Outdoor Pest Control Yard Spray

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) Cut your grass first. 2) When first establishing control, spray twice within 2-4 days to knock out both adult mosquitoes and any larvae that hatch from the remaining eggs. 3) Spray your patio, fence, walking paths, and outdoor furniture. The bottle says it's safe on outdoor fabric, but I recommend patch testing. 4) Avoid applying in the morning and during the heat of the day. Spray in the evening to prevent sunburn on your plants and lawn, and to allow time for the product to dry properly. 5) Since Wondercide is an alternative to longer-lasting pesticides, you will need to reapply more frequently throughout the season and after heavy rain. After the first double-spray, I typically reapply once every 4 weeks to maintain control.

Love love love this bug spray!! I have a back yard that is mostly sand with a few persistent weeds so the bugs go bananas. The biting gnats, fleas, mosquitos and flies were out of control before I started using this stuff. It works overnight and lasts a few months. I usually only need half the bottle for a backyard that’s about 60X60’. Just last week, I was literally being eaten alive and my poor pups had gnats crawling on their faces and eyes Friday night and after spraying Saturday afternoon not a single bug can be seen out back. As a bonus the spray smells so good that it even deodorizes the yard since they pee everywhere and have favorite spots some parts of the yard can get a bit gross in the hot sun. The biggest plus is that it’s safe for the dogs, chickens and people short and long term. After having 3 dogs pass from cancer at a young age when my family use to use the main brand insecticide. I will never go back to the regular chemicals. It’s sad that most big brands are nothing but con artists when it comes to marketing pet safe products. This product is the real deal.

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 don't typically review things but this worked really well and was so easy. Much cheaper than hiring a company and glad its safe for my kids and my dog.

I sprayed my entire front and backyard with this spray and I was so excited I found a clean product to try for the huge mosquito problem in my neighborhood. Used almost the whole bottle in the first use and once night hit we were still getting swarmed by mosquitos. I do have to say if you are getting it to stop something else, it could be a good solution as it dropped a wasp to the ground as soon as I sprayed it. Just didn't work for my mosquito problem at all. Smelled great when I was spraying it and the sprayer worked great and sprayed far.

I love that this formula is plant-powered and safe to use around people and pets, but still strong enough to wipe out all the nuisance pests outside our home. The hose attachment makes it very straightforward to apply. It gives fast results and smells great too. Will definitely keep using this to keep the yard bug-free!

We have been using the WONDERCIDE pest control inside of our home and has provided excellent results. We used the Outdoor pest control for the first time and had immediate success with pest control. It’s safe to use around everyone, our pets and plants. The scent was a delightful surprise as well.

We live in WI on top of an ant hill. They're horrible! We are also a pretty crunchy family and try hard to use whatever nontoxic options we can, especially in areas where our kids will play. We've used this spray for 2 summers and will use it again this year. The first year, we applied twice as directed and never again, and it didn't do much for our ant problem. Last summer, I read somewhere that it works best if you can apply in April twice, and then about every 3 weeks through summer. It requires more spray, but it did do the trick! Gets a little pricey by the end of summer constantly re-ordering, but it was worth it for us to have the peace of mind that the kids aren't absorbing anything too harmful through their bare feet.
