Talstar insecticide worked incredibly well to kill the mosquitos in my backyard. 1oz per gallon. In a cheapo pump sprayer. Spray the perimeter fences. Around the base of shrubs. Shady corners. etc. I tried being organic and chemical free for 5-6 years. Nothing worked. And I was miserable in my own backyard for the entire summer. This stuff works wonders. Buy the smaller bottle, it goes a long way. 1oz/1gallon/1month.

I just sent this to my friend in Savannah. She's frustrated that she can't use her yard too.
If anyone wants a less-toxic method for keeping the skeeters at bay, I posted about this here a few years back ... a formula given to me by another forum member:
Mix 1 cup each of witch hazel and apple cider vinegar, add about 10 drops of essential oil***, shake thoroughly, spray yourself liberally. Smells great and they leave you alone.
***Best essential oils to use: Lemon Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Thyme. Regular eucalyptus, rosemary and Peppermint also work but don't last anywhere near as long as these three.
