Killed the bugs

Product was easy to mix up in my sprayer, easy to apply, and has shown to be very effective. Not only kills the bugs but with no food supply, most all of the moles have moved to other feeding grounds. Most anyway. Very good product.

This review is about the ready-to spray bottle version rather than the refill shown in the listing image. See my photo for the specific model. Apparently Ortho does not realize that aside from killing bugs, this is a consumer product and should function well during the application. This spray bottle is one of the worst I've used, although most other brands' spray bottles also have faults. Ideally a spray bottle should: - Spray in a moderately narrow angle for better control - Provide a few minutes of continuous spray, not too fast or too slow to allow for complete area coverage - Can be held and easily turned on/off with one hand - Doesn't leave unused product at the bottom - Can be easily opened to be refilled - Has a transparent stripe to show how much product is left This one failed in every regard. First it would not mix the product, spraying only with water. After I moved the switch a few times it water backed up into the bottle, filling it completely. The spray angle was far too wide, almost 180 degrees. The transparent stripe is almost useless because the product is watery and the level is hard to see. Worse yet, it's covered by the hose when in use. I decided to transfer the product to another bottle so I can apply it properly. Ortho has made that very difficult as well. Rather than a screw cap, this one is held by side notches that are difficult to get to. I ended up getting the product all over my hands.

I have used this product for years around home foundation and on plants susceptible to bugs, such as my roses and my tomato plants. It seems to have worked very well. I use it with an Ortho dial-sprayer that attaches to a garden hose. I have one sprayer for this and for liquid plant food applications and a different sprayer for Ortho's Weed B Gon, which also is a great product I have used for years.

I bought two quarts and mixed per label instructions and sprayed my yard 3 times two weeks apart. Fleas just laughed at me while climbing up my legs. WAMP WAMP. Won’t buy again…

Works great for ticks!

kills fast, chinch bugs, its easy to use, used it for 30 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this in conjunction with the ready-to-spray version. If has miraculously reduced my Japanese Beetle infestation on our forty rose bushes. We also notice a severe drop in other insects most noticeable are spiders.

First time purchasing this product, but it seems to work well.

I bought this to help with a pretty bad CRICKET problem in a basement apartment. Despite the worker in Home Depot INSISTING that NOTHING in their store will kill crickets, I purchased BUG B GON Concentrate. It is supposed to be for outdoor use, but I had no other choice. I sprayed it and left the apartment for 24 hours I used a 2x concentrated solution due to the guy's insistence that it will not work. Regardless, it has been 10 days, and I haven't seen a live cricket after day 2. I guess it works! . No stains, No bad smell, dried clean.

Good product very effrctive and easy to use.

Did not kill the moths and did not keep the moths from returning

LSU Ag. Center recommended this product to take care of Sod Webworms and it was much cheaper than what I had been using. This product worked great in getting rid of them but 2 applications are needed to take care of newly hatched worms.

I choose this item as the active ingredient, Bifin is what I have used for reliable perimeter pest control maintenance with good results treating about every 3 months year round in North Carolina. The increasing lack of choice for concentrate insecticides was a factor.

What has happened to this product? The chemistry has changed. I used this product for years mixing it with water in a gal jug. 1/2 " in the bottom of jug, add water and you had an instant mound kill in your hands. I'm working on the last two I purchased and then I'm done.

One one my cats roamed the neighborhood a couple of weeks ago and returned to my house.. It died the next day after returning and that is when I saw the thousands of fleas on the corpse. It had dropped fleas and flea eggs in and around my house. There was an explosion of fleas the past week. Just walking around my yard would have dozens of fleas jumping on my legs. I have tried other brands of flea killers that didn't work at all. Then I tried this Bug B Gon concentrate using my gallon sprayer. It does kill fleas and I could walk the sprayed areas without them jumping on me. But the next day the fleas were back and I do the same thing. I know the eggs are hatching and reinfest the area so I have to keep spraying every morning till they disappear. Indoors is a lot easier, they don't come back in great numbers, just a few here and there.

Seems to be killing the invasive Asian spotted lanternfly . Doesn't instantly kill them but find them dead later. Cheaper than ready mix.
