MOSQUITO CONTROL

Mosquitoes are bad this year. With the rainy summer we've had these buggers are breeding like there's no tomorrow! Mosquitoes are controlled best by draining puddles and keeping areas as dry as possible, but when you're at a picnic you don't want to come home looking like the mosquitoes used you for a pin cushion. There are several repellent ou there with the ingredient Deet in them that work well, then there are the bug zappers of old that kill anything that will fly into it, and then there is a newer product that incorporates the natural attractors of carbon dioxide that your body releases that draws the mosquitoes to you and it also imitates the body's heat by emitting a warmth from the trap, then the unsuspecting insect gets sucked into the trap via a vacuum. These traps are very expensive and there are several models on the market, but some find it worth the price especially if you entertain a lot outside.
