Mosquito Yard Coverage Calculator

Mosquito yards are sized in acres, not flat square feet, so we normalize the yard to acres, multiply by a mosquito-specific carrier volume to get finished gallons, scale the concentrate by your label rate, then break the job into discrete fogger or backpack tank-fills.

area_sqft        = acres × 43,560      (or your sq-ft entry)
acres            = area_sqft / 43,560
finished_gallons = acres × gal_per_acre
concentrate_floz = finished_gallons × rate_oz_per_gal

tank_fills       = ceil(finished_gallons / tank_gal)
conc_per_tank    = rate_oz_per_gal × tank_gal
last_tank_gal    = finished_gallons − tank_gal × (tank_fills − 1)

garlic only:
  gal_per_acre   = (0.1 gal conc/ac × 128) / 4 ≈ 3.2 finished gal/ac
  oil_floz       = finished_gallons × 2     (standing water)
  soap_tsp       = finished_gallons × 1     (standing water)
  apps_from_jug  = floor(128 / concentrate_floz)
  planned_apps   = ceil(season_weeks / interval_weeks)

The 20 gal/acre barrier carrier is a generic planning default, not a manufacturer figure. It could not be confirmed on the cited Mosquito Barrier page, so it ships as a visible, editable input with that hedge — never as a cited or authoritative rate. ULV ships no carrier default (thin-fog volumes vary too much by equipment). Garlic derives its carrier from the confirmed 4 fl oz/gal recipe (≈0.1 gal concentrate per acre → ≈3.2 finished gal/acre).

Tank-fills use ceil: a partial remainder is still a discrete fill (a 2.5-fill job is 3 fills; an exact 10 gal in a 5-gal tank is 2). The last, partial tank is dosed from its actual fill so the per-tank concentrate column sums back to the concentrate headline. The Talstar-P 0.5–2 fl oz/gal band, the 4 fl oz/gal garlic recipe with its standing-water additive, the "1 gal ≈ 10 applications on a half-acre lot every 3 weeks" cadence, and the 4 L / 16 L fogger tank sizes are confirmed in the cited sources. This tool outputs volumes and tank-fills only — never dollars.
