Liquid Garlic Mosquito Repellent Concentrate, 32 fl oz – Professional Outdoor Treatment for Lawns, Landscapes & Perimeter Areas – Yard & Home Mosquito Protection

The BEST mosquito control ever! Very easy to use and it lasts until the next rain. It has a faint garlic smell when you apply it but disappears when it dried. Very cost effective product.

I was unsure with a mix of reviews online and skeptical of the idea that one natural product would work. But it was reasonably priced and believed it wouldn’t hurt our dog, plants, fireflies and other critters we love. And if it works against Dracula it’s gotta work. I bought the smaller bottle and a pump pressure spray separately for $12. It’s been very hot and muggy for days and days to come, so it was the perfect time to apply. The product comes in a nice sturdy commercial bottle, and is inside a ziplock type bag. That’s smart, as any drop or leak will leave a stain of odor, but I was glad to see and smell that the product had muscle to it. Definitely open and mix outdoors, The garlic smell is huge and lingers in your head,and you may think the house will smell like it forever, but it goes away before you know it. Mixed about 3-4 shots of the garlic juice with a gallon of water in the sprayer applicator. (By the way, taking the sprayer apart to clean is essential, but it’s the most garlic intense moments of all. If inside, run the water slowly washing the outside of the sprayer, then fill it up and let it spray out water until empty.) I was ready to apply, so I did. I had the sprayer set to a strong mist, not too misty or wind will just take it away. I just kept it on spray as I walked around the perimeter of backyard. It’s a mix of bushes, flowers and tall plants. Spray from the ground up otherwise you’ll be under a mist of garlic. And the key is to push the applicator through the leaves, turning it to coat 360 around the leaves. It actually starts to be quite fun. I did my entire backyard and went ahead and did the front set of bushes too. I did this at 6:30 pm while mosquitos were out. You want them there to see and be seen by the sprayer. It certainly agitated them, as they came out from everywhere. Wear long stuff at least the first time. Once done with the front, I walked to backyard. It really smelled like intense garlic, neighbors must have thought I was cooking something horrible, but who cares, this benefits them too. After about 1 hour the odor started to dissipate,the mosquitos were less dense but I was still unsure. Next day I got up when mosquitos would be up, around 6am and there was no smell of garlic, trees and grass were alive and well and the dog was clueless. But, mosquitos were there. Product says to do it 2-3 times. I did it again, much faster. Mosquitos agitated but not as many. Good sign. This time I was done in 15 minutes, and kinda fun, familiar smell. Came back from work, my wife was in the backyard with the dog. Both enjoying the time, no garlic smell and she says she hasn’t been bitten at all. I do see a few as I walk around, but am super impressed. I saw it worked, so I was inspired to do another round. Being an expert applicator now, I did it while my wife grilled. Even asked if the steak needed a spritz of garlic...I thought it was funny. Applied, done, ready for dinner. Ate inside. Had dessert in the backyard, no garlic smell, no citronella candles, and zero mosquitos. Fireflies? Yes, plenty. It works for my yard I walk the dog around the block and there are lots of mosquitos, but we come back to our yard and it’s mosquito free. I’m writing this from my backyard, its been a week and still good, I’m sure I’ll apply again in a week or two, as I start to miss the garlic mist.

I used this in my back yard, where, here in the DC area we have vicious asian tiger mosquitos. If you have them, you understand the desperation of trying to get rid of them. If you have children, you understand why I was desperate to find a solution that was definitely not a poison for people. I am not opposed to using pesticides, and I see them as generally very safe. But children are small and have small livers and kidneys, their toxin load comcerns me. Finding this solution is a Godsend. I had to spray it very thoroughly, at DOUBLE the concentration under all shrub foliage and over the grass areas. This is not a super easy application with a simple 2 gallon pump on a 1/4 acre lot. But it was simple andit really seemed to work after a few hours wait. The mosquitos were gone, I maybe saw 1 and it was safe for my daughter to play outside. Before there would be 5 om her in less than a minute. DOWNSIDE: One strong rain and they are back in force. Though this is not too different from other repellent choices. The smell is stromg but goes away in a day. At double strength, it's about $2.00 per application (for a quarter acre) if it doesn't rain it will work for days, a really great price. It's better if you dont have many bushes or shrubs (they hide under the leaves). Keep it in the fridge, sealed in a bag to keep the smell from getting everywhere. Not a cheap solution, but neither are any alternatives other than fogging strong pesticides. I will update after some more uses, (I've used it about 4 times, enough to be reasonably, but not 100% confident that it is working), I promise.

The product...Just did not work. I have bought it in the past directly from the company and have good luck with it. Bought it from a local store and it didn't work as well...same thing with this one from Amazon. Maybe the bottles from other suppliers sit on the shelves for years and lost their potency, I don't know. Very disappointed. Will have to go back and pay a little more and buy directly from the company again. UPDATE: THE SELLER was very helpful and did more than I ever thought! I never actually expected to be contacted in the first place. Very good "above and beyond" action by the seller!

This non-pesticide spray product works on the mosquitoes and jumping bugs. To have the most success, you have to spray the bushes and shady areas under the trees, including the underside and undergrowth as much as possible, not just the grass. Mosquitoes often take advantage of the cover provided by bushes and trees - they don't actually hang out on the open grass in the hot sun any more than most people do. My yard has been bite-free after spraying. Although this product works there are a couple of things to be aware of. (1) When another reviewer said the lawn smelled like an Italian Restaurant for a couple of hours, that is an understatement at least during the spraying. The smell dissipates after a couple of hours, and I will gladly trade a light garlic odor for no bites. (2) You will see the desirable insects running away from the spray too, such as spiders. (3) This product will clog some spray machines. We had two battery-operated spray pumps (purchased by someone else ... yard work is more enticing for some people when a motor is involved!) and both sprayers are now completely clogged and useless. Because of the design of the electric pump I may not be able to repair it, so, the Mosquito Barrier product loses two stars because I have to get another sprayer. I did shake well as directed, and I will try the pressurized manual type next, or maybe one attached to a hose, those types might be less prone to clogs. Note to manufacturer - please filter the sediments from the product. (4) Wash your yard clothes by themselves after spraying.

Absolutely the best thing for her backyard. It keeps the mosquitoes away for at least two months often three depending on how much rain easy to use.

Garbage. Does not work.

Works well. My neighbour has a pool and they normally don't clean it or fill it so my backyard is overwhelmed with mosquitos from the stagnant water. This helps a lot. The smell dissipates after 30 mins and we spray a few hours before guests or our planned use so we can enjoy our yard.

This actually seems to be working in my half acre yard filled with tons of cedar and other spots mosquitos love. Of course it’s not perfect and there are still mosquitos, but I’m no longer being swarmed in broad daylight. Will be spraying again but I’m happy with the results.

Seemed to work for a day or two. Better off getting Pounce if you're wanting something more effective and longer lasting. This is good if you want something more environmentally friendly and don't have a large area to treat. If just a backyard it probably is more worth it, but for the cost and effectiveness it's not good for an acreage.
