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

This is all we use around our house....it's safe for pets and people. We've been using it for years.

Great product. Always works great.

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.

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!

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 as effective as I would hope. Probably helps somewhat

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 heard about Mosquito Barrier after asking friends on FB what to use to kill/repel ticks after pulling a fat brown dog tick off my shih tsu, Hannah. Read with interest most of the reviews here and found one in particular from near my part of the states, Central New York, which said it DID in fact repel the nasty Asian Tiger Mosquito if you double the potency. Since there is no risk or danger from upping the dosage, I didn't even measure, but just dumped about a full cup into my 1-gal. garden sprayer. Two gallons were sufficient to do every square inch of my yard, gardens, house, porches, etc... The garlic smell was still there in the morning but gone by the time I returned from work the next day. Best part of this, though....NO ticks, NO mosquitoes! In fact, we had been chased in one evening just a week before application. Just found my first mosquito now 3 wks later. But, to be fair, we have received very little rain from mid-May until just this week, 3rd week of June. Told my neighbors with a toddler and large dog and they bought some, too and applied it last week. I think if we take turns, we'll be able to get through the summer and still have enough leftover for next year. Btw, I was hiking around a very slow-moving pond near the Erie Canal yesterday and smelled intense garlic on the grassy portion of the walk. I never saw a mosquito the entire time I was there and believe that the municipality sprayed Mosquito Barrier along the pond's edge, too! coincidentally, ABC News just did a piece on the other deer tick-borne disease Babesiosis, deadly to those with immune deficiencies like myself and my elderly mother (both cancer survivors). They told how it has migrated from New England to the Lower Hudson Valley in my home state of NY. Please, folks....protect yourselves and your children and pets with a combo of Mosquito Barrier, DEET and careful checking! Unlike the tell-tale bullseye ring left by a deer tick carrying Lyme Disease, Babesiosis bears no marks and the same tick can infect you with both Lyme and this sometimes-fatal parasite which devours your red blood cells. As a nature photographer, I spend most free days in the field, often in grass right up to my waist. I'm considering spraying some Mosquito Barrier on myself along with DEET to further protect myself against these nasty and deadly bloodsuckers!
