    • Better than any other roach medecine!!!
Size: 12 OZ Style: Mound Treatment
I was recommended this for roaches. Yes i had roaches it was emberrassing. We would bomb my house evry 3 months and still have roaches. Used roach gel. Roach baits from advion. But the first time i used this was the last time i had roaches! I cleaned wiped all the areas where there was roaches. Vaccumed all the corners. Then poured lightly in all the edges inside cabinets. Didnt cook for a few days. Went on vacay and no roaches. It stinks. But worth it. ... show more

    • Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer: Because Your Yard Deserves to be a Fire Ant-Free Zone
Size: 2 - 12 OZ Bottles Style: Mound Treatment
Fire ants, huh? The little buggers that turn your backyard into a battlefield. You’re just trying to enjoy your Sunday BBQ, and suddenly, BAM, you’re fighting for your life against tiny red demons who seem to think your feet are their personal target practice. Well, guess what? Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer is here to save the day, and it’s not playing around. This stuff is like the fire extinguisher of the insect world, except it works faster and is much better at not causing fires. Let’s break this down: Ortho’s got a secret weapon, it starts working in 60 minutes. That’s right, in the time it takes for you to binge-watch one episode of The Walking Dead, this stuff is already in action, tearing through fire ant colonies like it’s a one-man wrecking crew. And not just the worker ants, oh no. It goes straight for the queen too, because if you want to stop the operation, you go straight to the top, right? Think of it as a tactical strike on the entire fire ant empire. And don’t worry about messing around with complicated instructions. Just sprinkle this 12 oz. of fire ant-fighting magic on the mound and sit back while the ants get their eviction notice. If you’ve got a serious fire ant issue, grab the 2-Pack, because you’re going to want backup. PROS: • Kills the queen: It’s like a game of Ants vs. Us, and guess who’s winning? You, with the queen gone and the rest of her minions scrambling for survival. • Starts working in 60 minutes: It’s like a turbocharged anti-ant missile. If ants had feelings, they’d be seriously bummed right about now. • Easy to use: Just sprinkle it, and BAM, instant karma for the ants. No complicated steps, just results. • Kills mounds: If you’ve got a yard full of fire ant mounds, this stuff is like a party crasher, coming in and taking down all the invitations before they can even spread. • Effective: It works like a charm. If only we could get it to work as quickly on other pests, like that guy who always parks too close to you at the grocery store. CONS: • You might need more than one application: If you’ve got a major infestation, you might need to go back for seconds. But hey, ants aren’t known for being smart. • Can be a little dusty: A small price to pay for watching those pesky ants disappear into oblivion. In short, if you’re tired of feeling like the fire ant king’s personal doormat, Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer is the hero you’ve been waiting for. It’s quick, effective, and gets straight to the point. You’ll be able to enjoy your yard without worrying about fiery critters popping up like uninvited guests. Consider it your personal fire ant bodyguard. Because who doesn’t want that kind of protection? ... show more

    • Stinks but works!!
Size: 12 OZ Style: Mound Treatment
I saw a few reviews before I purchased this and wow!! I definitely agree with those of you who said this stinks. It smells like old cabbage and sulfur and the smell lingers for a few days. The bottle is huge, a little bit goes a long way. Used this in the kitchen under the fridge and outside along the back door and when I tell you it kills bugs so fast.... I mean it. I haven't seen a live bug inside since using this. It killed the ants and junebugs outside and the little black carpet beetles I had inside. The bottle is still full. I don't think I'll ever have to use it again but if I do, I have plenty. Definitely recommend. ... show more

Size: 2 - 12 OZ Bottles Style: Mound Treatment
This works wonders! I had new neighbors move in and they brought all the critters with them! It was an infestation. Within a week of using this stuff, they decreased DRASTICALLY. Writing two weeks to one month, the bugs were completely gone. The smell is a bit overwhelming at first but you get used to it. Just clean it up ABs replace every few days if it’s such a bother. ... show more

    • This stuff works!
Size: 2 - 12 OZ Bottles Style: Mound Treatment
I recently purchased this fire ant killer, and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance. After spotting a few mounds in my yard, I needed something powerful and easy to apply to get rid of these pesky invaders. This product did not disappoint. First off, the application was incredibly straightforward. The granules were easy to spread around the mounds, and the instructions were clear and simple. I didn’t have to worry about complex mixing or special equipment—just sprinkle and wait. Within hours, I started noticing fewer ants, and by the next day, the mounds were completely inactive. The formula works fast, which is exactly what I needed to quickly eliminate the problem without worrying about re-treatment. However I’m not sure if it is safe for pets or other plants. This would be my only concern if using around pets, kids, or a vegetable garden. In summary, if you're dealing with a fire ant infestation, this product is a game-changer. It works quickly, is easy to apply, and provides lasting results. I’ll definitely keep this on hand for any future ant problems. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • Works for roaches
Size: 2 - 12 OZ Bottles Style: Mound Treatment
We had a pretty bad roach infestation. I saw on Tik Tok that this worked for roaches too. I had to order it to my BF's house in Cali and pick it up during my trip and bring it back home to PA with me because I couldn't ship it to me. When i tell you this worked like magic! Man... I spread behind my most problem area and in the morning my kid woke uo and texted me at work and said she had to sweep the dead roaches. I didn't even know there were so many! There's only a few stragglers now so going to spread again and hope to kill the rest. I still have more than a bottle and a half left too. It does stink a bit so i spread it at night and let it work it's magic. ... show more

    • Really worked
Size: 2 - 12 OZ Bottles Style: Mound Treatment
I had been using another brand for fire ants and it wasn’t getting rid of them for long. This did, I checked the mounds a week later and there were no active ants. The price for 2 was very reasonable. The fact that it worked so good was really good.
