It's truly not a sponsored ad. I found the product and showed you how it worked on my back porch. It won't work if a constant breeze carries the product away.

You can make your own a lot cheaper. All this appears to be: a humidifier and an oil in water emulsified aqueous solution of essential oils. If you use an ultrasonic humidifier, soft water, and essential oils that are known to repel mosquitoes such as peppermint, basil (has high linalool content that repels), citronellol (the part of citronella that is effective), cinnamic aldehyde (cinnamon oil), lavender, (and many others), it refracts oil that has not been emulsified, and disperses it into the ambient environment as you'd expect from any humidifier. You do not need to be tied to this proprietary system. In any case, vaping a mixture of potentially caustic carvones and aldeyhdes is not something I'd want to make a habit of inhaling, no matter what the ppm concentration was.

yup

I purchased one of these units to use on our deck and patio around a pool. I've only had it 2 weeks and so far no mosquito bites. We even used it while the wind was blowing and I thought it would never work, but so far, very impressed with the unit. Home Depot has the best price I've found.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like mitt romney?

[@rudyvalntine]

Rick, where do you buy the repellant for this unit and how much does the repellent cost?

[@Puschon]

I have a question about coverage area. The manufacturer states the coverage is 2000 sf, at least that is what stated on the Home Depot site in product description. However, you stated one unit will cover a 30x30 patio?

I agree that the product wouldn't work on a boat, but why be so cynical? I'm not asking you to buy it. I'm just presenting some options.

Hi What is that liquid you are using in that machine ?

[@birenkakkar6723]

It really works thanks

[@VanlifewithAlan]

@aaaarrrgggghh I have just bought some lavender for indoors and I hope that that is going to work. We don't find out what the natural repellent here is.

If Mosquito's are that bad! I wouldn't go out side!

[@MetalEye1]

Sure looks like a sponsored video to me. And that thing wouldn't work if there was a slight breeze

[@pvsicklen113]

I bought this machine, but now cannot find the liquid repellent solution..looks like it's been discontinued. Is there any other solution that will work in the machine?

[@teresitasainz382]

Solutions Pest & Lawn 1800-479-6583 price is double than Home Depot and Lowes

[@miguelbarker2544]

I think Mosquito Sentry went out of business.... Their website is down and can not find their products at any store or online

[@iamimad123456]

oh i don't like it we need something free like the coca cola one

[@linneaerickson3934]

I found a product called Skeeterbag that works great. It only costs $20 and you use it with a cheap box fan. Catches thousands of mosquitoes. Check out their website.

[@Theking49817]

It's huge

[@aaaarrrgggghh]

sounds interesting but if you plant lemon basil and lemon grass all around your house, mosquitoes will magically disappear. They simply go riproduce somewhere else. It seems too simple for it to function so don't do it! lol
