Garlic VS Mosquitoes

[1eyejer]

I keep hearing about this concentrated garlic juice that people are fogging their properties with, its kinda expensive and has anyone ever made their own? i am planning on making my own and using a pressure washer to spray the trees. I also hear that vanilla extract is a good repellant, maybe i will put some in my recipe..we seem to have 5 mosquitoes for every blade of grass on the property( no joke) any thoughts,suggestions,warnings please comment..Thanks in advance

We had a terrible mosquito problem last summer here in North Texas. we couldn't walk 40 feet without being covered with them. We decided to try the garlic spray. bought a gallon. now I swear by it!! I use a pump up sprayer and just walk along. we are also going to plant garlic all over the yard and garden. yes, it's pricey, but for us it works great. also, it doesn't harm our chickens which was another reason we used it instead of the chemical sprays. good luck!
