I use a very similiar recipe for a garden sprayexcept I use Dr. Bronners soap because it’s certified organic. I usually mix equal parts of the lavender with the eucalyptus..works like a charm!

I just came upon your site and find it very interesting. I am wondering if I can spray my apple trees in December to rid my trees of overwintering bugs. Thanks Peter

Hi Peter
You do not mention where you live. However, if you live in areas such as in Canada where we are now transitioning into harsh winter weather, no it is too late to spray your trees. The bugs cannot hurt the trees in subzero weather as they too are frozen.

Trees are sprayed whenever the temperature is above the freezing point and remains above the freezing point even at night. That’s when the insect community comes to life so must be destroyed.
Please read the article when to spray fruit trees which you will find under the heading Insect Control.
The article explains in detail the best time to do your spraying and in it is a link to another article about the different types of natural spray you can use. Of course I’m biased as I prefer the homemade spray detailed in the article “Homemade Fruit Tree Spray”.

If you are not getting any rough winter as we are having in Canada, and you are having mild weather, you can spray any time – especially if you are using the homemade spray. Read the articles mentioned above for more information.

I had this page bookmarked a while in the past but my laptop crashed. I have since gotten a new one and it took me a while to locate this! I also really like the design though.

Good job right here. I actually enjoyed what you had to say. Keep going because you definitely bring a new voice to this topic. Not many people would say what youve said and still make it interesting. Well, at least Im interested. Cant wait to see far more of this from you.

Karina– (Nicasio)– is the spelling of my name … Indoors I adjust the spray nozzle, on a small spray bottle, to a fine mist, spraying along the continuous length of ceiling and wall corners– ceiling to floor. (The indoor spraying is effective for long periods of time which I repeat only if I see a build up of mosquitoes in their known resting places. I do not apply or wipe interior areas with a cloth.

My July 13, 2011 comment above gives more detail for additional spray areas. At http://www.mosquitobarrier.com you will learn of a commercial garlic based product that I would love to introduce to the Philippines or get assistance to develop a garlic based product here in the Philippines where more children than adults die from dengue fever. Garlic is a produce grown here.

Glad to see a response to my experimenting with a natural garlic base product.

Thank you for responding so quickly to Karina’s question. She will be happy to get your response.

I went over to the http://mosquitobarrier.com website and read about their garlic spray. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if people in the Philippines somehow got access to this product or something like it. On a small scale they could use the watered down homemade garlic spray inside and for outside use it full strength. They could add the canola oil and the liquid soap to treat still water.

I was amazed to read that this “mosquito barrier” liquid, which is almost pure garlic liquid, also got rid of grasshoppers, ticks, fleas, gnats, and even fire ants. The best part is that it is not toxic to animals, people, or the environment. Gosh, I am almost as excited as you are at the possibility that some day people in the Philippines or other hot countries can get rid of mosquitoes and thus eliminate the dengue fever once and for all.
