To my knowledge there’s no stagnant water on my property, I’ve run water through all my ptraps, and I’m careful to not leave doors open. Yet at any given time there’s at least 3 in my house. I can’t sleep, i can’t sit on the couch, i can’t exist in the fear of being sucked dry.
The breaking point is when i watched my dog get bit on her head. I’m ready to do whatever it takes and then some. I will kill a man if it saves me from these demons. Any ideas?
If you are inside, set up an oscillating fan. They can’t fly well in windy conditions.
Was watching a video where one place they rest is under the leaves of plants. Yiu can buy mosquitoe killer spray, but be sure to get underneath the leaves.
As others have mentioned, standing water is bad. They can survive and thus breed in a LOT smaller volume of water than people realize.
This is real.
We setup a largish fan outside near our fire pit, attached to an inverter powered by a power tool battery.
It dramatically reduced the mosquitos. A few will still make but for the most past it solved the issue.
I do this when doing yard work. Can feel great to have a little cool down, and really keeps them off me when doing anything stationary. Hell, I’ve even rigged up a little one that clamps on to my lawn tractor to blow at me while driving.
A breeze is nice, but no mosquitoes is fuckin’ gold!
The smoke from the fire pit also helps in keeping them away.
One can also plant lavender and catnip and some other plants which mosquitos don’t like.
It’s smokeless. We had lots of mosquito-filled nights before the fan made its appearance.
Even roadside water catch basins in front of your home can produce 100-1000 mosquitos a week if you live in a warm area.
