10 Reviews: Best Mosquito Yard Sprays (Apr 2024)

Since the 1980s, picaridin has been used as a topical mosquito, tick, biting fly, and chigger repellent. According to the EPA, Picaridin has a low environmental impact and is safe around children and pets. Sawyer’s 20 percent picaridin lotion or spray is the finest because it’s easy to apply and has no noticeable aroma. While the maker claims 12-hour protection, it is also effective for more than 6 hours in a beer garden with visible insects. Sawyer offers smaller sizes for campers, travelers without luggage, or those wanting to experience before buying more.

"Works well for flies and mosquitoes"

Like candles and incense sticks, mosquito coils can be used in small areas. In addition to only the coil, PIC offers metal and terra cotta burners for its coils. During non-windy days, each coil can last up to six hours. Like incense, the smoke from the coils contains pyrethroids. Therefore, it is advisable to prevent inhaling the smoke of pyrethroids generated from plants by placing the coils about 10 feet apart. To hide the coils even further, you can also hang them. If the smell bothers you, try this.

"Mosquitos stay away from my body. The price is reasonable"

by Kiem Trong Nguyen

Incense is an excellent outdoor repellent. Essential oils can discourage insects, but smoke is more effective. Flying insects have trouble taking flight under rain, wind, or smoke. Three citronella-scented incense sticks in potted plants can repel mosquitoes for three hours. In addition, this candle’s scent isn’t overbearing and straightforward to hide. If possible, avoid placing them in front of seated people, as the smoke may be annoying.

"These mosquito repellent sticks are more effective than most things I've tried and they last longer too!"

by Vicki Wolf

This candle mixes citronella oil and wax to keep outdoor party goers comfortable. It’s perfect for table arrangements. Cutter upgraded its model with tall sides and a thicker base to make it wind-resistant. According to the maker, the candle has three wicks and burns for 30 hours. Closer is better. Therefore you need several for an expansive deck or garden. In addition, this candle yard for mosquitos combines comfort and light.

Wondercide also kills pests, including ants and mosquitoes, in addition to repelling them. As a result, it can be used in settings where pets and children congregate. Before the product dries, you can access treated areas and cover up to 5,000 square feet. It takes minimal time to apply Wondercide because it is sold ready-to-use. As with other natural pesticides and repellents, the more frequently used, the more effective it is. A month of absence may bring back the presence of mosquitoes and ticks.
