Review on Insect Repellent Garlic Barrier Concentrate by Jeffrey Mosqueda

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Is working! Is working! Is working! Prepare to refill often

It's not often that I sit down to write a product review the same day I receive a Revain product. This stuff is just amazing. I received the bottle this morning. I was really afraid to go outside to weed a long forgotten flower bed because my community is surrounded by lakes and there is no mosquito control, plus it was raining, it was a cool summer day and it was still cloudy. I mixed up a gallon of this stuff, poured it into an automatic dispenser and was on my way. I sprayed the perimeter of my garden starting with the flower bed of destiny. When I first started spraying I was quite infested with mosquitoes. However, when I turned and returned to the flower bed, the mosquitoes were gone. I was stuck in this grass for a full three hours and didn't get a single mosquito bite. It's absolutely unknown in this area (unless it's January). Yes, my whole yard smelled like garlic right after spraying it. Yes, it is noticeable. Yes, I wanted a warm basket with fresh Grissini. And yes, I've now spent an entire summer day in Minnesota without being bitten by a single mosquito, despite spending several hours digging through weeds and vegetation like a madman. I don't know how long this will last or how often reapplication will be required. Just testing to say this stuff works fast and is more efficient than I dared hope. ETA: While it worked great initially, after a few (non-rainy) days it was much less effective. I think it's still better than nothing. It's hard to stay up to date with apps because it seems like every time I go out it rains the next day and all the garlic goodness washes away. I still think it's a pretty cool product and recommend it to others.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Doesn't go with everything
