Where I am currently doesn't have a mosquito problem. But my friend in Louisiana uses it as a cutting oil in a mix of lemon grass oil and neem oil for a natural repellent for her kids. She swears it works...

Actually, a good "Bug repellant is easily made with one pint Witch Hazel, 20 drops of lemongrass oil, 20 drops eucalyptus oil, 20 drops cedarwood oil..." shake well, then put in a spray bottle...This is excellent for both people, horses, and dogs... I Spray it on a cloth to apply to my horses...Great on fleas and ticks for dogs Lavender is great to sprinkle a few drops on your pillow for a deeper sleep, and added to a carrier oil for a soothing effect for skin irritations...

I am just guessing that if it is muddy, there has to be water of some kind around/near. It seems logical it would work, but I don't know for sure. This might be a question to direct to the manufacturer, sending them photos of the area and more detailed information about if there is any water, if the water is trickling away down the creek so any BT would be moved off the target area, etc. Is there grass that is wet growing near the muddy creek which would hold moisture and provide mosquito breeding grounds? You may have to expand your treatment area to beyond just the muddy creek. Good luck!

If you don't run your fountain often, it becomes a haven for mosquitos; they like standing water. If you drain it when not in use, you have no issue. If you don't drain the fountain, then you should use the dunks. It is pretty effective.

That is specifially why I bought it. We have pet turtles and because of feeding them fruits and veggies, we get the fruit flies too. They aren't easy to whack, they are hard to see, but it does work on them. I haven't had an occasion to use it for mosquitoes yet.

Mix Lavender Oil with Vodka or Rubbing Alcohol, 10 drops Lavender Oil, 50 drops Alcohol - works great for mosquito bites and presser sores just as they start itching...

I used a garden sprayer (used to spray insect repellent etc.) worked well for us and would recommend setting sprayer on fine spray.

Fabric seems thick enough to provide protection, I guess it would depend on how large the mosquito. Used repellant on the material before use that will keep them away.

It helps to keep them mosquitos away for awhile...then they seem to get used to it. Just used it at a soccer game in a river town last week and my husband and I were much more comfortable than many others. It was better than not using anything. I will say that this works pretty well for gnats and smells good. Absorbine Jr. (muscle and joint topical liquid) works much better for mosquitos, but is stinky. You can find it in the OTC pharmacy department at WalMart or Walgreens.

We tend to have a mosquito problem. We do treat our water barrels for mosquitos. It does seem to help. Maybe just a precaution.

I used it two different ways.. I used almond oil to dilute it in a small spray bottle and i have also used it full strength placing a dab on wrists, elbows, neck, chest , ankles etc.. it works well for me in the summer repelling mosquitos.. i get eaten up by them if i don't use it!! You can mist your clothing.. careful cause it is an oil.. and also the area your sleeping in.. smells ok too.. kinda earthy.. have fun on your trip!!

use whenever you will be exposed to mosquitoes, going to the beach, mountain, etc. I suggest use before sunscreen, no combining.

The only reason I can think of as to why you have mosquitoes is that the contents are too wet. I suggest that you spray the contents with an Insecticidal Soap, midday if possible, and then either tip the contents out or, with help, lift the composting bin and let the contents fall out of the bottom. You need to let the contents dry out. Spread the compost out - or use it in your garden -and hopefully the mosquitoes will go somewhere else to breed!! The will only breed in wet areas, so you must make sure your compost bin is not near any standing water. Hope this helps.

We just used the cheap plastic hand held weed sprayer that all stores sell. Be be aware this product did not work for us in Georgia on tiger Mosquitos.

It does work on mosquitoes. You have to turn the fogger on high to blanket the area well but it takes a good while for them to come back.

My advice would be to take off the top and let it dry out for a little bit. Too much moisture breeds mosquitos.
