Garlic Barrier 2002 AG+ Liquid Spray, 1 Gallon, White

I read an article on Disney World and how they rid their park of mosquitos. Upon learning that they utilized a garlic spray, I immediately went into research mode. I found this formula and have been purchasing it ever since. I have found that it works great and even burns if it gets on you due to the capscasin (derived from the seeds of hot peppers).I have also discovered that it not only keeps mosquitos away, but also mammals. Anything that has taste buds (so no birds) will avoid the area of this spray. If they do bite into it, they quickly go into a tongue flapping routine to spit it out and then associate the smell as NOPE, forever.I spray it on any vegetation that my wife wishes to protect from deer, rabbits, squirrels, and any other creature that enjoys munching on her plants and garden. As for myself, I've used it to protect my fruit trees/bushes every year (the only thing I wish is that I knew about this product a year prior).No mosquitos or other leafy consuming insects; No plant and garden destroyers. No fuss and long lasting.Cons:Having said the above, it is best to spray this when you know it wont be raining for a stretch of time or else you'll be reapplying it after each rain to keep up with it's effectiveness.If you let this stuff sit on your skin, you'll become sensitive in that area until you wash it off.

The smell disappears rather quickly (couple hours). It doesn't eliminate mosquitos, but it helps.

It doesnt last very long, especially after it rains, but I’ll reapply as often as neccessary just so i don't have to use toxic chemicals.

Bought this after a review mentioned it had helped his peach tree. My peach tree had some fungus issues last summer so figured I’d give it a try. While out spraying, I hit a row of pine trees we’d planted a few years ago. One was dead, a couple others were dying and a couple were doing just ok. I sprayed all of them, really to just hit any ticks that were on them. A week later hubby noticed the pines looked really good. The dead tree had a patch of green on it (in fairness, I might not have noticed it before. If it gets greener, I’ll update this review) but another tree that was about to give up the ghost suddenly revived and put out new growth, and the others looked vibrant with new growth. These trees had been struggling since we planted them so to see an almost immediate explosion of new needles is a great testament to this product. The peach tree also has some nice growth on it. I couldn’t do the math with 99-1 so the spray was definitely stronger than recommended. The odor went away pretty quickly. I’m going to spray again, hopefully encourage the mosquitoes to scat.

BEWARE - this stuff is so concentrated - instead of keeping bugs off - it might just mortally wound your trees & plants. Don't dilute sparingly ... overdilute if you want to make sure your plants will be safe.

I woke up one day and saw my leaves turning yellow and curling. I took a photo of the tree and searched with Google ai and it told me it has Taphrina Deformans, a fungal infection. Many websites were saying this is really bad and that you have to wait till fall after it fruits to spray with a harsh chemical and then there's a small chance it might survive. I'm thinking "it's only May and by the time fall rolls around my tree will die." Thank goodness to a blog that recommended this garlic spray and said to spray once a week and my tree will be healthy again. The reviews on here said the same thing, which gave me hope.After the second week the leaves on my tree look greener and no more curling. I'm shocked that these arbor university websites are saying "oh well, it might be gone" and a farmer just says "go spray some garlic" and it completely revives it.

Wow, it really works!!! Several of my genetic dwarf peaches and nectarines were infected with peach leaf curl. 90%+ articles you'll encounter warn that there's nothing you can do once you've got a an active Taphrina Deformans fungul infection in/on your trees during the growing season.The standard refrain from the experts is that you've got to apply a fungicide during the dormant season - fall/winter, but nothing can be done during the growing season. Much of this conventional wisdom is coming from university agricultural extensions that should be current with the latest management techniques, but that doesn't seem to be the case.No matter, I found several articles mentioning garlic oil. I bought this Garlic Barrier 2002 AG+ and started spraying it immediately. I nearly lost one tree that had been seriously denuded by the fungus, but after a couple of weeks it has recovered and has substantial healthy new growth!I wish I had some before pics, but I didn't have the foresight - I was distraught over the damage. However, I have included a pic of a leaf that had been infected with the fungus, but has stabilized after receiving the garlic treatment. Notice how now it's the fungus that is dying while the remainder of the leaf is thriving! How you like me now, fungus??? Whut!!! ;-)I highly recommend this liquid garlic concentrate. It's very potent and you dilute at a 99:1 ratio. I also add oregano/rosemary/lavender/peppermint oil in small amounts to ward off other pest when spraying. I don't have any set methodology for those. I just add whatever I feel like at the time.Best of luck!
