Ortho BugClear Lawn Insect Killer1 – Kills Ants, Spiders, Ticks, Fleas, Armyworms & Grubs, 10 lb Granules Treats Up to 16,500 sq. ft.

This stuff works! I have been using it for a year now, applying about every 4 months. I noticed that there are rarely bugs of any kind crawling around my yard, or garden. It also kills grubs, so moles have nothing to eat, and moved away. Application requires a hand spreader, or broadcaster of some type. I use a grass seed hand spreader and that works perfectly. After applying the granular material, you need to heavily water it in, so it gets down into the soil. That kills off all kinds of creepy crawlies that dwell in your soil, lying in wait to wreak havoc. It has no noticeable smell. I’d say that it’s easy to use, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. It’s a good size bag, and covers a lot of area. Ortho seems to be a pretty reliable brand of pest control, so it’s a quality product in my opinion. I’ve used other pest control products, and they didn’t seem to work. This stuff does, and it lasts for months! I’ve even note that there are less mosquitoes, and flying bugs. But the bees still come around, and that’s important to me. Bees are a crucial part of our ecosystem, and I don’t want to effect them in any way. I think I’ve covered all the bases. I hope my review helped you 😊

recently tried Ortho Bug Lawn Killer, and I’m really impressed! It works exactly as advertised—my lawn has never looked better. The bugs that used to be a problem are completely gone, and the grass looks healthy and vibrant. I like how easy it is to apply, and it didn’t harm my plants at all. I also appreciate that it works quickly; I saw results within just a few days. Overall, I’m very happy with this product and will definitely keep using it to keep my lawn bug-free. Highly recommend!

I've tried all sorts of hose sprayers for anything from crickets in the bushes under the window to mosquitos in the perimeter area. Recently moved to a humid environment where mosquitos are a serious burden for half the year. Can end up with 1-5 bites in a matter of minutes some days. So I spray down the stairway outside my door, walkway and yard edge where the pesky bugs like to hang out the most. This Ortho spray doesn't smell as strong as other brands, but it does appear to work with far less mosquitos buzzing around as I saturated the zone pretty well - front sidewalk, outside stairs, upper deck and lawn edge. The sprayer bottle output is awful !! Mine didn't leak but it only sprayed about 10 feet out and 5 feet wide with zero option to adjust. I have a wood outdoor stairway that needs spraying and the Ortho bottle wouldn't even make it up halfway up the the height from the ground. Unlike other sprays, the Ortho does not leave a noticeable toxic sheen behind, which can sometimes be irritating to the skin if touched weeks later ... Does that mean it won't last as long or isn't doing its job? Guess we'll see. All in all it seems like a decent mosquito bug repellent, but the disposable bottle sprayer mechanism needs a huge upgrade.

Worked beautifully , my property backs into wetlands and this cut back bugs in my yard, especially ticks ! I mowed the lawn on my riding mower and somehow got ticks on me they were so bad, I used this and didn’t get anymore after that

CANT SAY IT KILLS THE GRUBS..STILL HAVE MOLE PROBLEMS.. GET RID OF THE GRUBS--NO MOLES IM GOING BACK TO MY OTHER PRODUCT.. KEPT OUT GRUBS FOR 20-YEARS, UNTIL I TRIED THIS PRODUCT..

This stuff works great keeps the bugs away

Does not kill, but they moved out of the yard lol. Have to watee it per instructions within 24 gours or will. Not work at all

As a former Pest Control Professional, Bifenthrin (the active ingredient in this product) is a long established and highly effective insecticide. You won't find a pest control company that doesn't use Bifenthrin as part of their PC program. It is used indoors (as a liquid spray), outdoors as "border control", and in turf grass (granular or liquid) to control dozens of insects. In the south, Chinch Bugs are perhaps our biggest turf grass enemy- particularly in St Augustine grass, and Bifenthrin is highly effective (especially as part of a 1-2 punch described in more detail below) Ortho BugClear is one of the best values for Bifen (for short) even compared to their own competing product "Lawn Insect Killer". BugClear has nearly DOUBLE the Bifen, and is labeled to cover 1.5"+ times the square feet of turf, yet is priced comparably. In other words, if you choose the "Lawn Insect Killer" from Ortho, you are spending nearly twice as much! Now, the 1-2 punch for Chinch bugs. Cyhalothrin in combination with Bifen. Cyhalothrin comes in various formulations (Gamma, Lambda), but I am too far removed from my PC days to even know the differences, but don't get hung up on that. It is classified as a micro-encapsulated insecticide and is also very effective indoors and out for control of a multitude of insects. It is available in many OTC products including Spectracide Triazicide (the best value I have found OTC) in both liquid and granular. For Chinch bugs, I alternate between the granular and liquid versions of Cyhalothrin and Bifen four times a year. Chinch bugs are a summer problem, but this punch is highly effective against fire ants, Mole Crickets, somewhat for grubs, and other fall/winter pests. (white grubs are a whole other issue and you want a product with an active ingredient like Imidacloprid (a synthesized nicotine product) to catch them in the spring while the June Beetles are laying their eggs in your yard). Alternate the 1-2 granular/liquid approach 3-4 times a year in your lawn, and 90% or more of the pests you fight won't have a chance, and you can control them with these OTC products for an entire year for less than a month or two of a lawn professional (who will likely be using the same active ingredient products). If you have a large yard, explore some of the retailers that offer "pro grade" products with the same active insecticides for bulk sale to anyone in most states. But for most, this insect control program will do the job for a relatively low cost with products available on Amazon, or your local home improvement store.
