What about mosquitoes?

We have lots o woods and English Ivy and the mosquitoes are awful

There is no standing water anywhere nearby

They gotta be living in the leaves and ivy on the ground

Mosquitoes can breed in as little as a bottle cap full of water, you also want to check the gutters they often will hold water, you really don't need to treat for mosquitoes if you can find and remove the breeding areas.. if you still want to the treat the ivy and any thick evergreens use telstar p liquid,mix according to directions in a back pack sprayer or hand sprayer and treat all thick vegetation..

Bump for another question on termite bond:

I have a company trying to sell me on Centricon and a bond. I've never been a fan of "bait" systems. Which is better if you are going to treat, centricon/bait or liquid treatment?

Thought that's what you were talking about. I didn't know where to get it. THANKS!

Be sure it is labeled "FOOD GRADE" before you use near people or pets.the DE you put in your pool filter system will KILL you.
