          At the first sign of moles, we immediately headed to HD for Lawn Insect Killer. If you rid the yard of the food source (grubs), we get rid of the moles. This product was easy to apply with a spreader, listed all the insect and bugs we needed to get rid of and offers 6 months control. My number one when reading the label, it is safe for people and pets after being watered. We put the dog up and watered the yard. It rained the next few days. As you can see in the pictures, our yard is very green and mole free. This is the first time using the brand, we are very pleased with the results.

          Product when opened was gray and not brown.
          I am not sure sbout the effective of the product, three of the ten bags bought whrn opened was gray. I contacted the manufacturer after using the first bag and the second was brown as I expected. They couldn't tell me if product was still good. manufacturer asked for pictures and offered to reimburse me but required I opened all the bags to eliminate the good from the bad. I had to open bags that I didn't plan on using at the moment so I have three opened unused bags

          Response from Ortho Consumer ServicesOct 14, 2022
          We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Bug B-Gon Lawn Insect Killer and appreciate your feedback.

          This product has a minimum shelf life of 3 years when properly stored, but will often last longer. When storing, close bag tightly and seal with strong tape. Store out of direct sunlight and moisture. We recommend storing most products off the floor such as up on a shelf to help prevent absorbing moisture through the tiny vent holes. Freezing temperatures will not damage granular products or packaging.

          We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist. ortho

          My yard is an insect haven
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently spreaded some tall fescue around my yard due to the abundance of shade and water. I walked through so many spider webs and received so many flea and mosquito bites. I have professional pest control but it rains so much here in North Georgia that whatever it is they are spraying is not effective. I spreaded this all over my yard mostly on the muddy areas and leaves as I read it would also make the standing water bad for the bugs. So far the fleas have been reduced and even though its not noted I hope it can reduce the mosquito larvae in the water. In the future I will definitely do my own pest control since I Can control the concentration but will keep the termite service since they are so prevalent here in Georgia.

            Bug killer for your lawn and home
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This summer I had a lot of ants crawling around my home. I used this product to treat my lawn and around the foundation of the home. You want to pay attention to the information on the package so you know what insects it's able to kill and for how long. The 6 month control is mainly for ants. Most other critters have 3 months control. For the lawn I used a Scotts spreader to apply the product. Set the spreader to the proper setting and apply it like any other granule products for your lawn. For the foundation around the home, I used a Scotts handheld spreader. The handheld spreader allow me to get into tighter spaces. You should water the treated area for best result. After couple of days, I am not seeing ants like I was seeing before. So far it seems to be working. One bag can treat quite a large area so you can either spot treat several areas like I did or apply it to the entire lawn.

              Kills bug
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bug-b-gon is really easy to apply. There is not a strong smell like some granular products. It stays in place on the ground. I saw that bugs were completely eliminated. I have not seen any bugs inside of the house too. I want to keep bugs from inside and outside the premises.

                Works great
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ortho Bug B-gon lawn insect killer was very easy to use, and it spreads out evenly . It started working almost right away, I had a serious problem with ants in my yard and I tried numerous products and they don't even compare to this one. I'm so happy that I don't have to worry about my 6 year old getting bit by ants anymore.

                  Great product
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ortho bug b- hon lawn insect killer is such a great product. Evenly apply the insect killer across your area. Apply to your lawn area in spring or summer. Do not spread in the rain. Spread during a nice day. It will control the area you spread it on for three to six months time. All you have to do if you see insects is just repeat the application. Great product. I would highly recommend!

                    Read the label! I m a big fan of Ortho products. I have a half acre property with lots of trees, shrubs, garden space, lawn, and four structures. Keeping pests under control is a constant battle. I use a lot of spray concentrate but the lawn and some areas are better treated with the granules. I have used the red bag for years on these areas and it is rated for three months. To be honest I have rarely treated more than once a year but I am hoping this 6 month product will prove even more effective. My rating is based on my use of the red bag. I am waiting for it to warm up a little before I apply this new product. We just had snow yesterday.

                    I have been using Orth Bug B-Gon for several years. It works. I live in central Texas and we have lots of creepy crawlers. A schedule is needed for this to work correctly. For me, the schedule is every four months I spread a bag over 3/4 acre. I use a common spreader with wheels - see video. We have lots of St. Augustine grass and many flower beds. I run up in the flower beds also. I think this has a secondary effect of getting rid of the fire ants also as their food source is messed up. I have no problem with loss of bees, butterflies or lady bugs. My vegetable garden and flowers do fine. Good product.
