How to mix & apply Mosquito Barrier
MIXING & SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LARGE AREAS (5 ACRES OR MORE): (Parks, Golf Courses, Ball Fields, etc.)
1 gallon of Mosquito Barrier mixed with 99 gallons of water. Mix well.
If there are areas of standing water add 1 gallon of either canola, soy bean or cotton oil. The oil helps with standing water and puddles for suffocation of larvae.
lf large areas of foliage are present add 8 ounces of Palmolive liquid dishwashing soap to use as a sticker.
MIXING & SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEDIUM SIZED AREAS (1 - 5 ACRES):
Best results are achieved by using 20 gallons of water per acre, plus 25 ounces of one of our recommended oils and 2 ounces of soap. Using a droplet size of 350-400 microns or medium size mist (not large droplets) cover all grass, standing water, shrubs, into tree branches up to about 12 feet and under porches and decks where water may be standing. Spray the shorelines of creeks or ponds (mosquitoes are also born in mud). Best spraying time is late in the afternoon 1 hour before sundown.
No harmful chemicals, safe around children and pets when used as directed, and is biodegradable.
MIXING & SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL PLOTS:
The formula is 11/2 ounces of Mosquito Barrier per gallon of water. Mix well and spray. Pump-Up sprayers are inexpensive and can be purchased with your Mosquito Barrier. Go to the pump up sprayer page.
Note: Equal measurements of Canola or other oil and 1 table spoon of soap (see above for soap types) will enhance the mixture for wet areas or dense foliage.
Garden hose-end sprayers may be used but are generally not very accurate and the droplet size is larger than really desired. However, if you do use a Garden hose-end sprayer - there are two types, one type has a dial for ounces per gallon and the other does not have a dial. For both types completely fill the container with undiluted Mosquito Barrier, on the dial type , set the dial on 2 ounces per gallon, or 4 tablespoons per gallon. 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.
One gallon of Mosquito Barrier is enough for the whole Summer mosquito season. Sprayed every 3 weeks, for the average half acre residential lot, one gallon is enough for 10 applications, if necessary.
Mosquito Barrier is patented.
