Mediocre in effectiveness, short rangeMay 10, 2008
By T. M.
I bought this product at Walmart last year for $14.99. It works by using mosquito repellant packs that are mildly heated by the device. Repellant packs each last about 2 weeks and cost about $7.00 for a twin pack.
The internal batteries are charged by solar.
In researching the product online, descriptions had stated "effective for 100 feet", so I'd thought that would cover most of my backyard. Turns out, it covers a 10 x 10 area, so it's more for the size of patio than a whole yard. Even so, it did reduce (but not eliminate) the mosquitos that came around. I doubt that it is more effective than an ordinary citronella candle. Did not have a noticeable odor, and is attractive to sit on the patio or in a nearby flowerbed.

 A looserMay 25, 2009

This device is totally ineffective. It's 100 sq ft capacity matched our problem area. The mosquitoes bite you even within a few feet of this joke machine.

 great way to get rid of mosquitos with no spray!Jul 14, 2010
By Sarah Mihelich
"mom extraordinare"
I've had this product for over a year now, and i can say that it works wonders! Just a minute or so after you turn it on, you can watch the mosquitos bolt!
The active ingredient (linalool) prevents the little buggars from tracking human scent. They can't smell you, so they can't find you!
This model, with the solar charged batteries, is perfect for camping or for just sitting on the porch. It's cute, small and portable.
One tip--when you find that the cartridge is running low, take it out and flip the sponge over to get to the fresh juice at the bottom. You're cartridges will last a very long time this way.

This is easy and inexpensive to use. I was much less bothered by mosquitos than is usually the case in my somewhat wild backyard. The best part is not having to spray myself with questionable chemicals. If I'm gardening, I can easily carry it around with me. It's amazing how well it works to keep the mosquitos away.
