The deadline to file a claim in a $3.6 million class-action settlement from Spartan Mosquito repellent is in 11 days. A Mississippi-based company called AC2T, the manufacturer of Spartan Mosquito Eradicator, agreed to a settlement earlier this year to resolve false advertising claims.
Consumers of Spartan Mosquito products, such as the Spartan Mosquito Eradicator and Spartan Mosquito Pro Tech, who made a purchase between Dec. 21, 2016, and Aug. 2, 2023, may be eligible for financial compensation from the settlement.

Multiple factors will determine how much a consumer’s payout could be. Those who do not provide any proof of purchase can file a claim for up to $7 for one qualifying Spartan Mosquito repellent per household. Those who provide proof of purchase can receive $10 per household.
AC2T was embroiled in a class-action lawsuit after allegations that their advertising, claiming the product would reduce mosquito populations for 15 days, was false. Plaintiffs said the company falsely misled consumers and that the repellent did not perform as advertised. The company has not admitted to any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the lawsuit.
