[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bug and mosquito pretreat spray was super easy to use! While it initially leaked at an unexpected spot on the bottle, near where it attached to the hose, it ended up working great in the fan setting to cover my plants and mulch. The scent wasn’t as strong as the traditional body bug sprays, it does have a slight chemical smell. For those who have a big mosquito problem, this could be a cheaper and easier diy solution instead of hiring a company. It says it also helps with other bugs including fleas and ticks which would be great for those that have pets. Can’t wait to see how well it works as the summer progresses and the bug population in the area increases!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on my backyard porch and found it to be excellent. However, the effect didn’t last long due to heavy rain. While we were applying it, though, it effectively kept mosquitoes and bugs away. One of the best features is the house connection, which allows for easy spraying throughout the entire area. Additionally, it doesn’t have a strong smell, unlike other products I have tried.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This off backyard bug spray works fantastic! Easy to use spray nozzle allows you to evenly apply the bug repellent around your yard. I noticed a huge difference in the amount of mosquitoes and other bugs I was seeing in my yard. It’s enough to cover a pretty good size yard too.
Good for temporary relief.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hopeful about the OFF Backyard Pretreat Mosquito Spray as it is rainy season and you know what that brings.. mosquitos. It did seem to work for the first 1–2 days. Unfortunately, the mosquito problem came back even worse after that, much earlier than the promised 8-week protection. Disappointed with the short-lived results and wouldn't rely on it for long-term relief. Easy-to-use packaging
Does great job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Backyard Pretreat Outdoor Mosquito Repellent Bug Spray worked like a charm! I have a big backyard that attracts lots of mosquitos in the summer. I saw less mosquitos after using this product only one time. This works way better than other repellents I’ve tried before. I will definitely be using this one even summer from now on.
Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product in the past and had great results from it. Not a real strong smell but very effective when it come to keeping bugs away. Had to wait for the rain the stop for a few days so the solution didn't get washed away. I still have enough for probably two more treatments. I sprayed under my deck too.
Excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for when you always have people over outside during the summer. Kids love to play outside but no one loves being bitten by mosquitoes. This hooked up to the garden hose easily and sprayed out nicely. You have the option to use the fan spray or stream. Personally I prefer the fan just because it covers a wider area. The price is not bad to purchase this. So far it has done its job at keeping the mosquitoes away. The only thing I wish is that it was more pet friendly as we have quite a few animals that also roam the yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very skeptical about trying this product at first due to have tried so many different outdoor pretreatment for my yard and all failed to do what they said they would do. My backyard always has standing water after it rains. We all know that brings even more mosquitoes around. Finally decided to give this one a try. I chose it because of the hose attachment making it more convenient to use. Surprisingly it did not have any strong odors and so far its been very effective. It's suppose to last up to 8 weeks. I hope it does because after 3 weeks it's helped tremendously.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the OFF! Pretreat Outdoor Mosquito Repellent Spray (32 oz), and I’m honestly impressed. The bottle has a really interesting design — you just connect it to your garden hose, turn the dial, and start spraying. It has two settings: fan and stream. The fan worked great for covering large open areas, and I used the stream mode to get into tighter spots like around bushes and trees. We live on a piece of land with all kinds of bugs — not just mosquitoes — and I liked that this repellent is supposed to protect from a wide variety of insects (I read it works on over 100 types, including gnats, ticks, flies, ants, and more). That’s exactly what we needed. It was super easy to use. This year we’ve had a lot of rain, so it took a bit to find the right day to actually apply it, but once I did, it sprayed evenly and covered a lot of ground. I noticed a big difference — there were barely any bugs in the treated area for quite a while after spraying. I really hope it keeps protecting the backyard for the full 8 weeks like it says. The bottle is large, and for the price, I think it’s a really good deal. Overall, I’m happy with it and will probably keep using it throughout the summer.
