We didn't choose herbal ingredients because they sound good. We chose them because the research supports them — and because we believe in being honest about what our products can and can't do.
India carries one of the world's heaviest dengue burdens. In 2024, the country recorded 2,33,519 dengue cases and 297 deaths reported to the National Centre for Vector Borne Diseases Control by the year's end — and these are only the officially reported numbers.
The mosquito responsible is Aedes aegypti, and what makes it different from ordinary mosquitoes is its behaviour: it feeds primarily on humans, bites during the daytime, and thrives in urban and peri-urban environments. In other words, it's most active exactly when your lawns, gardens and outdoor seating areas are in use.
This daytime pattern shows up in who gets affected — research across India found dengue infection is highest among people aged 21–30, potentially linked to daytime exposure during outdoor activities like school, college and work.
Garden Pleasure's Concentrated Herbal Spray is built around garlic oil — not as a marketing gimmick, but because Allium sativum (garlic) has a growing body of scientific study behind its mosquito-controlling properties.
A peer-reviewed study evaluating garlic oil against Aedes aegypti — conducted in accordance with World Health Organization recommendations and funded by Brazil's Ministry of Health — found garlic oil effective against the mosquito across its egg, larva, pupa and adult life stages, retaining its activity in simulated field trials. The researchers concluded that garlic oils are strong candidates for an integrated insect control strategy, noting that conventional insecticides have historically struggled with Aedes aegypti due to acquired resistance, environmental impact and toxicity.
Earlier research supports its repellent effect too. A study in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine found that a garlic-infused oil provided protection against Aedes aegypti for up to 4 hours, comparable to some commercial repellents. In separate laboratory testing, garlic oil was among several plant oils that reduced mosquito attraction to human odour.
One practical advantage stands out for outdoor use: garlic oil's longer-lasting residual activity on surfaces — like furniture and outdoor spaces — makes it a versatile option for environmental protection, not just personal application. That's exactly how Garden Pleasure is designed to be used: across lawns, plants and green spaces.
The main active ingredients are garlic oil and essential oils. Every supporting ingredient — added to improve sprayability, longevity, stability, sticking power and U.V. protection — is exclusively sourced from natural resources.
We believe in being straight with our customers. Here's our honest position:
Garden Pleasure is a herbal lawn and outdoor-space spray — not a medicine, and not a guaranteed disease-prevention product.
The research above studies garlic oil as an ingredient. It shows why we chose it and why plant-based mosquito control is a serious, studied field — it is not a clinical trial of this specific product.
No mosquito product, natural or chemical, offers 100% protection. Effective mosquito management always combines multiple steps: removing standing water, protecting outdoor areas, and personal precautions.
What we promise is a lab-tested, insecticide-free formula that helps reduce mosquito activity in your outdoor spaces — safely for people, pets and plants.
We'd rather earn your trust with honesty than lose it with hype.
We're inviting a limited number of hotels, resorts, farmhouses and RWAs to trial Garden Pleasure at their property — and share what they observe, honestly.
