Wanted to let you know before you get started talking about this mister that this is the UPDATED model. This newer model plugs into the wall rather than using batteries. This change was made based on feedback from customers.
Note that you’re also getting the Naturals Concentrate Repellent with the mister.
The active ingredient in the concentrate spray included with this mister is geraniol, which has consistently proven ineffective for driving off most mosquitos. When it does work, it doesn’t work for long, 30 to 90 minutes. Good news: it’s a natural plant oil. Bad news: for some people, it’s an irritant and it’s not as effective as various chemical means, notably picaridin.
If you can find a concentrate whose active ingredient is at least 20% picaridin, then I’d say buy this product. If you can’t, don’t.
Not sue about the Terminex ingredients, may be the same, but we have had very good results with using Bug Slug with this type sprayer; I am now exceeding my knowledge, but have been told it contains atomizer ingredient that breaks down the oils into nano sized droplets that suffocate the little critters. Not sure about the residual, we use it about 2 hours before bon fire for pest free evening at weekend spot
