S C JOHNSON WAX 71848 Mosquito Backyard,32-Ounce

**** The S C Johnson Wax Mosquito Backyard spray has received a mixed reception from customers, highlighting both its effectiveness and significant design flaws. Many users have praised its insect-repelling capabilities, particularly in transforming their outdoor spaces into more enjoyable environments free from the annoyance of mosquitoes. Reviews emphasize the product's ability to create a mosquito-free zone for weeks, allowing families to enjoy barbecues and outdoor events without Constantly swatting at insects. Some users even described the experience as “miraculous” and appreciated being able to enjoy their backyards again, bolstered by the product’s ability to keep mosquitoes at bay for a time. However, the feedback isn't unanimously positive. A common concern is the spray's applicator system, specifically the hose connector, which has been reported to frequently pop off during use, necessitating inconvenient shut-offs and manual reconnections. Customers have expressed disappointment that this critical design flaw detracted from their overall experience, with many calling it a “terrible design” that could be improved by using sturdier materials. Additionally, while some found the spray effective for several weeks, others reported that its mosquito-repelling effects diminished noticeably after just a short time, which led to frustration, particularly when hosting gatherings. There is also some apprehension among users who prefer to avoid chemical treatments, albeit they often concede the necessity when combatting a particularly aggressive mosquito population. The varied effectiveness and the lack of clarity regarding the remaining amount of product in the bottle have furthered this concern. Thus, while the S C Johnson Wax Mosquito spray has provided relief for many, it hasn't been without its challenges and criticisms, particularly around usability and longevity of effect. **
