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

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!

It's over 100 degrees and when crawlies scale the building to get into my second floor apartment, it's not going to end well. This is a great, natural preventive pest control that keeps them from even coming around. Hot with ant bites is misery. It will kill them on contact but it also keeps them from even coming around. I love nature, but if it attacks, bites, stings, causes injury and a visit to the ER, or death - sorry, your time is up. The orange fragrance is much better than chemical pesticides.

Got this for mostly a stink bugs issue. It does not seem to kill them. But they definitely do NOT like it. I assumed they were coming through one of the windows but couldn't find the one. I ended up spraying the tracks to my big living room window and holy. I saw stink bugs crawling out from under the tracks through the weep holes. I cleaned up probably 15-20 bugs after spraying and stuffed some steel wool into into the holes. Its only been 2 days since doing this but in those 2 days I've seen a total of 3 stink bugs in my house. Before I would see 4-5 a day. Stuff smells like fresh squeeze oranges too

Sometime ago I walked into my upstairs bedroom and encountered 50-60 wasps buzzing across the inside of the sliding door to the balcony. Luckily, only one was zooming around the room. Because I've been using ORANGE GUARD on many varieties of insects for several years now, I grabbed two of the household spray bottles and went to town on the wasps. I was gobsmacked by how quickly the Orange Guard eliminated each and every wasp - including the one that was zooming around the room.🦟 Yes, I've been using it for years, but winning the battle with the wasps was simply miraculous! And you can utilize Orange Guard in the kitchen and around people and pets! Today I eradicated hundreds of ants. Yay!🐜 I LOVE ORANGE GUARD!!!!

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!!

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.

Absolutely fantastic product. I was struggling with stinkbugs popping up in the attic I live in. I live with 4 cats, so finding something that is an effective deterrent/bug killer and non-toxic to them was a headache. This gives me the best of both worlds, and the citrus smell is just heavenly. I haven't seen a single stink bug since Ive been using this regularly. It might seem like a lot, price-wise, for just one spray bottle. But it's super concentrated and worth it. I wish I knew about this sooner! Would have saved me so much trouble and headache!

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!

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