sleeveofwizzard 104 Posted July 16, 2013 Here in California the county has a Mosquito Abatement Team that drive jeeps around looking for ponds and stagnant water. They have a bag full of tricks to get rid of pesky mosquitoes including pesticides but for pools, ponds and places that are not safe to use poison that drop in small fish that eat the mosquitoes.

I saw a special on tv about the fish thing a while back and thought it was pretty cool no toxins or bad chemicals in the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 17, 2013 I can remember being on the small lakes when I lived in NY and the black flies would carry you away, down here the mosquitoes work for the red cross accepting blood donations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
