How does Mosquito Barrier it work?
Mosquito Barrier is a comprehensive insect repellent. It first works by killing adult mosquitoes and larvae, and then it coats the grass, shrubs, and any other plant it is applied to. This will repel mosquitoes from returning to your yard and garden. You can also use Mosquito Barrier in any water sources you have around your home. Simply mix Mosquito Barrier with some canola oil. You can easily find canola oil at your local grocery store. You will need:
· 4 ounces of Mosquito Barrier
· 2 ounces of canola oil
· 1 tsp dish soap
Mix this solution into 1 gallon of water and pour it into standing water to coat any standing water so it will suffocate the mosquito larvae. The oil and garlic mix will remain on the water’s surface to kill larvae and deter adult mosquitoes from laying more eggs.
For use in your yard and garden, you will need a sprayer. They are easily found at Lowes, Home Depot, or Canadian Tire. Mix 4 ounces of Mosquito Barrier to a gallon of water, and spray garlic liberally around your yard and garden.
These treatments should be applied about an hour before the sun goes down.
Mosquito Barrier uses the extract from garlic known as Allium Sativum. This extract has insect repellent properties. One of these properties is Sulphur, which is toxic to mosquitoes and works excellently to repel them. The garlic oil also affects the mosquito’s respiratory system. When a mosquito is in contact with the oil, it becomes suffocated from the garlic oil.

The dangers of chemical mosquito repellents
When Spraying chemicals in your yard or garden, you may be killing more than mosquitoes. You are also spraying beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, as well as any wildlife that eats your grass or comes into your yard. Most pesticides are a broad-spectrum solution and are non-specific. If beneficial insects are being wiped out, the 
ecosystem in your yard and garden will suffer and possibly have a resurgence of mosquitoes since there are no more natural predators.
Pesticides also contribute to chemical pollution and harm our environment. Residue from the chemicals can accumulate in water, soil, and the atmosphere having long-lasting effects and possibly affecting your health as well as your family.
