Garlic Barrier Liquid Garlic Insect Repellent Concentrate, 1 Gallon – OMRI Li...

I sprayed this product around in my yard and it certainly does help to keep the bugs away from the area I sprayed. It's pet friendly and easy to apply. It's very effective in keeping the bugs away from my landscaped area that I'm always working in. It's a great value for the money.

We have used this product in the past with good results and expect the same this time. We have to wait until pollinators are done as to not upset their environment.

We have continued to use this mixture on our back yard prior to family events or parties. We simply mixed it in our backyard sprayer, either hand held or tractor mount and sprayed everywhere, trees play ground, fire pit, sitting area, and it seemed to help. Not only that people will think your constantly grilling garlic chicken as the smell is very tolerable. No harm or side effects to animals.

I read an article on Disney World and how they rid their park of mosquitos. Upon learning that they utilized a garlic spray, I immediately went into research mode. I found this formula and have been purchasing it ever since. I have found that it works great and even burns if it gets on you due to the capscasin (derived from the seeds of hot peppers). I have also discovered that it not only keeps mosquitos away, but also mammals. Anything that has taste buds (so no birds) will avoid the area of this spray. If they do bite into it, they quickly go into a tongue flapping routine to spit it out and then associate the smell as NOPE, forever. I spray it on any vegetation that my wife wishes to protect from deer, rabbits, squirrels, and any other creature that enjoys munching on her plants and garden. As for myself, I've used it to protect my fruit trees/bushes every year (the only thing I wish is that I knew about this product a year prior). No mosquitos or other leafy consuming insects; No plant and garden destroyers. No fuss and long lasting. Cons: Having said the above, it is best to spray this when you know it wont be raining for a stretch of time or else you'll be reapplying it after each rain to keep up with it's effectiveness. If you let this stuff sit on your skin, you'll become sensitive in that area until you wash it off.

I like the smell. The garlic fades in scent rather quickly so it isnt overwhelming. I purchased a ½ gallon sprayer and used this FREQUENTLY! On my outdoor couch, floors, plants, table, clothes, dirt ground, play equiptment, all around my door where the skeeters accumulate! I even dumped it in our outdoor evap cooler so it wafted the scent all over (I keep mosquito pellets in there and bleach when not in use)... I was desperate for this to work, twice a day going out and spraying while my kids played. It didnt work. Not even a bit. The skeeters just didnt care. I did this religiously for a week as I NEEDED to justify the hefty cost to my husband... 😬 No. Alas. Doesnt work on AZ mosquitos. Tried it in our garden and I didnt notice a decrease in bugs. Read somewhere the garlic needs to be ingested in order for it to be effective (added sweetners). But I already wasted a bunch of 💸 here so just got some low-level DEET to spray on clothes. Darn it. That works. I REFUSE to kill my yard bugs! I need them! I so wanted this to work. On plus side, it does not smell bad, doesnt stain and doesnt make garden food smell or taste bad at all. So maybe it would be better aimed at protecting produce (as it is marketed to do). Just doesnt work against out mosquito population. Again, I didnt want to kill our garden bugs so I cannot speak to that aspect of it's perported claim, but I aim to try this when we have our a annual caterpiller moth invasion that destroys my mountain laurels. 🤞 I am only mildly upset because I like that this concept exists and I want to not be too negative. I hope that is ok.

I have just moved into a house. The yard was full of viscous mosquitoes, every time I went outside, I would return with at least 7 new bites. Unfortunately I'm delicious. After researching options, I decided to go with Garlic Barrier and give it a try. This is June in Louisiana. Hot, muggy, buggy. Some tips: *Be prepared for some intense garlic. The smell is really overwhelming for some people, but the good news is that it dissipates really quickly! *Proper mixing ratio: 50:1= 2.6oz per gallon. So, I'm not too bright and accidentally mixed the wrong ratio. I ended up putting over double the GB in the 2gal sprayer I bought, perhaps even triple. While I was spraying, I was getting chewed up. I was hoping this would act like repellent and give me some relief, but that was not the case. I was going where the mosquitoes already were and even though I might have smelled bad to them, I was still basically presenting them food. No fault of the product there. After I sprayed every square foot of the yard and bushes and fence and 3ft up each tree trunk, I was worn out. I was glad that the smell in the house had returned to normal, for the most part and I really couldn't smell the outside except in slight hints every so often when I was out there. A few days later, some friends came over to help clean up the yard. I was worried because when I came outside, they were taking a break in the shade of one of the trees, where I got a large majority of my bites while spraying. I walked over and there was not one mosquito. Not one! I am going to use the proper mixing ratio from now on, derp, and really look forward to getting bitten less when I'm outside for longer than two seconds. I would say give it a shot. This doesn't hurt bees and is worth the trouble.

Our yard gets tons mosquitoes each summer and it gets so bad that I can't go in the yard, even for 5 minutes, without getting several bug bites. We bought a Mosquito Magnet 2 years ago and it didn't seem to do much (not to mention it was very expensive). So we started looking around for another solution. I found this spray and thought, why not...I like garlic anyhow! I mixed a little of the garlic solution into a pump-sprayer bottle with water and then sprayed it along the edges of the yard, around the vegetable garden, around the bushes, around the patio, pretty much everywhere that I felt like the mosquitoes would hide. Yes, it smelled like garlic and yes it was strong, but within a few hours the smell was pretty much non-existent. Results? OMG I think we found a winner!! I was able to sit outside for 30 minutes and not get bit AT ALL! I thought maybe it was a fluke, so we kept going out in the yard and hanging out and I have not had a single bite! It's been a game changer for us. So, long story short, if you've tried other things and they aren't working give it a shot. We still dump standing water, put mosquito dunks in the rain barrels, etc. but this has been a wonderful addition to our mosquito busting arsenal. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

I REALLY wanted this spray to work, but sadly I must report that it does not, at least on the mosquitoes in my Central Florida yard. I used the spray at the 1:50 ratio three times. The first time I sprayed I didn't notice much, if any, difference. But again, I REALLY wanted the spray to work, so in 2 weeks I sprayed again. I sprayed it more heavily this time. Then I followed up with another heavy spray 2 days later, in preparation for a lawn party the next evening. The lawn party quickly became a house party as dusk neared as the mosquitoes came out in force, despite my heavy sprays of the 1:50 (infestation-level) spraying only 1 PLUS 3 days before the party. If you decide to try it, hopefully you have better luck with it than I did. P.S., it does smell really strong, even through the closed bottle, but the smell does not linger long once applied to the lawn and shrubbery.
