Is Nature's Guardian an effective way to prevent ticks fleas and mosquitoes?

I've heard of natures guardian, if you are controling fleas and ticks in your garden tere are better ways than commerical products, for example you can make your own garden spray with ammonia, listerine, cheap dish liquid, and chewing tobacco juice, no I am not kidding, look up Jerry Baker the master gardener, most commerical products have these ingredients in them, this way is cheaper, you mix it up put it in a gallon jug, use about 1 -2 cups in your hose sprayer fill it with water and spray. A mix of 1/2 C of cheap dish liquid (like Octagon) in your hose end sprayer will do wonders when sprayed on your plants outside or even your grass. The reason I say cheap dish liquid is because the more powerful ones with degreasers and anti-bacterial are no good for the garden, you just basically need plan old soap. Get rid of any standing water, and also throw your left over coffee on any damp spots you may have this will deter the eggs of fleas and mosquitos. Do a search on Jerry Baker Master Gardner you'll see what I mean regarding the use of the items I mentioned. i have found only Frontline Plus and k9 advantage do the best jobs to really kill and get rid of fleas and ticks on dogs. hell no
