What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this mosquito control system for its effectiveness in reducing populations within days or weeks, particularly in outdoor living areas. Most report visible declines in mosquito activity, especially during peak seasons, and appreciate how the system prevents larvae from hatching rather than trapping adults. Setup is consistently described as simple and quick, taking just minutes with clear instructions, and monthly refill bands are easy to replace. The starter kit includes two refills, offering good value for seasonal use. A small number report no noticeable change or express concerns about powder handling, but most find it worthwhile for reclaiming outdoor spaces.

High cost. Low benefit.

Would Not Recommend

I don’t see any benefit and the cost is too high. Initial kit only comes with one packet. Should have three for that cost.

Effective Long Term Mosquito Control

Would Recommend

This system is not an immediate knockdown of mosquitoes, but it will reduce their population over time. Best to install multiple stations to increase effectiveness. If you’re the type that doesn’t wish to fog their yard with insecticide, this is the next best control option. Give it several weeks to see results.

Not very effective

Would Not Recommend

I installed the mosquito trap at the end of our deck 10 days ago and I can’t say that any mosquitoes have been caught. Not particularly appealing to the eye either.

Sounds Good in Theory, But Hard to Measure Results

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent for a couple of weeks now, and while I want to believe it’s working, it’s honestly hard to tell how effective it really is. The idea makes sense, but since they don’t drop dead on the spot, there’s no visible proof that anything’s happening. The setup and application were easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mosquito management system works! I have been using this for a little over a month and we can tell a big difference. The assembly of the system takes minutes and the only maintenance is making sure it has water and replacing the band monthly. The only advice I have is to place this away from where you will spend time outdoors.
