Went out to feed my dog a few minutes ago and got suffocated with mosquitoes. Went and got a flashlight and discovered thousands of mosquitoes hanging out on her cage platform and some flying around her. She didn't seem bothered, but I know it has to be aggravating. What's a good spray any of y'all use?

And don't give me any "keep your dog inside" BS. She's 100+ lbs of couch flipping, mattress eating hound dog already tried that.

A fan pointed into her kennel helps.

just go to the home depot and get some general insecticide that contains pyretherins...spectracide or something like that. spray it around the area with a garden sprayer and it will kill them if they land on it...

Hi-yield 38. Google it, you can buy online or at feed stores. Ignore instructions and spray during the hottest time during the day in places where the mosquitos live. Follow instructions to spray dogs body though.

If your in Belle Rose, I know White Castle Co-op sells it.

Bifen IT works great for that and should give you about a month of protection.

My neighbor has had success keeping them off his porch by planting a few pots of mint.

You don't have any standing water around do you? Get rid of those breeding grounds too.

Eucalyptus is a natural mosquito repellant too. Problem is they don't grow well in La.
