We spend a lot of time out on our deck. It’s our ‘getaway’. The one thing that annoys me while sitting outside, is bugs. I think I attract any and all types of bugs. Oh, here’s Tanya – ‘let’s go bite her’. 
I am very excited to share with you the OFF!® PowerPad® Lamp and Lantern. I love this! No more spraying yourself down with spray, just light the lamp and enjoy your bite-free time!
- The OFF!® PowerPad® Lamp and Lantern provide powerful mosquito protection with a pleasant, warm glow for outdoor parties. The products repel mosquitoes, including those that may carry the West Nile Virus. Heat-activated pads deter mosquitoes from an area up to 225 square feet, about the size of an average deck or patio.
We used to use citronella buckets, but they seemed to attract even more bugs, and not to mention they are bulky and not the cutest things in the world. I love the OFF!® PowerPad® Lamp and Lantern because it blends in with our décor, it is affordable and the 225 square feet coverage is awesome! How does it work? You light the candle inside the adorable lantern and the heat from the flame flares triggers the Off pad that is on top of the lantern.
Do I like it? Yes I do! In fact, I love it! I have already recommended it to friends locally that have cook outs. Great product and it won’t break the bank either. Each runs around $9.99.
This post was written for Family Review Network as part of a program by SC Johnson, who also supplied the product for review and giveaway.

I do not enjoy camping out, but I do love food prepared on the grill. We haven’t been doing as much grilling as we would like due to the huge mosquitoes. I have also altered plantings in the yard because I do not enjoy getting eaten alive to tend to my usual plants. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

The last time we cooked out was fixing MREs on the back porch after hurricane Ivan. It would be nice to have a PowerOff Lantern, for just such an emergency, because with all the water the storm dumped on the area, the skeeters were out in force!
[Reply]
there are sooo many mosquitoes here we can’t even go outside!
[Reply]
To protect your campsite, set up an OFF! PowerPad Lamp or Lantern to protect areas up to 15 ft. by 15 ft. We camp alot so it would be very useful for us!

This would be great to keep away all the bugs.

I don’t like to cook out because I don’t like the bugs. This could make me like it.

The bugs are horrendous where we live and we love camping out so this would be perfect!
[Reply]
My hubby is allergic to mosquito and hates to go out in the evening. Bug spray is not enough to get him to venture out. Maybe these would help!
[Reply]
We have lots of these bugs,so this would be great for outback on our deck for cookouts

I would love to try this. This would help with my cookouts because for some reason, mosquitos seem to love me. If I even go outside for 5 minutes in the evenings I get bit 15 or more times.
[Reply]
With the off lamp my whole family will be able to eat smores around the campfire without faving to worry about being bitten especially my sister and her son. Bugs just love them.
[Reply]
This would be great for my back porch when we eat dinner!
[Reply]
This would be great for my backyard. It’s mosquito time

I would love to try this OFF lamp to see if it would help.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

We camp a lot and this would be awesome to have. No more citronella candles.
[Reply]
Our family all hates putting on the bug spray but it is unbearable without it. This product would help us out so much when we have outdoor gatherings or go camping!
[Reply]
This would be great relief for the kids on summer nights
[Reply]
I love anything that keeps bugs away, that is for sure. I hate having to spray anything on me or the little ones because of the chemicals. This would be awesome to have to keep bugs away safely!

We’d use this on our patio, we’re very close to a mountain and get a lot of bugs

If we didn’t have to worry about mosquitoes we would spend much more time and much more enjoyable/stress free/itch free time outdoors – camping and enjoying nature!
[Reply]
I blogged about this, but it’s friends only so I have no proof. Poo.
However, I need to go buy one of these tomorrow, not for camping, but for my porch. I live in Florida and I am a smoker and I only smoke outdoors, and I am CONSTANTLY covered in mosquito bites.
poor me.
[Reply]
I think having one of these would be a great help when it comes time for those picnic, and parties outside. Would love to win this, thanks for the opportunity!

I have high hopes the Off Powerpad lamp will be key to us spending more time on the back patio enjoying a glass of wine like we would like to. Unfortunately with out the Power Pad, our romantic evenings only lasts for a few minutes before one of us runs back in to the house flailing and screaming. Heres hoping Off will help bring back romance by removing the mosquitoes!!!
[Reply]
My son does a lot of camping with his scout troop and this would perfect be for them! Plus I could have more cookouts without getting eaten alive by insects that seem to prefer me over all my family members! Thanks.

This would help my cookouts in the backyard I live where there is water near by and the mosquitoes are horrible I get bites all the time. And since it is so small I could take it camping because the bugs here in Wisconsin sure could carry you away!

Because of bugs we are staying indoors and not enjoying the outdoors this summer, we live in florida so could be enjoying the outdoors most of the year.
The Off prize could make our family outdoor fun more enjoyable. We have a cement patio that never gets used because we hate bugs, the lantern looks not only great for summer patios but could be a way to enjoy outdoor fun. Cookouts could be enjoyed, yard games could be played, yard work and so much more can happen with the Off prize if I won.
Thank you

We grill out about twice a week and our neighbor’s yard is pretty unkept. This would be great to keep away all the bugs that wander from their yard.

We go camping every other week. It would be nice to have no mosquitos.

This can help me!!!I hate bugs!!!

just to cool

It would be a lot easier to flip the burgers if we weren’t shooing away the bugs.

Using the OFF! PowerPad Lamp and Lantern would allow us to relax more on the front porch and backyard. Please accept my entry. Thank you.

It would def help keep those pesky mosquitoes away when we bbq.
[Reply]
Camping has always been a “buggy” adventure. I woke up one morning with no fewer than 25 mosquito bites on my face! Ugh! I would have loved to have an Off Powerpad Lamp and Lantern during that trip!
Thank you.
[Reply]
This would let me actually enjoy the campfire without getting eaten alive.
[Reply]
Yuck, I hate all those sprays. This woulod be fantastic for outdoors when we camp.
[Reply]
W/out attacking mosquitos we would be able to enjoy out BBQ’s outside.
[Reply]
This is fantastic! We often go to the park with friends and I seem to be the only one the mosquitos are drawn to immediately – my husband says I’m too sweet to resist, lol. For some reason I get bitten up terribly, so this would be a great thing to bring along so I can enjoy it as much as everyone else! Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
This would help to make sitting around the campfire (and making smores!) more enjoyable by keeping the mosquitos away!
[Reply]
I’m up next to host a family cookout, and we live right by the edge of the woods, with creeks & puddles & tons of wee flying, biting critters. I’d really love to win this!
[Reply]
I’ve got a birthday and a housewarming party to host soon and we always seem to cook out but then get eaten alive by knats. This would really help!

This summer has been horrible as far as the mosquitoes go, I would love to win this to make our cookout more enjoyable! Thanks for the chance!

Camping by the lake always involves lots of mosquitos. This would help us as we fish in the evenings, when the bugs all rise from the grass around the lake.

We hardly ever use our patio furniture because eating outside means battling bugs. This would be great for evening dinners outside.

This would be for the son in law. He makes one awesome steak, and shouldn’t have to battle the heat and bugs to do it.

OFF!® PowerPad® Lamp and Lantern can really help us out when we are grilling out which is a weekly thing we do. Living in Florida the mosquitos are horrific, it would be nice to just sit outside with the children and enjoy the Summer evenings.

We have a fire nearly everynight outside of our house. We cook marshmallows for smores or by themselves. Last night the bugs were out and that was the first time I have had a problem this year. This product would help keep the bugs away from us while we relax outside.

We love to grill, but I usually don’t join my husband out there because I don’t enjoy being eating alive by bugs. This would let me spend more time with him!
[Reply]
Living in central Florida, we are now in the rainy season and have LOTS of standing water, so the mosquito problem is just horrible!! I would LOVE to have this lamp for our porch that we sit out on in the morning for coffee, and in the evening to watch the sunset and just relax. We also like to eat dinner out there, but it has been too “buggy” out there to eat lately, so this would be perfect, the citronella candles kind-of clash with the dinner flavors.
[Reply]
We have a lot of bonfires in the summer. We are near the water so at times the misquitos can get bad. My husband likes to light tiki torches with citronella oil to try to keep the bugs down. I don’t like it when he does that because I am always afraid someone is going to knock one over and start a fire or get hurt. These lanterns seem like they would be a much safer alternative.
[Reply]
In Florida the bugs come out of the woods to get you. This will allow us to stay outside
[Reply]
This will be great to keep the NC bugs away when I’m camping! I live near a river, so I would get a lot more use out of it even when I’m not camping… there are bugs everywhere at my house!

I think it would help because people would be able to socialize longer. After the third or fourth person spraying insect repellent, it just isn’t nice to sit around and chat or play games anymore.
[Reply]
I live in NC and with the humidity and the lack of a hard winter to kill of even the strongest of bugs, I really need this to take care of the mosquitoes that come out of the forest that is behind my backyard. The trees start about 5 feet from the edge of the patio. We eat outside in March-April fairly consistently but it’s sporadic during the rest of the year.

Oh how I would love to try out the little latern. Last summer, my hubby and I packed up the kids and moved to a beautiful new home right off a lake. As you can imagine, the bugs are horrible at night! We have a great deck, and if I had one of the Off Laterns we could BBQ, relax and read books, and simply enjoy the amazing view we have of the lake and mountains!
