It's reportedly a safer alternative to Deet.I've never tried Deet products but this works excellently!

We are in a prime mosquito haven and I didn't really think of this as a repellent for them my main concern was for ticks. When we are outside while I'm being surrounded by the blood thirsty suckers, the don't swarm the dogs like they usually do since we started giving these to them. We have black dogs and every other year they are miserable with the mosquitos bitting them, this year I'm jealous of them.

Yes it does. It is a natural way to repel mosquitos and other flying creatures.

YES! It's great for ticks. I believe it was actually formulated to repel ticks. Good luck! We love it!!

Absolutely yes. It is non-toxic. It does not kill bugs it just repels them.

Be careful, do not use this by children or animals! It smells just like crushed moth balls which is very toxic - my nasal passages are burning! There is a natural snake repellent - this is not it!

I think this would kill any insect, but it is so potent it shouldn't be used it on anything that produces food. That means birds could also be harmed. The label even has a cautionary statement to not use around ponds, streams etc. - all waterways where fish & other amphibious creatures inhabit. That is why I've used it twice in five years & only on our house plants.

We would not buy this stuff again, because it is very dangerous if inhaled or gets on your skin. It does kill the roaches, but the smallest amount around my wife made her nauseous. If you read the label (go to google) you will see that it does kill tics and fleas but cannot be applied to animals, infact the warning is that people and animals should not go near treated areas until dry. With my health conscious background, I surprised myself that I purchased this very dangerous product. i will be getting rid of it. Way to risky for me!

It is an organic medium carrying bacterial spores that, when active, will kills mosquito larvae. The active ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis "israelensis" (or BTi). It is only effective against the larval stage of the mosquito and is recommended to be placed in standing water. This is a granulated version of the "Mosquito Dunks".

There is a product on Amazon called Mosquito Bits. I bought some for our pet water bowls and put in just a few granules. It can also be used on soil. This might work for you.

The ingredients are all natural. I no longer have the bottle I bought but it is a mixture of about 5 different oils. It smells like cloves so that has to be one of the main ingredients. I believe there is also cinnamon in it and there are a few other natural oils. It's also water based so it shouldn't harm any fabric it's sprayed on. I liked the smell of it and it didn't bother my pets. It also didn't work as well as I expected...it killed the bugs dead on the spot when sprayed on them but as for having a residual killing effect which I was hoping for that didn't happen.

Roundup is a better product for this anti flying mosquito use.Spectracide is more for worms and other crawling bugs.

Honestly, I don't know for sure. I bought this for the sole purpose of repelling moths, while freshening up the scent in my closet. Sorry, I don't know about the effects it would have as mosquito repellent.

Hello Carol, I have been using Bifen for several years. This stuff is great however I wouldn't say it's a repellant. Many insects will go about their daily lives and for the most part ignore the biffen residue. But once they cross the barrier you have sprayed they will die within a short amount of time.

I really cannot say... unfortunately... I do agree though that it is not good for your pets. I've bought others from the hardware store that didn't work as well for me... but, you can give it a try... I'm not sure what the difference is... but, I bought the little pills too and through them under the house... I think they and the powder have sugar in them... to attract the bugs into eating it.. Sorry... if I get my son to get the bottle out of the garage, I'll look...

Reading the ingredient label, I see no toxins listed and it is safe to use around children and pets, as stated on label. Hope this helps
