Users call this $4 contraption the ‘best solution’ for beating bugs

You know what they say: keep the mosquitoes at bay, and live life your way.

The warmer weather means brighter, longer days spent relaxing in the backyard, but for New Yorkers, especially, it also means peak pest season is on the way. Mosquito season typically runs from April to October, and let’s be honest — nobody wants those little pests buzzing and biting.

Fortunately, some tools can help keep your backyard mostly mosquito-free.

The OFF! Backyard Mosquito Coil Refills are among the most popular options on Amazon, designed for use in semi-confined outdoor areas such as porches, patios and other backyard spaces.

Each mosquito coil is said to provide up to four hours of protection and can help cover a 10-by-10-foot area. And, they’re not too expensive, either. A single pack retails for just under $5, and every pack comes with a tray and protective container.

Reviewers admit that the “Country Fresh” scent is fairly strong — and potentially unpleasant — but according to users, it’s also quite effective.

“We’ve used these for over three decades at our camp in the Maine woods, and nothing else does the trick as well!” one reviewer boasted.

OFF! coils come in several pack sizes, with a six-pack of 12 priced at just $59 — offering plenty of burn time to carry you through the thick of mosquito season.

“We’ve added other devices through the years, but we always make certain to have these on hand. I know they work, without question, as it’s immediately evident the moment they burn out, and it’s time for a new one!”
