I just found this online, and I'm curious if anybody has used this product?
I currently have a major tick problem, and I know the skeeters are coming soon- so a safe, effective repellant/killer would be great.

My MIL recently sent me an email about spritzing lysol around patios and porches to repel 'squiters-don't know if ThAT works.

Thanks
I'm thinking that since the product is nothing but garlic, I'll buy a large jar of minced garlic, add water to make a concentrate, then put it in my sprayer. I'm going to have to spray a lot of area...
One thing's for sure- I won't be having any problems with vampires

Now that I reread your post you mention a product but didn't list the product - I overlooked that the first time - what product was it?
Ooops - might it be 'Mosquito Barrier'??

I checked that Barrier stuff out. It sure sounded good, but it is a bit pricey if it doesn't work. If anyone tries it, let us know how it works.

That's what I was thinking too Witt- very pricey! That's why I'm going to try making my own with store-bought minced garlic.
Last evening the kids were playing with some friends in the yard, and those skeeters are sure coming out in force!
