I have good luck with the above product. Halt Flea & Tick with citronella. It works for mosquitoes too. I get it at Tractor Supply Title: Re: mosquitoes Post by: JDJP on October 21, 2011, 12:16:01 pm I use permethryn, I spray it around the porch on the screens, and around the pens. I decided not to spray it directly on the dogs after reading about it. Also I think I read about it being sprayed on your clothes, but I'm not sure you wanna spray it on your skin, or the dog. Could be wrong. Deet is in most of the but repellent I use on myself, but I know that is bad for your dogs
Title: Re: mosquitoes Post by: make-em-squeel on October 21, 2011, 12:34:35 pm I bought cheap garlic capsules from the grocery store and it helps, sulfer all around them did to. It defiantly made a difference but my problem is not as severe as yours.
FYI taking those garlic pills before hunting or doing anything outside works great for humans! I learned this from some africans who would die from mosquito bites without it, gave it a try and worked better than off! Title: Re: mosquitoes Post by: halfbreed on October 21, 2011, 12:53:18 pm garlic does work wonders me and my trappin buddy would be out runnin traps in the bottums and skeeters would be eatin him up and not bothering me at all . i told him he needed to eat more garlic i love it put it in bout everything i cook .

My wife is Mediterranian and we eat copious amounts of garlic and yet I am still the one that mosquitoes swarm to. I think its because I am diabetic and just sweet tasting.Title: Re: mosquitoes Post by: Reuben on October 21, 2011, 02:14:15 pm Cutter yard spray is the best I Have found to repel mosquitoes in the yard As well as on the dogs...works from two weeks to a month but the bottle gives a longer dgate...covers 5000 sq ft... Can buy it at lowes etc for about ten bucks...
