[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 173665, member: 3704"] Nomad, Check for shallow puddles of water - they can be in plant pot bottoms, gutters, drain pipes , and holes in trees. Empty the water - and if you can't empty the water you can buy "doughnuts" of chemicals that kill the larvae to place in the puddle. You can usually find the "doughnuts" at the hardware store. We had horrible problems here before our last two drought years. We had the county extension agent come to our neighborhood to investigate and he said our problem was mosquitoes in the trees! Any hole in a tree - or place where a branch has fallen off can harbor enough water for the pests to breed. Because we couldn't do anything about the trees (we have way too many old oaks in our neighborhood) we resorted to fogging when we wanted to be outside for a while. [/QUOTE]
