Ortho BugClear Lawn Insect Killer1 - Lawn Bug Killer Granules, Kills Ants, Spiders, Ticks, Fleas, & Grubs, Treats up to 16,500 sq. ft., 10 lb.

This stuff works! I have been using it for a year now, applying about every 4 months. I noticed that there are rarely bugs of any kind crawling around my yard, or garden. It also kills grubs, so moles have nothing to eat, and moved away. Application requires a hand spreader, or broadcaster of some type. I use a grass seed hand spreader and that works perfectly. After applying the granular material, you need to heavily water it in, so it gets down into the soil. That kills off all kinds of creepy crawlies that dwell in your soil, lying in wait to wreak havoc. It has no noticeable smell. I’d say that it’s easy to use, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. It’s a good size bag, and covers a lot of area. Ortho seems to be a pretty reliable brand of pest control, so it’s a quality product in my opinion. I’ve used other pest control products, and they didn’t seem to work. This stuff does, and it lasts for months! I’ve even note that there are less mosquitoes, and flying bugs. But the bees still come around, and that’s important to me. Bees are a crucial part of our ecosystem, and I don’t want to effect them in any way. I think I’ve covered all the bases. I hope my review helped you 😊

This works really well. I live in Texas and I always have these large ant piles during the summer and no matter what I sprayed on them, they always would reappear the very next week. The bag is easy to open and there is no strong smell coming from it at all. My poodles have gone outside to use the lawn the very next day and there was no issue, it is very pet safe.

These work good, but not perfect. They are great for all bugs listed except for grubs. They do an OK job, but there are other products out there for that. The main thing for these are the ticks, which it works great for. Recommend if you are dealing with bug issues other than grubs

The next day after putting this down, we had hundreds of grubs gasping for life on the lawn. This stuff works great !!!

Works great. My go to every year when I’m prepping my yard for spring.

CANT SAY IT KILLS THE GRUBS..STILL HAVE MOLE PROBLEMS.. GET RID OF THE GRUBS--NO MOLES IM GOING BACK TO MY OTHER PRODUCT.. KEPT OUT GRUBS FOR 20-YEARS, UNTIL I TRIED THIS PRODUCT..

Good quality product. I use it as a deterrent for my previous grub problem, on my lawn.

As a former Pest Control Professional, Bifenthrin (the active ingredient in this product) is a long established and highly effective insecticide. You won't find a pest control company that doesn't use Bifenthrin as part of their PC program. It is used indoors (as a liquid spray), outdoors as "border control", and in turf grass (granular or liquid) to control dozens of insects. In the south, Chinch Bugs are perhaps our biggest turf grass enemy- particularly in St Augustine grass, and Bifenthrin is highly effective (especially as part of a 1-2 punch described in more detail below) Ortho BugClear is one of the best values for Bifen (for short) even compared to their own competing product "Lawn Insect Killer". BugClear has nearly DOUBLE the Bifen, and is labeled to cover 1.5"+ times the square feet of turf, yet is priced comparably. In other words, if you choose the "Lawn Insect Killer" from Ortho, you are spending nearly twice as much! Now, the 1-2 punch for Chinch bugs. Cyhalothrin in combination with Bifen. Cyhalothrin comes in various formulations (Gamma, Lambda), but I am too far removed from my PC days to even know the differences, but don't get hung up on that. It is classified as a micro-encapsulated insecticide and is also very effective indoors and out for control of a multitude of insects. It is available in many OTC products including Spectracide Triazicide (the best value I have found OTC) in both liquid and granular. For Chinch bugs, I alternate between the granular and liquid versions of Cyhalothrin and Bifen four times a year. Chinch bugs are a summer problem, but this punch is highly effective against fire ants, Mole Crickets, somewhat for grubs, and other fall/winter pests. (white grubs are a whole other issue and you want a product with an active ingredient like Imidacloprid (a synthesized nicotine product) to catch them in the spring while the June Beetles are laying their eggs in your yard). Alternate the 1-2 granular/liquid approach 3-4 times a year in your lawn, and 90% or more of the pests you fight won't have a chance, and you can control them with these OTC products for an entire year for less than a month or two of a lawn professional (who will likely be using the same active ingredient products). If you have a large yard, explore some of the retailers that offer "pro grade" products with the same active insecticides for bulk sale to anyone in most states. But for most, this insect control program will do the job for a relatively low cost with products available on Amazon, or your local home improvement store.
