• Allow 10 to 30 minutes, depending upon the size of
the area, for product to take effect.

• This product works best in outdoor areas where there
is minimal air movement, such as patios, yards and
outdoor campsites.

• Use one mosquito repeller for 225 square feet or 15
feet in diameter. Use additional mosquito repellers to
cover a larger area.

• Original mats provide up to 4 hours mosquito
repellency per mat.

• Mats turn from pale blue to white when mosquito
repellent has been depleted and needs to be
replaced.

• Some visible vapor will appear during use; this is
normal.
