hatfam,
unfortunately, it doesn't repel mosquitoes but will kill them on contact. Also if you spray on a pond, it will cause the mosquitoes to sink, because it breaks the surface tension of water. So, as they lay eggs on the water surface, the mosquitoes will literally sink and drown. But after being diluted with the pond water, the surface tension returns. So the effect is only temporary for mosquitoes but could cause significant damage to their population. I wouldn't count on AZ41 to control your mosquitoes, but you can try. You would still need a natural repellant.
One of the ways we use to kill a lot of mosquitoes is to mix 1 part lemon-scented dish washing soap to ten parts water and then place the mixture on plenty of shallow dishes or pans by the porch. The mosquitoes are somehow attracted to it, and they drown in it. I know there is a specific brand of dish washing soap that works the best, can't recall at the moment.
