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

My story of found freedom from mosquitos. Bought this Bonide product and was ready to fog my backyard and all of a sudden the fogger caught on fire so I had to throw it away. Anxious to use the product because of a family get together the next day, I used my yard sprayer instead. Used 1/4 cup of product to 1.5 gallons of water and sprayed the product around the yard and house. BINGO! The product worked so much better than the fogger and it lasted for two weeks there abouts. Not one mosquito and I live in South Florida - home of the larger mosquitos. I sprayed where the rain can't get to like under the eves of the roof and the outside walls. Give it a try!

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.

Works quick on several insects no bad odor. The only setback is the time only lasted a week or so.

This is my first foray into foggers and I have nothing to compare it too. I have used this product daily for 2 weeks now and here are my observations. It produces a very dense fog that seems to stick close to the ground as it should. There is a noticeable "burnt oil" smell to it. I have watched as thousands of insects simply take off and fly away when enveloped by the fog, and I have not seen it actually kill anything. However our family does notice that the mosquito population seems to be a little diminished. Compared to the benefit we noticed from our "bug zapper" light, it is not as effective and obviously takes much more labor to use. I would probably recommend this for use in areas where a bug zapper is not easily deployed, and would have obvious applications in camping.

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.

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!

Works great! I live on a lake and have used almost every brand out there, in an attempt to control the bad mosquitoes we get here in Florida, and this one is the best bang for your buck (outside of making your own). This does NOT instantly kill mosquitos, it does take about 30-60 minutes before you will notice anything, but I can tell you for sure that even though the mosquitoes didn't just drop out of the air when spraying them, after a few minutes you will see a lot of them clear out, and the ones that do not, will eventually die over time.

It’s garbage. We still got slammed by mosquitoes. Don’t forget the mosquito spray
