Mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus are easy to spot.
They will be wearing ancient Egyptian garb!!! NARF!

Me thinks you are being a bit paranoid.

Spraying them with soap will give you the cleanest "skeeters" on your block
but probably won't kill them. It really doesn't do a very good job on
earwigs or aphids either. Using an actual insecticide would be far more
effective, don't you think?

Do not leave any standing water in your yard or else you will be attracting
the "skeeters" to places where they will lay their eggs. That is the real
problem.

My yard is surrounded by cedar hedges. Mosquitoes seem to love hiding
in them during the day. A hive of possible West Nile infection!

I was wondering if spraying into the hedges with diluted liquid soap
will help diminish these guys. The soap does a good job on earwigs
and aphids.

Does anyone know if the soap will kill these pests before it does in
my cedar hedge?
