[quote=Anonymous]My immidiate neighbors have a food forest in their backyard and they are fully organic. As a result, I have the birds, bees necessary to eat the mosquitos. Anyways, I am an immigrant from a tropical country. I work a lot in my yard during the weekend, but I am always wearing long sleeve shirts, full pants tucked into socks, gloves, and a sunhat. I am frankly more worried about ticks than mosquitos. So I apply deet on my clothes, and I will strip out of them as soon as I step into the house and change into normal clothes. If we are entertaining, usually a citronella tiki torch and a fan is what is needed. You can also make a homemade marigold spray (marigold petals and cilantro petals blended in water) and spray the yard. It works even with dried and wilted petals. Spray your yard and it just repels all kinds of bugs. [/quote]
