Mosquitos

[Guest guest]

My DH gave me some suggestions for Mosquito control. He used to run a

yardcare business with some very large yards.

 

Brewers yeast in your pets food will help with bugs on

your pets. Sprinkle it on their food.

 

 

He say's he got the Vegesol(vegetable based organic soap) at Lowes,

citronella oil at the health food store. He mixes them per

instructions on the organic soap and adds the

citronella oil. Uses a yard sprayer to apply.

 

Or

 

Castiles Peppermint soap diluted 1:10 sprayed in yard

with yard sprayer. You can also spray this on the

pets. Instructions are on the package. Mix is in with

lipbalm and then rub on their noses etc.

 

He say's you need to find out where the mosquitos are

coming from. Open water is a breeding ground....such

as a ponds, bird baths, old tires, any container that can hold water.

You can put a TBLS of bleach (up to 1000 gallons of water), in the

standing water to kill the mosquito larvae. This small amount of

bleach doesn't hurt animals.

 

If there are areas outside your yard that are wet areas the local

mosquito abatement can go out and spray those areas, usually no

charge to you.
