You should apply Mosquito Barrier when mosquitoes are most active to kill those on contact and start to create the barrier to repel. You should notice more mosquito activity in the morning, early afternoon and again after the sun goes down but not so much during the middle of the day. This is because the adult mosquitoes hide out during the heat of the day. They hide on the undersides of leaves on trees and bushes, in dense brush, tall grasses, under the overhangs on structures, under decks and in other moist shady areas. Concentrating your spray applications to these areas will help insure your application is effective as it is known that adult mosquitoes will land on these treated areas.
The product label for Mosquito Barrier states that it is safe for bees. I have attached a link to it below:
Mosquito Barrier contains Garlic - 99.3%.
Since Mosquito Barrier is a contact kill insecticide and then a repellent after it dries, we do not usually recommend mixing this with another insecticide as they could compete with each other and hinder results.
While you can mix Tekko Pro with Mosquito Barrier, it isn’t generally recommended, as Mosquito Barrier is a repellent and can prevent the mosquitoes from landing on the Tekko Pro.
One gallon of diluted solution of Mosquito Barrier will typically cover 1,000 sqft.
8 tsp (low infestation) to 16 tsp (heavy infestation) per gallon
Hose End Sprayer: 2 oz per gallon (or 12 tsp)

Mosquito Barrier is an all natural, super strong, liquid garlic based formula that will keep pests like gnats, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and ants out of your yard, golf courses, parks and fields. It does not contain chemicals so it is environmentally safe and safe for animals and humans. It does list on the label that it will repel dogs, butterflies, and songbirds.
Mosquito Barrier is not labeled for this type of application. It is really meant for treating outdoors in trees, shrubs, grass, and other plants and flowers. Using a product like Talstar P to treat around windows, doors, and around the perimeter of your home indoors and outdoors would be a better option. We would not recommend spraying the product directly on the screen.
Mosquito Barrier is oil based and could have the potential to leave an oily residue on some surfaces. We always recommend to test a small area before making your application.
The Mosquito Barrier label recommends using about 2.5 ounces of product per gallon of water for heavy infestations. For best results, make your application early in the morning or in the evening, when mosquitoes are most active. The metering rate when applying this product will be dependent upon how quickly you are walking during application. Unfortunately, we do not carry Stihl blowers so we cannot give you an exact answer.
While, Mosquito Barrier cannot be applied in a misting system, we recommend that you use a misting system concentrate for treatment.
Mosquito Barrier should only be applied through a tank/pump sprayer per the product label and mixed at the appropriate dilution rates listed for the area and treatment level you have in your yard.
A repellent like Mosquito Barrier or Mosquito X Ultra can be used and can repel for 24 hours up to 30 days.
No, unfortunatly Mosquito Barrier is not labeled for sandflies and would not be an effective product to use in treating for that insect. Try using Talstar or Onslaught as an alternative.
Yes, the Mosquito Barrier will work great in most any sprayer as long as it is properly diluted with water in the tank. You typically mix about 1.28 ounces of Mosquito Barrier per gallon of water.
