    A
    Mosquito Barrier will keep the mosquitoes away for a few days but keep in mind that spraying Mosquito Barrier on porous surfaces such as brick or concrete will only provide a residual for a few days so more frequent applications may be required.

  • Asked by Josh from Miami, Fl
    02/18/2014
    Q
    Can I use this product in the same sprayer that I use Phantom?
    I have heard that mixing certain types of product in the same sprayer may negate one or the other. Something about repellents vs non-repellents.
    A
    It is always best to use separate sprayers for different insectices and/or repellants. However, if that is not an option then you can perform a "triple rinse". A triple rinse involves filling up your sprayer tank with clean water and spraying the entire contents of the sprayer out and repeating this process 2 additonal times. This is to ensure that the lines and tank are cleaned out completely as to prevent cross contamination.

  • Asked by Shauna from Manvel, Nd

    Q
    If this lasts up to 1 month, what happens (meaning how effective is it) after i mow my yard?
    If I apply the spray, wait 48 hours and mow my yard, will it still work?
    A
    Mowing your yard should not affect your application of Mosquito Barrier as the Mosquito Barrier should be applied to the underside of leaves of bushes, shrubs, ornamentals, and low lying tree branches, not necessarily to the turf itself. The underside of the leaves is where mosquitos tend to land and rest during the day.

    Q
    Are there any scents you can add to the Mosquito Barrier to reduce the smell?
    It is very potent and was wondering if I could add some type of scent to mask the garlic smell.
    A

    There is nothing that can be added to the Mosquito Barrier to reduce the smell as that garlic smell is what repels insects from the area in the first place. The smell of the garlic juice will become unnoticeable to humans within a few minutes and will only be strong during and right after application.

  • Asked by Doug from Estevan , Canada
    07/07/2014
    Q
    Which is better mosquito barrier or Talstar for Mosquitoes in yard
    A
    Talstar P is our most popular product for killing mosquitoes with a residual of up to 30 days outside and is not going to be much of a repellent.  It is labeled for over 75 differents pests as well so will kill more than just mosquitoes.  Mosquito Barrier is fast becoming the most popular for a repellent, but is only going to kill the adults that you make contact with while applying the product but is said to repel for 24 hours - 30 days.  The choice is really in what you are looking for a in a product, a repellent or a product that will kill over time.

    A

    There is nothing that can be added to the Mosquito Barrier to reduce the smell as that garlic smell is what repels insects from the area in the first place. The smell of the garlic oil will become unnoticeable to humans within a few minutes and will only be strong during and right after application. It could take 24 hrs or so to kill unless sprayed directly and it offers a 4 week residual.

    Q
    Will Mosquito Barrier work on my deck which is 12' above ground?
    We can't sit out day or night because of the skeeters
    A

    Mosquito Barrier is meant to be applied to lawns, ornamentals, and trees, not hard surfaces like wood.  It should be applied to the underside of leaves of bushes, shrubs, ornamentals, and low lying tree branches as that is where the adults lay during the day and it will help to repel them from areas it is applied to which can help around the porch if close enough.  Otherwise something like the Dynatrap Indoor / Outdoor Insect Trap with Optional Wall Mount (DT1100) could be used up on the deck.

  • Asked by Esb from Indianapolis, In
    03/30/2017
    Q
    What can be added to Mosquito Barrier to help increase its residual?
    Are there any NON-CHEMICAL products that could be added to Mosquito Barrier in a backpack sprayer to make it either more effective or have a longer residual time? Also, are there any traditional, chemical-based products that could be added to it for the same purpose?
    A

    For non chemical products there are not a lot of options to increase the residual. You could potentially mix the Mosquito Barrier (that while states it has a residual is more of a temporary repellent and contact kill) with an all natural insecticide like Essentria IC3. Essentria will typically hold up to the outdoor elements around 30 days depending on the weather as all natural oil based products tend to break down in sunlight faster than chemical residual products. 

    For chemical products you could go with something like Bifen or Suspend Polyzone for a longer residual. But here's the issue with using any residual killing insecticide whether natural/non chemical or chemical based with Mosquito Barrier. 

    While you could tank mix the two, the Mosquito Barrier is going to work against the effectiveness of the residual product for probably at least the first week or two. You are spraying Bifen/Suspend Poly/Essentria on surfaces moquitoes would land on and harbor in so that when they touch the treated surface they pick it up on their bodies and die from it. If you are spraying Mosquito Barrier you are using it to repel the mosquitoes away from areas you dont want them or are trying to keep them from harboring. So essentially by mixing the two together, you are repelling the mosquitoes away from the Bifen/Suspend Poly/Essentria to not die from it. Outside of an initial contact kill the mosquito barrier isn't going to provide killing action for you long term, only repellency. The residual products are actually the better products to use on a consistent basis in main target areas on the property where mosquitoes would be found, and use the Mosquito Barrier around patios and hang out areas to keep them at bay until they have died from landing on the residual product treated surfaces. 

    That being said, if you choose to go with suedo chemical products, using an IGR (Nyguard or Tekko) to help stop the reproductive cycle of the mosquitoes or a larvacide (Altosid)  in standing water areas on or near the property where the main problem could be imminating from should drastically increase the results you see long term as well.
