I swear my whole yard is infested. There is no standing water anywhere
that I can find. But my yard is friggin infested with these little
biting *******s. I cant go outside for more than 10 minutes and not get
bit like crazy. I dont really feel like pouring on 8 lbs of 'deet' just
to grill a steak!

Does anyone own one of those new propane powered killer-things ? Does it
work? Are they worth 200 bucks? I've seen then for 350 too! Anyone know
a place to rent one for a week?

Or should I stick with buying the yard-spray stuff? (i'm sure its OOOH
so good for the water/soil/my dog).

Is Austin "known" for mosquito problems ? I'm "new" here.

Here's a testimonial. Last week I sat outside at Triumph Cafe on
Spicewood Springs. They have a propane-fired mosquito magnet. It was
on according to the indicator lights and sound. I was about 7 feet
from it and received 9 bites in the time it took to drink a glass of
iced tea and eat a springroll. YM(or bites)MV.

Disclaimer, my wife says that she never needs deet when I am around
because all the mosquitoes will be tracking me.
