Yes… We really are this cool:
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered for use around food, humans, and pets
• All ingredients are on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) list, this is the list allowed in food
• Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listed for use in organic production
Important: Label says to use a 6 to 1 dilution but for hydro using 8 to 1 is recommended because of it’s toxicity which means at stronger rates it can damage the plants. As far as cleaning rooms that might be infested in something like home pest control use the full strength of the the bottle. Not only will clean but totally desolve criters you can’t see.
You can order Orange Guard through these distributors:
American Agriculture (Rosecity Wholesale)

Orange Guard has been my staple indoor pesticide for at least six years. I've tried other "natural" orange pesticides, notably one by Ortho available in stores like Lowes. Instant headache. My sinuses picked up the trace of petroliate so minor it's not even listed. (I inquired -- the nose knew.)
Orange Guard has nothing but orange. My cats can blithely walk through the spray and while felines aren't citrus fans, they can proceed to lick themselves silly and nothing bad is going to happen.
Natural products do not have the staying power of serious chemical pesticides and you can't expect them to. During the current heatwave, a morning invasion of ants through kitchen plumbing crevices is normal. I've been comparing Orange Guard with another natural insecticide (pyrethrins) via Safer Tomato & Vegetable pesticide. Pyrethrins is also considered safe for use around food and animals. The odor is minor, inoffensive, and causes no twitching of the sinuses. However, the spray will keep ants out only an hour or two when their invasion is of Normandy-proportions. Orange Guard holds up 6-12 hours. In normal usage -- when ants aren't as desperate -- it lasts several days and that's usually long enough for them to look for more friendly places to live.
If you like citrus, the fragrance is wonderful, pure and fresh. Leftovers (year-old Orange Guard) should be used outdoors because the smell strengthens and becomes somewhat obnoxious -- just like aging oranges. But you can avoid that by using it as an air freshner or wiping your wood furniture with it. The slight amount of orange oil will make your wood happy.
12/7/08 -- While Orange Guard is unavailable on Amazon right now, it's easy to find. A number of hardware store chains carry it. Google will help.
8/2009: [...] is listing many outlets now. Ace Hardware and OSH and Whole Foods are among them.
Also, someone asked about cockroaches. I don't know about Orange Guard, but a safe and excellent little known remedy is "roach chalk." I think -- not positive -- it's made of boric acid. You simply draw lines around areas to protect. It's available in Chinese markets. Hmmm. I wonder if Amazon has it. . .
Aug 2009: Update on Chinese roach chalk - it's illegal due to impurities in the imported variety. You know, like lead. But you can find safe brands on line and in larger home stores.

The reason I love this so much is that I don’t have to worry about spraying it around the house since it’s chemical-free. Smells great! Spray it on those pesky critters and they die, leaving behind a residue that also kills them. Great for spraying your plants, every once in awhile I’ll get an ant march trying to set up shop on my leaves like a vietnamese kid at a flea market. Orange Guard send em packin!
