    • My Secret Roach Fix
Size: 12 OZ Style: Mound Treatment
No idea how this works as an ant killer, but let me tell you over the last 3 years, only two bottles of this have completely fixed all my roach problems in my apartment. I just sprinkle a little where I see roaches, and it keeps them away for months. It’s so easy to clean up afterward just sweep and mop the powder, and you’re done. In terms of value for money, it’s outstanding. A single container lasts a very long time (lasted me more than a year) since you only need small amounts at a time. The powder itself has a plain, functional appearance nothing fancy, but it does the job. The container comes with a secure seal that keeps the product fresh and easy to store without spills. As for toxicity, I handle it carefully (gloves and washing hands after use), and so far I’ve had no issues indoors as long as I use it sparingly and responsibly. I recommend this to everyone, it’s absolute gold for unexpected pest problems. ... show more

    • Effective and fast! Goodbye to fire ants.
Size: 12 OZ Style: Mound Treatment
Review Image by Yomaira Padron Yomaira Padron
I've been dealing with fire ant mounds in my yard for years and had tried several products without much success. I decided to try Ortho-Orthene Fire Ant Killer1 on a recommendation, and it really works much better than expected. Applying the powder is very easy: I simply sprinkled it directly onto the mounds as directed, and in less than a day there was no visible activity. The best part is that it kills the queen, so they don't return to the same location like other products do. A single application was enough to eliminate several mounds in my backyard. The 12-ounce package goes a long way: according to the packaging, it can destroy up to 162 mounds, and from what I've seen, it's true. There's no need to mix with water or use special equipment. It's a very convenient dry powder with visible results in a matter of hours. Highly recommended for those looking for a fast and long-lasting solution against these pests. ... show more

    • Effective against cockroach infestations
Size: 12 OZ Style: Mound Treatment
Review Image by Lilianny Rodriguez Lilianny Rodriguez
Although Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer is designed to eliminate fire ants, I decided to try it for a cockroach problem in my apartment. In just one week, I noticed an impressive reduction until they completely disappeared. In my case, I applied a very thin layer of the powder on the floor, inside the kitchen cabinets, and in the corners, and that made a noticeable difference. The product is easy to use thanks to its dry powder format, and its action was faster than I expected. I was surprised by how well it worked in my situation, even though it’s not its intended use. I always recommend reading and following the manufacturer’s instructions, but my experience was very positive and effective for controlling this pest. ... show more
