WondercideOutdoor Pest Control Spray with Natural Essential Oils - Mosquito, Ant, Insect Repellent, Treatment, Killer - Safe Around Pets Kids 32 oz

I have a dog who spends a lot of time in the yard so I've been looking for a mosquito repellent that is effective while also non-toxic to dogs. I was cautiously optimistic about trying Wondercide as it is DEET-free and "natural", and did not expect it to be super effective. But ever since I started using it two summers ago, I have become a repeat customer.First off, it is very easy to use. Just attach the bottle to a garden hose, turn the knob, and spray. The pressure is strong and even, and it takes 15-20 minutes to cover a typical yard. The treated area is safe to use as soon as it dries, usually within a few hours. Most importantly, it works. No, it's not as effective as DEET-based products, and it will not get rid of all mosquitoes, but it reliably reduces bites by 70-80% in my yard and the effects last a solid 4 weeks. For a DEET-free product, it's genuinely impressive.After two years of use and many repurchases, here are my pro tips to getting the best results:1) When first establishing control (beginning of season), spray twice within 2-4 days to knock out both adult mosquitoes and any larvae that hatch from the remaining eggs.2) Spray your patio, fence, walking paths, and outdoor furniture. The bottle says it's safe on outdoor fabric, but I recommend patch testing.3) Avoid applying in the morning or during the heat of the day. I recommend spraying in the evening to prevent sunburn on your plants and lawn, and to allow time for the product to dry properly.4) Since Wondercide is a "natural" alternative to longer-lasting pesticides, you will need to reapply throughout the season and after heavy rain. After the first double-spray, I typically reapply once every 4 weeks to maintain control.

Bought this to keep my yard pest-free, thinking it was a safe and effective alternative to harsher treatments. Spoiler alert: it didn’t repel anything. Not only did I still see insects, but my dog was sprayed by a skunk less than 24 hours after application. I’m aware skunks aren’t listed specifically, but when a product markets itself as outdoor pest control that treats everything from mosquitoes to ‘no-see-ums’, it’s fair to expect at least some deterrence of larger backyard invaders. Instead, I got a $40 bottle of cedar-scented disappointment. Save your money this is overpriced aromatherapy for your grass

I am using this product in Florida for Mosquito control. After three weeks of using this product just in my backyard, I have noticed a significant difference. My backyard is almost completely mosquito free. My front yard is untreated (for experimentation purposes of trying this product) and as soon as I cross the border from my back yard to my front yard, I get swarmed with mosquitoes. In the backyard, I don't have to wear a mosquito cover to do yard activities. In the front yard, I do have to wear a mosquito cover. That's how bad it is here. So that's my confirmation that this product is working.Pros:- Seems completely safe for our wildlife and our dogs.- Smells wonderful.- Easy to apply to the yard.- Instantly effective in helping to reduce the mosquito population on our property.- The wasps, bees, and dragonflies fly around and stay in the yard unharmed. Even right after spraying.Cons:- Becomes completely ineffective after a rain. So plan to respray your yard as soon as the weather dries up.- Does not seem to really "kill" the mosquitoes. Instead it seems to be an effective repellent against mosquitoes. After I spray, the mosquitoes visibly hover/swarm over our property just above the tallest point that I sprayed (I spray up into the bushes and trees). They attempt to land, but don't because of the spray. After a while, the mosquitoes just disappear off of our property.- You must use this in conjunction with other mosquito control products. This spray is effective, but if you want an almost mosquito-free yard, you need to include using mosquito traps on the perimeter of your property and mosquito BTI pellets for any fountains and potted plants to kill the larvae. Using all three methods is how we were able to attain an almost mosquito-free backyard.I don't have a problem with either fleas or ticks. So I cannot attest to whether this product works for that or not.I also realized that this product is most effective when you do the following:- Wait until your yard is completely dry from any rain or sprinklers.- Mow the grass and trim bushes first.- Apply the spray and include saturating all of the bushes and trees (our mosquitoes live in the branches of the trees and bushes here as well as in thick grass and mulch.- Refrain from watering your yard for at least 24 hours to let the repellent do it's work- Lightly water your lawn on the following days, but expect to reapply if you tend to saturate your yard when watering.I am removing one star due to the price. Because it is so easily washed off from the yard after a rain or good sprinkler soak, this can get expensive to use regularly during our Mosquito Season.I have a lot of trees and bushes in the backyard, so it takes one container just to cover everything in my backyard alone. I would need a second container to cover the front yard. I live on .3 acres.

I WOULD GIVE NO STARS if I could. I have two dogs. One of my dogs had a severe allergic reaction to this product! I read all of the information thoroughly to make sure it was safe for pets. I let it dry completely after both times I used it even though the instructions said no wait time. Spent $90 total for the product and refill and applied as directed twice over a week period. Within 2 days after the second application my dog started getting an allergic reaction. I AM SO BEYOND FRUSTRATED that they do not say anywhere that the cedar oil can cause an allergic skin reaction for animals. I never would have risked it if it said it. I should have googled the ingredients but I trusted their write up. She has lost hair on all four of her paws, red and raw. Started out putting topical anti itch medications on them. This has not worked and now we have a vet appointment. Pics are of 3 of her feet not just one foot. Be very cautious if you buy this. This has been a horrific experience.

This pet-friendly outdoor pesticide is exactly what I was looking for! I have dogs that love running around the yard, so safety is a top priority. I’m so impressed with how well it works—mosquitoes, ants, and other pests are gone, and I have peace of mind knowing it’s non-toxic for my pets. It’s easy to apply, has a mild scent, and didn’t leave any residue. I’ve already noticed a huge difference in just a few days. Highly recommend for any pet parent who wants a bug-free yard without the worry!
