Mosquito Barrier
Mosquito Repellent | Flea & Tick Repellent | Natural Mosquito Control "A garlic-based natural mosquito repellent and tick repellent for effective mosquito control. " America's Only Mosquito, Tick And Flea Repellent For Grassy Areas, Yards & Parks. Just one spraying will keep mosquitoes, ticks and fleas out of your yard and away from your home, 24 hours a day for nearly a month. Being used right now by City Governments for parks, golf courses and school grounds - because it works Mosquito Barrier is a very strong liquid garlic made from very potent garlic cloves. The garlic used in Mosquito Barrier is a very powerful variety which is much more potent than the garlic found in grocery stores. Garlic has a natural sulfur which repels insects, including mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. Since mosquitoes are soft-bodied insects the garlic juice can be very toxic to them in increased concentrations. The juice does not harm humans or pets or plants, but to mosquitoes it can be deadly. The odor of it chases them out of the area and they stay away - for as long as they can detect the odor. While the odor of sprayed garlic juice becomes undetectable to humans within minutes, the mosquitoes will still detect it. Mosquitoes have extremely sensitive odor sensing antennae - as high as 10,000 times better than humans. They can detect the garlic extract for much longer periods of time and will stay away from the sprayed area for up to a month and more. If the mosquitoes aren't in your yard, they can't get into your house. Additionally, Mosquito Barrier, when mixed with soybean oil (available at your local grocery store) plus the water, coats any standing water in the area with a very thin film of natural oil, including some garlic oil. This oil suffocates the mosquito larvae which are developing. Mosquito Barrier, unlike chemicals, doesn't kill the bees, butterflies or birds. Generally, four applications are enough for the entire mosquito and tick season for the average sized home and a Twin-Pak (two quarts) of Mosquito Barrier are all that are normally required. More info at: http://www.mosquitobarrier.com/facts.html Each quart covers 1.25 acres(54,450 square feet) $22.45 per Quart Quantity > (Plus shipping) Two quarts may be enough to last the entire Summer TWIN PACK $42.95 Quantity > (Plus $9.00 shipping) 1 Gallon covers 5 acres (217,800 square feet) $84.95 Quantity > (Free Shipping)

Scarify: Special treatment of seed to prepare for germination. Either scratching, or nicking the outer coating of the seed may be required.
Stratify: Special treatment of seed to prepare it for germination. This consists of cleaning and drying and subjecting them to low temperatures and possibly moisture for a specified period of time.
Infusion: Tea. Boiling water poured over the plant or parts of the plant (generally leaves) to extract its properties / essential oils. Usually one cup of water per teaspoon of herb is used.
Decoction: Tea A preparation made by boiling the plant or parts of the plant in water for a specified period of time and then straining, usually one cup of water per teaspoon of dried or three teaspoons of fresh herb (generally woody parts and seeds). Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Honey or an aromatic herb is usually added to improve the taste. Also used for compresses.

Synthetic pesticides are more of a threat to man than the insects. As each generation of insects become more immune, stronger and more potent chemicals are developed. Meanwhile we are absorbing these chemicals as they permeate our homes, gardens and lawns. We are also depleting the quality of our lives and poisoning the world around us. We hope that most American gardeners will help reverse this trend by utilizing natural pest deterrents that have been successful for generations.
