@#*%!^ mosquitos
DEET, timing, a thick skin, DEET.
If you assume the average mosquito will travel half a mile: then to control those mosquitos, you'll have to take care of standing water in a square mile, or 640 acres. You could drive yourself nuts trying to do that. DEET has a bit of an unpleasant smell but the science is in and it is safe. On the other side you are taking more chances with your health if you eat potato chips than the risk posed by West Nile virus, so enjoy your yard. I agree with you on the insecticides. The anti mosquito craze is going to do terrible things to the environment. Pity the poor frogs, newts, salamanders, fishes, waterfowl and wildflowers. Better to lose it all, than one of us middleclass be inconvenienced. -- Bill C. )` New Brunswick, Canada 45º 3' 0"N 66º 54' 0"W |
