Default Mosquitos, Garlic repellent

Ordered, received, and tried this stuff.

At least in our yard...it does NOT work.

Tried multiple applications. Different strengths. With and without
soap/oil. No change in skeeter population.

Unused portion went in the mail this morning for refund.

Our backyard is INFESTED with mosquitos. You could walk outside at any time
of day and within 5 minutes have 10 or 20 bites. There is no standing water
whatsoever in our yard, the gutters are clean. I think we have bad neighbors
is all.

So...

We just bought the 1 quart bottle of this:

and last night sprayed it all over the backyard with a hose end sprayer. So
far so good. I went out this morning and didnt see any mosquitos.

Has anyone else had any experience with this product or products like it?
What concentration did you use? How much have you gone through? How long has
it lasted?
