Does anyone have a Sprinkler Magician and have found a suitable alternative to the recommend Mosquito Magician Concentrate (MMC) to run through it and the attached irrigation system? I seem to no longer be able to find MMC and am wondering if the manufacturer has went defunct.

For what’s its worth. All those natural concoctions contain scents that mosquitos supposedly don’t like. I tried one that had garlic concentrate one time, all that happened was that yard smelled like garlic. I had scented geraniums and citronella plants around the patio (wife insisted), you disturb the leaves and mosquitos flew out.

The only thing I found that works is pyrethiods. They kill the mosquitos. Even if scents do keep them away, the scent has to be continuously reapplied, especially in the summer. You are looking for more MM, so I guess it is working for you. You are lucky. I looked at their website and they said they are gearing up for summer So they may still be in business.

I spent thousands on a MistAway system and now years later it is nothing more than broken tubing along my fence line and a few bottles of concentrate sitting in a closet somewhere. I wasn't willing to use the chemicals since my family and dog uses the back yard so I tried natural formulations which were useless.

The biggest reduction in mosquitoes for me occurred when I removed the 20+ trees from my backyard.
