We spend a huge chunk of the spring and summer in our backyard. Whether we are at the pool, grilling out or just hanging outside with the boys—if the weather is nice, you will likely find us outside.
I love the view from my backyard. I’m surrounded by lots of trees and there is even a tiny little creek that runs through my side yard. It’s the perfect place to relax and spend the day with family and friends. Now I am not the only one who loves my backyard…with all those beautiful trees, the creek and the pool we attract tons of bugs and mosquitos!
At my house, mosquitos don’t stop us from enjoying our time outside. I simply keep a supply of OFF!® products easily accessible so we are protected from mosquito bites.
There are so many great OFF!® Insect Repellents available and you can find a huge selection at Publix. OFF!® Active is the product that is most used around my house. It provides sweat-resistant protection. You can get up to 5 hours of protection with just one application.
I know that many of you may have concerns about the Zika virus. You will be happy to know that OFF!® Active provides long lasting protection from mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus [Dengue, West Nile Virus].

Play outdoors on evenings with my son.
We are taking a national park tour this summer and they recommend that we use insect repellent. So we will be doing lots of hiking!
I do my gardening and walk my dog in a wooded area and feel protected when I use Off products. The unscented spray with Aloe Vera is my favorite! I never get bit by mosquitoes no matter what time of the day I’m out and about. OFF is essential for living in Florida, especially in the summer months!
Catch lightening bugs!!!
Fishing for dinner and “playing” in the gardens!
Sit by the pool and watch my kids play!
I would garden, play with my dog, grill, and just sit outside (if the temperature in SC ever gets below 95 again!). The bugs are very bad in my yard.
Have a picnic
Being able to go on hikes and just being around the lake. Off is great and I have used it in my family since I was a little girl,
Going on vacation next week. Just bought my OFF today. Will apply it on the whole family and we r outside.
What we will be doing this summer outdoors is taking some publix subs and heading to the beach for a picnic dinner and watching the sunset. its so relaxing. I also love to work out in my yard. My grandson likes to do the fire pit and set up a tent. The kids all go in the tent and play while the adults sit around and socialize. These are all things that need the OFF one way or another. We live in Florida and we are full of those biting critters .
Just being outside around the pool, playing various games, or just relaxing on the deck is great. However, in a few weeks I will be having my entire family here for a cookout and swim party. It would be great to be super-prepared with Off!
I have liked the Off Facebook page. Now I would like to have lots of Off! so that I will not be attacked by mosquitos and other pests while I am enjoying the outdoors.
I already like I Heart Publix on Facebook. I also like to spend time outside so I need lots of Off!
I live on acreage property so I’m always out doing yard work or on the tractor, so Off! is a much appreciated commodity at my house during the summer time!
hiking
Light up the fire pit and roast marshmallows (make s’mores). I already “Like” I Heart Publix on Facebook!
I could spend more time by the pool in the evenings when mosquitos are so bad.
I enjoy the pool and late evening walk! Need to be protected from the critters
I would sit on the back porch later into the evening with my husband and talk.

Grilling dinner and hanging out by the pool.

I would take more walks in the evening (which is about the only time to do it due to the heat) with my 21 month old! We live in the Tampa Bay area and the mosquitoes just love him. Thanks for the entry!
I would love to be able to work in my garden without being eaten alive by the mozzies.
Picking veggies from the garden is much better with a little OFF on..
We love outdoor activities of any kind so Off is standard equipment in our household.
We walk the dogs mostly thru wooded areas everyday so a can of Off goes with us.
Would work out in my flower gardens more and just enjoy the evenings out on the deck. I’m a magnet for mosquitoes, so always have to use repellent when I go out day or night!

I would sit outside in the evening and roast marshmallows over my fire pit with my husband and daughter.
Have a picnic on the beach at sunset
I dream all winter long, about relaxing under the trees in my chaise with a tall sweet tea and a good book.
Unfortunately, the mosquitoes dream of me being out there, too! 🙁
Being protected by OFF! means letting the kids play outside at night too

My family and I would go: camping, fishing, star gazing, hunting and for walks once the sun starts to go down and things cool off here in Florida. We go through tons of bug stuff every season.

Hubby and I play in a coed softball league at night and the mosquitoes love the warm humid weather in South Florida.
Liked IHP and OFF! on FB
Honestly, I’d just GO outside.
I stay inside because nothing I’ve tried prevents the mosquitos from eating me & the welts stay visible for weeks.
I would like to eat lunch on the deck and after would like to just relax and read a good mystery book.

We have several camping trips planned along the gulf coast this summer.
We spend time in our pool most afternoons and ejoy the swing on our back patio.
I’ll be watering my flower beds, too.
I would garden in the front yard and relax and read on the back patio. I would use the Off to keep the bugs away.
