Orange Guard Home Pest Control Spray with D-Limonene | All-Natural Food Grade Orange Peel Oil for Bugs, Ants, Roaches, Fleas, Palmettos and Silverfish - 32oz

I used this for gnats. Kills on contact and leaves a pleasant smell. Pet & kid safe safe so I don’t have to worry about them around where I spray. If I could give it 100 stars I would!

THE SKINNY: • effectively kills and deters • provides peace of mind and worry-free usage • long-lasting EXTENDED REVIEW: I actually learned of Orange Guard in a conversation I had when I had the opportunity to meet the owner and creator of Orange Guard as he and his family live in my small town. I wasn’t necessarily in the market for a big spray, but after asking what he did for a living, I later went online and read more about the product. Though I’ve since purchased it online, I initially bought OG at a local hardware store after discovering I had a small stream of ants underneath my kitchen sink. USAGE: Normally, rather than attempting to kill ants by smothering my house with product, I prefer vacuuming up all visible ants and using a spray to create a sort of seal or deterrent near and around key entrance points. That way I’m neither breathing in or smelling copious amounts of chemicals. With Orange Guard, I don’t have to be nearly as scrutinizing over how much product I’m spraying as it’s both entirely natural and non-toxic. I still use the vacuum method to limit how much spray I’m using, but only bc it’s still got a pretty pungent smell. SMELL: The first thing you’ll notice with OG is in fact the smell... it’s a VERY concentrated citrus smell. Though it doesn’t smell “bad” (in fact I kind of like the way it smells), even the best smells can be overwhelming in large doses (think of that guy at the club who felt he needed 10 sprays of Drakkar Noir... nauseating!). Plus, it’s is rather acidic and such a concentrated amount can find its way to the back of your throat or deep within your nostrils, so no need to overdo it! Perhaps the worst invention was when popular brands of the poisonous alternative started adding scents to their products — I can’t think of a more dangerous and disregarding practice than attempting to mask something harmful with something pleasant, effectively causing people to spray and breathe high amounts of poison bc it no longer smelled of poison. EFFECTIVENESS: If we’re being entirely honest, OG is not as effective as it’s chemical-based alternatives. Like nearly all nature-based products — from cleaning supplies to detergents to medicine— custom-designed chemicals are hard to compete against. I’ve found the chemical-based products work FASTER, LONGER, and are ultimately more EFFECTIVE at both killing and deterring. HOWEVER... Orange Guard is still a highly effective product and while not necessarily the most capable, it absolutely gets the job down. But when you take into consideration the fact you’re not filling your home, and ultimately your LUNGS and the lungs of your loved ones, with harmful, probably cancer-causing toxins, it’s a no-brainer. I’d gladly take a product that’s roughly 85% as capable but 100% safer and healthier. Because ultimately all we’re really talking about are ants. And while admittedly annoying, I’m not ready to believe they’re so annoying as to justify willingly bringing poison into your home, your floors, your cabinets, and your bodies!

This pest control spray is a great product overall. It’s easy to use and works well once it starts taking effect. However, it does take multiple applications before you really start seeing noticeable results, so it requires a bit of patience. After continued use, it does help control pests effectively. Overall, it’s a solid product that works best with consistent application

I have one spot every year the ants come in... I tried this product for 5 days and they were actually gone in two days. Worked great and my cats would smell the orange and walk away from the ant. Pet safe is a good thing.

Orange guard works great,it keeps insects away from my house plants.Plus it's pet friendly which is very important.Good price for this product.

This project kills on contact, which is great! But it doesn’t repel as it says. I’ve left it overnight in the areas on top of the kitchen counter and cupboards where they are located and they were back! It smells nice though. For the price, it’s not worth it. I’ll go back to the cheaper brand that is also pet friendly.

It was very effective. Haven't had it long enough to know if it keeps them out but it does get rid of the bugs. Leaves a sticky residue which is better than a poisonous one. I did like the Orange scent left behind.very easy to use so much so it finished too quickly. I need a couple more.

This stuff works really well to deter ants, although there are some drawbacks. The spray DOES work to deter black ants away from their trails. They disappeared from my infested kitchen after I sprayed their trails. However, this isn't a permanent deterrent. You have to reapply the spray after 2-3 days and continue to keep the infested area pristine to prevent recurrence of ants. The drawbacks are mild: the spray leaves a sticky residue and it has a very loud orange smell. However, the smell is fairly pleasant especially after opening a window for ventilation. It's really just a super strong orange scent. Could definitely be worse, and it fades after 2-3 hours. I have a cat and spray around the cat food area. The spray's scent and sticky residue do not harm my cat, which was very important to me. In sum: although this product has a couple drawbacks, it is an EXCELLENT temporary ant deterrent that has given me peace of mind. I am relieved and grateful that I don't have to break the first precept in order to eliminate the ants from my kitchen. Update April 11, 2023: I haven't seen a single ant since I wrote this review. I've only reapplied the spray twice since I last wrote this review. Seriously, this stuff is fantastic as long as you make the effort to keep the formerly-infested area free of crumbs! Update May 25, 2023: I have not seen a single ant in my kitchen ever since I first wrote this review over a month ago, and I haven't had to reapply the spray since April. This stuff is the real deal and it WORKS. Update July 27, 2023: Still no ants in my kitchen and I haven't reapplied since April. This stuff is amazing!!

I was very satisfied with this product, so I’d like to use it again.
