Garlic & Mosquitoes.
There's a product out there called "Mosquito Barrier"
(http://www.mosquitobarrier.com) that purports to effectively stink skeeters out of your yard. This is done by using a garlic extract -- the "fragrance" goes away quickly for us big noses, but for the skeeters hyper-sniffers it lingers. They claim it can even be used in a fogger, with oils or soap, and so forth -- sounds too good to be true. I've heard of similar solutions (i.e., those using garlic extracts) but I can't say as I've ever met someone who has used them. Naturally, there are all sorts of testimonials but if this stuff is so great then why are resmethrin, pyrmethrin, and other pesticides being used instead? Makes one wonder.... Someone mentioned this on another group I'm in and I remembered I wanted to learn more about it a while back, so I thought I'd post over here. Has anyone actually USED this product or one of the similar products? If so, how effective was it and how long did the effects last? James |
