Natural Garlic Protection for Your Yard

ECG Mosquito Wall is made from 100% pure garlic oil, with no synthetic additives or preservatives. When applied properly, it forms a natural barrier that helps reduce tick and mosquito activity in treated areas. The strong sulfur compounds in garlic make lawns, shrubs, and shaded areas less attractive to pests like ticks.

Research-Based Evidence

Independent field research has shown that garlic oil formulations—like those used in ECG Mosquito Wall—can significantly reduce tick populations.

  • Product tested: Garlic-oil formulation equivalent to ECG Mosquito Wall
  • Target species: Ixodes scapularis (black-legged tick)
  • Results: Average reductions of 37 % (at 6 days), 59 % (at 11 days), and 47 % (at 18 days) after application

How It Works

  • Natural Repellency: Garlic’s sulfur compounds interfere with the tick’s ability to locate hosts, driving them away from treated areas.

  • Surface Residue: As garlic oil settles on vegetation and soil, it creates a short-term barrier ticks prefer to avoid

  • Plant-Safe Formula: Because ECG Mosquito Wall is 100% garlic oil, it can be applied to lawns, ornamental plants, shrubs, and trees without harming vegetation when used as directed.

ECG Mosquito Wall is a minimum-risk pesticide under FIFRA Section 25(b).
It has not been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as the active ingredient—garlic oil—is exempt from registration when used according to label directions.

 

No claim is made that ECG Mosquito Wall provides complete elimination of ticks. Results may vary based on environmental conditions, infestation levels, and application coverage.
