Nature must be tamed...
I realize that nature in its untouched state would be far to brutal to live in....it must be tamed...
here between the mosquitoes and the horrible flies that constantly swarm you its miserable outside...especially when its rained....all that water attracts so many mosquitoes

does anyone know of a good really cheap solution to keep mosquitoes away?
something i can put in my backyard? is there anything better than the citranela candles? also around the same price?
anyone know of any family secrets?

1. I'm currently working on this problem.
I'm designing tiny little anti-aircraft guns. If I can only get a few more investors...

5. Do you have a mosquito abatement district?
If you call them up they may be able to come out and let you know if there's any standing water or anything that's contributing to the problem, maybe hook you up with some mosquitofish if you have a pond or something.

Kiss My Face makes a mosquito repellent called Swy Flotter that works really well. I don't know of a better area repellent than citronella though.
