Tick/Mosquito Control
Mosquito Barrier
Natural Garlic Mosquito Repellent
Mosquito Barrier is developed to help repel harmful pests such as mosquitoes and ticks while not killing beneficial insects such as honey bees.
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 concentrated than the garlic found in grocery stores. 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 gardeners have been doing it for many generations. Garlic Barrier imparts no garlic taste on any crops or plants that are sprayed. The odor of garlic in the air or on the plant disappears in about 20 minutes.
Mosquito Barrier is effective, all natural and environmentally friendly and is safe for pets, animals, children and other beneficial insects.
