A Great Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased to have Ortho Home Defense setting where I can grab it quickly as we have had an invasion of mosquitos due to our recent rains. They are very tiny mosquitoes, not quite like I have seen before. They don’t have a chance for survival with Home Defense on hand. It works on flies as well, aphids on my plants, & many other aggravating bugs. I recommend keeping it on hand always.

This fogger works great the HOME DEFENSE BACKYARD MOSQUITO KILLER FOGGER makes our camping trips so much better. We love to camp but always get attack by the mosquitoes . We now fog the area and so far we have not had any problems the spray works very well and last most of the evenings. If the wind is blowing strong then we must spray again. for the most part it work great.

Ortho Home Defense Backyard Mosquito Killer Fogger. We live in Zone 7 area where mosquitoes show up as soon as the temperature rises. The 18-ounce mosquito fogger is a constant around our house to cut down on bites. There are so many places mosquitoes live, lawn, any standing water, plants, shrubs, bushes, grassy areas. Since mosquitoes transmit diseases like Zika and West Nile, we all need the protection. Ortho Home Defense covers up to 2,250 square feet. Kills ornamental garden pest for up to 7 days. Simply press the valve and let the aerosol mist kill and repel these outdoors pests in the hard-to-reach places where they thrive. Continues to kill mosquitoes that land on treated surfaces for up to 8 hours. Do not apply where food is present.

It's like bug repellent, only for everywhere else, but your skin. This is so much better than lathering myself in bug spray. All you have to do is spray nearby plants, bushes, and trees and the bugs will stay away (mostly). It smells just like traditional bug spray...so it's not too bad. It still beats having that sticky feeling. Also, it is not too harsh on the environment.
As someone that cares about the environment, I feel totally comfortable using this spray. It has no CFCs and won't kill your plants... This is great for people that live in tropical climates and don't want to get Zika. Zika is not fun. Definitely a good spray for the exterior of your home, if you want to make sure the mosquitoes go to the next house.
I plan on using this the day before and during a home BBQ. Just to provide an extra layer of bug-proofing!

This Ortho product works great and lasts for up to 7 days if there is no rain. We use this 18 oz. Home Defense Backyard Mosquito Killer Fogger specifically in our backyard patio area and around our Gazebo. This fogger performs well and kills bugs in minutes and keeps them away for days to come. We also use other Ortho products when debugging our entire yard area that we spend time in regularly and are pleased that these products perform to our expectations. We hate bugs and Ortho does too. I recommend this product because it works and I trust the brand.

This 18 oz. Home Defense Mosquito Fogger is a good product for limiting the mosquito population in your backyard. Just spray the area such as deck or patio 10-20 minutes before sit outside and you will have a much better time.
I sprayed this fogger before planting some annuals today and did not get any bug bites. Hopefully it'll work well in the summer when the mosquito population is more significant.
I've used a couple other similar foggers in the past and they work pretty much the same way. From my experience they are effective for up to two hours after spraying but this product claims much longer times.
