What Is Stop Moustique?

Stop Moustique is a concentrated natural garlic formulation intended to be diluted in water and sprayed outdoors on surfaces such as lawns, plants, and shrubs. You may also use it around living areas such as a patio or terasse to keep the mosquitoes away of your favorite areas!

Once applied, the odor released acts as a repellent to mosquitoes and ticks. While the smell may be noticeable at first, it becomes undetectable to humans after a few hours, while remaining effective against insects.

STOPMOSQUITO is proudly manufactured in Canada.
