    Unfortunately, it is once again mosquito season in some parts of the world.


    A fan blowing air or circulating the air quickly will sometimes improve the

    situation, but for some people, the only product that will reliably deter mosquitos is one containing a high % of DEET


    Here are some examples:

    Hello. Wondered—- Do you happen have any community support. I lived at a prior residence that the county we come and fog the property. There was a water drain on the property justifying the treatment.

    Alternative you might want to contact your local co op extension office for the suggestions for your area.

    I made an investment a few years ago with Dyna-Trap. I run it March to October and noticed after the 2nd year, mid-year, that we don't even have any more. I put a 1 acre in my front yard, 1/2 acre in the back. I have 2 acres, 1 is very wooded.

    I use a diffuser on my porch with essential oils like lemon grass, citronella, while we are outside...it works great

  • JOANNE JOANNE on May 18, 2021

    Hi Everyone, this is for indoor mosquitos, i am thinking i can use the essential oils?

    I have lavender and mint and lemon plants inside as well.

    I have zapper plug ins, i have a big zapper - it just isn't working. thank you all!

      Try to determine how they are getting inside.


      If you do not think that the mosquitos are coming in just when the door is opened to the outside (people opening and closing the door)

      then they most likely are getting in through window screens that:


      1/do not fit tight enough on the windows

      and/or

      2/the mesh in the window screens is larger than the size of the mosquitos.


      To reduce the number of mosquitos getting inside, I would recommend that you purchase new upgraded window screens.


      In the meantime, go outside at dusk, and spray OFF, (or one of the other products in the link in my comment above) around the window frames and fully over the sides of any doors facing to the outside. Sure it will smell for a few minutes, but doing this should help to deter the mosquitos.
