Mosquito Barrier
Garlic Barrier
 |
Repels adult mosquitoes
from their usual resting places, especially on the the undersides of
leaves. Kills larvae when applied to breeding areas of stagnant
water. |
Mix one part Mosquito Barrier or Garlic Barrier with
a hundred parts of water. (Note: quart and pint sizes are
already diluted - use 10 parts water in this case.)
For example, mix 1.25 ounces of Mosquito or
Garlic Barrier with 1 gallon of water. Add 1.25 ounces of a "sticker",
such as canola oil, soy bean oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid
dishwashing soap. Spray areas of the garden where you want to control
mosquitoes, including the plantings, foliage, and lawn areas where they
rest. The best times to spray are before mid-morning or late afternoon
towards dusk. Note: avoid spraying areas where you require plant
pollination (Mosquito Barrier will keep bees away too). |
Mosquito Larvicide
|
Kills larvae and pupa
stages of mosquitoes. It is designed for surface application to
intermittently flooded areas, temporary rain pools, sloughs, and log
ponds.. It does not smear or deface the environment with dark, filmy oils
or residues. Active ingredients include mineral oil (98%) and inert
materials (2%). Can be used all season long and does not depend on life
cycle timing for effectiveness. |
Mix with water as per
instructions and shake well before using. Avoid solid stream, high
pressure or high velocity applications. Apply to leave a thin film over
surface of breeding areas. Include treatment of drainage ditches, catch
basins, stagnant pools, and open sewage basins to improve overall control.
Since high pressures or high velocities are not needed, lighter less
expensive equipment can be effectively used. Since mosquitoes can hatch in
5 to 7 days of warm weather, any exposed stagnant water should be
treated. |
