Both contain the same active formulation. The Ready-to-Use version is pre-mixed, while concentrates should be diluted with water before application.
Is the 1-gallon concentrate stronger than the 32 oz concentrate?
No. The formulation is the same. The difference is simply the amount of product supplied.
Can I refill my Ready-to-Use bottle?
Yes. The Ready-to-Use sprayer can be refilled using the concentrate according to the label directions.
Safety
Can I use Flock Free Mosquito Spray around children?

Can I use it around dogs and cats?
It can be used around dogs, when used as directed. You should be more careful with using it around cats because cats are more sensitive to essential oils – avoid spraying around food and water bowls and avoid spraying places that cats may lick. At the same time, both dogs and cats may return to treated areas after the sprayed solution has dried.
What about birds?
When used according to the label directions, Flock Free Mosquito Spray may be used around birds.
Is it okay to use it around fish and ponds?
Yes. Flock Free Mosquito Spray may be used around ponds and other water features according to the product directions.
Can it be used in areas visited by pollinators?
Yes. Once the treated surfaces have dried, the product may be used around pollinators as directed.

Can I spray fruit trees?
Yes. If you spray on growing fruits, wash them well before eating to avoid unpleasant taste.

Yes. When used as directed, Flock Free Mosquito Spray is intended for application around lawns, shrubs, trees, flower beds, and landscaping.

Can I spray my patio?
Yes. Patios, decks, outdoor seating areas, and surrounding landscaping are common application areas.
Can I spray around my pool?
Yes. Apply around the landscaping and surrounding mosquito resting areas according to the label directions.
Can I spray before a backyard party?
Yes. Applying before outdoor activities can help reduce mosquito activity in treated areas. Just make sure that your guests are okay with the herbal scent of the spray or let the spray dry before your guests arrive.
When is the best time to spray?
Early morning or late afternoon are generally the best times to apply, especially during active mosquito season.
What happens if it rains?
Small rain actually helps because it reactivates the active ingredients of the spray. Heavy rainfall may wash the residue away reducing the effectiveness of any outdoor treatment and may require reapplication.
How often should I apply it?
Once per 3-4 weeks (2 weeks for extremely heavy mosquito infestation). Application frequency depends on mosquito pressure and weather conditions.
Effectiveness
Will it eliminate all mosquitoes?
No outdoor mosquito control product can completely eliminate mosquitoes. Flock Free Mosquito Spray is intended to help significantly reduce mosquito activity and populations over time. It was designed for long-term protection rather than instant results.
How quickly does it start working?
It depends on many factors, such as specifics of your property, presence of standing water, size of existing mosquito population, weather, etc. In many cases, we see significant decrease in mosquito activity within 1-3 days, but sometimes, it requires multiple applications during several months.
Will one application last all season?
No. Seasonal mosquito control requires repeated applications every 3-4 weeks because new mosquitoes continually emerge and migrate into treated areas.

Does it work on all mosquito species?
Flock Free Mosquito Spray is intended for mosquito control generally and is not limited to a single mosquito species.
Will it work if my neighbors don’t treat their property?
Yes, although mosquitoes can continue migrating from nearby untreated properties. Treating your own property consistently provides the best results and shields your property from migrating populations.
Other Pests
Does Flock Free Mosquito Spray repel ticks?
Yes. Flock Free Mosquito Spray is also formulated to repel ticks. But ticks are much stronger than mosquitoes and may require higher concentrations of the solution and more frequent applications.
Does it repel flies, ants, spiders, or wasps?
Flock Free Mosquito is intended specifically for mosquito control and tick repellency. Although some of our customers reported its work on flies, bugs, and other insects, it should not be relied upon for controlling other insects.
Purchasing
Which size offers the best value?
The concentrates generally provide the lowest cost per treated area, making them the most economical choice for larger properties.
How long will one bottle last?
That depends on the product size, the area being treated, and how frequently you apply it.
