Year 1
Mosquito deleter is very effective.
Me 1 - mosquitos 0


Year 2
Mosquito deleter sucks
Me 0 - mosquitos 2

Need new strategy. I turn to TD mosquito subject matter experts. Learn me.

I’ve sprayed for them during the day and put a
lick on them. Used Talstar. Sprayed all the foliage around the house and the home structure. Doesn’t get them all, but it thins those little bastards out.

If you want relief tonight you best have citronella candles or some Raid flying insect killer.

I use multiple methods. Using mosquito dunks, Spartans. These traps that use lights. Any one method doesn’t cut it.

I stopped killing every living thing outside my house and things really started to balance out. Frogs and Lizards get FAT under my back patio and it remains mosquito free. The front is more manicured and less frogs and lizards and the front patio has mosquitos every dusk.

I really feel for those people who are mosquito magnets. I can sit on a porch or somewhere they're swarming and never get bit. Someone could sit beside me and get eaten alive.

It isn't that I never get bit. I do a few time a year, but I barely feel the bite and they don't itch at all really. Within a few minutes the bite mark is completely gone.

Maybe I need to have my blood studied.

Backpack fogger with Talstar. No mosquitoes for 3 weeks, nothing else either except horseflies and deer flies.

We have this thing. It takes a few weeks to make a dent but now that we’ve had it for a month we’ve really noticed a difference. I didn’t expect it to work nearly as well as it does.

I use multiple Cutter candles and ceiling fans on. Works great.

I pay pest control every month to come out and spray about 50 ft around the house. Haven't seen a mosquito in 1.5 years.

I use Mintronella incense sticks, buy a 100 pack on Amazon for $17. They are all natural, made in US, and smell good when they burn. I got a thermocell but the incense sticks work better. I also put mosquito dunks and mosquito fish in my little pond. Houston area, and there are a lot of little mosquitos but fortunately they hate Mintronella.

Don’t know about where you are, but in this area it’s been extremely hot and dry.

The only benefit of the lack of rain is there are hardly any skeeters.

Just put some amber romance lotion on.

1: you will smell good

2: mosquitos hate that stuff
