it says kills on contact and I wanted to test it so since I also have fire ants in my yard I purposely put so on the mounds and continued putting it out on the yard. I checked back a few minutes later and there were hundreds of dead fire ants on top of the mound. since I put it out right before it was supposed to be light rain I didn't water it in. I've noticed that I'm not seeing any insects other than just now and then

took care of gnats in lawn.. awesome

Very effective Works fast. Highly recommend this product

I swear by this stuff. I have been using the granules for 6 years now and I have never have Fire Ants and it cost down on the fleas. This is an A product and I will continue to use this from here on out. BEST STUFF EVER

Ortho offers great lawn enrichments to keep grass healthy.

I used Ortho BugClear on my lawn this spring and saw results within days. Ants, ticks, and even grubs disappeared quickly, and the yard has stayed clear for months. The granules spread easily with a standard Scotts spreader, and watering them in was simple. I especially appreciate the long-lasting ant control—it’s been over three months and no new mounds. Great product for anyone dealing with multiple lawn pests.

Seems to work still deciding on longevity.

No bugs. Definitely have to follow instructions for dispersing onto yard..

ants are primary insect problem. i Am not sure if i put correct amount, so i will re-apply to hills that did not go away. i have watered each place product applied.

This repellent does not work. Do not waste your money. I applied to my front and back yard to repel and kill spiders and ants. Spiders and ants are still alive and thriving in both areas. The was no difference, so I did it a second round. The spiders and ants are still alive and thriving well. I will try another product that works as this one is such a waste and disappointment.
