CITIES' MOSQUITO SPRAYING DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD

GLENDALE, CA, August 25, 2004 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Mosquito control by the majority of U.S. cities is comprised of spray trucks running down the middle of the road spewing out a mild poison in a mist, which drifts for a few feet off the road and settles. The mosquitoes are in the yards, sides of houses and back yards where the trucks never go. Mosquitoes live from sucking plant juices - they are in the grass, trees, shrubs and those are the areas that need spraying.

These city trucks may be doing more damage than good by killing birds, bees, butterflies and beneficial insects and a few paltry mosquitoes.

Garlic Research Labs, Inc. of Glendale, California discovered that while eating garlic will not keep mosquitoes away from you, spraying it on your yard - on the grass, shrubs and into trees will keep mosquitoes away for up to three and four weeks per spraying.

They developed and market an extremely strong garlic extract just for that purpose which chases out any mosquitoes that happen to be present and keeps other mosquitoes from entering your yard.

The garlic spray becomes odorless to humans in about an hour, but not to mosquitoes which have a heightened sense of smell some 10,000 times more sensitive than humans.

Spraying garlic on plants to keep insects away is not a totally new idea, master gardeners and organic gardeners have been doing it for decades to keep aphids, spider mites and other insects away from flowers and garden plants.

Garlic Research Labs, Inc. makes their potent garlic available to home owners factory-direct from their website at http://www.MosquitoBarrier.com.

If you don't want to spray poisons and you are interested in an all natural way of getting rid of mosquitoes you might check out their website.

As a bonus, the spray also simultaneously chases ticks out of the yard.
