Mosquito Barrier
Due to our neighbor’s stagnant above-ground pool, we’ve been dealing with mosquitoes again this spring / summer. The buggers usually don’t get near me, but Melissa gets eaten alive out there sometimes. So, instead of getting an annoying zapper or hosing the backyard with chemicals, I’m trying a green solution of using Mosquito Barrier, which is a liquid treatment composed of potent garlic cloves.
Apparently, garlic’s natural sulfur repels all kinds of insects, and farmers have been using products like this for generations. Hopefully it works! I just sprayed down our little yard and it reeks like 5 loaves of garlic bread beneath your nose.
