It depends on how strong a solution you make and the surface it is being sprayed on. How big an area do you want to cover.
by my experience I did a couple of times a day initially
1
The area is around 40X30 ft. There is also a boundary wall where they used to sit.
We also have mango trees, they are eating all d mangoes. As d mango trees r big, may not be feasible to spray all over; any idea to get rid of this problem?
5> I have seen people use fire crackers or the sound to scare them
We have tried this. But this is a temporary solution, They give up the area for a few hours or a day. The next day they will come again.
Oh that would be a challenge to spray the trees though the boundary walls maybe
So another technique which some people use is to have a baboon. They would call a guy with a baboon .

2> He would tie it at places where the monkeys used 2 come and they would give up the territory and move away. Some residential areas adopt this practice collectively. This works but not sure how viable it is for you to implement
3> Some science students used the idea to make a mannequin baboon with pre recorded sound to scare away monkeys from their college
I am not sure how effective that was
4>
But it is known that monkeys leave the area if there is a baboon in the vicinity
Another thing worth exploring is the ultrasonic sounds to repel monkeys. it can be tried for sure
If u r ok experimenting with sounds check this
read the comments first and stay at a safe distance. there are many sound sources available
also check this
This is just for a general idea not asking u to buy
May be if we can get the sound it can be played from an old mobile or music player with speakers attached
See, I have gone through many Youtube videos, which also include the ultrasound technique... Monkeys can hear even 50kHz sound.
But for me, it has to be affordable and cost-effective in the first place.

using an electrical pump drenching the spray covered the place like rain drops. did this several times a day and slowly the monkeys gave up the space.
then I reduced the frequency.

It all depends upon a how big the are u wanna clear, how strong is the garlic is and who is more determined u or the monkeys
Ha ha...who is more determined? Of course monkeys, we literally give up to their invasion. They are so clever creatures that they patiently wait for the right time to invade. It is impractical to stand in the garden for 10 hrs to protect it
And it is also about what economic cost does it take. It should be affordable for us as well.
We grow vegetables to consume organic things, as such seasonal vegetables in the market are quite cheap in my locality. can you imagine the Onion price is just 10 cents per kilo? Ladies' fingers are just 30 cents per kilo.
We have grown cucumber, watermelon, Ladies finger, and in fruits, bananas, Mangoes, and berries.
But due to monkeys our passion to grow veggies is diminishing. Mangoes are almost eaten by them in this season.
start to reclaim small areas cover them with net or old sheets and spray that with garlic see if it deters them. Slowly you should be able to reclaim the entire area though the mango trees are going to be a challenge 1 step at a time we go
We have nets, but they are quite intelligent, they somehow manage to sneak in through it. And another problem is that these days a few birds got entangled with the nets, and we had to rescue them this season.
Garlic costs around 1.3 USD per KG here. What is d estimated garlic quantity I need to make this garlic solution for an area of 30x40 ft? Any tentative estimate?
Also,do u have a video, I just wanna see d process of applying this solution
5> I had no clue people were experimenting with garlic this lady used it again for insects using the blender technique and added mint too
She ended up cooking it This Makes sense too
#gosh
Thank you for sharing this video, I will definitely watch it thoroughly, I will also estimate the cost, then will begin the experiment.
u can also grow your own garlic from store bought garlic and maybe if garlic paste is available in store and close to expiry they give discounts.
Even expired one works 4 us as we are only spraying it and not consuming
It sounds like I have to apply the spray daily. If that is the case, it will be too much of a cognitive as well as additional maintenance load. I am looking for a less frequent/episodic solution.
the growing part is lengthy time consuming process but if those plants are in the vicinity are they repelling the monkeys ? something to be investigated
wow never knew about this method
so many things in the kitchen r super useful
1>
The question is how are you going to spray do you have some kind of electrical device with a hose or one of those small bottles we use to spray the plants?
We have a small pump set to spray water, should I make a perforated nozzle and fit it with the spray hose with this garlic solution? Will it work?
should work let the solution sit over night for max results and strain so that there are no solid particles to clog the nozzle.
also cooking to get the maximum garlic out is also a good idea which you can try
some places also sell that ready to use garlic paste if u do not get the garlic that can be tried too though not sure if it has any chemical or preservatives
The idea is to reclaim your territory by introducing smells, sounds or anything else that makes them a bit uncomfortable and nudges them to leave.
So going forward it is finding the thing which works 4 u via trial and error
2>
Start by taking photographs or identifying spots where they sit and r there some entry exit points to locate the spot Though I did not make any videos at that time
3>
I found a similar video of this guy and he used it for pests and not monkeys and he even boiled the garlic maybe it increased the aroma in the water
4> Whatever the method idea is to get the max aroma into the liquid
For spraying I used my vaccum cleaner blower which has a spray bottle to be connected to the blower side
Good idea, but I don't have any such device. But I would try.
did not know about this at all
glad you know it now :)

Also hopefully the monkeys at your place are not garlic loving . These days I am surprised by so many animals love all these spices and seasoning we use luckily for the the garlic worked quite well.
5
Also try to protects any plants etc with old wasted sheets and spray it with the liquid to prolong the effect.
The water evaporates but the smell remains
How big an are are u planning to cover ?
