Overview
Pressing the valve releases an aerosol mist that kills and repels outdoor pests in the tight spots where they hide. It is made for lawns, turf and ornamental vegetation in the backyard.
A single press-and-release can that covers a stated area makes it simple to treat a yard. The seller says it controls ornamental garden pests for a period after application. The limitation is that it is a chemical aerosol for outdoor use only, and the listing points to the label for the full list and rules.
Who it's for
A homeowner dealing with mosquitoes, gnats and flies around a lawn or landscaped area gets a simple aerosol to apply. Reading the label is essential for the complete pest list and use directions. Anyone who needs indoor control should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Simple press valve use
- Stated area per can
- Targets mosquitoes, gnats and flies
- Usable on lawns, turf and ornamentals
- Outdoor use only

Performance notes
Pressing the valve sprays a fine mist, which both kills and repels the listed pests. Coverage depends on the can size, which is stated for one bottle, and the effect on ornamentals lasts for the period given in the seller copy. Apply according to the label.
