Killing mosquitoes with organic control or Permethrin based pesticide.

We have lot of mosquitoes this year in our back yard.  I avoid using chemicals in my yard.  With lot o West Nile virus in news, I tried to get rid of mosquitoes.

I tried following two products.  I went with Ecosmart first.  No effect at all.  Next day the yard was full of mosquitoes.  I think this was wastage of money.

Then I tried Bonide Mosquito beater.  I tried about 10 days back.  For one week it had good effect.  Now I can see mosquito creeping back again.  I will try this product again and see the results.

Bonide Mosquito beater covered more area than Ecosmart.  I used the same hose and it seems Bonide lasted for longer time as I sprayed.



Ecosmart 32 oz. concentrate organic mosquito and tick control kills and repels mosquitoes, ticks and other nuisance pests. The concentrate comes in a ready-to-use spray bottle that connects to your garden hose. The organic, non-toxic formula is safe to use around children and pets. This 32 oz. Bottle will treat up to 5,000 sq. ft. of your yard.

Mosquito Beater RTS
2.5% Permethrin Kills and repels mosquitoes, flies, gnats...1qt. protects 5000 sq. ft. Simply attach to garden hose and apply. Low odor, water based Permethrin.

I am looking in to foggers to get rid of mosquitoes.  Electric foggers sound s good as I can cover my whole yard with extension cord.  I am not sure about side effects.
