Are there any effective mosquito controls-this summer is madness.

So, I have lived in Louisiana most of my life. This year has been the worst for mosquitos in a long, long time, maybe ever.

No worries. Google is going to handle the mosquito problem.

What kind of vaccine is the govt gonna tell us we need to get from the unintended consequences of this?

Not sure where you are located, but in Tangipahoa they will come spray your yard for free. It helps a lot for a few days then they are right back.

Came here to say this. My parish does the same.

I spray Bifen in my yard every 2-3 weeks. Used to have a company come out and they gave the neighborhood a pretty good discount based on how many homes signed up for the service. But I realized I could do it on my own for much cheaper. The only difference is they had a backpack fogger as well as garden sprayers. Cut the grass then spray the yard and bushes and lower tree limbs.

I was also out west for a week this year, and they had the mosquito dunks in buckets of water. Those seemed to help in the area we were in. I thought about getting some of those in addition to what I'm spraying, as I could leave a couple buckets out all the time.

I use this fogger Invatech and I fog with Talstar.

I have no issues for about 3 weeks, I am not regular about it and if i was i think I would have way less problems. I live on small acreage in St Tammany with thick woods, a pond and some slow draining spots. This combo works very well.

because spraying your yard is a waste of time and does nothing but kill beneficial insects who don’t have a constant brood at the ready

It seems to make a difference at my house, and my yard stays covered up with bees and wasps after they come spray.
