Question:
I'm putting together a letter to the local community on mosquito
prevention and I'd like to find some online resources. Naturally I'll be
doing the standard-substandard searches on Google, but I thought I'd see if
anyone here has any sites that they found particularly useful.
Also, I'm curious to hear of anyone's experiences with devices like Mosquito
Deleto, Off Lamps, citronella candles, tiki lamps, and so forth. We've had
good luck with the Mosquito Deleto -- there's never any skeeters on the
sticky mat, but we also don't really see them when it's running either so go
figure -- it's doing the trick.
Now if we can just find a solution for INSIDE the house.
Answer:
Devices do NOT replace eliminating standing water, stocking ponds
with larvae-eating fish (goldfish are voracious), pruning back
vegetation, and fixing door and window screens. The devices
offer limited local protection, and only if you use them EVERY
time.
>Now if we can just find a solution for INSIDE the house.
It's called "window screens". I've heard they have worked well
since the 1800s.
