Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You can get picked up and carried away by the mosquitoes on my property. THEY GET BAD! But we have a 1/2 acre fish pond so I thought it was just going to be a fact of life. Ponds = blood suckers in the summer. UNTIL we found this stuff. I sprinkled some in the pond and started noticing within a few days that mosquitoes couldnt pick up and carry off the dog anymore... after a week, they are almost gone. Sure theres the occasional one or two buzzing around sticking their tongues out at us as they fly by... but I can actually go out and enjoy my garden for a change without taking a bath in DEET first. Very Very VERY pleased with this stuff and I will be buying more every season. Now maybe my neighbors will talk to me and stop contemplating bulldozing my pond over when Im out of town! Ha! To those that put a little around their yard and still find mosquitoes in their face, Im going to suggest that you are not finding the source of where they are coming from. This stuff isnt a "magic force field"... 06/01/2013 UPDATE: I still use Mosquito Bits every season and Im STILL VERY VERY pleased with this product. My garden has proudly been certified a National Wildlife Habitat and every life form that uses my pond THRIVES. I allow my dog to drink from the pond with no worries. He has never shown any effect whatsoever. The fish, frogs, tadpoles, raccoons, squirrels, bunnies make their home here and all are welcome... except for the mosquitos. ;0) 03/18/2016 UPDATE: Not one season has gone by without using these marvellous little mosquito bits. They really do make a difference. It's the difference of wearing shorts and tank to water my flowers or a full length space suit drenched in citronella. I still might end the day with a bite. But that's far from calling this product a failure by any means. Patience and due diligence, dear reader. You must put forth effort to gain effective results. I have found they need to be sprinkled every 6-8 weeks maybe less, maybe more depending on the weather. Wet weather brings more puddles in the yard so I don't always catch them in time and let's face it, you'll never get every single mosquito unless you have a nuclear bomb handy. But last year I procrastinated and was late with my fist spring pond sprinkle. Yi yi yi! lesson learned! I'm not going to let that happen this year. I saw my fist one today already. We had a mild winter and there's no doubt they'll be out early and extra thick this year. Again I will mention, if you still see a few mosquitos, that's going to happen no matter what you do... unless you plan to back a dump truck of mosquito bits up to your pond. That would be expensive. Don't do that. Just be diligent, use common sense and toss out a few sprinkles every few weeks. I generally go thru 2 bottles each season (when not extremely wet) and only one bottle a few summers ago when it was so dry. If they still bother you then turn to your neighbor's yard and see if you see any possible standing water. My faithful dog is still for paws on the ground and lapping it up on warm summer days and he's as healthy as a horse. I added a few pet store goldfish a few summers ago and two of them are as big as my forearm. I have bullfrogs that can wake the dead with their evening rawp and I have the damn squirrels that chewed through my internet cable and caused me a bunch of headache. Raccoons are in my trash, the rabbits are teasing the dog with their speed he no longer possess and I have these crawfish digging weird holes on the pond banks. And I wouldn't have it any other way. 5/27/2020 UPDATE: For the first time since my first purchase of these miracle bits I was unable to sprinkle my pond with the bits in early spring this season. And I still haven't! I've never waited this long to sprinkle the bits... It's now late spring with heavy rainfall and my community is paying the price. Holy Hell what a difference life is without using the bits. Ten years using this product religiously and I've become quite spoiled. It's almost like an awakening of all the dead mosquitoes I'm responsible for is out for revenge seeking the blood of everything. Sorry neighbors. Save the bulldozer cuz I'm not vacationing this year...
