A Game-Changer for Outdoor Fun!
5 out of 5 stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who loves spending time outdoors, especially during the warmer months, I’ve always been on the lookout for a good bug repellent that actually works. I finally came across Off! Backyard Bug Control, and I have to say, it’s been a game-changer! First of all, it is ease of use. The spray is super easy to apply. I love that it comes with a hose-end attachment, making it quick to cover my entire backyard. No need for a complicated setup or constant reapplication like other products I’ve tried. I just hook it up to the hose, spray, and I’m done. It’s honestly the easiest way to get rid of bugs in my yard. I’ve noticed a huge reduction in mosquitoes, flies, and other pests since using this product. It works almost immediately, and the protection lasts for several weeks, even after rain! It really helps me enjoy my backyard without constantly swatting at bugs or retreating inside. My kids and pets are also able to play freely without worrying about bites. I was a bit nervous about the scent since some bug sprays can be overpowering, but this one isn’t bad at all. It has a mild, fresh scent that fades quickly and doesn’t linger too long. It's not obnoxious or chemically. Price is affordable as well. For 1 spray and it’s last up to 8 weeks. It’s worth for a whole summer outdoor activities with your family. If you're someone who loves being outside but hates dealing with bugs, I highly recommend Off! Backyard Bug Control. It’s effective, easy to use, and really makes outdoor activities a lot more enjoyable. Whether it’s for a BBQ, family gathering, or just a relaxing evening on the patio, this product ensures that pests won’t ruin the fun.
Definitely worth it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Backyard Pretreat works fast and lasts for weeks, making it a great pick for keeping mosquitoes away. Easy to use and lightly scented, it’s ideal for outdoor spaces— however I wish it was bigger for bigger yards.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was so easy to use. My husband attached it to the hose nozzle and let it work its magic! It really works! We have enjoyed more time in our backyard because we don’t have to worry about those pesky mosquitos! Highly recommended! Redeeming the gift card was very simple through the Target app.

[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 really works! I think if you use this consistently in mosquito season, it can be really effective as a deterrent for mosquitoes. It has a strong scent so I caution using it around pets and people. The nozzle is easy to use and you can cover a lot of area with the way it is structured. Definitely worth the price.
Game changer

[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.] Off Backyard Bug Control 🐛🦟 I received this product from @influenster in exchange for my honest review. With summer in full swing, this product offers and easy-to-use option if you need to pretreat your yard for pesky insects, such as mosquitos. 🦟 You simply have to attach it to a hose and spray away! Value wise, this is much more cost effective than purchasing other products. Although it is convenient, I would be weary of using it around gardens or produce as it may accidentally kill off beneficial insects as well.
Great for the summer

[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 stays on my list now

[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 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.] 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.
