Sam Never been to Wisconsin, have you Sam... Up here, in Kanuckistan, I was riding a horse one day and a mosquito bit the horse in the ass. By the time the mosquito was done sucking the horse's blood, my feet were dragging on the ground. If their bite don't get you, a slap from one their wings will. Up here, they suggest that you don't build a dock for your boat, because the mosquitos will use it as a landing strip. |

There are plenty of mosquitoes around my area, but I don't get bit much, if ever- even when working outside. I sort of keep track of it, just because it seems a little wierd, and here's what I came up with- changing your diet will help, a lot. When I used to eat a lot of fast-food and drink sugared sodas, I'd get eaten up like I was an insect buffet table. In the past several years, I've taken to making lunches at home, and switched to diet soda or water, and the insects bites have all but ceased. I still eat a lot of fat and carbs- just little or no sugar, and it seems to do the trick for me, anyhow. Maybe those skeeters just have a sweet tooth... |

I think bats are quite a bit more effective.
How many swings does it take to wipe out each mosquito? g Lee -- To e-mail, replace "bucketofspam" with "dleegordon" Lee Gordon www.leegordonproductions.com |

Last night, all the mosquitos biting at my ankles chased me back into the house. Any suggestions on how to repel them other than Off! or similar products. I just don't like putting chemicals on my skin unless absolutely necessary. How can I kick some mosquito butt? Thanks! G'day all, If we had a mossie problem I reckon I'd just stand the Missus outside the shed door. The little buggers love her and leave me totally alone. LOL Seriously, When having a BBQ, during mossie time, I usually light half a doz repellent sticks. Like humongous insence sticks, they do the job. John |

Permethrin, available under many brand names, both repels and kills
mosquitoes and is not very toxic to vertebrates. |

I only saw one reply that refered to products such as shown in the link I'm including. I installed one this summer in my 24'x24' garage and I'm skeeter free until about 10pm and then I close the main door. I use a single Konk BTV dispenser in the garage and it seem to work just fine. I have no connection with this company but I do know that the products are quite common further north in Canada and on farms throughout Canada.
