After much research and web surfing and comparing and all, we finally decided on a product called Mosquito Barrier.
It was just too much. Everytime we went outside, we were being harvested by a cloud of these nasty dudes. They were EVERYWHERE and day or evening, didn’t matter. And getting in to the Moby all the time, it was dreadful. I remember it being fairly bad last year, but we were working inside so much, that we would crank the air conditioners and that seemed to stop them inside.
But, I finally was contemplating mass murder with heavy stuff, it was so bad. But thankfully, I didn’t… and found this stuff.
So far… success.
It’s all natural, and it’s basically pure garlic oil. With a touch of citric acid… I believe to keep the stuff stable. Safe for kids, dogs, plants, etc. You just mix a couple ounces to a gallon of water and start spraying all over. You know… we found the two areas that they are really hanging out in… the wheat field and that big evergreen tree.
Reason we know? The minute we started to spray those two areas? A CLOUD swarmed out and away… it was amazing. They HATE that stuff.
We used about 8 ounces, from the big 32 ounce bottle… with two gallons or so of water.
Sprayed everywhere… grass, trees, plants, all over. And it has a pleasant smell, it’s not bad. Makes you crave Italian food though…
We’ll repeat it in a week, to really make sure it’s good, but they claim that you can apply it like once a month after you first get the area under control. And let me tell you… we were out the very next day, in the evening… and we only saw a couple brave souls out… it has SEVERELY reduced the numbers! It was wonderful! We actually enjoyed the evening outside without being covered in welts!
I think we’re on to something….
