How to use it

Snap. Walk. Done.

01

Snap

Thread the bottle onto any standard garden hose. Open the valve. No mixing, no measuring.

02

Walk

Walk at a normal pace with a slow, sweeping side-to-side motion, slightly overlapping each pass. One 32 oz bottle covers up to 5,000 sq ft in about 10 minutes.

03

Done

That's it. Let it dry and the yard is open again. Reapply every 2 to 4 weeks in bug season.

Why Families Switch

Get your yard back.

Made for family spaces: a family and their golden retriever playing on the lawn at golden hour

Made for the yard your kids and dog play in.

Yard Guard's actives are seven plant oils: soybean, garlic, peppermint, cinnamon, white pepper, rosemary and thyme. There are no synthetic pesticides, every ingredient is on the label, and it's EPA 25(b) exempt. No rinsing needed.

The 32 oz Concentrate beside the open Brightcide System

Step up to autopilot.

Like the results but not the chore? The Brightcide System's smart mister lays down a plant-powered bug barrier along your fence line every evening, on autopilot. It runs on Mosquito Yard Spray · 32 oz Concentrate, with the same actives as this bottle. Keep Yard Guard on hand to spray the worst spots by hand while the System goes in.

Spraying Yard Guard along the edge of the yard

One bottle. 5,000 sq ft. 10 minutes. Done.

Thread the bottle onto any garden hose and walk at a normal pace. The built-in sprayer auto-doses as water flows through, so there's nothing to pre-mix or measure. Reapply every 2 to 4 weeks in bug season.

Attaching Yard Guard to a hose bib

Kills on contact from the very first application.

Bugs keep growing resistant to the nerve toxins in synthetic sprays. Yard Guard's plant-powered actives kill mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and ants on contact and keep new ones away. Same actives that run the Brightcide System, in a hose-end bottle.

Why It's Different

Plant-Powered. Nothing Hidden.

Every ingredient is on the label: seven plant oils, water and a food-grade preservative. No synthetic pesticides. EPA 25(b) exempt and made in the USA.

EXOBURST Formula

Bugs keep growing resistant to the nerve toxins in synthetic sprays. EXOBURST is our proprietary plant-powered formula, developed and lab-tested with Applied Science Labs, that kills on contact and keeps new ones away.

EPA 25(b) Exempt

Plant-based actives only: soybean, garlic, peppermint, cinnamon, white pepper, rosemary and thyme oils.

Spray in the Evening

Evening is best. Bees have gone home for the day and mosquitoes are just waking up.

Made for Family Spaces

No rinsing and nothing to fence off. Let it dry, and the yard is your family's again.

Application Schedule

The full walk-through, from first snap to season long.

1. Check the weather+
Apply on a dry, calm day. Skip it if rain is due within 4 hours, so the spray has time to dry.
2. Thread the bottle onto your hose+
Standard ¾" garden hose fitting. The sprayer head auto-doses as water flows through, so you don't need to pre-mix anything.
3. Walk the edge of your yard+
Focus on the yard edges, tall grass, shady spots, under decks, and around pet zones. One 32 oz bottle covers up to 5,000 sq ft.
4. Hit the hot spots+
Give mosquito and tick hot spots a second pass: leaf litter, dense shrubs, standing water areas, the area your dog lies in.
5. Reapply every 2 to 4 weeks+
Active bug season? Every 2 weeks. Shoulder seasons or light pressure? Every 4 weeks. The auto-refill plan lands a fresh bottle before you run out.

Questions, Answered

Everything you wanted to ask before you buy.

Straight answers about spraying, coverage and the refill plan.

When's the best time to spray?+
Early morning or evening, when it's under about 90°F and the air is calm. Evening is ideal: bees are done for the day and mosquitoes are just waking up. Skip windy days so the spray lands where you aim it.
What's the best technique?+
Walk at a normal pace and use a slow, sweeping side-to-side motion, slightly overlapping each pass. Focus on shady spots, shrubs, fence lines, and anywhere the grass meets a border. That's where bugs live.
Can I spray near a pond, pool, or fountain?+
Treat the lawn and plantings around water features, but don't spray directly into the water. For pools, spray the surrounding deck edges and let everything dry before splashing resumes.
My yard is bigger than 5,000 sq ft. What should I buy?+
Grab a second bottle, or step up to the Brightcide System. Its smart mister lays down a plant-powered bug barrier along your fence line every evening, on autopilot.
How much yard does one 32 oz bottle cover?+
Up to 5,000 sq ft per bottle. A standard 1/8-acre yard will use most of a bottle in one application. Bigger yards or dense shrub coverage use more.
How often should I reapply?+
Every 2 weeks when bugs are at their worst, every 4 weeks the rest of the season. The Auto-Refill plan matches this schedule, so a fresh bottle lands before you run out.
Can I use it around my kids and pets?+
Yes, used as the label directs. Let treated areas dry before play. The actives are seven plant oils (soybean, garlic, peppermint, cinnamon, white pepper, rosemary and thyme), there are no synthetic pesticides, and every ingredient is on the label. Yard Guard is EPA 25(b) exempt. We recommend spraying in the evening, after bees have gone home for the day.
Does it actually work on ticks?+
Yes. Ticks wait in tall-grass edges and yard borders, and Yard Guard kills them on contact where you spray. Reapply every 2 to 4 weeks in tick season, and the Auto-Refill plan ships a fresh bottle before you run out.
Does it work on ants near the house?+
Yes. It kills and repels ants outside, along trails by the house, in mulch beds and in the gaps where they hide. If they're already inside, Indoor Pest Control, our spray for inside the house, is coming soon.
Do I need to rinse or wait before the kids and dog go back out?+
No rinsing. Let treated areas dry, then the kids and dog can head back out. Every ingredient is on the label, and there are no synthetic pesticides.
Can I skip, pause, or cancel the refill plan?+
Any time, no penalty. Log into your account and change the cadence, skip a shipment, pause it, or cancel outright. We don't do phone-call-only cancellations.
What if it doesn't work on my yard?+
You're covered by our 60-day happiness guarantee. Spray it for 60 full days. If your yard isn't noticeably freer of mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and ants, email us and we'll refund you. Keep the bottle.
Will it kill my grass or hurt my garden?+
No. Used as directed, it's fine on lawn, mulch, shrubs, and garden edges. Spray in the evening after bees have gone home, and avoid spraying directly on flowering plants during active pollinator hours.

Every Brightcide purchase is a vote to take synthetic pesticides out of family life.
