I havent seen a mosquito here in Iowa for several years and i spend a lot of time on the patio.

If you are feeling lonely we can send you a box of mosquitoes. We have plenty to share.

Been using these in five gallon buckets this year. They have reduced the amount of skeeters but still have plenty yet...

At the attendant residences at the hydro site, they bought mosquito traps, that produce CO2. Mosquiotos are atracted to it, It took a little while, but it did get to the point they could use their outdoor areas.

Around here we just drive an old Chebbie a few laps around the buildings, gives the skeeters the 'ol Blue Death

I use the Spartan mosquito eliminators. They work!

When I was 14, I was driving the 64 Chevy half ton with the 6 banger engine.
Ran out of gas about a half mile from home.
Walked home and picked up a glass jug of gas I thought .
Went back and poured it in the truck.
Cranked it and drove home.
Smokes like a burning tar pit.
Later that day, my Dad came home and wanted to know where the jug of kerosene and Chlordane he had mixed up to spray for bugs.
I probably wiped out a bunch of skeeters that day.

With all the "Saving wetlands, dentention ponds, rain gardens", programs, I suspect we will see an upswing in their population, in the future.
