Regarding mosquitos, how often should you broadcast dry minced garlic on the lawn? Are there any plants that repel mosquitos without having to crush the leaves?
Regarding grasshoppers, what kind of citrus oil is used and where can I get it?

Citrus oil is available at just about every nursery and even Home Depot or Lowes.

The Garlic will last UP TO 30 days, with all the rain, I don't think we've had a chance at the 30 day test!!

Don't be shy about how much garlic you put out.

Centrinela (sp) plants work some what, all you have to do is shake them a little to get the smell.
