Ants trailing along the kitchen baseboard, spiders settling into the garage corners, silverfish turning up in the basement. This spray from Ortho is built for those recurring trouble spots, indoors around doors, windows and bathrooms, and outdoors along foundations, patios and decks.
- 1.33 gallon container with a comfort wand for continuous one-touch spraying, no pumping or bending required
- Formulated for ants, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, scorpions, beetles, earwigs, centipedes and millipedes, as listed on the label
- Odor free, non-staining and dry within minutes, so rooms can be used again shortly after application
- Indoor barrier lasts up to 12 months on nonporous surfaces against ants, roaches and spiders
For application, keep the sprayer about 12 inches from the surface. Indoors, lay down a 4 inch band; outdoors, widen it to 12 inches along the exterior wall. Spray until slightly damp rather than saturated.
When treating a perimeter, work around the full exterior of the structure rather than focusing only on entry points you can see, since insects often follow foundation lines in areas that are not immediately visible. Pay attention to where the foundation meets the soil or mulch, as those transitions are common travel routes. After the initial application, a quick walkthrough every few months will help you catch new activity before it becomes established, and a fresh application to those spots keeps the barrier consistent over the year.
The 1.33 gallon size suits homeowners who want to treat a full house perimeter in a single session without refilling, which makes it more practical than smaller bottles for anything larger than an apartment or small unit. Store the container upright in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. When comparing similar products, look at whether the application method is a continuous-spray wand versus a separate pump sprayer, since the built-in wand reduces hand fatigue on longer applications. Also check that the label specifically lists the pests present in your home, as coverage varies between formulations even within the same product line.
