Tools and Hardware Reviews of Orange Guard 103 Water Based Indoor/Outdoor Home Pest Control - 32 oz Spray
Customer Review: It is the best 'green' and safe alternative you can get
Summary: 4 Stars
I live in NYC and I am pretty sure one of my neighbors has roaches, and it only takes one for the whole building to have an issue. I have found one or two 'visiting' my kitchen lately and this product has worked to keep them out. I like the fact that it is safe around kids, that it does not smell like poison and that I can have it in the kitchen and kill any bug. The bugs don't die in an instant, they take a while and the product kills them in a sadistic way... What I do is spray them to slow them and then squash them. As a barrier the product works well, but you have to spray constantly for it to keep working. I think that as prevention and for an occasional bug it works well, however if you have a serious problem with roaches or ants, I don't think this product would actually work for you.Customer Review: Much better than Victor Poison Free spray
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is also food grade and poison free yet it has actually killed the bugs or at least have them woozy enough to be killed once they reach the open. I cleaned my counter with this stuff on the first day and when I turned on the lights there wasn't a single bug in sight. So I do think it is a great repellant and it smells great. However it doesn't last long and you would probably have to keep cleaning with it to keep them away. So I don't see it as a problem solver. It's better to get some ant baits et al (Raid) to get rid of them for good. Then use this product to keep them from coming back.Customer Review: Seems to work on my small ants
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the idea of a non-poisonous pest control spray. I have small ants in my kitchen and outbuilding from time to time, and spraying some of this where they are coming in keeps them at bay. It does have a strong citrus smell, but it's not that bad. For me it kills small ants on contact, but the effect doesn't last but so long.
Customer Review: d-limonene is NOT safe for cats
Summary: 3 Stars
D-limonene is an essential oil from citrus plants (i.e., orange peel, hence the lovely smell). Please note that d-limonene is NOT safe for cats. I published a case in the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association about a rare feline toxicity (with a resultant fatality) from using d-limonene shampoo on a cat (which was advertised as a "natural" flea shampoo). Cats do not tolerate any essential oils (i.e., liquid potpourri, holistic medications, etc.), and should be used with caution. While this may be safe for dogs, it isn't recommended for cats. When in doubt, you can call an animal poison control like Pet Poison Helpline (www.petpoisonhelpline.com) if you're not sure if the product is toxic or poisonous.Customer Review: It Smells Good
Summary: 3 Stars
The product has a very pleasant smell, if not sprayed too heavily (it can be a little strong). As for effectiveness, I really haven't been able to tell. I thought initially that "kills on contact" meant instantly but was advised by manufacturer that it kills later once it makes contact. They said it breaks down the skeletal structure. They said it works best in cracks and crevaces, or on direct contact.
