I live in central Florida I think our state bird is a mosquito. Has anyone from Florida tried this product? I would greatly appreciate your opinion.

I used it last summer (Tampa Bay area) and had good results. I put it in a pump sprayer and sprayed all around the doors, base of the house, on the walls, and deck. Not as many got in the house since they weren't hanging around the doors. With all our rains, I had to re spray every couple of days though. It seems to repel them for awhile. I didn't have as many getting in the house last season. If it looked like there was going to be a few days of no rain, I would spray the shrubbery too. You definitely need to strain the juice with some cheese cloth as you put it in the sprayer. It's garlic particles will clog the sprayer wand. I wore disposable gloves when handling the cheese cloth. That STRONG garlic smell will stick with you if you get it on you. It didn't get rid of them all, but it did help, and it's not toxic. Reapply as often as you like. Just don't spray the bees and butterflies directly.

Not sure; Tucson doesn't get many mosquitos. I haven't seen any; perhaps it is working:) This product is truly amazing and inexpensive; it is definitely worth a try:)

I have patted it on my face (not a lot) with no skin problems at all. Stay away from your eyes and lips (just makes your lips feel funny if you get some on them). I am in Alaska now and have had no mosquito problems, even with them buzzing around all over the place. (And, generally, I am a mosquito magnet.)

I'm unsure. We were camping at a state park in Ohio over Labor Day. I have never seen so many mosquitos. I didn't have any bites. You can smell the lemongrass which supposed to repel no-see-ums. I would give it a try. Low investment.

We live on the Gulf Coast and used this product in an attempt to control yellow flies without success. We coated blue and black objects on "expert" advice but no luck. If you can find a color the insects will go to, I am sure this product will work. It is sticky and stays sticky for months.

We tend to have a mosquito problem. We do treat our water barrels for mosquitos. It does seem to help. Maybe just a precaution.

As bad as it worked for birds, I can't imagine it working for bats. But why would you want to kill bats. We use to have them at our place in Florida, but now that they're gone, we have nothing but mosquitos.

I ordered 1500 live ladybugs to be delivered to Florida and the delivery was timely and without any problems. I would be concerned to release the bugs in Minnesota in Winter time, since it is very cold there, I guess. I hope it helps to answer your question. Ben

I live in Florida, also. It does not harm anything I have in my yard. It will keep pests away for a long period of time, especially if applied before rain. I have used it for four years now and it keeps my yard pest-free for the entire year. Soak it liberally. Hope this helps.

I am in Oklahoma and got some for my garden in June. They disappeared pretty quickly and I have seen none recently. I think maybe the birds eat them . . . I still have aphids and no lady bugs.

Yes, it is intended for southern or coastal areas. These mosquito's are are black with white stripes. The Octenol is used up north.

Yes. Very well! I am in Illinois and we had last year and now again this a bug referred to as a buffalo gnat that are extremely resistant to most other bug sprays. This even keeps them away. Pleasant smell an non-sticky feeling.

This is designed yo attract mosquito's outdoors. Refer to the placement mguide included with it, you should place in a shaded area close to where they breed and between breeding and human activity.If you have mosquito's in your house I would contact a pest control company

I had to hang the lurex to my dynatrap by wire. either way, I did not attract the mosquitos that were biting me with the different attractant. I am in southern cal so not sure if it attracts the mosquitos here. I did use aveeno skin lotion and it seemed to work! I can sit outside at nite without the mosquitos biting my head, arms or legs. go figure. will have to test aveeno in a more mosquito rich environment.

Yes! That is the kind of wasps I was seeing in central Florida. Could not sit on patio till I got this product. We had a small bee population too and this kept them away too. It took a few days till the word got out in the flying bug groups but now if we see one it does not hang around long. What they see is not their nest so they take off quick. I highly recommend these things. Many of my neighbors bought them too.

It will, but remember this attracts mainly, bringing what you don't want, to feed on you first, then be lead to the kill. I was frustrated until I got mosquito nix, a fine mist emitted all around your patio, fence, eves and plant life, throughout your property. Killing all "Bad Bugs" but not harmful to pets or humans. It's a flower pollen, some people may be allergic to it, so just go inside when it emits, then go back out. Works great for the Texas size Mosquitos we have in Plano!

I couldn't tell you the answer to that, but I can say that this was exactly my experience last summer. I tried everything I could think of, and nothing worked. This year we went with a mosquito spraying service instead; I wish I had just done that last year.
