    Bad as I’ve seen them at our place in years.

    I look like I have a skin disorder after getting the yard and pasture cleaned up.

    Bought the Stihl 220 backpack sprayer/blower this morning with a respirator…gonna wage war this evening!

      The backpack sprayer is pretty amazing!

      Yesterday you couldn’t sit outside….i sprayed the back porch, flower beds and pool area, and about a quarter acre around the back side of the house. Took about 10 mins and 2 oz or chemicals and 2 gallons of water.

      We cooked supper outside and ate….havent seen a mosquito yet.

      I lightly sprayed fog on some ant beds yesterday and they are dead as hell today…I’m convinced I’ve been putting out too much chemical and too little water. The mist and coverage is key.

          Yeah, but when there's that many skeeters, you're liable to get tennis elbow.

            I just made a quick trip on the ATV to tend a game cam

            I did a light spray around my face and hands

            They were relentless

            North wind seemed to have brought in new recruits

            Look for a run on repellents at the stores

              Amazon has pretty good pricing on Bifen. and quick delivery.

              Im giving them hell with the new sprayer.

              Gonna spray about an acre I keep mowed short behind the fence for feeding the deer. No mosquitoes and corn oughta be a winning combo!

              PS - if this site corrects BIFEN to biden one more damn time….

                I’m hooking up the boom sprayer to my Ranger and hitting the yard with Bifen as soon as I finish my coffee. They are horrible at my place.

                    I just got a call from my farmer

                    They will be aerial spraying for thrips on the cotton today

                    It will kill skeeters also

                    Bombs away

                    I'll wait to spray Bifen till after the predicted rains on Sunday and Monday to get the stragglers

                      The Bifen worked great. Sprayed yesterday morning, had my daughter’s graduation party in the backyard that ran until 1 am and mosquitos didn’t bother us at all.

                          I am starting to stay inside because of them. I guess I should wear pants. Thank goondness my wife and I finished putting up a fence a couple of weekends ago. It was raining for a lot of it, but no sun and no bites. Thinking back it was perfect weather. Muddy but perfect.

                            details on sprayer? They're so thick at my Trinity Bay house you can actually hear them at night. Neighbor had a gas powered blower that poured out smoke. I think he used it twice before throwing up the white flag. County uses cropdusters to spray but doesn't do much.

                              Lol, I've thought about it. Between the skeeters and cotton mouth biting the dog its been rough lately.
