[quote=Anonymous]I don't want to spray, but what's the solution?? I have an entire yard with perennials and native plants. I even have a bat house with bats in it in my backyard. I probably average 20 bites an hour that I'm outside. I don't see standing water anywhere, but there is a stream just beyond my backyard. I feel like the mosquitoes are also ruining my kids' childhoods. They can't go outside unless covered in bug spray, which they don't like. The vast majority of my bites are from native mosquitoes, not the Asian tiger ones. I can tell the difference in what the bites look like. One of our halfway solutions is spraying the bushes that they live in. We notice them congregating around certain bushes (I have a hydrangea that they love) and I spray that. I wish mosquito dunks were cheaper, but I'd need to use several a week to make a dent.[/quote]
