How do you all avoid mosquitoes while gardening?
Return to DiscussionsEating garlic will help keep them away as well as ticks
It also helps with "Social distancing" ;-)
I picked up 3 "Mosquito Magnets" cheap at auctions. I followed Youtube instructions on teardown and cleaning them. I get about 3.5 weeks out of each 20 pound LP tank. The first year I got a full sandwich bag of dead skeeters from each MM ;-) following years have been less and less, even after cleanings, and the skeeter population is nowhere near what it used to be ;-)
I use a product called Natural Insect Repellent. I buy it at wal Mart where it is typically in the baby section. Its made by Babyganics and does an excellent job. I have tried all the usual methods but this works the best. Since its designed for small children...it is supposed to be gentle. Good luck.
