Mosquito Squad...

[fish4bills]

Anyone ever used this company for treating their yard for skeeters? Does it work?

The skeeters are as big as small birds this year and I've got to try something. Thanks.

I have not heard of them. If they are good Buffington might want to use them the next time he comes to the Carolina's

I'm using my 1100 this year with deer slugs.....

In Cape May this year, They are as thick as Ive seen them. I went to the sliding door last weekend and there were at least 30 of the buggers hanging on to the screen. I think I saw this stuff in tru-value that you spray on the yard and its supposed to kill them. Something like 90 percent of the mosquitoes that you have come from your own yard.
Dont get a mosquito magnet. They work, just dont seem to make enough difference. To much hassle too.

Yeah, I already tried the mosquito magnet. It catches and kills them...just not enough of them.

This mosquito squad company sprays all of the vegetation in the yard with some kind of chemical and says that it lasts for 21 days?

yea, you can buy it too. I will go get some this weeknd in cape may and take a picture and post it when I come back next week. You simply attach a garden hose to it and spray. I am going to try that. Ill let you know what it is.
I agree, the mosquito magnet catches them but it becomes your full time job catching and dumping them. They still seem to be as thick. I sold mine on e-bay.

Thanks for the Tip Hubris.....your better than geico because you just saved us some money...We are in south Dennisville.....although its great to have all that land to play on when we get back in from fishing.....the skeeters were as big as sparrows.....this year they are going to look like turkeys with all the water still laying around!

Good ole wettable Sevin (50W) and a cheap garden sprayer will do the trick at killing skeeters in the yard just as well as a $200 treatment from an exterminator for a fraction of the cost and will last until a good rain. Make sure you get "wettable" Sevin power, not just the kind you sprinkle on plants.
