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.

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.

Easy to spread,did the job!

I found dead bugs outside of my house for weeks. The flying beetles or junebugs that fly around in the summer were dropping like flies from this stuff. It works very well for the yard and around the house. Must reapply to kill the ants because the ants will come back, they are just annoying like that. All the other bugs were gone.

I was having a pest problem and since the foam that the exterminator sprays seems to just wash away when it rains, I tried this. After a couple of days I definitely noticed a difference. I figured that instead of spraying pesticides in the house, I should treat the yard instead. This stuff really did the trick. I'm not saying that all the bugs are completely gone, but I hardly see them anymore at all! The bags are bigger and cheaper at Lowe's, though. And I used it in addition to Seven dust/powder.

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 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.
