce in your bin/vacuum if not cleaned properly. I hope this helps anyone! I live alone with my dog and haven’t had a day of peace in the past week until I saw the spray working. I understand how frustrating and expensive the experience is, so just know it does get better if you try your best! ... show more

  • Great product!!
Color: Comfort Wand
I don't leave reviews often.. but this product is worth it.. I had fleas in my apt. Guess they were coming in from outside because I don't have pets.. I couldn't even go in my kitchen and bathroom w/o getting attacked by fleas.. I felt like a prisoner in my own home.. I tried several other products, they helped some but they didn't get rid of them.. I read the reviews on this product, crossed my fingers and ordered.. let me say the setup is easy and the sprayer is phenomenal!!!.. I sprayed my bathroom and kitchen down.. sprayed baseboards and around my hot water heater.. Anywhere where I thought they could be coming in.. Day 2 of using and not a flea on me so far.. this stuff did in 2 days what I had been trying to do for weeks.. And it doesn't have that loud bug spray smell.. it's pleasent, dries quickly, doesn't leave a bad residue and IT WORKS!! And you get a decent amount of product for the cost! If you have a flea problem. I highly recommend!! ... show more

  • Very affective in eliminating fleas however can be messy.
Color: Comfort Wand
It works well at eliminating fleas. The sprayer functionality is fair, however can not be adjusted to spray the liquid out in a moderate wide angle when treating carpet. After the treatment dries it is not noticeable on carpet, remaining affective for roughly 20 to 24 days. When applying on hard flooring such as hardwood or vinyl, there a sticky film remains after it has dried. Requiring the floors to be mopped thus reducing effectiveness. So with hard flooring I found to avoid spraying the entire floor surface as you will be removing the treatment when mopping to clean up the sticky film. Visually it is very noticable. I now just spray a very light bead of this treatment where the baseboard meets the floor. ... show more

  • Great product!
Color: Comfort Wand
I've used this product multiple times, and it has become my go-to insect treatment. The Comfort Wand makes it easy to apply around baseboards, bed frames, cracks, and other hard-to-reach areas without making a mess. It's ready to use right out of the bottle, so there's no mixing or hassle. It dries quickly, doesn't have an overpowering odor, and gives me peace of mind knowing I'm treating the areas where pests tend to hide. The large one-gallon size goes a long way, making it a great value for the money. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy it again. ... show more

  • Fleas GONE!!!!!
Color: Comfort Wand
This is the ONLY product that I have found that wiped my fleas out. Now, you gotta do it every other day for about a week and they're gone. Spray well around the edges too, and I sprayed my whole carpet with it, and they are gone and I was infested with them. I was getting eaten up. And now I'm not, and can enjoy the rest of the summer. Go ortho.!!!!!!!! oh and the best part is that it's pet friendly, and there's no smell, residue, anywhere, and you can go right back in your room as soon as it's dry just turn on the fan. I love this stuff. ... show more

  • Works for me!
Color: Comfort Wand
As soon as I saw ants in early spring, I groaned. They are always a problem, greedy little creatures. So I got this! It’s absolutely overkill but I figured “why not!” Better to get all around protection than to battle each enemy individually. I have an upstairs apartment, and the building is old. Lots of points of ingress, bad insulation, windows and doorframes that don’t seal etc. I did the whole perimeter, and the outside of the doors and my door mats. I have not seen hide nor hair of bugs since and it’s already almost July. I will be doing this every year, it’s very comfortable. ... show more

  • Seemed to be the cure at first but not much help against the relapse
Color: Comfort Wand
We've had a bed bug problem apparently brought here on a chair from a nursing home. We used the Ortho product by the gallons, and it seemed to work. 6- 8 months later the demon bugs were back. This time in other locations, and no amount of Ortho spray seemed to phase them. I never liked their sprayer nozzzle which just seems to spit out large drops no matter how the tip is set, so fine control into crevices and the like isn't possible. Encasing mattresses has done more than this spray did over the long haul. Switching to alternate insecticide formulas & brands currently.. ... show more
