Does Repellio work on mosquitoes too or is that just marketing?

    I got a Repellio mainly for ants and roaches, but the box says mosquitoes as well. Has anyone actually noticed a difference with mosquitoes, or is it more of a “technically possible” kind of thing?

    Honestly, I’ve had mine plugged in for a few months now and I feel like I’ve noticed fewer mosquitoes buzzing around the living room at night. Could be coincidence, but I’m not complaining.

    I’d probably just treat the mosquito claim as a bonus rather than the main reason to buy it. If it helps a bit, great, but I wouldn’t count on it alone for a mosquito problem.

    I think the mosquito claim is probably one of those “technically possible in a lab” things they slap on the box to make it sound more impressive. I wouldn’t buy it expecting that to actually make a difference.

    I’ve definitely noticed fewer mosquitoes inside since I started using mine, but honestly I didn’t expect it to do much for them. It’s more of a nice little side effect than a main feature in my opinion.

    I only got mine a couple weeks ago, so I can’t say much about mosquitoes yet, but I did notice fewer gnats around the kitchen sink right away. That alone made me curious enough to keep it plugged in and see what happens over time.

    I’ve had mine for a while and I think it helps with mosquitoes a bit, but it’s not like I’m suddenly bug-free or anything. Seems to keep them from hanging around the living room as much, which is fine by me.

    I’ll be honest, I mostly got mine for ants too, but I did notice I’m not swatting at mosquitoes as much when I’m reading in bed at night. It’s not like they’re gone, but there’s definitely less buzzing around my ears. For something that just plugs in and hums away, I’ll take that as a win.

    Honestly, I think mosquitoes are a stretch. I notice way fewer ants since I plugged mine in, but I still get bit if I leave the door open too long. I’d say it’s mostly marketing.

    I think it depends on what you’re expecting. I’ve had mine running for a few months and I’m not sure if it’s doing much for mosquitoes specifically, but I also haven’t really tested it. I just leave it plugged in and hope for the best.

    I think a lot of people just assume it won’t work for mosquitoes because they’re flying, but I’ve seen a difference. It’s not like I can sit next to a swamp, but inside the house they seem less interested in buzzing around.

    I think people expect too much if they think one little plug-in is going to clear the whole yard of mosquitoes. It probably helps a bit in a small room, but I wouldn’t count on it for outdoor use or anything.

    I’ve wondered the same thing. I think mine might be taking the edge off a little, but I’m not totally sure if it’s the device or just the time of year. I’ve noticed fewer mosquitoes buzzing around the living room lamp at night, but I can’t say for certain it’s doing much.

    I mean, I figure if it’s on the box they probably tested it a bit. I got mine for spiders mostly, but I haven’t really noticed a mosquito problem since I plugged it in, so maybe it helps. Not like I’m doing a science experiment over here, but it seems fine.

    I think it’s legit for mosquitoes. I’ve got one in the kitchen and another in the living room, and I’ve noticed way fewer buzzing around at night compared to last summer. Not saying it’s a force field, but it definitely took the edge off for me.

    I’d say it’s probably doing something. I’ve had mine for a while and I definitely notice fewer mosquitoes buzzing around the living room at night compared to before. Not a massive difference, but it’s not nothing either.

    Good to know others have seen a bit of a difference too. I’ll just keep the thing plugged in and not overthink it.
