Garlic Barrier is marvelous for farm, home garden or lawn care and is completely safe around people, pets, animals and fish. Garlic Barrier in the one quart size is made from a strong liquid garlic concentrate that has more oil, so it does not have to be mixed with a “sticker” like the gallon size. When diluted with water and sprayed on garden plants or ornamentals, it will keep insects off. To properly mix, dilute 10:1 or 1 cup of Garlic Barrier to 10 cups of water. Diluted quarts cover approximately 15,000 square feet. Just spray it on your plants about once a week.

The garlic odor diminishes in about 30 minutes as the plants absorb it, so people are not bothered. Garlic Barrier travels through the plant systemically, protecting roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. It does not change the taste or smell for humans or livestock, but insects can’t stand the natural sulfurs absorbed from the garlic. Insects that do come looking for a meal or a place to lay their eggs are repelled for 1-2 weeks, depending on the insect and conditions.

Garlic Barrier may be applied to foliage or in the furrow on top of the seeds as they are planted. Early application to the seeds helps repel nematodes or other grubs from the seedlings. If applying to foliage, always spray early, between 7:30 AM and 11:00 AM, when plants have their stomata open so that more Garlic Barrier will go in quickly.

In addition, Garlic Barrier lasts up to 2 years if you tightly cap it and store it in a cool place. Refrigerated at 40° it can last 3 years.
