[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an industrial mosquito farm in our backyard that abutts to a perpetually damp area. The little striped tiger mosquitos don't even need standing water to bread. Damp soil will do. We pay Mosquito Squad to poison the hell out of them. It's the difference between being able to go outside and not. Worth it for us. [/quote]

The people saying 'don't spray' have no idea what it's like to live in a mosquito infested area.[/quote]
No, we know. We also know that for your comfort you’re demolishing entire insect and bird ecosystems.

Doesn’t your city do mosquito dunks? Presumably if you live in an area that is “perpetually damp,” it’s something that your city or county treats, no?

Ironically, if you made your yards hospitable to a range of birds, they’d help attack the tiger mosquito populations (even Orkin thinks so: https://www.orkin.com/pests/mosquitoes/what-eats-mosquitoes) But you’re too busy poisoning your neighborhood and, I would suspect, that you are of the c lawn that is regularly chemically treated with absolutely no native plants homeowners, thereby guaranteeing that you have no birds (and no bats, but tiger mosquitos are active all day when bats are not).

You can fix this. You just don’t like the fix. [/quote]

Nope. Wrong. Crunchy AF over here. Putting in what we can on property we have control over, including native plantings. But we have to be able to go outside to do it. Our city that your "progressive" butt probably doesn't want to live in (PG) doesn't do squat. The polinators seem to do fine with the treatment we pay for. [/quote]

Your reasoning makes no sense. It's like saying cancer doesn't kill people because you still see plenty of people around. The reality is that you are luring pollinators and then poisoning them. Nice job, "Crunchy AF."[/quote]
