It’s a familiar scene: You step outside to enjoy the evening air, and within minutes, the swatting begins. Mosquitoes are widely considered the deadliest animal on Earth because of the viruses they can transmit, but for most of us, they are the barrier between enjoying our yard and staying trapped indoors.

For years, trying to protect your yard from mosquitoes has felt like a compromise. Traditional methods often provide only temporary relief or require frequent maintenance, leaving you to manage the problem rather than truly solving it at the source.

We know you want to protect your family space, but you also want to be respectful of the outdoors. You shouldn't have to choose between effective control and a solution you feel good about using. That’s why we introduced an innovative solution to help you reclaim your yard from mosquitoes. With Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent, we’re not repelling mosquitoes. We’re using technology also used by the pros to reduce mosquito populations at the source.

The Responsible Choice: What Isn’t There

Here is what you won’t find in this system:

• No Sprays: A precision-based design that keeps the formula contained inside the station.
• No Flames: Ditch the smoke and fire hazards.
• No Batteries: No cords, no charging, no electronic waste.

Instead, we rely on a dual-action formula that turns the mosquito’s biology against itself.



Powered by Natural Processes and Science

We’ve paired a naturally-occurring fungus (Beauveria bassiana strain GHA) with Pyriproxyfen, an ingredient commonly found in pet flea control products. It’s a dual-action system:

• Beauveria bassiana strain GHA works to kill adult Aedes and Culex mosquito species within 9 days.
• Pyriproxyfen is carried by the contaminated mosquitoes to breeding sites in and around the station and prevents larvae from developing into adults.

It’s a powerful combination that targets mosquitoes specifically while being a responsible choice for your backyard. Plus, the station is designed to attract mosquitoes, not bees, so you can protect your space without disrupting essential pollinators.

The Science of the Spread

Traditional control methods, like fogs and sprays, typically work by killing adult mosquitoes as they fly or rest in the foliage of your plants. While effective in the moment, these techniques often have limitations—they don’t target the larvae hidden in breeding sites, and the product can be washed away by rain.

We’re taking a different approach that goes deeper than just surface-level control. We let the mosquito do the work for you, delivering a formula designed specifically to control the common Aedes and Culex species.

Here is how the 4-step cycle works to collapse the population:

1. Attract: Mosquitoes are drawn to the station, which mimics the breeding sites they instinctively look for.
2. Contaminate: They enter the station and pick up our unique dual-action formula.
3. Spread: Instead of dying quickly, the mosquito flies away, carrying the solution to other breeding sites nearby.
4. Control: The cycle is broken. The formula kills the adult mosquito within 9 days and prevents future generations from developing. Since a single female can lay hundreds of eggs, stopping one adult female could potentially prevent millions of mosquitoes from ever emerging.

Over time, this process significantly reduces the mosquito population in your yard, giving you long-term relief rather than a temporary fix.

Protection and Peace of Mind

We know that your yard is a shared space. It’s where your kids play tag and your dog naps in the sun. Each Home Defense Mosquito Kill & Prevent station creates a 4,300 sq. ft. zone of protection. It can be applied in areas used by people and pets when used as directed.

It’s designed to be low-maintenance, requiring just a simple refill once a month to keep the protection going all season long. Since both active ingredients specifically target insects, you can strike that perfect balance: tough on the problem, but respectful of the place you call home. It’s time to stop swatting and start enjoying your outdoor space again. Break the cycle this season with Ortho.
