    What’s your go to for these Pesky Skeeters

    We have a screened area. That we like to sit out in the evening. It’s 24 X 12. What do you all use to keep skeeters away. I personally don’t care for spraying and breathing chemical.

      Citranella torches but I don't like the smell.

            We use the citronella candles on the porch and the tiki torch cans out in the yard but still have the use off or deep woods spray if working in yard. Skeeters getting bad already with the rain we had.

              Get you a good fogger and fog the whole area before you want to use it. Doesn’t work well in the wind though.

                      We have a mosquito system that comes on at dawn and dusk. Zippo on skeeters all summer long....my girls wont even go in the yard or pool if it is buggy......but we are into pesticides!

                        Been using Spartan Mosquito Control for a few years. You hang them up on the perimeter of you yard. Change them out every 3 or 4 months.

                          I also use them, and have for several years. They definitely help, when I go to my neighbors I can tell the difference. They won’t deter them like thermacell for up close areas.
