| Is Mosquito Barrier safe for my children and pets? |
Yes! There are no poisons or harmful chemicals in Mosquito Barrier. Just 99.3% garlic juice with some food grade preservatives added. |
|
Does Mosquito Barrier repel Fleas, Ticks and Chiggers?
|
Yes. If sprayed liberally on grass and plants in yard. It does not repel them by spraying the dog or cat. Spray the yard completely. If there is a heavy infestation, repeat in 5 days and every two weeks thereafter. That should be sufficient to keep the insects out of the yard.

Can I keep mosquitoes off my child by spraying her?
|
No. Mosquito Barrier does not work when sprayed on people to keep insects away. Mosquito Barrier only removes feeding areas. See explanation next to Mosquito photo above. |
|
If I don't use all the Mosquito Barrier, will it stay good until next year?
|
Put the lid on tight, store it in a cool place and it should last for about two years. In a refrigerator at 40 degrees, it will last several years. |
|
Can I use a hose-end garden sprayer to put the Mosquito Barrier in and spray my yard?
|
Yes. Not as precise as a canister sprayer, but it works OK. Most of these hose-end containers hold a quart and dilute about thirty parts water to one part Mosquito Barrier and the droplet size is large. If you choose to use it, put the entire quart of Mosquito Barrier into the container (do not dilute it beforehand) and spray away. |
| What is the best way to use a hose-end garden sprayer? |
The fastest way is just to fill the hose-end container with Mosquito Barrier, screw on the garden hose and spray away. Normally it takes about 7 minutes to empty the container with the garden hose on full blast, so you need to be quick, or fill it again until you have covered everything we recommend. |
|
I have a 2-gallon canister sprayer. What would be my formula of Mosquito Barrier and water?
|
Use 2 ounces of Mosquito Barrier for each gallon of liquid. For 2 gallons of total spray put in 4 ounces of Mosquito Barrier. Be sure to add the same amount of either canola oil, soy bean oil or cotton seed oil as you do Mosquito Barrier and one tablespoon of soap per gallon of water. |
| Why is a gallon of Mosquito Barrier the perfect size? |
You will normally use between a pint and a quart at each spraying, you may need to spray for 3 or 4 times during the Summer mosquito season. Also, you can save it for next year! Put a cap on and put in cool place and it will be good for next season. Many customers share with their neighbors. |
|
What are the types of oil that I can use with Mosquito Barrier?
|
You may use: canola oil, cotton seed oil, soy bean oil (refined and degummed), or as last resort, any vegetable oil. Use same amount of oil as Mosquito Barrier, or 1.5 to 2 ounces per gallon of total spray. |
| Do I really have to use soap and canola or soybean oil? |
No. Excellent results are achieved by mixing one part of Mosquito Barrier with 99 parts of water and spraying everything. The oil helps with standing water and puddles for suffocation of larvae. |
| Where can I buy Canola oil? |
At Costco, Sam's Club or any grocery store. |
| How does a film of oil on water kill mosquito larvae? |
The natural oils found in Mosquito Barrier and the sticker (canola or other oil) clog the snorkel that the mosquito larvae use to breathe. |
