The Terminix ALLCLEAR Lantern is proven effective to quickly and safely repel more than 95 percent of biting mosquitos from areas up to 300 square feet [1], (about the size of an average deck or patio).  It's the perfect protection for dining al fresco, partying poolside, fishing, camping, boating, and more. Its attractive design enhances the look of any outdoor space while its proven technology and botanical lemongrass formula work to quickly, safely, and naturally repel mosquitoes for hours. And, this is great news for outdoor lovers who want natural control since according to a recent national consumer survey nearly 80 percent of people queried wanted an all-natural mosquito repellent.[2]

The Terminix ALLCLEAR Lantern works by automatically misting an all-natural solution of Geraniol, a botanical extract of the lemongrass plant, long known for its effective insect repelling power.  The Naturals Refill formula is safe to use around children, pets, and food; is non-toxic; contains no synthetic chemicals or residues, and is safe for the environment too.

"With the Terminix ALLCLEAR Mosquito Lantern, it's about safety.  I don't have to use messy, sticky sprays on my children any more," states Amanda M. from Jacksonville, Florida.  "And it's very easy to use.  With the touch of a button, you can reclaim your outdoor living space."

Not only does the Lantern deliver the ultimate in mosquito protection, it's also the best looking solution available today. For those who pride themselves on their beautiful outdoor spaces, the Lantern makes a striking addition to any home. With an attractive, weather resistant, antique bronzed finish and optional soft glow lights, it is perfect for decks, patios, poolside, tabletop – anywhere friends, family (even those furry, four-legged members), might be spending time together outdoors.
