Vet father in law should know it is highly toxic to cats. Cats lack liver enzymes needed to metabolize pyrethoid insecticides like Bifen.

I would also caution against using Bifen if you want to have a viable garden.

You got a point there.

I don't have cats.

Malathion in pump sprayer
Attach wand to end of leaf blower

Spray and blow
Get all in trees and shrubs etc all over yard

Cutter yard spray works best for me. Uses Lambda-Cyhalothrin. Screws on your water hose.

Thermacells work good if you're sitting around outside.

Off Deep Woods works great too if you're walking around.

Mosquito Joes once a month May through September has worked for us. Neighbors have been congregating in our yard for years to avoid the mosquitos in the evening.

I think I will try the buckets of Doom traps idea. Makes sense. I have been putting out the Spartan traps for years since discovering them. Not really convinced they do much.

My wife swears by some lotion she gets, not a specific repellent lotion. I have to admit it does seem to help. I will find the name.

Have heard of that, but no, it is this stuff. It's a lotion. No bad smell. Not sold for the purpose, but it definitely works.

Gotta implement some strategy tomorrow. Getting bad this week.

Cheap and works fantastic. Spray the day before or morning of. Its also an orbital nuke for ant beds. Just douse the *******s and it soaks down into the bed and they all die in a few mins. I refill mine with a bifen/water concentrate mix

May already have been mentioned but we do the mosquito dunk buckets. We put out five around our property (about a 1/3rd acre) in Fort Worth. Works better than whatever spraying and other techniques we've tried.

Put them out now as the mosquitos are only starting to breed and dunks kill the eggs. We put mesh over the tops for pets but it's supposedly pet safe.
