Mosquito problem - June 29th, 2006 at 06:11 AM
I have a huge skeeter problem. Can you tell?
Every year I am swarmed with them. My legs would have dozens of mosquitos on them within a couple minutes if I were to wear shorts out in my garden. I am constantly removing standing water to combat the next generation. This seems to have little effect.
The only thing I have thought of is to buy 20 Tiki Torches and gallons of Citronella fuel. But that would cost a small fortune!
So what do you do?
How far do skeeters travel?
How quick to they grow and how long do they live?
I really hate wearing bug spray, any other tricks to help repel them?
