    They are bad at my parents because of a drainage ditch, which backs up behind the fence which is near the pool.

    My next question was about the other birds and bugs in the yard with certain chemicals. Last year he sprayed Crosscheck through an inline bottle with the water hose and it worked good but very time demanding. He is hoping for something a little faster.

    Dont remember exactly but the one I mentioned says something like dont spray fruit bearing trees. If you do it says wait 1 year from time of contact to harvest fruit.

    You should leave all skeeter killing to the pros at mosquito free yards Inc. We have customers that have bee hives in their yard and haven't had any problems in 10 years!

    Its bad news for any bug that lands on any surface where its been sprayed, including bees.

    My 70 acres I bought where I will be building has a swampy area and a creek bottom and when we ride the mule over there you can’t even stop without being consumed. I will have one of those blowers when we move and kill every skeeter in my way

    I get my yard skeeter freed and don't care what some gum gardener thinks. The chickens take care of the rest of the invasive critters.

    I got a guy that comes and sprays once a month. I pay him $50 and give him some fish. It works and I still have bees and wasps unless I tell him to kill them too. Normally not though, just mosquitos and knots.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I have a drainage ditch about 1200 feet long on my property. It is always full of water. The mosquito control guy told me to pour vegetable oil on it and it would kill all the mosquito larva naturally and bio degrade
