Review: Fast Action & Effective Insect Killer - The Ortho Ant and Insect Killer is a fast-action and efficient solution towards killing insects. I had (past tense now) a massive ant invasion in my basement's boiler and hot water heater room for the past few weeks that grew worse over time. The ants dug up holes and mounds of sand first by the hot water heater, then the boiler. They were having a party convention of sorts! I purchased the Ortho (granular version) last week, and it arrived yesterday. I immediately applied a portion towards the hot water heater first, within a half-hour, a motherload of ants, now including the queen ants with the wings, started coming up from the holes and sand running around berserk! I applied a lot more Orthro to the sand areas. Within one hour, all the ants were dead, except a few stragglers. I understand that this product is intended for outdoors, but you may need to wear a mask when around this product if you have indoor basement insects as I did. The collective smell of this product is not for the human respiratory system. Check out my video for evidence that if you have ant and insect problems, this is the product to get!
Review: Repeat buyer- great stuff! - Best stuff to use in flower beds, gardens, etc. Highly recommend. Great quality

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work on crickets?**
A: Why in the world would you want to kill crickets? Well you have never been invaded by mormon crickets or you would know. This works.

**Q: Does this work on ant mounds?**
A: Ant mounds are exactly why I purchased this product, and it works very well. Sprinkle the product lightly over the mound and surrounding area (no need to over do), and then water very gently with light shower nozzle setting (do not cause runoff). Ant die off is quick and long-lasting. Product is toxic to aquatic life, so do no apply within 100 feet of lakes, lagoons, creeks or waterways.

**Q: Pet friendly**
A: I have been using these granules for many years- on my deck, garden, around my house perimeter... I have two small dogs. The product is pet & people friendly as long as you follow the directions on the Ortho label- "People and pets may re-enter area after product is watered in and allowed to dry"

**Q: Does this kill millipedes?  We figured in we got infested outside after buying garden plants at one of the big box garden stores.**
A: More than likely,centipedes are listed on the bag among what it kills so i would imagine it does.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Repeat buyer- great stuff!
*by P***C on January 2, 2026*

Best stuff to use in flower beds, gardens, etc. Highly recommend. Great quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works
*by G***K on June 21, 2019*

I was a little disappointed in the product because some of the target bugs I was after, did not seem to be affected. However, they weren't listed on bag so I guess I need to have multiple insect killer products. I sprinkled this heavily in 5-gallon planters that became infested with gnats / fruit flies after I transplanted an infected peat pot from walmart, and the gnats are still living life large. I also had hoped / expected this to control snails & grubs that might snack on my flowerbed plants, but no, I still see fresh damage every day. So if you want to control ticks & spiders I guess, this is probably the bomb. I should have paid more attention to the microscopic writing on the label.
