America's Only Mosquito, Tick And Flea Repellent For Grassy Areas; Yards, Parks, Athletic Fields And Golf Courses. Just one spraying will keep mosquitoes, ticks and fleas out of your yard and away from your home, 24 hours a day for nearly a month. Being used right now by City Governments for parks, golf courses and school grounds - because it works (read the testimonials). The Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito is known to be a vector for various diseases and viruses. This female Amblyomma americanum tick is a known transmitter of several zoonotic diseases. Mosquito Barrier is a very strong liquid garlic made from very potent garlic cloves. The garlic used in Mosquito Barrier is a very powerful variety which is much more potent than the garlic found in grocery stores (in fact, our lab people here refer to it as "super garlic"). Garlic has a natural sulfur which repels insects, including mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. Spraying garlic to keep insects away is not something new, farmers and master gardeners have been doing it for many generations. As you read and learn about Mosquito Barrier, please make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this page where you will find additional links and information about our product. Since mosquitoes are soft-bodied insects the garlic juice can be very toxic to them in increased concentrations. The juice does not harm humans or pets or plants, but to mosquitoes it can be deadly. The odor of it chases them out of the area and they stay away - for as long as they can detect the odor. While the odor of sprayed garlic juice becomes undetectable to humans within minutes, the mosquitoes will still detect it. Mosquitoes have extremely sensitive odor sensing antennae - as high as 10,000 times better than humans. They can detect the garlic extract for much longer periods of time and will stay away from the sprayed area for up to a month and more. If the mosquitoes aren't in your yard, they can't get into your house. Additionally, Mosquito Barrier, when mixed with soybean oil (available at your local grocery store) plus the water, coats any standing water in the area with a very thin film of natural oil, including some garlic oil which is present in the garlic juice. This oil suffocates the mosquito larvae which are developing in any standing water. Mosquito Barrier, unlike chemicals, doesn't kill the bees, butterflies or birds. Generally, four applications are enough for the entire mosquito and tick season for the average sized home and a Twin-Pak (two quarts) of Mosquito Barrier are all that are normally required. Mosquito Barrier is a three pronged attack: (1) It kills the adult mosquitoes on contact. (2) The garlic coated plants keep mosquitoes out of the area. (3) It suffocates any mosquito larvae in standing water, such as puddles, under decks, water in tin cans or depressions in lawn, etc. MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!
