Well it’s just about mosquito season here. I imagine some of you already have mosquito’s in your gardens.
I hate them! I always swell up quite a bit where they bite me. If it’s not an allergic reaction is definitely an enhanced reaction to their bites … so you can see why I don’t like being bit by them.
Now with West Nile spreading throughout North America I’ve got even more reason to not want to be bit by these pesky blood sucking critters.
Do you do anything to prevent mosquitoes from biting you, or to deter them from your yard?
Naturally rules such as not leaving standing water in a bucket or container apply here … but what else do you do to keep from getting bitten?
I’m not big on chemicals. Not on me or in my yard. We do however use citronella candles, and citronella oil in our tiki torches. That helps to some degree, but it doesn’t totally keep them at bay.
What do you do?
Tricia – I know how you feel! If there is 1 lonely mosquito within 5 miles, that sucker will find me! My wife, on the other hand, rarely gets bitten. So, it must be something in our sweat glands/body temperature/what we ingest, but I’ve been unable to track it down. I looked around on Google and came across this site: mosquitocontrol.ca and hope it’s of help to you – it seems to have fairly non-evasive measures and products. Hope this helps. Later.
There’s plenty of mossies over here. Nobody can escape them. We try to stay indoors!
Well, Tricia i have been pondering upon the mosquito issue for quite sometime now and i have not been able to do anything about it. Hopefully something will come up soon to get rid of this problem permanently. Your blog seems to be really nice!! Are you interested in exchanging links? My blog is at changingtechnology.blogspot.com/ and it’s about the latest gadgets and the technology used. Do let me know if you are interested. I too will put up a link to your blog on mine. Thanks.
Mosquitoes have always been pesty visitors when it comes to summer enjoyment, but because of the West Nile virus, it has become critical that we do whatever we can to reduce the number of mosquitoes paying visits to our yards.
Paradox Productions has come up with a list of strategies to minimize …
Hi.
For me, mosquito nets are great especially for bedrooms to prevent mosquito bites and to give me peace of mind. Also, it’s great for patio too.
As for mosquito bite treatment, I apply small amount of toothpaste on the bites. It worked wonders!
