I used to live in a small township located in Upstate NY and there is plenty of pesky insect activity there as it is a heavily wooded rural area that is also located alongside the Great Lake Ontario! Hungry mosquitos were always waiting like an army of B52 bombers to attack any human or animal for breakfast, lunch or dinner, even a midnight snack!! It was a war zone out there! I decided these little buggers were not going to rob me of my enjoyable time outdoors, I would win this war!! I tried so many different chemical sprays, got a bug zapper, tried not to breathe sending off carbon monoxide and finally my wise old neighbor gave me his recipe and it worked! Get your hose end sprayers ready so you too can be rid of backyard mosquitos! more »
