I use garlic powder from the Walmart grocery department. I sprinkle it directly on small plants and mix it with any insecticide or foliar spray I use. The patch smells like an Italian restaurant, but no cucumber beetles.

Supposedly animals (like deer, rabbits, etc) don't like the smell of garlic, but you have to continuously apply it. Never tried it myself for cuc beetles. Are you creating your own garlic spray or using some commercially available brand?

City of Stratford, CT

I am the Mosquito Control Officer for the Town of Stratford, CT (Pop. 49,389). The town is located along the Housatonic River and Long Island Sound. There are a great many salt water marshes within our borders.

This Spring our Town Manager asked us to investigate a newly patented product, Mosquito Barrier. The manufacturer sent us a gallon for testing. I was shocked at its effectiveness. After spraying it, our town employees at the Water Control Plant are now able to work outdoors in T-shirts. Spectators can watch our local softball team and not have to fend off mosquitoes with cans of Raid or use Off. Children at Sterling House Daycare Center do not complain about mosquito bites. I used to receive from 5-7 calls a day from residents complaining of mosquitoes, now my calls are down to none or one a day. I feel like the Maytag repairman. We are able to get these results without the introduction of any chemicals into the environment. Needless to say we are expanding our use of Mosquito Barrier in our town.

will the garlic spray work on vampires as well?

adding a little silver nitrate to the garlic spray is necessary to thoroughly prevent vampire attacks
