Insect and Pest - 1 Gallon

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!

Living in a swampy area of Massachusetts, mosquitos and more recently ticks have been a constant nuisance to our family. We wanted to treat our yard with some form of insecticde but wanted to be sure it would not harm our honeybees. We figured this product would be worth a try. Well, as of today it has been three weeks since I first applied the product to our yard. I spent 4 hours in the yard this afternoon and didn't notice a single mosquito! Following the instructions and being sure to spray the undersides of leafy vegetation, I made my way completely around the border of our one acre lot. I had added a few teaspoons of vegetable oil to the mix as recommended to help it stick for a longer period of time. Also, i applied pretty liberally. The garlic odor was noticable for about 2 days, but we enjoyed it! Even now i will occcasionally get to a part of the yard that still smells of garlic. The bees are still buzzing, the dragonflies are fewer but still around ( kids really enjoy them) and I have noticed a dramatic decrease in the amount of biting insects about. Even my mother commented on the lack of bugs on her recent visit! I think I have been bitten one time in the past weeks since applying the product. Note: we have had only 2 or 3 rain events since the application of the product. If we had more rain, we would probably need to reapply more often. I am a cynic and took a chance... now I am a believer. This stuff is non toxic and it really works.

I sprayed my half acre yard with this four times this year, from May to October. Up until June our backyard was an oasis of no mosquitoes. Then the rain came and tiger mosquitoes multiplied. We had the wettest year in over 100 years where I live. With that, it washed this spray away continuously. July and August we had mosquitos but not as bad as usual. Overall, it’s a lot of work but does a pretty good job of killing/stopping mosquitoes, better than any other device/chemical I have used. And it’s not toxic! 1 gallon will last my yard 2-3 years. It smelled for less than 24 hours each spray, longer if it was humid. Below are some tips I learned. I believe this is probably more effective against native mosquitos than the Asian tiger mosquitos. -Use gloves, this stuff stinks, especially the concentrate. -I used a heavy 5 Oz per 2 gallons in my sprayer -Spray everything! Read the directions. Spray up in trees and inside shrubs. I sprayed fences, the deck, almost everything. -Spray under leaves! It’s less likely to wash away. -When spraying in thick shrubs, be careful not to disturb bees and such -Heavily spray known breeding grounds. You’ll know when you start spraying it. -Mix in a little oil, I used canola. The oil helps the spray stick. -It took me 1.5 hours and 4 gallons for a solid spray of my yard. Sometimes I just did a quick 2 gallon spray if guests were coming over the next day.

I live in northeast and there's a swamp behind my property. Every summer there will be lots of mosquitos. So I spray this all over my property and over my fence. This stuff really keeps the mosquitos away. I also notice less flies as well. Just reapply once a month to enjoy your summer without mosquitos. This product claims it will also keep deers away. It doesn't keep deers away. I spotted 3 deers walking around my yard. I don't mind because they are cute.
