What are you doing to control them??? I want my kids to be able to play outside! I've tried the natural remedies - now I'm ready to go chemical crazy on the suckers. What do you use and where do you get it?  4951
I use Cutters Backyard Bug Control. We sprayed the yard twice late May/early June and did not have a problem all summer. I have just started to noticed a few mosquitoes lately and need to spray again, but it works fast and keeps them away. We live next to the woods and have a retention pond behind us so lots of mosquitoes in the area, but not too many in our yard, and after I spray they will be completely gone for a while. 4951
I second the Outdoor Backyard. Â I use the one that you hook up to the hose. Â Seems to get all the evil little Mosquitos and how long it lasts depends on the rain we get. Â Usually two to three months +/- 4951
Haven't really had to treat my yard since all the spring rain produced so many of the buggers. I got one of those Black Flag foggers that has a propane cylinder and a reservoir for the bug juice. The insecticide is sprayed over the heated coil and produces big clouds of vapor that pretty much kills all the bugs. One year I tried Garlic juice as a natural remedy, put it in my hose end sprayer and did the whole property but is smelled like an Italian restaurant for about a week after. It did decrease the mosquitoes though. 4951
Cutters is pretty good. Eucalyptus sprays also work for me and are natural . They have always torn my behind up!!!. My wife, she seldom gets bit. I read somewhere that they are attracted to healthy people...I work out a lot, always have. I believe it. IÂ get bit almost immediately. Â 4951
