twice a year I spray my entire yard and outside of my house (roof to base) with permethrin. Spray the ceiling under your patio, the walls, floors, everything.

My neighbors complain of mosquitos, I don't.

I use a can on my garden hose and set it at 1.5ozs per gallon.

Never used it before, but this stuff comes highly recommended. Also, in br the city mosquito people will come spray your yard for free.

Mosquito repellant
In thibodaux they are called " mosquito guys". Come and spray every month. Think 60$. Works wonders. We couldnt go in our yard in the afternoon last year. After getting them no pblms. I like better than mister cuz no installation or need to keep chemicals around

I was so skeptical about this. But they come out and do first one free and that shite works. Sprays about an acre and really only use it for 6 months. I tried the permethrin and it works but takes too long to do my yard.

I live on the coast and could not go outside right before dark because of mosquitoes. Someone recommended what I am about to tell you and every since we have been mosquito and red ant free. Purchase a product called Biden IT. Many feed stores carry it or you can buy it online. If you have a small yard it can be applied with a garden hose and sprayer. I have 1.5 acres so I use a 25gal. boom sprayer pulled behind my lawn mower. Mix 3/4 oz. per gal. of water and spray side of house, bushes, trees and of any grass area. One application will last for 3-4 months.

Be careful spraying at this time of year, do not get on flowers because it will kill bees. Do no use on anything that will be consumed such as fruit trees.

It will also take care of red ants.
