Mosquito season...whoopee !

Well here we go again with the Dengue, Encephalitis, ...etc, etc.

Any one got/have a sure fire way of killing them off.
Ace Hardware has a hand held fogger for sale, with the liquid an' all.

I wos wondering if I put the liquid in the diesel (1998 Jetta tdi. ) and just run it up wind of my shop ? Eh ?

I've moved most of the tires and other 'pond' effects scrap but wondered if you had come across anything that does work....Please don't tell me you had success with citronella !

Need some Nile Virus for your skeeters? I use the propane mosquito traps (Biter Fighter). Very effective 1 acre +/- . Mosquitos are territorial.

I am tempted to get one of those...the skeeters are thick around my place too.

25 years ago I wanted to move ot Arizona...........but all my family and relatives are around here....so moving out there at this stage is highly unlikely. Mosquitos or not.

Remember they are just as afraid of you as you are of them, Just ignore them and they'll go away. If that fails I find "swatting" them to be a good defense.
