First-light Posted Thursday at 10:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:40 PM What the hell just happened. The last two days I can't stay outside. These pests are all over like never before. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airedale Posted Thursday at 11:30 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:30 PM They need standing water to reproduce, and it does not take much, anything that can hold water will be a breeding ground so try and eliminate that. As far as keeping them away there is all kinds of stuff like candles, lanterns that burn citronella oil that help some, ThermaCell works pretty good. The wife purchased a light for her gazebo that draws them in and traps them with a fan, it does work half way decent.. Then there is good old fashioned insect repellants.

landtracdeerhunter Posted Friday at 12:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:01 PM I believe it's the cooler damp nights that get them out and about more this time of year. We noticed them too, the last few evenings.. West Nile numbers are going up. Cold like symptoms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsNbows Posted Friday at 12:48 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:48 PM I’ve used devices such as the mosquito magnet with great success. Concentrate on breeding areas as suggested above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
