All gardeners and homeowners should know that there is an alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides, one they can confidently use on their grounds. Nature's Insect Guard is a blend of organic ingredients and scents, including garlic extract, that have been shown to repel harmful insects and thus protect plants, people and animals. This formulation has been used successfully around homes, zoos, municipal and private parks (including Busch Gardens), stables and farms. There is very little odor to this product, and it usually dissipates within an hour.
Garlic (cloves and juices) has long been recognized as an insect deterrent. Garlic also masks the parasite attracting signals (or auras) that plants emit. The concentrated garlic extract in Nature's Insect Guard is a more powerful form of garlic, so a little bit goes a long way.
Though Garlic is one of the essential ingredients in this product, it is far from the only reason it works so well. Nature's Insect Guard contains a formula of sucrose and complexed carbohydrates that increase plant energy (or brix levels) which then makes plants less attractive to parasites. It also contains sulfur, iron, selenium (an antioxidant), and other micronutrients that give a plant energy that helps it ward off pests and insects.
