The No-Chemical, No-Poison Answer To Your Mosquito, Pest and Insect Problem!Haven't you ever wondered why there are no mosquitoes at an Italian restaurant? Works on vampires (hearsay)!
One Quart Covers approx. 1.25 Acres. At our house we use 2 oz to a gallon and spray twice the first week and every seven days or after a rain storm to keep mosquitos, ticks and deer away. We sprayed the first week of June and saw a hundred percent reduction in ticks, not a single one has attached to the dogs through the second week of July, prior to spraying it was three or four each outside visit. The reduction of Bitting insects dropped by 90-95 percent.
65,000,000 birds are killed each and every year by traditional chemical pesticides. Birds eat sprayed bugs and die themselves. We're killing off one of our best allies. When the birds are gone the insects will really take over. Avoid the dangerous effects of traditional pesticides. (Bird statistics herein are from researchers at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY)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"). Garlic has a natural sulfur which repels mosquitoes. 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, pets or plants, but to mosquitoes it can be deadly. The odor of garlic chases them away for as long as they can detect the odor. The odor of sprayed garlic juice becomes undetectable to humans within minutes, but mosquitoes can detect odor as much as 10,000 times better than a human. So even though you can't smell the garlic, they can and they will stay away from the sprayed area for up to a month or longer. If the mosquitoes aren't in your yard, they can't get into your house.
Additionally, Mosquito Barrier, when mixed with canola 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. This oil suffocates the mosquito larvae which can develop in standing water. Unlike harmful chemicals, Mosquito Barrier is a natural insect repellent that doesn't kill bees or butterflies and is completely safe for children, fish, birds, dogs, cats and other pets.
Be careful of traditional chemical pesticides, they can kill more than mosquitoes.
Generally, four applications are enough for the entire mosquito 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.Sprayed on farm crops, garden plants and ornamental to keep insects off. It contains considerable amounts of natural sulfurs which appear to be responsible for its repellent activity.
Garlic Barrier also works well when sprayed in the furrow on top of the seed as it is planted, or in the furrow with seedlings. Doing this repels nematodes and other underground creatures harmful to the plants. Non-organic farmers often mix Garlic Barrier together with pesticides and other harsh chemicals thereby avoiding having to spray separately for each chemical. During infestation, spray every 2 - 3 days as needed until insects are gone.For Nematodes, root maggots and beetles Put Garlic Barrier and water into furrow as you plant either on top of seed or in furrow before inserting transplant. Use a 2% solution and put enough in furrow so as to dampen area.
For Deer, Rabbits and Armadillos (had to mention them) Excellent results are reported by gardeners from applying Garlic Barrier in the garden or wherever they are feeding. Normally, repellent effects only last about 10-12 day.
For Birds to keep away from various fruit trees such as cherry trees. The birds come only when the fruit begins to "sugar" and ripen. The birds smell that the fruit is ripening and attack the fruit, often causing severe damage. Garlic Barrier "masks" the ripening odor of the fruit to the extent that the birds cannot detect that the fruit is ripening and therefore ignore the garlic sprayed trees. Best of all the Garlic washes off and leaves no after flavor unlike harsh chemicals.
For Geese Garlic Barrier makes the grass taste bad to the geese and they leave.
Mosquito Barrier is a three pronged attack:(1) It kills the adult mosquitoes.(2) The garlic coated plants keep mosquitoes, deer and ticks out of the area.(3) It suffocates any mosquito larvae in standing water, such as puddles, under decks, water in tin cans or depressions in lawn, etc.
A quart size bottle works well for small areas. Use a 32 oz spray bottle. We also have the Gallon size availalbe.
