Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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!
