Need some serious Mosquito Help...

my backyard is INFESTED with mostquitos..if you are out there more than 5 minutes you are guaranteed to get bit!

The worst part is my daughter (4 yrs old) is allergic and they swell up and ooze and it is gross...she has some permanent scars from old ones...and yesterday we werent even out 45 min and i STOPPED counting how many she has at about 40!!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Thank god for Benedryl!

My DH tried some spray/foam last week and it didnt even help a little !! Chat Icon

HE now thinks it is because our dry wells that have water in them underground..I am not sure how true that is..I also think maybe it is because our sprinklers go off every day and there is constantly wet grass & water on our property..It is in our backyard and even in the front of our house too! =(

My DH read somewhere that garlic oil repells them and kills larvae and so he put that in places he think is causing the problem!


MY PROBLEM is that my DH is the ultimate "Mr. Fix-it" and NEVER seeks professional help...he does EVERYTHING around the house and to our cars and I think it is time to call in the professionals and he just gets mad at me! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

WHAT CAN WE DO!?!?!

sorry this turned into a vent! HAHA!Chat Icon Chat Icon any help would be appreciated! Chat Icon

Re: Need some serious Mosquito Help...

I would love to know if there is a fix for this also. MY MIL's house has crazy mosquitos, but I think her's are coming from the sump.
