Organic Garden Pest Control with Garlic Barrier
Bugs in the garden — a gardener’s worst nightmare. You want an organic garden and don’t want to use chemical insecticides, but you also want a harvest! You’ve researched natural methods and remedies, tried countless suggestions, yet nothing has really worked.
That was me before I discovered Garlic Barrier. It’s a natural insect repellent that actually works — praise be!
Garlic in the Garden
Using garlic in the garden isn’t exactly new. I’ve seen tips for planting garlic among crops, sprinkling garlic powder around plants, and even grinding fresh garlic to make homemade sprays.
But Garlic Barrier makes life much simpler. It’s a potent concentrate made from 99% pure garlic extract, ready to dilute with water to your desired strength. A little goes a long way, making it both effective and economical.
What Does Garlic Barrier Repel?
The label has a long list of insects that Garlic Barrier helps repel, but some common garden pests include:
Aphids, beetles, caterpillars, cutworms, loopers, maggots, weevils, whiteflies, wireworms, hornworms, armyworms, leaf miners, thrips, borers, mealybugs, fruit worms, earworms, grasshoppers, mites, rootworms, grubs, flea hoppers, webworms, slugs, tuber worms, moths, ants, mosquitoes, and ticks.
Besides insects, I’ve recently discovered it also helps repel deer, armadillos, rabbits, and field mice. I only wish I had known that before the rabbits had their fill of my green bean sprouts!
How to Use Garlic Barrier
I mix 2 ounces of Garlic Barrier per 1 gallon of water in a pump sprayer, and give the plants a thorough coat. I’ve found it very effective on both my garden crops and fruit trees, as well as flowers.
Since there are small bits of garlic in the concentrate, I recommend running it through a filter before adding it to the sprayer. This helps prevent clogging.
I usually spray my garden early in the morning before the sun is directly shining on the plants, or late in the evening before sunset. I generally avoid spraying foliage — even with the water sprinkler — during the heat of the day because I don’t want to risk scorching the leaves.
A Note About Pollinators
Though I haven’t personally had this issue, it stands to reason that Garlic Barrier could potentially repel pollinators as well. Because of that, I try not to spray blooms directly whenever possible.
Consistency Is Key
I spray my garden weekly, or anytime I notice bugs on my plants. Like most things, being proactive is key. If you wait until you have a full-blown infestation, it becomes much harder to get the problem under control.
If you’ve been searching for a natural way to protect your garden without chemicals, Garlic Barrier is worth trying. It has become one of the garden staples I keep on hand throughout the growing season.
