Mosquito problems..

Just wondering if you had any ideas on how to deal with mosquito problems on the yard..
my yard is pretty dry but i do have some pine trees.
has anyone used a plug in zaper?

 

where are you located? I live down south and this summer they arnt bad at all. Make sure you have no standing water in any buckets or wheel barrells. The people next door to me have a bug zapper , i will have to ask em how it works with squitos. I know it is always zapping those junebugs.

 

they got this propane mosquito trap..got one under my deck so when were hanging out eating and drinking on the deck we dont get eating alive...works too...but i live in the city and its not like the swamp but we still get em

 

my friend who is a horticulturist suggests flowering tobbaco plants

 

thanks for the replys.. i keep the yard pretty clean. no buckets or standing water besides water bowls that are changed daily. they seem to bite the dogs close to eyes, toes and underbelly. i'm north and they are bad in my part of town right now.

 

NatureBoy , did yal have alot of rainy wheather this spring/ summer? The eyes deal sound more like nats or flies

 

sound more like gnats, rather than mosquitos

 

they get me too.. i'm pretty sure they are mosquitos. i'll wack them on the dog and they are full of blood.

 

Skin so soft by Avon works for gnats and I think mosquitos too. And it smells pretty good too.

 

zappers make them worse. mosquitos arnt atracted to light. the zappers kill alot of bugs that eat them tho. so in the end it just makes it worse... try feeding fresh garlic 3x a week half a clove

 

i suggest looking into a bat house.
