Mosquitos, ugh. :(

Are there any natural or organic sprays you can use? Eliminate pools of standing water, of course.

All the heat + humidity have really ramped up the problems that go along with it. Bleah. Take heart, though--the swallows go where there is the richest food source, yes? That means someone else has MORE mosquitos than you.

No Velvet. We use no organic or inorganic sprays at all. I wish we could call them back right now!

I grab huge handfuls of the nearest catnip plant, mash it up until it is juicy and then rub the juice on my skin. Keeps away mosquitoes and flies as well as any commercial repellent and it makes my moggie, Marilla, love me more than ever. LOL.

If the idea of applying it is distasteful (personally I rather like the scent) then try just crushing several branches to release the smell and placing them near you. I use catnip on top of the rabbit cages to make them more comfortable in the worst of mosquito weather.

I'm a semi-organic gardener. That means I'm to cheap to buy pesticides and to lazy to file for organic certification. I have used mosquito dunks instead of spraying with great success in my pasture. They release an enzyme that kills the larvae without harming anything else. I'm pretty sure they are safe for certified organic use.
If they are breeding in water troughs or a pond etc, just buy a few cheap goldfish and dump them in.

This is really what I would NOT suggest to anybody. But, I have had Chemo since last May, and I have not one BUG land on me yet this year!
