How often do you need to use this on your lawn to repel mosquitos?

During rainy season I use it about twice per week, normally about once per week.

According to other customers who have used the product, it needs to be applied once or twice a week depending on the season and how heavy the mosquito population is.

This product will kill, deter and repel flying insects, including mosquitoes, and various types of flies; however, its effects are temporary in most cases. Overall, I have had excellent results with the unit and the insecticide. Typically, I apply the fogging insecticide about 20 to 30 minutes before an outdoor gathering; and, mosquitoes are far reduced for several hours. I've also managed to virtually eliminate a colony of white flies that were destroying some holly bushes in my back yard. The key thing to remember is that this is intended as a temporary deterrent; not a method of permanent eradication of all insects.

About every 30 days but sometimes I let it go longer. Depends on it I am getting a good amount of insects.

I guess if you like mosquitos, don't get one. It works well enough that it makes all the difference in comfort on our deck in the summer. But you will need it to be closer than 30-40 feet, to draw them away from where you are. Follow the instructions and you'll be satisfied.

If used once a day on exposed areas of legs, arms and neck of one person, the amount of repellent should last a person 2 weeks. It's spreads like lotion so you don't have to apply that much to cover areas.

From what I read on the manufacturer's site when I first purchased this is that it may harm them only if it is DIRECTLY sprayed on them. This is also why the recommend spraying early in the morning or late in the evening. When I spray, I actually walk backwards in hopes of disturbing anything in my path. I also use the end of the sprayer and shake it in bushes and plants to scare anything out, so as not to spray them directly. I use this about every two weeks on the perimeter of my yard and I honestly have fewer mosquito's and just as many bees and butterflies in my gardens/yard. I use specific plants to attract them as well. Hope this helps.

I also have a lot of plants but I just spray around them. If you want it to control mosquitoes than you will want to spray as high as you can without getting the Talstar in your eyes of course. FYI read the directions really good before using. Last, this is going on my second year and I tell everyone about this great product. It truly makes a difference.

I used it two different ways.. I used almond oil to dilute it in a small spray bottle and i have also used it full strength placing a dab on wrists, elbows, neck, chest , ankles etc.. it works well for me in the summer repelling mosquitos.. i get eaten up by them if i don't use it!! You can mist your clothing.. careful cause it is an oil.. and also the area your sleeping in.. smells ok too.. kinda earthy.. have fun on your trip!!

It will not kill the actual mosquito. I will kill it's eggs/lavae in the water. Use it in any standing water outside (buckets, rain collection barrel, etc) . This kills the eggs immediately (a day or two), then use "Mosquito dunks" for water that will be staying in those buckets/dishes/barrels outside. It will last for 30 days..killing eggs.

I haven't purposely sprayed flowers with this, but I have over years accidentally sprayed them without any noticeable effect. This is the best mosquito and "no see um" repellent I've ever used. Unless there is an exceptional amount of rain, it lasts 3 months.

The only thing you need to do is put a few drops of vegetable oil in the reservoir early in the season to keep mosquitos away. Otherwise, it's better than planting in the ground because nothing can crawl up it. However, it does not keep FLYING insects, birds or squirrels away and if your area has a lot of spiders, they will probably find it. I have had it on my deck for a couple years now and never had any issues.

It's actually every 2 weeks for the mosquito attracting. Some, but not all of the mosquitos get zapped.

I haven't noticed any smell nor that it repelled mosquitoes. If you break a leaf then the smell comes out but it is not overwhelming.

I live in the Florida scrub. So we always have plenty of mosquitoes everywhere. My rain barrel is about four feet from my front door, so lots of people and pet traffic. We have not noticed an increase in mosquito in that area, and I have had it for for years. I put about two tablespoons of Clorox in mine every few months to kill larva. (There are other environmentally safe products you can get at local garden centers/Home Depot/ Loews.) Little green frogs appear on the urn and in tray from time to time- they seem to help control.

2 weeks, give or take, and may require a second application. I just head into the yard every 2 or 3 weeks to re-treat and hit the ones I missed last time. I'm sure by fall it will all be gone.
