Q: There's a section in the instructions that says "Do not apply directly to impervious horizontal surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways, and patios except as a spot treatment." Please clarify? Is it because it stains, or is it a hazard, or something else?

    Works well for small outdoor spaces

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has worked great for my backyard get togethers. One the sun strata to go down the mosquitoes always come Out in droves. I spray some of this every hour and we experience a lot less insect bites.

    Limited use according to instructions

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a weird review for me to write. I was excited about being bug free in my backyard but upon receiving this item, I read the extensive and very litigious feeling instructions. They are super limiting and include so many caveats about not spraying near waterways, in places when it might rain in 24 hours, away from pets and kids until it’s fully dry, cant spot treat areas over a two foot area, etc etc. I live in a place where I’m growing herbs and foods to eat, have kids, it rains so unpredictably, and I have a creek running through my backyard. In the end, I ended up spraying it in a small area near our patio, but then felt very uncomfortable, spraying it and stopped. I do think it kept the mosquitoes and insects away, but with the instructions treating this like some truly toxic substance, I ultimately did not feel comfortable continuing to use it. For all of the rules and regulations it failed to mention anything about food you might eat, but it did mention things about not spraying if the wind is over 15 mph or if the wind may throw in on a place where you don’t mean it to go, so ultimately it didn’t feel like something that is good for easy backyard use in a home with children where you have unpredictable weather. At that point, I would just rather wear bug spray or use citronella candles. Ultimately, this was a no go for me.

    Works well

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and works! I was having a problem with beetles and wasps flying around my pool. Once I used this I did notice less insects in general. It was nice being able to sit by my pool without insects all around

    Off! Area Repellent works good for outdoor events.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Off ! Area Repellent works good . I used it on the weed area of my flower garden . Sprayed around the area then did my weeding . I didn’t have any trouble with pesky bugs . I like to also spray it around the perimeter of our back yard before we sit outside for a bonfire.

    The trigger activated a massive spray so control it

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just for perspective and understanding, this product is basically a "bug bomb" and not for individual use on the body. I'm not mad at this but I do feel like it could have been better performance wise. So I live in Indiana and was recently effect by that derecho/tornado . My house and yard took damage. One thing that has been a pain has been the increase in mosquitoes due to the conditions. So I will say this product review came in clutch because I unloaded the entire can in the work area shown so I could cut down and tear up the trees that were there. I don't like the fact that this area repellant sprays out super aggressively so if you don't have control then you will waste the entire can and get no coverage. However, if you can be steady then you will be okay. Performance wise, I was able to work for about 3-4ish hours cutting, moving, sweating without the hassle of constant bugs and mosquitoes bothering me so not bad at all. I would have definitely liked more coverage and a longer lasting product but overall I cannot complain. 4/5 stars. I will purchase more of this product now that I have used it and understand to control my coverage sprays.

    Does the intended job incredibly well

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has done a great job at keeping mosquitoes and other pesky bugs away as we sit by the fire pit. The spray disperse evenly and a little goes a long way. I make sure I spray it away from my body a bit instead of directly on my skin. I have sensitive skin and have not experienced any sensitivity to it.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works for areas like the garage great coverage. Overwhelming smell but thats how you get the bugs. Much easier than spraying that nasty spray on your skin and it always getting in your mouth

    Works well

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great to use when you want to sit outside and not get bothered by all the bugs! Has a decent smell to it and works well. Spray around the area you want to be in and enjoy your time outside! The OFF has a really good spray range to keep it pretty easy to use.

    Product works…but at what cost?

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes, the product does work but I really try to limit using this type of product because it is not good for the environment and I also have a young child so I prefer to use more natural products. I am not sure why such a dangerous product isn’t in a childproof bottle- I really would not purchase again because of this alone.

    Great Product to Chase Away Mosquitos

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the heat of summer is making a comeback next week, tonight is all about enjoying the outdoors without the mosquitoes. We have a beautiful deck in our backyard, a huge lawn and lots of trees. My dog and I like to play catch with the ball on the grass. That also means the potential to be eaten alive by annoying insects, especially mosquitoes. I used the off outdoor fogger this evening around the perimeter of my deck and in a general perimeter area in the yard. Gave it a little time, then played with the dog, and now relaxing on the deck. Not a mosquito in sight thus far. Very happy about that and hope it continues. Love that I didn’t apply it to my skin or clothing. Easy to shake, point, and spray to use. Highly recommend. For others that like to enjoy the outdoors.

    Works Great! STRONG smell

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised by how effective OFF! Area Repellent was at keeping pests away outside! Comes in a nice sized can, was able to treat the entire yard for the 4th of July BBQ. There was a STRONG smell, but it eased off after about 10 minutes. Overall, great tool for having relatively bug-free outdoor events!

    Keeps bugs and mosquitoes away!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this when I’m outside and it’s been working pretty well. It’s easy to spray on and doesn’t feel like a hassle to use.
