Mosquito Barrier Liquid Garlic Spray Concentrate for Mosquitoes, 1 Gallon

Works well. Very strong odor when first sprayed. I don’t mind it, but it makes my wife nauseous. After a few hours she doesn’t mind it. Roughly gives us a week of very little mosquitos depending on how much it rains. Nice to have a natural deterrent that works.

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 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.

Love this stuff. Works good in a backpack sprayer.

Have always used this stuff but this time the bottle is different and the smell of garlic is non existent. It does not work anymore as it has no smell. Almost like the seller diluted it with lots of water. The color is not dark brown anymore it is almost clear telling me that it’s not the same stuff. Do yourself a favor and save your money this new formula is garbage. Maybe I will try my online pest control store since it’s always been good through them but shipping takes forever which is why I chose Amazon. Big mistake

Not sure if it works on the mosquito problem but it did keep them away from the box as it spilt during transport. Can't say how much it took to keep the mosquitoes away but it does smell strongly of garlic. That's the idea, right?? Maybe it'll help keep them out of the pool since it permeated the pool.vacuum it was shipped with.

We have been inundated with mosquitoes this year. Someone suggested this and am I glad they did. My yard isn't huge so a two gallon sprayer (not included) did my yard twice. Firstly, the bottle came shrink wrapped in plastic. I'm glad it did. It did leak a very, very small amount. It wouldn't have been good for the delivery driver because it has a very strong garlic odor. Ooh, his truck would have smelled. He would not have liked us very much. I doubled the amount of solution for my first spraying of the year. It states on the bottle that you can add a little oil to the water and solution but it doesn't say how much. So I just put some in. The oil does make it a bit more of a clean up job for your sprayer. I sprayed my yard and plants. I also sprayed a little into the weed fest that my neighbors call a yard. Let it settle for the day and sprayed the rest of the container that night because I didnt want the sprayer to retain the odor. It does leave a slight scent of garlic in your yard for a short period of time. But that could be that it was just in my nose. I recommend mixing it outside because my house smelled like garlic for the day. It's been 3 weeks and we have only seen 3 mosquitoes. We call that a win! We would be foolish to believe that some of the nasty little buggers wouldn't try to get through to us. We are a tasty morsel. We are very satisfied!

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?

For effectiveness I give it 5 stars. The Mosquitoes were eating me alive while I was preparing the sprayer. Once I was done spraying they were nowhere to be seen. it works right away. I give it 3 stars for the accuracy of the coverage claims. I should have been able to do my whole yard with 4 ounces of the solution and 1 gallon of water but i was only able to get the backyard done. I needed another gallon to do the front yard. You can not store this product in your house or garage unless you like the smell of super strong garlic, it stinks. I need to keep that in mind for the winter because it will freeze in my garden shed. So I"ll need to use up all the product before the end of mosquito season.

I had heard about this product before but never used it. We moved into a home near a greenbelt/pond walking trails and the mosquitos were quite a problem. Really could not use our deck at all. Tried to buy locally but the price was far more then from Amazon with free shipping. So ordered the product and sprayed all around the house. Did help but didn't get rid of them. So I did another dose (stronger this time) and sprayed the walls deck and ground and it worked. No Mosquitos....

Sprayed a couple times a few days before my backyard wedding at a mix of 60ml per litre. I could not notice a smell On my wedding day and the Mosquito infestation was significantly reduced. I live in a wet bushy area and other outdoor events have been canceled in the past due to the amount of Mosquitos. For me the spray only lasted the night but we have also gotten a good amount of rain.

This actually works!i I was very skeptical! I cut the lawn and spray it on Friday before the weekend. I used it 4 weeks ago and it needs to be resprayed now. I am usually attacked by mosquitos, but this has stopped the invasion. My guests were shocked. We are living rurally and the mosquitos are horrible here, but this really creates a barrier. I spray my grass, trees etc... making sure it is all covered. I use a contractor sprayer 1 cup of barrier, 2 gallons of water and 1/4 cup of cooking oil to help it stick then spray away.

We used a hand sprayer and was diligent about getting under any foliage and was quite generous when spraying. We made sure as well that it did not rain the next day. We have tried this at the regular dosage and double the dosage and It DOES NOT WORK. We loved the idea of it being a natural product, but it simply does not do a good job of keeping the mosquitoes away. Don't waste your time and money on this product.
