By using Maestro-Gro's Natural GARLIC SPRAY in a three pronged attack you can repel mosquitoes out of your yard and garden and away from your home for nearly a month.

(1) It kills the adult mosquitoes on contact.
The juice does not harm humans or pets or plants, but to mosquitoes which are soft-bodied insects the garlic juice is very toxic.

(2) 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 have extremely sensitive odor sensing antennae - as high as 10,000 times better than humans which means they will be able to detect the garlic smell for much longer periods of time and will stay away from the sprayed area for up to a month and more.

(3) It suffocates any mosquito larvae in standing water such as puddles, under decks, or depressions in lawn, etc.

Generally, four applications are enough for the entire mosquito season. Even in the heaviest of infestations the gallon size is almost always enough for the entire year.
