The warmer months are finally here, and while we love outdoor living, often times we are unable to enjoy it as much because of pesky mosquitoes. I’m one of those kind of people that seem to attract mosquitos, hence I am the one that’s always covered in bites.
We are a family that camps a lot during the summer months, and the mosquitos out camping are horrid! We have tried so many ways to combat mosquitoes, from the zappers to bug sprays and nothing seems to be the saviour that I’d like them to be.
Green Strike Mosquito Preventer
In 2004/2005 we underwent a West Nile virus scare here in Ontario. At that time, researchers began to run with the idea of creating a holistic, non-toxic artificial pond for mosquitoes to lay their eggs in. They were determined to reduce the 2nd generation of mosquitoes, not just kill the 1st.
Just 1 mosquito can quickly multiply up to 30,000 mosquitoes in 21 days!! GreenStrike’s Mosquito Preventer STOPS mosquito population growth BEFORE it starts. It lures in the female mosquitoes using patented, non-toxic lures and replicates a natural pond where females love to lay their eggs. They are drawn into the unit where they lay their eggs and leave behind a natural pheromone, which signals to other mosquitoes that it’s a prime location for egg-laying.
After a few days, the Mosquito Preventer flushes the eggs through a filter, trapping the eggs before they have a chance to hatch. Best of all, it targets the types of mosquitoes that can carry West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever and Chikungunya Virus.
Thorough in-field studies prove that the Mosquito Preventer destroys approximately 20,000 eggs in 30 days resulting in approximately a 70% reduction of mosquito populations.
What’s different about GreenStrike’s Mosquito Preventer? It eliminates mosquitoes at the source! Other methods attempt to trap or catch the millions of mosquitoes that can be in your backyard but the Mosquito Preventer eliminates the hundreds of eggs laid by each of those mosquitoes.
GreenStrike’s Mosquito Preventer is available to purchase exclusively at Home Hardware, you can also keep up with them on Twitter or Facebook.

Laurie P says
06/05/2015 at 6:14 amAfter all the bites we’ve already got this early in the season…this would be sweet relief!
Sheryl P says
06/05/2015 at 6:16 amWe have a family cottage in Northern NB where we spend a few weeks each summer… the mosquitoes are big enough to carry you away! This would make sitting outside and visiting with family so much more enjoyable and bearable!
LILLIAN BROWN says
06/05/2015 at 6:16 amI hate the smell of any repellent on my skin so this would let us enjoy our new deck
Tarah says
06/05/2015 at 6:23 amWe live in a fully wooded area, so the mosquitos are out in full force around 7. I hate having to drag the kids inside because I don’t want them to be bitten or have to spray them down with gross bug spray. This would be wonderful & much appreciated!
JaimeeM says
06/05/2015 at 6:24 amI would set it up in the backyard. Ive been noticing mass amounts of mosquitos lately when ive been out there
chris arnott says
06/05/2015 at 6:32 amI hate trying to sit outside when the mosquitos are really bad. This would be a great help.
Kirsten G. says
06/05/2015 at 6:33 amThe mosquitos are really bad this year! We can barely go out to our patio without bug spray on. The GreenStrike Mosquito Preventer would help make our backyard a more enjoyable place to be!
Lisa M says
06/05/2015 at 6:44 amwe rarely sit outside because of the crazy amount of mosquitoes….
I can’t be outside in the sun so evening and night time if the only ‘safe’ time to be out but because of the mosquitoes we don’t go out for more than a couple mins, this would be awesome!
Corry L. says
06/05/2015 at 6:46 amWe are currently renovating an RV that we purchased and are planning on doing a lot of camping this summer. We know the mosquitos are going to be really bad already because they are relentlessly bothering us while we work. It would sure make camping more enjoyable with this device!
Natasha says
06/05/2015 at 6:48 amLiving on the Prairies this would be great
Linda A Cassidy says
06/05/2015 at 6:52 amI attract mosquitos so in the early evening when they come out I head back into the house instead of sitting around the firepit enjoying the friends and family that are over,
Carol Denny says
06/05/2015 at 6:55 amThe bugs are really bad because we live near the river so this would help a lot
christel says
06/05/2015 at 6:57 amI don’t get bitten by bugs, but it would sure help the rest of my family and we could stay outside later at night!
Susan Hanley says
06/05/2015 at 7:06 amWe spend a lot of time in our back yard and mosquitoes are a constant nuisance. This would be a preferable remedy over sprays.
Isabel Topps says
06/05/2015 at 7:21 amI would give it to my Dad, he’s 93 and still puts in a garden and fixes chainsaws, lawnmowers, etc. It would be great for him to not be bothered by mosquitoes when he’s outside so much
Carol M says
06/05/2015 at 7:31 amPlenty of mosquitoes here and in a no fog zone, so this would be great for the backyard.
Florence C says
06/05/2015 at 7:34 amMosquito Preventer would be perfect for when out in the garden to have it near when working on the little veggie patch and sitting outside in the evening.
Kimberly says
06/05/2015 at 7:38 amI have never heard of this before!! I will now dream of it! Mosquitos LOVE me :'(
Phyllis G. says
06/05/2015 at 7:40 amI like the idea of a mosquito reducer that does not use chemicals. My family appreciates this feature of The GreenStrike Mosquito Preventer the most
josephine evans says
06/05/2015 at 7:46 amI have eczema and find that the spray repellent sometimes stings my skin. so this would help. I would have this in my backyard where the Mosquitos are vicious! Thanks for the chance!
cheryl hodgkins says
06/05/2015 at 7:48 amA couple of my granddaughters get alot of mosquito bites during the summer months..for some reason, they attract them big time and their entire bodies are just covered in bites. This would be wonderful to have. They might actually be able to enjoy a bonfire and other activities if we had a Green Strike Mosquito Preventer
Leah says
06/05/2015 at 8:00 amThis would be great as we don’t have any screened in options in our backyard and the bugs can get nasty! This would help us enjoy more time outdoors, especially in the early evening when they mosquitoes get worse!
Judy Cowan says
06/05/2015 at 8:00 amWe camp all summer long so it would really help us. Right now the mosquito’s are terrible. We have tried zappers, candles, coils etc and none of them seem to help. Right now they can chase us inside the trailer at night they are so bad.
Taylor Hawkins says
06/05/2015 at 8:02 amIt would be great to take camping 🙂
louise says
06/05/2015 at 8:02 amIm thinking this machine would help us, we just built and huge gazbo/outdoor kitchen and we spend a lot of time out there

Cheryl Imayoshi says

Suzanne G says
06/05/2015 at 8:50 amThis would be great on our deck so when we are sitting around with friends and family we will not be eaten by mosquitos. It would make our summer months much more enjoyable.

Anna Johnson says
06/05/2015 at 9:07 amGreenStrike Mosquito Preventer would change everything! My family likes to eat and play outside, but I stay inside as I don’t like mosquitoes. It’s bad enough the ones that get inside! The more mosquitoes, the harder it is for my boys to want to go outside. 🙁
ginette4 says
06/05/2015 at 9:13 amGoing to my Mom and Dad you cannot walk in the grass..doesn’t matter what time of day it is we have to sit on the concrete slab away from the lawn..this would be great to finally be able to sit together on the grass and let the children play lawn games

melissa W says
06/05/2015 at 10:10 amI live in a swampy area, the mosquitoes make it impossible to enjoy the outdoors. The GreenStrike would enable us go back outside!

06/05/2015 at 10:15 amI seem to be a mosquito magnet so this would help so much out on the deck to keep the pesky things away from us!
Debbie Bashford says
06/05/2015 at 10:17 amwe live a very rural area near the water, we just do not go outside from the early evening until the sun is up the next morning without protection of thick clothes and mosquito net hat unless covered in deep woods Off this would allow us to enjoy our yard!

06/19/2015 at 4:09 pmwe live out in the country surrounded by farmers fields and once the evening hits the mosquitos are insane so we miss being able to have meals on the deck or even just enjoying the sunset. So this would help to enjoy the outdoors for us.
