Sean Swaby, House Ninja, declares a turf war on bugs and wins with Ortho.

I love my kids. I don’t hover over them. I let them roam free. When it comes to trying things out, they can jump in and get muddy. But there is one area where I draw the line: Keeping my family safe.
And this season, I have bugs on my radar.
No, I don’t have a bug-allergy and I’m not generally anti-bug. I just don’t want the creepies crawling all over me or my family. My son jumps ten feet when he sees a spider, it’s the crazy legs and twelve zillion eyes that get to him. My daughter loves animals, but insects that like to bite. Not a fan.
Enter: dad.
My family likes to call me House Ninja, but the bugs know me as the Bug Master. Like any man, I feel like I can take on the world when I have the right tools. A quick trip to the local Home Depot, and I found the product that will help me to protect my family from the insect onslaught: Ortho Home Defense MAX Insect Killer.

Did you know there are 2 million different kinds of bugs on the planet? Some of these creatures are lethal. How many of them look  lethal to me? All of them. When the critters come near my family, I want to reach for my bug kit because a man’s gotta find a way to keep the pests away.
My vigilance is well-earned. I have been bitten by wasps and bees, a spider and even a rather nasty lady bug. I take my job seriously and with the help of Ortho, I can do my job.
Right now, you probably think I’m making a big deal about this. Yeah, I am. Do you like bugs that creep and crawl on you? Nope. Don’t lie, you reach for the shoe. Don’t get me wrong, I love animals and I hug the planet at least once a week. But bugs…keep them away from from my house. Keeping my family safe is easier with Ortho. I use Home Defense like a King uses a moat to protect his castle. Keep the enemy away from the perimeter.
I’m not one of the scorched earth, shoot-then-ask-questions dads that walk the streets. I exercise a lot of grace, but I want the bugs to know who is boss. That’s why I like Ortho because it is just like me: honest and trustworthy.
The product that I love the most is called Home Defense MAX Insect Killer because it helps me defend my home like a fortress. But Ortho’ s other products, like Bug B Gon and Weed B Gon are great too. They do all the work. I get all the credit. As it should be.
My message to the bugs is bug off, because with Ortho:Â I am the Bug Master.
Keep it Real.
