Technical Data Sheet

PURPOSE: Garlic Gard is a foliar-applied insect repellent which is absorbed and systematically distributed throughout the plant. This process causes biochemical changes in the foliage of the plant which actively repels insects.

COMPOSITION: Concentrated 100% garlic oil extract.

APPLICATION RATE: Use 6-12 oz. of product diluted in water to treat one acre. Shake or stir product prior to mixing.

APPLICATION METHOD: Apply dilute product as a spray or fog to foliage of plants, shrubs, trees, brush, and turf areas prior to times when insects are anticipated. Small spray droplet size is most effective. Wet plants to the point of run-off.

For best results, do not apply 12 hours prior to rainfall or irrigation. Spray timing should be during periods when temperatures are between 60-90 degrees F, to maximize foliar uptake. Use of a natural surfactant to increase foliar contact may enhance performance. Avoid spraying with excessively hard water, spray oils, or paraffin based
