The chemical works great at keeping bugs at bay. The included spray wand will sometimes just not work correctly. I've bought several of these and sometimes the wand is fine for the whole bottle, sometimes it is not.

I am so impressed! It really works ! We had so many mosquitos and flies around my house . Specially because there is a small lake in the back with so many trees and moisture levels are high. It’s been a week and the mosquito are gone . Hopefully they don’t come back anytime soon. But it is worth the money. I will buy it every month from now on to make sure mosquito don’t come back.It works %100

We enjoy a summer rental and ants seem to be a reoccurring problem each year but after two treatments, I haven’t seen a living ant in two weeks. The lesson is, continue to treat every week for two weeks then monthly and your problems are solved. Battery operated sprayer is a real plus with a directional nozzle. Highly recommendedUpdate 7/20As I was preparing for this week’s treatment, the sprayer stopped working and after some troubleshooting there was still no suction with plenty of battery power.I write to ortho and here’s their response;Be sure that the end of the hose is firmly attached to the cap. Push on it until a distinct “click” is heard. The “click” indicates that the hose is attached correctly.* If have a spout on the container cap that flips up, make sure it is fully flipped up so it is straight up and down and not at an angle.* If have a knob on the cap, make sure it is turned to the "ON" position. When fully in the "ON" position, you should feel the knob click into place and the arrow on the knob will point to the middle of "ON".* Make sure that the wand is open and locked into position.* Check that the nozzle at the end of the wand is turned to an open position. There are either 2 or 3 open positions and 1 or 2 off positions (depending on wand version).* There is a lock on the trigger. Make sure that the trigger lock is not in the locked position.* Occasionally, some crystallization can clog the sprayer. After disconnecting the red plug from the cap soak the spray tip/nozzle in warm soapy water. This may dislodge any crystallized matter. The sprayer tip can be readily pulled off and snapped back on after cleaning* If this is the first time you have used the wand, be sure that the plastic protection strip has been removed from the battery compartment. The batteries will not engage until the plastic strip has been removed.* Batteries have a shelf life that will last through approximately two 1.33 bottles. It is possible that the batteries need to be replaced. The unit holds either 3 or 4 Double-A (AA) batteries (depends on the wand version). Replace the old batteries with fresh ones to see if that fixes the spraying issue.* If the sprayer motor is running and all of the above troubleshooting has been completed, the sprayer may need to be re-primed. To re-prime, place the container above the wand (either holding it above or setting it on something) and spray for 30 seconds in an area where the product can safely be dispensed.All Good advice but none of that helped with my issue.I write to Amazon and they immediately offer a no fuss replacement. This is why I love Amazon- Excellent customer service and they will continue to have my business.
