[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, if mosquito squad is no good then what would you recommend for spraying when your yard is totally infested! We can barely use our outdoors.[/quote] Asian tiger mosquitoes are usually best controlled by controlling standing water sources. If you eliminate the standing water on your property (and possibly adjacent properties), you will eliminate their breeding areas. Asian tigers are weak flyers and stay nearby where they were hatched -- they fly about 200 yards max from their birthplace. If you have an infestation, it's worth it to ensure all standing water is dumped every 2-3 days, or to eliminate structures that allow water to pool. Asian tigers can breed in about a capful of water, so you need to be thorough when you review your property. [/quote]
