February 16, 201115 yr Since a week large swarms of tiny little annoying mosquitoes in my garden and elsewhere in town, and they don't respond to any aerosol, <deleted> !!! How to get rid of them, any tips ? A WW2 German flame thrower is hard to get.
February 16, 201115 yr Myanmar are developing nuclear weapons, maybe you ask if they want to use your backyard for a test.
February 16, 201115 yr Try getting an electric insect killer. Bought one from HomePro for my front garden and switched it on during night time. Each morning I count the carcasses It certainly helped to reduce the mosquito population for sure.

February 16, 201115 yr Frogs eat many mosquitoes, disadvantage is some noise in the evening and night but almost no mosquitoes.

February 16, 201115 yr Frogs eat many mosquitoes, disadvantage is some noise in the evening and night but almost no mosquitoes. Another disadvantage is that frogs can't fly They don't have to. A mosquito lives only 1-3 weeks, but lay many eggs. Frogs eat the larva's. But your problem has to do with some open standing water in the neighborhood.
February 16, 201115 yr I have some cane toads that will eat anything and everything, they would love to come and visit.
February 16, 201115 yr Author I have some cane toads that will eat anything and everything, they would love to come and visit. You're welcome with your little friends. Enjoy your meal (hope they don't eat my dogs Bingo, Diesel and Fred)
February 17, 201115 yr Plant some lavender. Its a natural deterrent. Or just ask them politely... Sounds good to me. Does anyone know where I can buy lavender plants in Chiang Mai?
February 17, 201115 yr Makro sell a gigantic bug zapper for 500bht, stick one of those outside. (Smaller ones from 200bht)
February 17, 201115 yr I have some cane toads that will eat anything and everything, they would love to come and visit. Do the cane toads eat the adult mosquitoes? or just the larvae? I heard bats and dragonflies are mosquito predators. Build a bat box or get a pond. According to the guy with the insect museum near nimman, the is a larger species of mosquito that feeds on the larvae of the dengue carrying striped mosquito. This larger species doesn't feed on humans, only animals. He said that if he was the government, he would be breeding large colonies in an attempt to wipe out dengue fever. The spraying that the government do is never going to do the job. But then, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a rich politician who owns the spraying companies. I've noticed a marked increase in the number of mosquitoes recently, as the cold season comes to an end. More flies too.
February 17, 201115 yr bats can eat 1000 mosquitoes per hour, apparently! http://www.fws.gov/Asheville/pdfs/beneficialbats.pdf
February 17, 201115 yr Thank heaven for bats. Problem with frogs and toads is that they eat all my little fish when they run out of mozzies Homepro now sell fans that as well as blasting out air have little capsules that you can insert when needed and it will launch repelant attack on the mozzies, about 4,600B
February 17, 201115 yr Well, although mentioned before in this thread- have you eliminated absolutely every bit of standing water on your property? One humble little plant in a clay pot, with a clay water dish below, could possibly breed hundreds of these pests. Good luck in your endeavors.
February 19, 201115 yr In the house I use Windex window cleaner in a fine mist: works 100%. Never tried outdoors. Most insect sprays are nerve agents; thus I never use them. Whatever your poison, ensure no stagnant water or moist dark spots like under sinks, storage sheds etc
February 22, 201115 yr When ever you can empty out standing water in small containers do it, but in bigger ones, I throw in some 10b little fish that eat the lava's, works very well. I read that if you get bitten by a mosquito at home, there is a 90 something percent chance it was born and will die within 100m of your house.
