Please recommend companies that can blow up the millions of mosquitos living on my back porch. I've fogged it and done every "home remedy" out there. It is time to take back my porch.

I looked up the Mosquito Authority but didn't find any reviews. Comment if you've used them and what you thought, or leave other recommendations. Thank you!

A bottle of Suspend SC and a sprayer will do the trick. And save you money too.

Have you looked at your property tax bill? You already pay for this in a big way. Just call and they come out and do a great job of fogging with a commercial fogger. I would say it is free but the truth is that we all pay dearly for the service. I have them come on every Friday before I have a weekend party.

I have tried the sprayer thing recommended in the first post. It zapped them for a day or two, then they were back with a fury the next week.

We also have the mosquito truck come by on about a weekly basis. It's still so bad..

All of my toddler's cool toys are out back and I always have to tell him no. My cousin in Dallas got a horrific case of West Nile a few years ago and he is permanently disabled, so I don't really feel like taking chances.

us too. backyard is longer than a football field, so it gets hard to control. the neighbors also did something behind our fence so that the water in our yard no longer drains out as it should after a big week of rain. So that has made the issue a lot worse here in the last year or so. We will probably have to get that handled, too.

It's to the point where I can't even open the back door or about 10-15 can get into the house that quickly. We ordered these cool little lion stickers that go inside my kid's clothes, and they have kept the mosquitos from eating him up. But it adds up after putting 2/day on his clothes. I also don't want our company to have to bathe in mosquito repellent just to go hang out in our backyard.

Talstar from Amazon.com

1oz per gallon spray it every 2-3 weeks.

ETA I've confirmed with local bug guys around my area in Alabama that it's the same stuff they use. I've used it for 2 years and it works. If they are really bad spray once every 7 days.

Install a mosquito system in your yard. I had one put in last year and it's awesome. Will cost a couple of grand to install then a littlebit of maintenance cost throughout the year but we'll worth it in my opinion

Thinking about having something done

What is the going rate to have someone come out to spray? My yard is a half acre lot and really just have problems in the back where it is shaded

How about yall just live and let live for Christ's sake. Killing everything that gives you even the slightest bit of annoyance. You don't kill your kids do you?

Well if you and your kin would leave us humans alone and stop biting us we wouldn't have to worry about killing you.
