I am curious about the Ortho Max Spray Barrier Treatment. Do the chemicals
used in this product prevent ants from crossing the barrier or do the ants
die later after having walked across the treatment. I'm assuming that it
also kills on contact? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the active ingredient is Bifenthrin, which will act as
both as you described. It is in a group of insecticides know as a
pyrethroid which do act as a repellant to keep insects away from treated
zones and will kill insects that do get into the barrier, though at the
rate applied it won't be an instant(quick)death unless contact is made
with the insect while the product is still wet.

It is said that the early bird gets the worm,
but it is the second mouse that gets the cheese.
