does that work with flies too????

Minor point, only the females suck blood, kinda like in some other species I could mention.

The garlic should work to shoo off vampires. But does it also work for mosquitos?

Must not be a French Mosquito.

Having Bad Taste can be a good thing.

mosquito word of mouth?

I wonder is this remedy would work for bedbugs.

Those two boys are smarter than I thought!

I’m allergic to garlic.

I wonder if that works. One of the problems that I had when I visited Korea is that everyone smelled like garlic for the first three days. After eating the local cuisine, I stopped noticing the smell. Then when I came home, everyone told me I smelled like garlic for the first three days.

Reminds me of an animated short about mosquitos I saw on late night PBS decades ago… it was very bizarre and gross.

A natural repellent. Who says natural is always better?

It repels more than just mosquitos!

Malaria.

Mosquitoes aren’t into ‘additives.’

This actually works if you eat enough garlic. But everybody in your family and friends has to do it too, or they will avoid you, as well.

We spray our yard / trees / shrubs / building walls / foundation – basically everything around the house with 4oz of garlic oil mixed to 1 gal of water – we found it keeps the mosquitoes away – lasts about 3 weeks if no rain or sprinkler system – learned about it from Disney Land tips and tricks – they use it so the pest don’t bother the guests… Does not kill the good bugs (bees, lightning bugs and butterflies) – We also found it does not keep the ticks / flies or wasps away…

Might repel more than mosquitoes with that stuff.

Ha, not in my family. Now she is going out to everyone and saying something like. “You just gotta try this one. He’s awful. Just awful. Prove me wrong.”

One day we might have sterile mosquitoes with the CRISPR gene, but time will tell if it works out.

Wonder if it works on vampires?

Hmm? Is it really good to drink bleech to avoid mosquitos??? What’s in the bottle… Garlic? Ahhh, bleech also mean “not tasting good”, and “bleach” has a different spelling! :D

Her friends.

I wish it would work. I’m a prime target of those bloodthirsty buggers!

Is it topical or did BC drink it?

I simply insert a garlic bulb suppository. Do not do this in Italy.

AKA birth control elixir

I hate the taste and smell of garlic. Only like onions if they have been cooked.

ah… a cunning plan.

“Her”

So, garlic it is for warding off mosquitos. I don’t eat a lot of it, but maybe it’s in the blood from all the Italian ancestors of mine. My wife has none, so maybe that’s why she gets attacked so badly.
