[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s difficult to assess the effectiveness of this product, because the product wouldn’t come out when sprayed despite following directions! Perhaps we got a defective container, but I am not likely to buy this in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was perfect for spending a few minutes outside for the 4th of July. I get eaten alive by mosquitoes so to be able to pre-treat the area and keep many of the mosquitoes away was nice. Packaging is simple and the product is very easy to use.
Great product definitely a must have in the summer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this before going outside with the kiddos to play and the mosquitoes and other various buggos vanish within minutes! Smells fine-not super overwhelming, super easy to use, and keeps my yard bite-free for hours of playtime or even cooking!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the summer I get a bunch of bugs near my house, especially my garden. In just one day I was able to see the huge difference because there weren’t as many bugs around. There’s no weird scent which is a huge plus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sprayed around the complete exterior of our house and yard. The bottle was easy to hook up to hose and operate. No noticeable scent or toxic residue was noticed which was also appreciated on the eco front. Overall, the bottle is a good value for the cost but we did not notice any reduction in the overall bugs and mosquitoes around our yard and house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how easy this product is to use and set up. It’s simple as 123. You do require a hose to be able to spray across your lawn. I have seen a decreased in bugs which is always a plus during the hot summer months.
Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this before setting up the yard for summer, and it seemed to make a noticeable difference. The hose connection was easy to use, and I liked the two spray options. I can’t say it kept everything away, but it definitely helped reduce mosquito activity, especially in the first few weeks. I’d use it again as a seasonal prep step.
Great for Quick, Effective Mosquito Control!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the OFF! Backyard Pretreat Outdoor Mosquito Repellent for a few weeks now, and it’s been a game changer for evenings in the yard. It’s super easy to apply—just attach it to the hose and spray around the lawn, shrubs, and patio areas. Within minutes, the mosquito activity noticeably drops. What I really like is that it doesn’t have a strong chemical smell, and it dries pretty quickly, so we can head back outside soon after spraying. It gives us peace of mind when the kids are playing or we’re grilling in the evening. One treatment lasts for several days, especially if it doesn’t rain right away. Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it’s not a total miracle—some bugs still sneak through, especially near standing water—but for the price and convenience, it really does a solid job. Highly recommend for anyone who wants fast and easy mosquito control without dealing with citronella candles or constant reapplying of bug spray.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honeslty this works really well once you get past the chemical smells. There’s a lot of product in here and could probably last me about 2 summers. Easy to use but still safe for being around children.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary from Influenster for my honest review. I didn’t know if I would be able to review this due to all the rain. I was like welp if I do spray it’s going to get washed away within a few minutes to hours. To use you must attach it to your hoes and it didn’t turn my grass. I didn’t get any weird smell in my yard which was awesome. Lots of mosquitoes and gnats and the next day before it rained again, saw nothing. No annoying bug bothering me while outside for a bit, it was nice. Awaiting to use it again after the rainy days before fall comes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free for my honest review. I went to try out this Off Backyard bug control and I was a little disappointed. It hooks up to the hose but for some reason nothing was coming out of the bottle. The bottle is still full!!!! I’m thinking I might have gotten a faulty bottle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know if it's the constant rain but I didn't see much improvement to be frank on the mosquits. On the other hand the utilitarian packaging is practical & Eco friendly. So easy to install I can even do it with one hand & the scent isn't as atrocious as I expected it to be with these products. **Thankfully it's decently priced so I'll be able to try again, once the rainy season is coming to a close.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where i live every summer we need a bug solution. Mostly for flies but once the sun fades the mosquitos come to play. This has been a godsend so far. When we know that we plan on hanging out in the back yard we spray early in the morning. You get a few applications per bottle, but it will depend on the size of your yard. Its super easy to use and store when done using. The packaging is good and makes using this easy. Would highly recommend if you get bit like crazy like I do.
Decent but not the best product on the market.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works decently well just doesn’t last long enough maybe a week at most. Very easy to use though and doesn’t leave a harsh smell. Now it does get messy so I’d use some caution when adjusting the spray modes. Other than that it is a decent product.
