Can you use it inside the home to kill Mosquitos? If not, what would you recommend?

For indoors i'd so no, it does give off sort of smoke and odor that dissapates outside. We use on our deck however and love it. We put on table btw us while playing cards.

I would not use it inside.....not sure what the instructions say, but it does have an odor if you are very close to it. I do not know what to use inside, sorry.

It does not really kill Mosquitos, rather, it is just like bud spray that provide repellant, except the ThermaCELL does not require you to put any spray on your body. To kill Mosquitos, you need to look for those big unit that uses propane to simulate the heat generated by human and suck it into its trap. I believe those devices are called Mosquitos trap.

i use one at an entrance door under my carport. it is not completely open but it does exactly what i hoped it would which was to keep mosquitoes away from the door. it works great for that.

Yes, the Bug Ring will work inside your home. Set your fan or fans with the Bug Ring Attached in the room where you are seeing most mosquitoes and leave it on 24/7. And remember the best way to keep them out of your home is to have a fan (or a couple of fans when mosquitoes are really bad) with a Bug Ring attached set up outside on your porch or patio to catch the pests before they get into the house. We leave ours running 24/7 on our porch and right by the front door.

Yes, it can be used indoors. I'm sure they could be uncomfortable if hit at a close distance, but my son has never shot me with one, lol... but he does shoot it indoors.

MLH, as I read on the instructions the device should only be used outdoors. It does have a gaseous odor so we don't think it would be wise for use indoors. The lantern would probably be effective in the garage if it was properly well ventilated but I would have to refer you back the instructions which also doesn't recommend indoor use. The lanterns seem to work better than the portable and they don't attract mosquitoes but repel them. We use the lanterns on our back deck in the summer and they seem to work well but you have to activate them about 15 mins before you plan on enjoying the outdoors. Hope this helps. Jan

I have never used it for mosquitoes. Just for the bugs that munch on my tropical plants and flowers. And now that you asked this question, I have only seen one mosquito so far..hmmmmm..and I live in Florida.

It will not kill the actual mosquito. I will kill it's eggs/lavae in the water. Use it in any standing water outside (buckets, rain collection barrel, etc) . This kills the eggs immediately (a day or two), then use "Mosquito dunks" for water that will be staying in those buckets/dishes/barrels outside. It will last for 30 days..killing eggs.

Didn't think about mosquitos, but i don't see why it wouldn't work if it's in a confined space like a carport or semi enclosed patio. I know that it works well with spiders.

We Live in Arizona and don't have mosquitos here so I honestly cannot say if it is effective on mosquitos. I would check with the people that sell it, they should be able to answer your question.

It should not be used indoors either. Mine quit after a month or so. You get what you pay for.

Tim, I only use it inside. Maybe you might call the manufacturer to find an answer????

I wouldn't use it indoors. Besides the chemical aspect, it has a strong smell to it that would not be pleasing indoors. You might want to try mosquito netting or one of those homemade mosquito traps instead.

I have one for indoor & outdoor use. The one outside is within a breeze way. I noticed mosquitoes will lay lay eggs in the water bowl and there can be hundreds swimming around. Evidently they can make their way up the holding tank because I have found flying mosquitoes inside that must have come to maturity before the tank refilled with water which was once a week.

I'm sure the maker thinks it can be used indoors except they won't tell you about the water it will spray all over your floor! Just don't buy it. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that it's probably necessary to pay $400 for the kind that works.

There is no poison so I would think that you can use it inside, I use it inside my house it smells great to me!
