Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Home Defense Max 1.1 Gal RtuCustomer Review: KILLED A BONAFIDE FEMALE BLACK WIDOW SPIDER! Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this spray around my home for a year now. I live in a very wooded, swampy area of SW Florida and we have a bad spider problem. First HUGE Huntsman spiders (the size of the diameter of a coke can). These Huntsman spiders do not make a web. They are EXTREMELY fast crawlers and chase down their prey with amazing speed. It's truly mind-boggling. I have sprayed at least 50 of these spiders in the past year, and it is truly the only way to get them out of your home. They sit very still as long as you don't spook them too much, and I set the spray head to triple stream setting and it shoots about 5-6 feet away. Every time I have had a direct hit with this spray, the spider runs away. You have to track or watch where they go, but they always die within 30 seconds to a minute. The more spray you can get on them, the faster they die. You just can't catch these, so don't bother trying. Also, today, I encountered my very first female Black Widow Spider on my neighbors house while spraying the external base of his house. I have never seen a Black Widow before, and initially, I had no idea what I was spraying. It just looked like a round, black spider. Once I sprayed it, she spun downward on a web and I hit it again with spray, which caused it to spin around revealing the red hourglass on the abdomen. I sprayed it again, this time with VIGOR... and soaked it. Within about 2 minutes it was dead. I was able to carefully collect it and put it in a plastic container using two pieces of large cedar mulch. Closer exam definitely made it the Black Widow and I am glad that Ortho Home Defense Max took this bad Betty out. I also use this for maintenance spray inside and outside the home. I still occasionally see a Huntsman, but it's because they walk so high on their legs that their bellies don't drag through the insecticide residue. My home is free of every other insect in our area, which there are countless numbers of insects. Occasionally, (rarely, I should say) I will find a dead cockroach under an appliance, but they are always dead. This stuff works. PERIOD. And it doesn't stink at all which is a real plus. One large 1.5 gallon jug lasts me about 2-3 months and costs 15-20 dollars at Home Depot. Compared to exterminator service at $20-$30 per month, it is clearly an alternative to hiring a professional. Now that I have bagged a bonafide Black Widow Spider, I HAD to review this product. I am VERY satisfied, and will be watching for Black Widows a lot more. I give this product a whole-hearted five star recommendation. Try it... it will work for you. If it doesn't you're only out $15, but I swear by this stuff.
