It absolutely works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was very easy to set up! I was very excited to put this near the door where mosquitos are the worst! I love how you just put water in and add the tabs in. One great thing about it is the dial on the top to show which month you added it last! It absolutely does work. I noticed I could sit out where I always sit and not be miserable from the mosquitos. I will absolutely continue to use this and buy refills when I run out of the ones sent. It is contained to where my animals can’t get into it and it’s so simple to do. Great product and it works!

Definitely works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These refills are so easy to use! Just put the tablets in the water and place the band on! It’s that easy. You can wear gloves to put on. It does work and has kept down the mosquitoes around my door. I was happy they sent refills and I will buy new ones when I run out. If you have a problem with mosquitoes try this set up!

Takes a few weeks but it really does work!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in Texas, mosquitoes are a constant problem almost year round, so I decided to try the Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent Starter and I've honestly been impressed with the results. After setting it up in our backyard and giving it a couple of weeks to work, I noticed a big decrease in the number of mosquitoes around our patio and yard, especially in the evenings when they're usually the worst. What I like most is that it works quietly in the background without sprays, strong smells, or constantly having to reapply anything. The setup was simple, and maintenance has been easy just checking the water and replacing the refill when needed. In Texas heat and humidity, finding something that actually helps control mosquitoes is a huge win. It's not an instant overnight fix, but with consistent use, it definitely helped make spending time outside more enjoyable for my family. I'd recommend it to anyone dealing with heavy mosquito problems, especially in southern states like Texas where mosquitoes can get out of control fast.

Easy and long lasting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the two refill pack for our Mosquito Kill and Protect. It is so easy to use and the replacement goes in so quickly. Each replacement lasts a month so this pack will get us through the worst of mosquito season. I would recommend these and the Kill and Protect Kit.

Have to be patient but works decently well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was pretty easy to set up, I had it set up for 2-3 weeks roughly now and although I see less mosquitos I’m still dealing with a lot so I’m not sure it’s working that great yet. It could possibly need a little more time. Great packaging and very portable. I do appreciate that it came with a refill.

We're sorry you were disappointed with Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent. To achieve the best results, To confirm the station is working, check for larvae in the water; while they may be alive initially, they will die before reaching adulthood. Because contaminated females fly away after laying eggs, you will not find dead adults in the station, though they typically die within nine days. You should see a notable reduction in the mosquito population within 2–3 weeks. The population will remain low across the 4,300 sq. ft. protection zone as long as the refill band is replaced monthly per label directions. Please note that overall results depend on the local mosquito population and the availability of alternative breeding sites. We would like to understand more about your experience and what we can do better. Please visit our Help Center at https://scottsmiraclegro.com/en-us/support/help-center/helpcenter to chat with us when you are able.

Mixed Feelings

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 4 Stars for seeing fewer mosquitoes in my yard. 3 Stars for it's very particular instructions for use. It would be nice to not need to put it in the shade. It seems to attract some mosquitoes and lower the population but it does require upkeep. It also does take about 10 days to start working an and requires every 30 day filter replacement. Worth it? Maybe. But spraying the yard works faster and well, too.

Easy to replace

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These replacements are easy to install and great to have on hand when needed to change out the old refill. This includes two packs of refill. They can be found at any of my local grocery stores and are individually packed and easy stored.

Not pet or child safe.

Not pet or child safe. This is essentially a bucket of water and chemicals. It has a 2 inch gap which would allow a dog to drink from it or kids to easily get in. It sys you can use in your backyard and it is pet safe. But then the directions say to use where there are not pets and children. Very misleading information and marketing.
