[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the OFF! Backyard Retreat Outdoor Mosquito Repellent for a few weeks now, and it’s made a noticeable difference. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering, and it really does help keep mosquitoes away during evening hangouts. We’ve enjoyed more time outside without constantly swatting bugs. I took off one star because the coverage area is a bit smaller than expected, so we had to use more than one for larger gatherings. Still, it’s a solid choice for smaller patios or decks. Would definitely buy again! too!
Easy and convenient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item was easy to find on the shelf, the scent isn't too strong like other chemical sprays. I still need to get a hose to go with it, but i have used it around my house and around my camper. There have been little to no bugs! I love how i only need to use a small amount for the product to work well. I got a good size bottle for the price. It seems to be eco-friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Off! Backyard Bug Control free from Influenster for my honest review. I live in Florida and the mosquitoes are so bad so I was really excited to try this product. The scent of the product was not overwhelming, which was a plus. An added bonus is it’s really easy to use, just attach it to your water hose and spray. I was able to do my back yard within minutes. I did keep all my dogs in for a while to make sure everything was dry, just to be safe. I have noticed the decrease in the mosquito population lol. Makes hanging out in the pool more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this product!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this spray during a warm evening barbecue, and it made a noticeable difference! Within minutes, the mosquitoes backed off, and we were able to enjoy the yard without constant swatting. The scent was mild and not overpowering, which I appreciated. It dried quickly and didn’t leave a sticky residue.
Easy to use! So far works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff works! Super easy to use—just hook it up to the hose and spray. I noticed way fewer mosquitoes the same day. It lasts a while too, so you’re not constantly reapplying. Great for chill evenings outside without all the bug bites. Just make sure it dries before kids or pets go out.
Minus one star for full effectiveness but it does

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff lasts for your full yard plus some. We have a normal sized quarter acre yard and we still have some left after doing a heavy application. Smell when spraying it wasn’t bad. The effectiveness is what causes it to drop a star because we still have to use a citronella candle outside as we speak. It does seem like it has reduced the normal mosquito volume but hasn’t eliminated it entirely.
This gave us our backyard back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a difference this makes! We have issues with mosquitos and pesky gnats all over the yard (front and back). This backyard bug control pretreat by OFF! has given us a new life outside. Process was very simple as hooking to a hose and spraying the yard and trees. The spray nozzle has two sprays (stream and fan) depending on the hight of what you are trying to treat. One bottle treats 16,000 square feet. One treatment is supposed to last 8 weeks, so we will be testing again once we see pests again. The spray does have a very strong chemical scent but fades after a few hours. I did keep my pets inside for 8 hours after treatment, although there were no recommendations for the timeframe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t usually use a lot of chemicals in my yard. I figured a friend might like to use it in theirs. We did test it and it seems to work fairly well. It would be fantastic if off came up with a safe more natural alternative using essential oils and more environmentally safe ingredients that generally repel pests! I will say the packaging was really easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This spray has completely transformed how we use our outdoor space. We used to dread grilling or relaxing by the pool because the mosquitoes were relentless. It’s summer in Florida and the bugs are out BIGTIME! After treating the patio, pool deck, and around the grill area, we noticed a huge difference almost right away. We were able to cook out and lounge by the water without constantly swatting bugs or cutting the evening short. It was easy to apply, didn’t leave a strong smell, and covered a surprisingly large area. For once, we actually got to enjoy our yard the way it’s meant to be used. It’s not super expensive and will definitely a staple in our summer routine now.
Now I can enjoy Summers outdoor!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spring and Summer is my favorite time of the year. I like enjoying sitting in my backyard. My yard is very green but with that also comes the pests and the mosquitoes. This product helped me to get rid of the mosquitoes and other pests. The product is very easy to use. Just connect it to the garden hose and spray. It kept the mosquitoes away for good 6 weeks. I made sure to use the correct amount and spray at all places. After that I just do maintenance spray. It has not been harmful to my plants and trees. Now me and my kids are enjoying the summer fully!

We have woods bordering the backyard so this spray helps keep the bugs at bay when we are enjoying the yard or using our pool. It is easy to apply and has a pleasant smell. Would recommend.
