Mosquitos

12 years ago
How do you control the Mozzies? They are quite numerous here in the ATL.

    Mosquito-repellent plants might help to reduce mosquito presence. In ATL you're in USDA zone 7b-8a, you can plant the following in containers or in the ground: Basil, Ageratum, Citronella, Pennyroyal, Lavender, Catnip, Catmint, Rosemary, Geranium, Marigold, Horsemint. Good luck!

    I use mosquito fogger about once to two times a week and mosquitoes are as good as gone from my yard.

    This looks like a truly 'natural' pool (no chemicals). I am planning a building a natural pool in Gainesville, FL. Do you offer consultation?

    The pond is constantly moving, so there are no mosquitoes. We also added fish which eat the larvae. The pool was a treated swimming pool with a salt system, so no mosquitoes there either. I recommend doing the easy things first. Eliminate standing water, provide for good air flow, and avoid the yard in the evenings in the summer. If you must spray, you can use a fogger several hours before a party or event. But I'm not a fan of using pesticides.
