Bonide Mosquito Beater Flying Insect Fog, 128 oz Ready-To-Use Kills Insects and Mosquitoes in Lawn and Garden

This product puts out a slightly thicker fog that seems to linger significantly longer than the Blackflag insecticide. I do a weird pattern, starting from my garage, then going clockwise around the house until I make 3/4s of a circle and reach the other gate back into the front yard. I then go backwards, this time along the back fence (whereas with the first pass, I stay very near the house.) After the backyard is finished, I go do the other half of the front yard. Anyways, much to my surprise, by the time I got done with the second half of the front yard, I could still see the fog in the backyard roughly 4-5 minutes after it'd been fogged. Quite impressive! I'd fogged with Blackflag for a month, and I'm sure a person or two saw me, but I never saw anyone that suspected there was a fire (even though I would always be saying to myself "Damn... hope nobody calls 911 on me today!") The Blackflag definitely puts out substantial fog, but perhaps not quite enough to scare people? Anyways, the second time I used this stuff, my neighbor stopped his car to see if there was a fire, a second one came out of their house for the same reason, and a car from down the street passed by very slowly (I was busy around the corner at the time, else I would have said something) and then turned around and passed by again 60 seconds later. Not sure if they will grow accustomed to seeing the fog, if I should preemptively call 911 to warn them, or if I should buy a sign with flashing lights! The heavier fog would seem to suggest that this is a superior product, but that isn't necessarily the case since it obviously isn't the thickness of the fog that kills the mosquitoes, but rather the chemicals within that fog, and I'd guess that the active ingredients are slightly different. If you're currently using the Blackflag insecticide, though, I would suggest giving this Bonide stuff a try to see if you like it better. It's hard to gauge the effectiveness of each product, but the Bonide stuff is definitely worth a shot.

I ordered this as an alternative to the Black Flag product, which I used as an alternative to the Burgess insecticide, which is no longer available. The Bonide insecticide is the only one I could find available in gallon sizes. In the Atlanta, GA area, we have lots of mosquitos, even during drought periods, because they breed freely in the storm sewers, which always have the necessary stagnant water. This product makes a denser fog than the others and seems to linger longer. These fogs kill on contact and have no residual action, so a dense, long-lasting fog has a higher probability of killing more mosquitos. By the way, these products kill other insects as well - not just mosquitos, so be careful if there are bees in the area, lest you inadvertently contribute to the honey bee decline. The best time to fog is early in the morning when the mosquitos are still relatively dormant. Mosquitos "rest" on yard plants and subsist on plant juices until they detect warm bodies in the area, then they - the females - move in for a blood meal, so fog flowers, bushes, dense ground cover heavily to ensure that you kill as many as possible. Bonide makes an excellent product and I recommend it highly and without reservation. By the way, Ozbo, the vendor, corrected a problem caused by the shipper and got the product to me quickly and without a hassel. Excellent customer service!

It's pretty easy to use with the propane fogger. If I carefully fog the many mosquito hangouts, bushes, in my yard, I get one evening of relative relief from the buzzing hordes. But by the next evening, replacements have arrived and deployed, eager to attack. However---I made a side discovery. This stuff wiped out the clouds of aphids, tiny flies, and other flying pests that have tormented my vegetables all summer! For that, I give it 5 stars and would recommend it to any gardener with a similar problem.

Works better than most water based products. Our lot is in low land near a river, so we have an extraordinary amount of mosquitoes. It definitely makes a difference. The jug design has issues, though. No matter what I try to pour the product into the fogger, it always runs down the side of the jug. Otherwise, I would have rated it a four.

The product is awesome. I have used it for some time. Very much worth the price, especially camping. Highly recommend.. My delivery was not so good. Delivered to the wrong address. Luckily the person it was delivered to knows Me, thus brought it to Me.

OK GOOD

Used it 5 times still mosquitoes

I bought this mosquito spray hoping it would keep the bugs away, but unfortunately it did not work at all. I sprayed it on multiple times as directed, and within minutes I was still getting bitten. The mosquitoes didn’t seem bothered by it in the slightest. Not only was it a waste of money, but I ended up with itchy bites all over. Very disappointed—would not recommend if you actually need protection.
