Damn little buggers are really bad this year, time to do something about the mosquito population people, dump any standing water around your properties, keep grass cut short, and spray with Grandmas home remedy make some Non toxic pesticide. To keep mosquitoes and other bugs at bay, spray the yard with a spicy onion spray. Place four onions, four bulbs of garlic, 4 tbsp. of hot pepper sauce and 1 qt. of water into a blender and mix until smooth. Filter the contents to remove any solids, then transfer the solution to the canister end of a hose-end sprayer and spread the fiery blend evenly over the landscape.

Breeding Grounds While yard sprays can help keep mosquitoes at bay, destroying any nearby breeding grounds has a much greater impact on the local mosquito population. Mosquitoes lay their eggs under water; consequently, they tend to be drawn to slow-moving streams, standing pools or stagnant puddles. To eliminate potential breeding sites, drain any buckets, cans, wheelbarrows or containers and leave them resting upside down to prevent unintentional water collection, and change the water in birdbaths, pet water dishes and wading pools at least twice a week to remove the eggs that are already present.
