About Garlic Oil

 

Garlic Oil for Mosquitoes?   You must be joking!

There are a lot of tools for do-it-yourself pest control, but one of most unique and natural products is Garlic oil.

And you’re exactly right, it’s the smell.   

Garlic oil does have an extremely strong odor, and like you and I, mosquitoes can’t stand the smell.  

A topical application of garlic is not considered as effective some of the pesticides a professional uses, but you may consider directly applying garlic to a mosquito problem area in order to disperse their presence.

The odor isn’t as strong once applied and dried but does help in repelling mosquitoes from an area you want to frequent.

This means it’s ideal for spraying prior to a big event, where you simply need to keep a heavy population away or dispersed from that area.  But it won’t repel every mosquito, so don’t expect to be completely mosquito-free.

The product sold for mosquito control is a concentrated oil, where the percentage of the terpenes responsible for the smell is further concentrated.

 

Ready-To-Use Garlic Oil Spray

Garlic oil is sold in Canada under the trade name Mosquito-less, and it has been tested for both safety and efficacy by Health Canada. 

Mosquito-less has been in the market several years, with many repeat customers seeking a safer alternative.  It will give several weeks of good repellency, and then taper off over the next few weeks.

Consider a hose end application every 3 weeks to reduce the problem areas and dispersing a heavy infested area.
