Has anyone tried this?

I have a friend who swears by it and all the testimonials on-line
seem positive. The thing I like about it is that it's all natural
and supposedly safe for the enviornment.

I treat yards professionally for mosquitoes and had several of last
year customers that were having the yard treated earlier this year
with the garlic sprays...two were doing it themselves the third was
using EcoSafe pest control and they all called me back due to lack of
results with the garlic spray.

but, but it's environmentally friendly.

That's such a loaded question... Is just where you live environmentally
friendly...chances are just living where your home was built has vastly
disturbed the natural eco system, the house itself is just one large
assortment of man made chemicals..the land was probably totally changed
and the grade was altered where the home was built, the natural reptiles
and mammals of the natural "environment" are no longer found where you
now live in the original numbers. Most people have landscapes that have
nothing to do with their natural environments which definitely not make
it "friendly" to the local environment. Now if you are asking if the
terrible insecticide is bio degradable?..yes...does it kill other
insects than mosquito? yes...does it kill vegetation? no...does it kill
lizards/frogs?, no...does it kill the birds?, no.
