PetraMax Mosquito Miracle

Nice

We live in South Florida and mosquitoes are a constant problem. We tried a number of different things to keep them away from our patio but none work 100%. The same is true for this stuff, we still get the occasional bite, but it clearly reduces the number, so it must repel some of them. We also like the fact that it is all natural and pet-safe, so we don't have to worry about our dogs. It is a concentrate that you mix up in a spray bottle or fogger and the bottle is enough for a good amount of solution. We spray it around the walls and furniture on our patio and notice a reduction in mosquitoes that lasts about 2-3 days. The scent is pleasant and not as overwhelming as some other citronella products we have tried before. We see about the same level of effectiveness as when using repellent applied to the skin. Price-wise, this stuff provides more bang for the buck and we don't have to worry about getting it right onto our skin. We will order more when the bottle is empty.

I don't have a fogger to use this in but I do have a sprayer and when I mixed up the ratio on the product, I didn't have any issues with the smell, or spraying or any other issues like that. The smell is strong when it is first sprayed and I'm not sure if using a fogger would be better or worse. It isn't overpowering just there. The mosquito population was reduced quite a bit, which is a huge relief because I am their all you can eat buffet. Around 80% of what I do in the back yard is to prevent mosquitoes and other pests, including plants, other pesticides, and attracting bats and dragonflies. This is definitely going into my rotation.

not sure if it works as yet for me

Mosquitos tend to follow me and find me wherever I go. It's nearly impossible for me to step outside in a warm humid climate without being bitten by mosquitos at least once, no matter how short my outside stay is.I've used professional services in the past to provide mosquito treatments over the summer months, which tend to work pretty well - but we all know that it's only really as good when your neighbors are also doing their part.Either way, I got this product, hoping to at least alleviate the ongoing cost of professional services on a monthly basis - and so far, this has worked just as well as any professional services I've paid for.With the right spray equipment, this is very easy to apply, and can be quite therapeutic. The instructions are easy to follow and clear.Once you've sprayed this throughout your yard and outside your house, it feels like it takes a few days before you'll really notice any difference. But I definitely noticed a difference. There were still mosquitos, but far fewer. And I could be outside for longer periods of time before having to douse myself in mosquito repellent.It does have a bit of a chemical smell to it, but depending on who you ask, it can be described as a nice smell (considering its purpose).Overall, it's a product that works, if you put in the effort. It won't exactly perform miracles, but it certainly helps.
