Mosquitos

These dang bugs are out in force at my place,could be all the leaf removal that I have been doing.This got myself thinking I have rain barrels at both ends of my house and thinking if I use some fish tank or some kind of pump in the to keep water air rated it would lesson the chances of them becoming a breeding pool.

Might work. Im not sure but I think they breed mostly in stagnant water.

Been seeing giant ones on Long Island the last couple of weeks. Also seeing spraying disclaimers in the local newspapers. Towns will be out in force spaying these bastards.

i bought a bug zapper because i have TONS of mosquitos by me.  there is a swamp behind my house.  The zapper cleared the situation up within a week or so.  It went from not being able to be outside to hanging out all night with no bugs at all.

 

Id invest in a zapper that hangs.

From what I read on them they are effective thanks for the help.I would rather have a non herbaiside/pesticide in the rain barrel where as I use this for not only for watering my plants but also for outdoor cleaning house and cars.Just looking for a safe way of keeping from being a breeding ground for mosquitos.I was thinking of a cap full of bleach 1 time a month per 55 gallons would work/along with a pump of some kind to keep water moving

Clouds of them already, around here! Got the deck stained and new patio furniture out there. But them skeeters are so bad it's hard to enjoy it. Gotta get a zapper or something!

We have basically had drought conditions for quite a stretch now, and I believe it has kept those critters down quite a bit. However, now we have started to get some rain and we'll have to see how that effects the bug population. But so far - so good.
