Go to the "do it yourself store" and get some Demand CS, mix so that you are putting out about .8 oz (or 1 oz) per 1,000 sq ft. Spray all the shrubbery and tree trunks and shaded areas. Pour out al the standing water you can find. Treat water with Altosid to keep larvae from maturing.
The Demand CS is a microcapsule so it is not a solution, rather it is a suspension so whether you mix 3 gallons, 15 gallons, or 50 gallons you use the same amount of product for 1,000 sq ft. it is roughly 1 oz of concentrate for 1,000 sq ft. An average house, spraying 3 ft up and 7 ft out around the outside is usually 1,000 sq ft.
I mix either 4 or 6 oz in a 50 gallon tank and spray everything.
Mosquitoes rest on the leaves of shrubbery or tree trunks and low leaves. Demand CS will not wash off once dried and will remain active for about 6 weeks. If it rains for several days, you will get mosquitoes again because the Demand does not work (release) when it is wet, but once it dries again it will begin to release again and kill the mosquitoes.
The MSDS for Demand CS mixed 10x stronger than this is, according the MSDS, "dermally practically non-toxic". It is VERY safe and very effective on mosquitoes.
...or you can slap them.
Only the females bite you, they have to have a blood meal in order to lay eggs. The males feed off nectar and there is some thinking that making a sweet spray with boric acid will kill off the males and achieve control. Personally, I think there is too much danger of killing non-target insects like bees... we need bees.
Sorry to post something serious in the Coffee House but it is what I do... pest control. It is why I have no time to record.
