Safe, Easy to Setup and Very Effective!

Device was easy to setup and extremely effective! Noticed a drastic reduction in mosquitoes and much more pleasant to sit outdoors in the evening! Highly recommend this safe and effective treatment for controlling mosquitoes in your outdoor living space

Not sure it works in Florida

I have placed 2 of the Ortho Defence units on my property. After 2 weeks, I wish I could say the mosquito problem has been controlled. My landscaper sprayed the grass with a mosquito killer as well. There has been a lot of rain in my part of Florida. I give it a “maybe”it works rating.

Thank you for your feedback on your purchase of 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. 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.

Effective Long Term Mosquito Control

This system is not an immediate knockdown of mosquitoes, but it will reduce their population over time. Best to install multiple stations to increase effectiveness. If you’re the type that doesn’t wish to fog their yard with insecticide, this is the next best control option. Give it several weeks to see results.

Not very effective

I installed the mosquito trap at the end of our deck 10 days ago and I can’t say that any mosquitoes have been caught. Not particularly appealing to the eye either.

Hi RalphG, we are sorry for any confusion, you will not find dead mosquitoes in your Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent. Once mosquitos enter the station, they lay their eggs and become contaminated with the dual-action formula. They then exit the station, continuing their natural breeding behavior, and spread the control formula to other breeding sites they visit. Larvae within the station and at the other contaminated breeding sites are killed. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to reach out we can be contacted at 888-324-0755.

Accounts Payable

When setting up placing the band was not as easy as it looks. I also have been able to enjoy outside for we have had a lot of rain since we put it outside.

High cost. Low benefit.

I don’t see any benefit and the cost is too high. Initial kit only comes with one packet. Should have three for that cost.

Mosquitos are using it and the larva are dying

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first heard about this I thought it was an awesome concept as long as it works. One box covers a very large area and the starter kit comes with 2 refills, which is enough for 2 months. It is easy to set up, though I recommend wearing disposable gloves because the powder is very fine. I like that the red lock-in piece has a monthly counter on it so it is easy to track when to add the next refill. The directions mention making sure to top up the water to the fill line due to evaporation, but so far I haven't needed to do this. It has been set up for about 11 days. I noticed the larva swimming around so I was concerned that this wasn't working, but the next day I saw less larva swimming around and noticed all the dead ones that had sunk to the bottom. The mosquitos are using the box and the larva are dying, so I call this a win.
