Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put this in our backyard a few days ago. We have noticed that there were no mosquitoes. Our yard is usually full of them that we cannot go into our yard without being bit. I am now able to sit in my yard without worrying about being bit!

The Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill and Prevent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Control Kill and Prevent protects up to 4,300 sq. ft. against mosquitoes and larvae that may transmit Zika virus, West Nile virus, Dengue Fever, and Chikungunya. Just replace the band every 30 days, check water level periodically and refill as needed.

Simple and effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent is a quick solution to reducing the number of mosquitos in your area. I would say it too about 3 minutes from arriving in my doorstep to having it setup and working in the backyard. It really is a nice and simple product to help reduce mosquitos. Maintenance is simple and each refill band lasts for a month at a time. I would say for a few minutes of work a month this is a worthwhile product to use.

Wonderfully convenient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems to be yet another great product from Ortho, my go to for big and insect control. This unit is very easy to setup. I love the fact that it is very simple and easy to refill. The convenient month teacher on top tab helps also to remember when to put in a refill. I've put my unit outside on the back patio where most of our outdoor activities take place. It has only been up for a week now but I have total faith that this method will work wonderfully. So nice not to have messy sprays and liquids to use. Will update as time passes or if any issues. Easy and convenient.

Too early to tell?

I have not noticed a difference (decrease) at this point in mosquito activity around my home.

Thank you for your feedback regarding Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent Refills. Adult mosquitos that enter the station and are contaminated with the actives will die within 9 days. Because the female mosquito flies away after laying eggs, dead adult mosquitos will not be found in the station. While contaminated adult mosquitos will die within 9 days, this product primarily targets larvae. The larvae may be alive in the station but will die before they mature to adults. To confirm that a station is working you can look for larvae in the water of the station. Larvae in the station may be alive but will die before they mature to adults. A notable reduction in the mosquito population should be seen in 2-3 weeks. Once the existing adult mosquitos die the mosquito population should remain low with in the 4,300 sq. ft. protection zone as long as the refill band is replaced every month per label direction. Overall results will be contingent on the mosquito population in the area and the availability of other breeding sites for the mosquitos. If there is anything we can do to help you have a 5-star experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 866-324-9192 for assistance.

We understand your concern about the effectiveness of the Home Defense Kill & Prevent station. We're here to help you understand how it works and ensure you get the best results. Here's how the station works: Attract: The station is designed to mimic an ideal breeding site, using a combination of color, scent, and water to attract egg-laying female mosquitoes. Contaminate: Once inside the station, mosquitoes lay their eggs and become contaminated with the dual-action formula. Spread: The mosquitoes then exit the station and continue their natural breeding behavior, spreading the control formula to other breeding sites they visit. Control: This process kills mosquito larvae within the station and at other contaminated breeding sites.  If there is anything we can do to help you have a 5-star experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 866-324-9192 for assistance.
