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.

We 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
I hate the smell of any repellent on my skin so this would let us enjoy our new deck
Tarah says
We 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
I would set it up in the backyard. Ive been noticing mass amounts of mosquitos lately when ive been out there
chris arnott says
I hate trying to sit outside when the mosquitos are really bad. This would be a great help.

The 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
we 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
We 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!

cheryl hodgkins says
A 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.

We 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.
