Tools and Hardware Reviews of Orange Guard Water Based Home Pest Control - 1 Gallon Bottle 101
Customer Review: Useful tips to make it REALLY work
Summary: 4 Stars
I have only used this to kill ants. Does it work? Absolutely. The trick is to spray enough to make them wet. They will die quickly. To keep them from coming back, the area must stay wet, don't wipe it up. When I first used this, I made the mistake of wiping it up after a few minutes as instructed and they always came back as soon as it was wiped up. Spray along the wall into the crevices where they are crawling in and they will not use that route to get in.
Porous surfaces are the best places to use this. For example, ants were attacking the water in the water bottle of my hamsters' cage (it's hot outside). I put the cage on some chux pads (absorbant pad on one side and water repellent plastic on the other), sprayed all around the cage. The ants kept coming in looking for water, but they can't get to the cage. They are all over the desk where my cage sits, but the cage is ant-free.
On more than one occasion, I've had an army full of ants in my dog's 5 gallon tin of dog food. I simply spray the container all around the exterior, killing all ants it immediately contacts and any ants unfortunate enough to cross the wet path. All other ants are repelled and run in circles within the container and on the lid to eventually all die. Ants outside the perimeter are left to find another food source.
The gallon size Orange Guard container comes with a manual spray pump attached by a thin flexible hose. I thought I'd be using it to refill my quart size bottle, but the spray handle is handy. I don't have to pour it out into a smaller bottle. Beware to shut off the spray nozzle before storing it. I neglected to do that and the Orange Guard leaked through the pump all over my laundry room. You know how those manual vacuum hoses they use to clean out fish tanks work? That's what happened with the Orange Guard.
Orange Guard is the only ant killer spray I use in the kitchen. It can get messy, but it works; and I don't worry so much about the kids and the dog. I do have one word of caution: this spray smells like strong citronella. Do not use it if you are sensitive to such fragrant scents.
UPDATE: The nozzle this came with eventually stopped working. I had to toss it and pour the Orange Guard into a smaller Orange Guard sprayer bottle.
