- Outdoor Pest Control Spray with Natural Essential Oils - Mosquito, Ant, Insect Repellent, Treatment, Killer - Safe Around Pets Kids 32 oz

I have a dog who spends a lot of time in the yard so I've been looking for a mosquito repellent that is effective while also non-toxic to dogs. I was cautiously optimistic about trying Wondercide as it is DEET-free and "natural", and did not expect it to be super effective. But ever since I started using it two summers ago, I have become a repeat customer. First off, it is very easy to use. Just attach the bottle to a garden hose, turn the knob, and spray. The pressure is strong and even, and it takes 15-20 minutes to cover a typical yard. The treated area is safe to use as soon as it dries, usually within a few hours. Most importantly, it works. No, it's not as effective as DEET-based products, and it will not get rid of all mosquitoes, but it reliably reduces bites by 70-80% in my yard and the effects last a solid 4 weeks. For a DEET-free product, it's genuinely impressive. After two years of use and many repurchases, here are my pro tips to getting the best results: 1) Cut your grass first. 2) When first establishing control, spray twice within 2-4 days to knock out both adult mosquitoes and any larvae that hatch from the remaining eggs. 3) Spray your patio, fence, walking paths, and outdoor furniture. The bottle says it's safe on outdoor fabric, but I recommend patch testing. 4) Avoid applying in the morning and during the heat of the day. Spray in the evening to prevent sunburn on your plants and lawn, and to allow time for the product to dry properly. 5) Since Wondercide is an alternative to longer-lasting pesticides, you will need to reapply more frequently throughout the season and after heavy rain. After the first double-spray, I typically reapply once every 4 weeks to maintain control.

I have used this product around our home in Alaska where the mosquitoes can be quite bad. It effectively keeps bugs away, smells good, and is safe to use around children and pets. Highly recommend.

I am using this product in Florida for Mosquito control. After three weeks of using this product just in my backyard, I have noticed a significant difference. My backyard is almost completely mosquito free. My front yard is untreated (for experimentation purposes of trying this product) and as soon as I cross the border from my back yard to my front yard, I get swarmed with mosquitoes. In the backyard, I don't have to wear a mosquito cover to do yard activities. In the front yard, I do have to wear a mosquito cover. That's how bad it is here. So that's my confirmation that this product is working. Pros: - Seems completely safe for our wildlife and our dogs. - Smells wonderful. - Easy to apply to the yard. - Instantly effective in helping to reduce the mosquito population on our property. - The wasps, bees, and dragonflies fly around and stay in the yard unharmed. Even right after spraying. Cons: - Becomes completely ineffective after a rain. So plan to respray your yard as soon as the weather dries up. - Does not seem to really "kill" the mosquitoes. Instead it seems to be an effective repellent against mosquitoes. After I spray, the mosquitoes visibly hover/swarm over our property just above the tallest point that I sprayed (I spray up into the bushes and trees). They attempt to land, but don't because of the spray. After a while, the mosquitoes just disappear off of our property. - You must use this in conjunction with other mosquito control products. This spray is effective, but if you want an almost mosquito-free yard, you need to include using mosquito traps on the perimeter of your property and mosquito BTI pellets for any fountains and potted plants to kill the larvae. Using all three methods is how we were able to attain an almost mosquito-free backyard. I don't have a problem with either fleas or ticks. So I cannot attest to whether this product works for that or not. I also realized that this product is most effective when you do the following: - Wait until your yard is completely dry from any rain or sprinklers. - Mow the grass and trim bushes first. - Apply the spray and include saturating all of the bushes and trees (our mosquitoes live in the branches of the trees and bushes here as well as in thick grass and mulch. - Refrain from watering your yard for at least 24 hours to let the repellent do it's work - Lightly water your lawn on the following days, but expect to reapply if you tend to saturate your yard when watering. I am removing one star due to the price. Because it is so easily washed off from the yard after a rain or good sprinkler soak, this can get expensive to use regularly during our Mosquito Season. I have a lot of trees and bushes in the backyard, so it takes one container just to cover everything in my backyard alone. I would need a second container to cover the front yard. I live on .3 acres.

Seems to be working pretty well so far. Pretty good coverage for my yard before the chemical ran out. I will review again after some time. Doesn’t really help with flying bugs though. With Gnats it did pretty okay just no other flying insects. I have outside cats and that was my main concern. They are all okay after being in the grass so I’d say that’s awesome!

The nozzle on the bottle did not T worked . No further comments

Great affordable, safe product. The wife and I love using it to keep mosquitoes and other bugs away, while still being safe for the kid to go run around and play right after application.

On my second season of use. Works great on no-see-ums, and pretty decent on gnats. Helps prevents fleas on the dogs. Haven't seen any negative effects on the wild birds. Don't apply if there's rain in the forecast.

Living in Dallas, Texas, we are inundated with Mosquitos. My girls like to be outside in our backyard so I needed something to try other than using a professional service that could cost quite a bit for yearly service. I wanted to like this spray since it was "natural" and safe for kids to be around, even when wet. It has a distinct smell, not unpleasant, and was easy to attach to a hose. The first issue I ran into was the mechanism to start the water to go through the spray. I naturally wanted to turn it forward in order to turn it on, but I think you actually need to turn it backwards, so it seemed counterintuitive. So every time I stopped it and wanted to turn it on again, I found myself turning it the wrong way. Annoying for sure... Otherwise, spraying it on was easy enough, with the directions saying to spread it evenly over the grass and then several feet on the walls of the house. The first time we used it, we noticed immediately the first night that there were no bugs flying around our backyard. None. We were so amazed that we could stand out at night and not have to worry about getting bit. And then it lasted the next day, but after that, the mosquitos returned in full force. I sprayed again within a few days of the first application, as is recommended, using the concentrate which I bought and then mixed in the spray applicator. Ever since that first time using it, it seems to only be effective that day and then the next day the smell is gone and the bugs have returned. So it seems like a lot of effort to spray the property just for it to last about a day and then have to reapply it again. At this rate, you're better off using a professional service since you'll probably spend just as much on the concentrate, if not more.
