SukiSukiNow Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 This summer the fucking mosquitos and flies have been out of control. I’ve tried pet friendly sprays all over the yard, fly traps that smell like sewer vomit, citronella, but nothing is helping. Any suggestions? No smart ass recommendations please and thank you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle for all insects. Works very well on cockroaches. Flies need a decent drenching. Never tried it on mosquitos but imagine it would mess them up. Have only really used it indoors. I don’t really fuck with insects outside. I typically cover up when mosquitos are out in full force outside.

mr.yuck Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Do you have dragon flies on the other coast? We have a gozillion this year and they been eating the shit out of the mosquitoes to the point where I haven't noticed them all summer. Find a way to get the dragon flies. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once hired this guy to catch gophers. He was pretty unusual. He drove around with a falcon in his front seat that he would use to catch other troublemakers. He told me parts of the year he would take the falcon up to other areas to chase birds out of airports. Anyways, I was complaining about mosquitoes while we were checking out the gopher holes and he told me he could solve that problem too. He said he could launch water balloons full of larvae of this certain type of fish that eats mosquito larvae into this stagnant small pond a couple hundred yards away in the tall grass. I had him just catch the gophers. So, you could try something like that if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Went through it with the mosquitoes and flies earlier this summer. You reach down to slap your leg and you're hitting 4 at a time. Arms and legs covered in swatted mosquitoes and my own blood splattered out of them. Seems like you're trying to be environmentally friendly or at least dog friendly. Best thing was to put on pants/sleeves/hat to go out. They also seemed to appear in groups, so if I sat there and swatted a bunch the area would be clear for a bit. They also don't like smoke so spark the spliff before you head out and keep a cloud about you if you can. If all else fails try fire followed by more fire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMdoubleXL Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 ^ OMB has it right. the zappers also. Things I’ve learned bout mosquitoes taking niacin (supplement) will help guard your body systemically to repel mosquitoes But it gives you that flush feeling dried, crushed marigolds made into a spray is a very natural spray repellent for your body. also this was originally formulated to be a repellent and some still swear by it as an applied repellent but a super valuable action I’ve learned this summer is once I know I’ve been bit by a mosquito (or anything or rubbed across some plant that irritated me) is to immediately dilute. Wet a bandana, napkin, corner of my shirt-or even a few good handfuls of water and rub the fuck out of the bite to remove any possible irritants that we continue to run into our skin by itching. Any time I do this I’m never home later on trying to calm those bites. Also your skin is oily so it will really spread toxins. Dilute dilute dilute. as far as flies go-sticky traps/pads/strips! just be careful of placement so you don’t get something beneficial stuck in it. Have found vinegar helpful in releasing from the stick. I’ve heard rubbing a bar of Irish spring along your doorway will help repel also. keep properties of menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus, pine in your cleaning supplies, candles, oils, etc….. I tend to ramble on and get a lil off topic but I hope some of this helps 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosquitoes haven't been a problem here yet, but I may move away from rivers come the warmer weather to prevent MO here having to Quit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
