Natural Mosquito Repellent

Mosquito Barrier is a very strong liquid garlic made from very potent garlic cloves. The garlic used in Mosquito Barrier is a very powerful variety which is much more potent than the garlic found in grocery stores (in fact, our lab people here refer to it as super garlic). Spraying garlic to keep insects away is not something new, farmers and master gardeners have been doing it for many generations. Since mosquitoes are soft-bodied insects the garlic juice can be very toxic to them in increased concentrations. The juice does not harm humans or pets or plants, but to mosquitoes it can be deadly. The odor of it chases them out of the area and they stay away for as long as they can detect the odor. While the odor of sprayed garlic juice becomes undetectable to humans within minutes, the mosquitoes will still detect it. Mosquitoes have extremely sensitive odor sensing antennae, as high as 10,000 times better than humans. They can detect the garlic extract for much longer periods of time and will stay away from the sprayed area for up to a month and more. If the mosquitoes arent in your yard, they cant get into your house. Additionally, Mosquito Barrier, when mixed with soybean oil (available at your local grocery store) plus the water, coats any standing water in the area with a very thin film of natural oil, including some garlic oil which is present in the garlic juice. This oil suffocates the mosquito larvae which are developing in any standing water. Mosquito Barrier, unlike harmful chemicals, doesnt kill bees or butterflies and is completely safe for children, fish, birds, dogs, cats and other pets. Generally, four applications are enough for the entire mosquito and tick season. Even in the heaviest of infestations the gallon size is almost always enough for the entire year for most homes - including areas where the mosquito is the state bird.

With zhigo16 I heard about the Mosquito Barrier, after asking friends on FB what to use to kill / repel ticks after shooting a dog brown fat check my shih tsu, Hannah. Read with interest the majority of comments here and found a particularly Member, Central New York, who said he actually push the Asian tiger mosquito unpleasant if you double the power. Since there is no risk or danger to increase the dose, I did not even measure, but just dumping a cup of my 1-gal. garden sprayer. Two gallons were enough to make every inch of my garden, garden, home, porches, etc. .. The smell of garlic was still there in the morning, but spent the time I returned to work the next day. The best part about this, so .... NO ticks, mosquitoes! In fact, we were driven out in one evening just a week before application. Just found my first Mosquito now three weeks later. But to be honest, we've got very little rain from mid May until just this week, the third June week told my neighbors with a baby and dog, and bought large, even and applied last week. I think if in return we will be able to get through the summer and still have enough left for next year. BTW, I was walking around a pond very slow near the Erie Canal yesterday and an intense smell of garlic on the grassy part of the trip. I've never seen a mosquito all the time I was there, and I think the common Mosquito Barrier sprayed along the edge of the pond, too! Coincidentally, ABC News just did a piece on deer ticks, babesiosis other deadly disease in patients with immunodeficiencies like me and my old mother (both cancer survivors). They told how he migrated from New England to the Lower Hudson Valley in my home state NY. Please, people .... p protect themselves and their children and pets with a combination of Mosquito Barrier, DEET, and check out! Unlike the telltale bullseye ring left by a deer tick, Lyme disease, Babesiosis no brand has the same tick can infect both Lyme disease and sometimes fatal parasite red cell blood devours as a nature photographer, I more days off the field, often in the grass up to my waist. I think of some spray Mosquito Barrier in myself, along with DEET to continue to protect me from this unpleasant and deadly leeches! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. great product! Wandering Why Organic bought a bottle the size of the room a few years back and spraying each spring. It works like a charm! The yard has the smell of garlic for a few (minutes / hours, not days). Anyone who comes to believe that it is "wonderful" smell, because you were grilling needs! I would recommend this product to anyone in the care of the yard of a chemical free, it is safe to spray your yard and other vegitation are interested in proposing. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. By mdTraveler allegations are false, I followed the instructions on this mosquito barrier, specifically. There was still plenty of mosquitoes in my garden. I gave it a week, as the label said you can have a repeat application for severe attacks, I have a new application. Again I followed the directions carefully and use a heavy coating on my farm. Again, I'm still plenty of mosquitoes. This product is a waste of money. All 8 customer reviews ....
