Easy to use- keeps bugs away!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very pleased with this product. Like all things Ortho, it is easy to use and works as intended! The value is also a key purchasing point. It not only creates a three month barrier, but comes with ample product to last the entire season and more. I have spent 20 years using Ortho products to retain the look and quality of my yard. I will now also be using Ortho to keep it bug free.

Great stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Ortho BugClear lawn insect killer is some great stuff. It is fine granules and goes down super easy with any spreader. Make sure you read instructions on how much to put down depending on how you're spreading it. I made sure to follow the instructions and have noticed a tremeandous clearing up in our yard and will definitely make this a normal routine item I use.

False advertising. GRUBS, 6 MONTHS, 16,500 sq ft

False advertising worked on me. I was looking for Grub killer and BugClear looked like the best bang for the buck. 16,500 ft coverage and 6 month control and GRUBS all prominently displayed on the front of the bag. Yes, the back of the bag has asterisks pointing to even finer print with with more asterisks pointing to more fine print. Final note says that you should have bought GrubEX, because BugClear does NOT work well (even at double strength) on killing grubs. False advertising

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this in several different places. I apply this around the foundation of our house as we have ants coming into the house it has not seemed to work very well there. We had ants in a mailbox and I threw some in there and left for 1/2 of a day before removing it from the mailbox and around the base of the mailbox. I am pleased to say that it got rid of the ants in the mailbox and after a week I've not seen anymore there. I also threw some in and around our wood stack i have not seen any there lately.

Ortho BugClear first time used

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this product for approximately one month. So far so good! I don’t see any ant mounds around the lawn or other insects inside my islands. This is a 3 month barrier and it’s only been one month. In another two months I’ll update the rating.

DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE PETS- FALSE ADVERTISEMENTS

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE PETS! My dog is currently at an animal hospital after just stepping in the grass over 6 hours after product was placed. He became unconscious with seizures and tremors, and was unsure he was going to survive. He is still not in the clear and has cost thousands in treatments. The labeling is absolutely incorrect it shouldn’t say it’s safe when it’s not! A crap product!

No more ticks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a large garden with many raised beds with rough cut wood chips in-between on the walk-ways. However, last year there were so many ticks on the clothing even with short trips to the garden it really made going into the garden difficult. This spray however has really worked and we haven't had ANY trouble with ticks. Highly recommend!

Wonderful for ants!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After fighting ants coming into my house all summer I finally decided to try treating the source and am glad I did! After treating my yard with this there has been considerably less ants coming indoors. Would definitely recommend.

works wonders!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] every year we put a bug treatment down in our yard but this was our first time trying Ortho. it has smaller granules compared to similar products which made it spread more evenly. it also had less odor than what we used before which is absolutely a plus. at the heaviest setting, which is to repel bugs all season, 1 bag covered 2,500sq ft which was enough to do all around our house. it worked so well!
