Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent Starter Kit

Enjoy your yard without the buzz and bite. This product uses the Aedes and Culex mosquitos' own behavior to kill existing ones and prevent new ones from developing, creating a 4,300 sq. ft. protection zone around your home.

Key Features

• CREATES A PROTECTION ZONE: Each station creates a 4,300 sq. ft. zone of protection to control mosquitoes* over time, meaning you see less mosquitoes* as the season goes on
  
• EASY TO USE: Simply add water to the station, add a refill band, and place it in a shaded area; there are no flames, no sprays, and no batteries needed

*Aedes & Culex spp.

About This Product

Mosquitoes* are a natural part of the ecosystem, but they don't have to be a part of your backyard party. We get it—you want to enjoy the outdoor space you love without being bothered. Ortho Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent is designed to give you that peace of mind. This station works with a mosquito's* natural instincts. It attracts them by mimicking an ideal breeding site where they become contaminated with a dual-action formula. When they fly off to other breeding spots, they spread the formula, preventing new larvae from developing and controlling mosquito* populations over time. The adults die within 9 days. It’s a clever way to let mosquitoes do the work for you. It's simple to set up, requires no flames or batteries, and creates a 4,300 sq. ft. protection zone so you and your family can get back to enjoying your yard.

Product Tips

• Find the Right Spot: For best results, place the station in a shaded area near bushes, trees, or the edges of your property where mosquitoes tend to gather.
  
• Remove Standing Water: Help reduce breeding grounds by removing or emptying other sources of standing water in your yard, like unused containers, flower pots, or plastic caps.
