Surprisingly works but only this brand foam and liquid spray

M.M. · April 15, 2025

This brand specifically is the only brand I've experimented with that actually works for bedbugs . I've tried quite a few different sprays and it did nothing but this brands foam spray and the big liquid spay did the job and removed the issue . The instructions aren't correct though , you can't just use it one time and it solve the issue , for about two months I used the spray 1x a week . I used it around the rooms , used it like a cleaner on a napkin and washed our bedframes allowing it to dry and directly sprayed it on our mattresses and couch letting it dry than placing covers ontop . Spray it under your appliances as well like I sprayed it under our entertainment center , under the stove , under the fridge , any trims or cracks spray them ! I live in an apartment complex which means they travel unfortunately, I turned off our air conditioner and sprayed the whole outside around the vents and around every electric socket because they travel through there . They just had a bug inspector come and inspect every apartment we are one of the few they found 0 bugs , 0 eggs . Also after you spray and everything dries you'll want too keep vacuuming daily . I also use home defense insect killer and it kills indoor roaches but doesn't kill outdoor sewer roaches the only thing I've used that works on the big sewer roaches outside oddly enough is power wash dawn dish soap spray , you cover the outdoor roaches with it and it suffocates and kill them . I've also not had roaches inside in a couple years with the ortho home defense spray but I did use it outdoors and it did absolutely nothing to those giant nasty suckers . Hope this helps someone else that was desperately looking for a solution !

Buy the liquid spray instead

This item works best in an empty house. Not what I needed for the houses I lived in. The other product by ortho the bed bug tick and flea with the spray wand is my go to product. In the room that these bugs are in, I use the wand product and spray it everywhere, additional I clean the rest of the hard floors in the house with a bleach and water mixture and being I share a bathroom, I spray the ceramic title floor with rubbing alcohol before I go into it especially around the toilet. Let me start by saying now that I have experience with this issue, my boyfriend brought these bugs into my house 4 times. In short if you have a nested item throw it out, if you have carpet stream clean it, otherwise vacuum the rug and immediately empty canister in the trash outside then clean the vacuum. Three different houses. With that being said in the beginning I didn't know what to do. The first time, I moved us to one of my other houses and left everything behind. Went back and threw out the couch and the beds. The second time, I moved to another house, but this time I caught it earlier, only had to throw out the item that they nested in which was the couch. Mattress were already in encasements from my last lesson. The third time was the quickest I had ever gotten rid of them. He was at this point sleeping on an inflatable mattress. Threw out the mattress and steam cleaned the carpet. Our clothes were already in plastic totes. The fourth time I washed my sheets everyday then vacuumed the washed all the hardwood and ceramic floor with bleach and water mix. Every time I used the bathroom I sprayed the ceramic floor with rubbing alcohol. And then his room is sprayed everywhere with the ortho bed bug flea and tick spray wand product. Under the rugs edges, bed frame, between the encased box spring and mattress along the floor boards, around all the furniture. All laundry travel from his room in plastic bags right to the washer. To whom ever may have this issue I truly wish you the best. I bought everything and these where the products the worked for me.

Not completely useless

It was ok, it helped but didn’t completely wipe them out.

Absolutely Lethal

The most effective spray I've used before. Non staining. Creates a barrier, and if the little buggers crawl across they're dead before they make it. No noxious smell .Solved my problem 100%

Works as Part of a System

Having identified a bed bug problem and wanting to avoid the expense of a Pest Control company, I purchased these as part of a wide reaching routine and varied tactics. The traps worked, and so far as I know this product did as well, but it has limits.Here's the thing: bed bugs are in resurgence after being all but wiped out in the 50's. In that time, there have developed pesticide resistant bed bugs. That resistance isn't consistent, so approaching the problem with one product is likely to fail. As consumers, we tend to take that as the product was no good but when you have some resistant to one thing and others resistant to another, you have to expect that adhering to one product will be insufficient.What I can say is that, as part of a very vigilant routine done in offset two week cycles, the materials sprayed with the Home Defense Max Bed Bug Killer did claim some victims. The product description claims this compound will continue to kill up to 16 weeks, and that may be true, but I applied it every two weeks, along with my other alternative resources, because of how the bed bug life cycle works.So far, I have yet to see any new signs of them.
