Mosquito Barrier Liquid Garlic Mosquito Repellent Concentrate, 1 Gallon – Professional Outdoor Treatment for Lawns, Landscapes & Perimeter Areas – Yard & Home Mosquito Protection

I am a walking mosquito magnet! There can be ONE mosquito in a two mile radius when I step outside, and it will break the sound barrier getting to me. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT!! I hate chemicals, and this is all natural, which is important to me because I have free-roaming chickens, three cats and a horse and a donkey, so I didn't want any chemicals that could hurt any of my animals. This concentrated garlic juice is AMAZING!!! Since I purchased the product (about a month ago), I have not been bitten EVEN ONCE! Last night I was in my veggie garden harvesting my peas, and normally I would walk out of the garden with several welts, but last night I had NO BITES AT ALL! I bought a sprayer designated just for this stuff so it is ready to go at a moment's notice. Here's how it works: Mosquitos HATE the smell of garlic. This product does not kill mosquitoes (although it sure wouldn't hurt my feelings if it did!); it repels them. After spraying, the directions say it may take a couple of days to fully clear the area, but I noticed they were gone the very next day. The smell is strong. However, to humans, the smell fades after a couple of hours, whereas mosquitoes have an incredible sense of smell and they smell it for days and days and days..... Since you add a little oil to the mixture, the scent clings to leaves and things and the mosquitoes can detect it for much longer than we can. I spray it heavily around my watering trough, my rain barrel and my water container for the smaller animals. I also coated my deck so I could enjoy sitting out there without becoming someone's lunch. And lastly, I heavily sprayed where I keep my horse tack. The horse's sweat on the saddle pad would draw in mosquitoes, and in the past when I would grab the horse blanket, an army of mosquitoes would fly into the air. Now when I grab it, NOTHING flies off of it! This product lasts about a month unless there is a heavy rainfall, in which case, spray again after everything dries. Also, I the amount of product to make a gallon of spray is so minimal, that I can see this purchase lasting me into the fall or even next spring. This is a WIN-WIN product (no chemicals and no mosquitoes!!)! I have no ties to this company, and I was not compensated or even contacted about making this review. I just love a good product and want to share my insight with others!

I have the perfect test subject--my wife will get seven mosquito bites if there is even a single mosquito in the county. We live in eastern Oklahoma, Ozark Mountain area, in the middle of a forest with a stagnant pond 100' from the house. Before we sprayed this last spring my wife couldn't be outside for two minutes without lathering up with DEET. I poured this into a standard hose-end sprayer, at the recommended setting of 2oz per gallon, and basically walked around our house and acreage flinging the garlic-y water all over the place. From that day forward, ALL last summer, ZERO mosquitoes. Still had moths, stink bugs flying around the lights, etc... this doesn't kill any flying bugs as far as I can tell, but there will be ZERO mosquitoes flying around after you spray this. Zero. Never re-applied, didn't even use the whole gallon. (Whole area sprayed, perhaps 300' by 200'... sprayed all my lawn, kinda splashed the sides of the house, and then splashed all the shrub/tree transition area around my lawn.) Yup, the place smelled like garlic for a day or two, then faded away to nothing... but again, ALL summer (12+ weeks?), my wife never got bitten once. You just flat didn't see mosquitoes flying around! I am a BIG skeptic of 'home remedies', old wives' tales, advice from Almanacs and the like... but this isn't any of those--apparently mosquitoes just flat don't like even the vaguest lingering odor of garlic. I'm re-ordering for this spring--I still had maybe a 1/4 gallon left, and while it still smelled nice and garlic-y I don't want to tempt fate so I figure I'll buy a gallon each spring and spray away... you find so few remedies like this that actually -work-, I'm going to stick with this one forever. I wonder if just planting garlic around the edges of the place would work too?

We bought this after we had a professional service spray our yard and saw a significant reduction in mosquitoes. We live in Georgia and want to use our outdoor living area three seasons, but did not want pesticides that kill pests and non-pests. We had such good results with the professional service that we went all in and bought a Stihl backpack blower to get into shrubs and trees in our one acre property. It takes about 10 minutes to spray the yard. This is our second year using it and it has made a tremendous difference. I would say the mosquitoes are down by 90%-not perfect, but enough to give us back our yard. We spray about every two weeks or once a week during rainy times. The smell dissipates in about two hours. If we are sitting out in the evening with someone who is one of the mosquitos’ favorites, we’ll put our mosquito coils as well. I can’t say whether it has an effect on ticks, as we didn’t have a huge problem with them before. It is not effective on what we call “no-see-‘ems” the little things that hop up from the ground and get your ankles, but it really does a number on mosquitos. We have recommended it to friends and even spayed others’ yards with our backpack. I would guess that those who have found it less effective are using the handheld sprayer. The backpack blower gives much better coverage.
