One GroundGuard covers 2,100 sq ft of yard vs Thermacell, candle, and spray small bubbles

Everything Else Only Protects a Bubble — Not a Backyard

Thermacell, sprays, candles — they all do the same thing: guard a tiny bubble a few feet wide. Thermacell covers about 225 sq ft. A candle, maybe 30. Spray only protects the skin it's on.

So the mosquitoes never actually leave. They wait at the edge of your little bubble — and the second you step out of it or turn it off, you're getting eaten alive again.

One GroundGuard covers 2,100 sq ft — your patio, your grill, your whole lawn. And unlike a spray or a Thermacell that just repels them for a while, it's the only one that actually kills the mosquitoes — clearing the entire yard instead of guarding a corner. Not a bubble. The whole yard.

"By far the best mosquito control we've owned. One handled the patio so well I ordered three more to cover the rest of our two acres."— Jake R., verified buyer
Where mosquitoes actually fly vs. where your old zapper hangs

Your Old Zapper Caught Moths — Not Mosquitoes.

You've checked the old hanging zapper in the morning, expecting a pile of dead mosquitoes. Instead? A tray full of moths. And your ankles are still covered in bites. So you figured zappers just don't work on mosquitoes.

And you're right — they don't. But not for the reason you think. Mosquitoes are weak flyers — barely 1 mph, grounded by the slightest breeze — so they hunt low, within two feet of the ground. And it's your feet they're after: they target the bacteria living down there, and the scent is like catnip to them. That's why most of your bites land on your legs and ankles.

So that zapper hanging six feet up was really just a moth trap, while GroundGuard stands right in the mosquito flight path — baited with an octenol lure that gives off the scent they're hunting for. The bugs that used to feast on you fly straight into it instead.

"Honestly, I figured it'd be another waste of money — I've tried them all. It's the first thing that's actually worked on the mosquitoes."— Latisha R., verified buyer

Chemical spray on your skin vs. GroundGuard clearing the yard

Sprays Hide You From the Problem. This Solves It.

Sure, it works. But think about what's actually in that can: a chemical strong enough to dissolve plastic, nylon, even nail polish — and 5–15% of what you spray on absorbs straight through your skin into your bloodstream. If it eats through a pair of sunglasses, why are you putting it on your skin?

GroundGuard isn't something you wear — it solves the whole problem for you, without leaving you smelling like a chemical plant or scrubbing it off in the shower. It kills the mosquitoes out in the yard, night after night, on its own. You stop hiding from the bugs, because there's nothing left to hide from.

"I used to drown myself in Off — the smell alone almost made me sick. Haven't touched the stuff since."— Dana R., verified buyer

Stake It In and Forget It's Even There.

Everything else is just another box to check before you can enjoy your own backyard — reapplying spray, buying refills, charging batteries. GroundGuard does none of that. Push it into the ground, and let it go to work.

It charges by day, and a sensor switches it on at dusk. A stretch of cloudy days can't even stop it — it banks charge when the sun's out, and the included USB-C cable covers any gray week. Everything else costs you month after month — this one's $0 a year.

"So far it works great — the battery stays charged, and it comes on from dusk to daylight all on its own."— Robert J., verified buyer
Mosquitoes, gnats, no-see-ums, flies, wasps and moths — all caught

It Doesn't Just Kill Mosquitoes.

It's the gnats and no-see-ums clouding your face at dusk, the flies on your food, the wasp that clears the table. Mosquitoes just take the blame — they're only part of the swarm.

GroundGuard clears your yard. The mosquitoes get caught down low where they fly; the gnats, flies, and moths chase the UV straight into the grid. So you're not just down a few mosquitoes — you get your evenings back.

Safe for the Kids, the Dog, and Even the Bees.

You'd think anything that zaps bugs all night would wipe out the bees right along with them. It doesn't — and that's the clever part. GroundGuard only runs from dusk to dawn, so by the time the pollinators are out working in the sun, it's already switched off.

As for the kids and the dog — the grid sits behind a steel cage with gaps too narrow for a finger or a paw to reach.

"First thing that's actually worked"

Tried the sprays, the candles, even a hanging zapper — nothing touched the mosquitoes. Staked this in and within a few nights we could finally sit out back again.

"No more getting chased indoors"

The mosquitoes used to run us inside by 7pm. Now we eat dinner on the patio every night and nobody comes in covered in bites.

Rhonda M. ✓ Verified Customer

"Bought three more for our acreage"

By far the best mosquito control we've owned. One handled the patio so well I ordered three more to cover the rest of our two acres.

Jake R. ✓ Verified Customer

"Set it and forget it"

No refills, nothing to plug in, no spraying myself down before I garden. The sun charges it and it just runs on its own every night.

Susan P. ✓ Verified Customer

"Skeptical at first — glad I tried it"

Figured it'd be another gimmick that didn't work. It's not. The gnats and no-see-ums are gone too, not just the mosquitoes.

"Safe around the grandkids and the dog"

It runs behind that metal cage all night and shuts off during the day, so I never worry about the kids or the dog getting near it.

Questions Homeowners Ask

Does it actually kill mosquitoes? Be honest.

Yes — and here's the honest reason it works when hanging zappers don't. Mosquitoes are weak flyers that hunt low, in the first foot or two off the ground, homing in on the bacteria on your feet and ankles. A zapper six feet up sits above that lane and just catches moths. GroundGuard stakes in low, right where mosquitoes actually fly, and it's baited with an octenol lure that mimics the scent they home in on — so they're drawn to it instead of you. Stake it in tonight and you'll feel the difference in the bites within a few evenings.

How much area does one cover?

One unit covers up to 2,100 sq ft. For bigger yards, most people run two or three to blanket the whole space (Buy 2 covers ~4,200 sq ft, Buy 3 ~6,300).

What bugs does it kill?

Mosquitoes, gnats and no-see-ums, flies, moths, and wasps — the whole flying-insect bundle that ruins an evening outside, not just one bug.

Does it work during the day too?

It runs automatically from dusk to dawn, when biting bugs are active. It's off during the day — which is also why it doesn't touch daytime pollinators like bees.

My area isn't always sunny — can I rely on the solar panel?

The panel banks charge on sunny days, and the included USB-C cable tops it off during a gray stretch. It's built to live outside through rain and storms.

I have a large backyard — will it actually make a dent?

One covers 2,100 sq ft; 83% of customers add a second unit to cover more of their yard. Stake them where the bugs gather — near standing water, garden beds, the tree line — and let them run every night.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Send it back within 60 days for a full refund. No restocking games. The risk is on us.
