We live in Michigan where mosquitos are big time pests. Would this soap and the scent draw more mosquitos to you?

I live in Oklahoma and we have a tremendous amount of mosquitos as well! We have a lot of lakes and high humidity. I do a lot of yard work and use this soap everyday. I have not noticed an increased amount of mosquitos being drawn to the scent (and they love me), but at the same time I always use repellant anytime I'm working outside (mainly due to West Nile Virus), so I don't know if I can give you a truly honest answer. If you are concerned about the scent you might use the soap in the winter only...it's wonderful and will not not dry out your skin. I hope my answer helps you. Good luck!

I don't think so....I haven't noticed attraction with it and it's not like the scent it's over barring and lasts all day.

This is great soap, but it's pretty strong. I'm a grown man, and it hurts my eyes, if I get it into them. I would not wash a baby's face with it.

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.

I love this stuff! I have not noticed that it kills or keeps away bees or butterflies. We have been inundated with mosquitos and can't go outside without 20 to 30 buzzing around us and our dogs. The Mosquito Barrier does not get rid of all mosquitos, but definitely makes going outside much more tolerable.

Cheryl, I'm not really sure. I does not say so on the package. I think it attracts more flying bugs because it has a certain scent.

Yes, it is intended for southern or coastal areas. These mosquito's are are black with white stripes. The Octenol is used up north.

It's way too strong to put directly on your skin undiluted. Do what that other person said to do. Dilute it down and use it in a spray bottle, but you do have to shake it good every time before spraying. Avoid your eyes and other sensitive parts of your body. I spray it on me, my clothes, and the furniture in my outdoor room starting around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon when the mosquitoes start coming. It doesn't smell bad either.

Yes it works very well on Mosquitos; leave on 24 hrs a day: empty basket about once per week...lots of bugs (including mosquitos!) Recommended without hesitation.

This is designed yo attract mosquito's outdoors. Refer to the placement mguide included with it, you should place in a shaded area close to where they breed and between breeding and human activity.If you have mosquito's in your house I would contact a pest control company

I honestly wouldn't recommend it. A friend of mine with sensitive skin had a rash from the band and they did not repel the mosquitoes at all.

That is a good question and I do not know the answer. Maybe you should contact the seller who made this soap and ask them. Best wishes.

We tried it here (live in Lewisville near Lewisville Lake), and it seemed to do very little on Texas mosquitoes. Might have been our terrain and bushes.We just unpacked it again this year, but the fan had quit working (it is about 9 years old). Back in MN we had the perfect setup -- we put it at the high weed line next to our little stream, and we were bothered by very few mosquitoes. My biggest challenge was keeping the tree frogs out of it because they'd be attracted by the black light, crawl inside, and get munched by the fan.

I use it at the Lake of the Ozarks on our porch which is elevated. We generally don't get mosquitos.

I had to hang the lurex to my dynatrap by wire. either way, I did not attract the mosquitos that were biting me with the different attractant. I am in southern cal so not sure if it attracts the mosquitos here. I did use aveeno skin lotion and it seemed to work! I can sit outside at nite without the mosquitos biting my head, arms or legs. go figure. will have to test aveeno in a more mosquito rich environment.

I couldn't tell you the answer to that, but I can say that this was exactly my experience last summer. I tried everything I could think of, and nothing worked. This year we went with a mosquito spraying service instead; I wish I had just done that last year.

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 if you spray it where they enter or spray it in standing water that breeds mosquito's.
