What finally worked for me was using the mosquito dunks in what I call mosquito traps. I take 5 gallon buckets and fill them about a third full with water. I throw in a few leaves to recreate a natural water collection area and then I put in a piece of the mosquito dunk. I actually WANT the mosquitoes to find these traps and use them to lay their eggs. So I place them all over the yard wherever I have noticed collections of mosquitoes. After about a couple of weeks, you will notice that your mosquito population has plummeted! I have only been bit by one mosquito this year, and I have never used any repellent spray.

This breaks their life cycle. After the adults lay their eggs, the eggs die and soon after the adults die as well. Pretty soon, no more mosquito population!

The dunks are great! I got a tip from another creator that worked so well and so I pass it on. Get three or four pails and fill 1/3 of the way with water, add a dunks and place throughout your yard. In 5 to 10 days misquotes will be gone. Adults will have lived their lifecycle, laid eggs that the dunks with kill. Once you’ve broken their lifecycle you’ll be free of them.

I love the disclaimer that you can't eat the donuts.

This is a man that has dealt with the public.

As a former pest control technician that specialized in mosquitos, this is a very informative video. I just bought that leaf blower attachment, I'm excited to use it, never realized how spoiled I was when I had my professional gear, carrying around a 5 gallon sprayer can get heavy at times. Also OneGuard is a great insect growth regulator and knockdown formula for up to 45 days of protection, it's what I use in Houston and it works every time.

I followed your advise a year ago and bought my own Stihl sprayer for mosquitoes and ticks using Demand CS. It had already paid for itself spraying my 2 acres along with my daughters and niece’s home. Everyone is happy with the results and I only spend about $80 a season. I watched this video as a recap, I value your advise. Thanks!

Mosquito Sniper System is legit. Been using it for 2 years now with excellent results. Easy to setup and use too.

Great vid. We have used sprayer with mild soap water. Spraying lawns and any bushes etc. seem to have worked. The concept i have been told is that mosquitoes land in those areas for rest and get soap on them. They cant land on water after that since soap disturbs water surface tension, so they cant lay eggs. Just reapply after rains. We reapply weekly.

[ScottysBirdsandBeasts]

You said it at the end...."the mosquitos have been out of control this year". Man, thats the truth. We went from none to overrun. I like the blower gadget, great idea. Thanks for the video.

I have a couple tips/ways that might be helpful for some people -
1) you can attract dragonflies, bats and/or the many types of birds that feed on mosquitos
2) you can plant some of the many different types of plants that repel mosquitoes (catnip, mint, sage, etc)

personally I'm partial to attracting the dragonflies and birds - we love watching them fly around

You said to mention if we have a way to make this better.
For years now I have been adding a tire valve to my manual pump sprayers so that I can quickly recharge the pressure with my air compressor. A 1/2" drill bit is perfect. A common tire valve and some string to fish the valve through the hole. A pair of channel locks works well to get it locked into place but I just bought a tool kit for doing this from Amazon for $10 and it came with valves, the tool to screw onto the valve and a stem tool.
A small amount of dish soap or any lubricant you are comfortable with can make it a bit easier. I just started treating the threads of the pump insert hoping to keep it from getting stuck as they always do for me.
With the sprayer you showed it has an overpressure valve so I just use my air compressor to add air until the valve starts to release. I then have maximum pressure that's safe. In the past I have added an inexpensive pressure gauge by drilling an additional hole and screwing the gauge in but personally I'm confident with knowing how much air to put in the one I have that does not have the release valve.
A powered sprayer would be great but they come at a great cost. We spray a couple of organic liquids on our garden; Neem oil, and Spinosad, and it's convenient to have a sprayer for each one with the tire valve for quick recharge. With our garden size we would need to pump it manually three or four times per use.
I'm confident you could perfect this method in a video if you wanted to.
As far as I can recall I thought of this idea on my own. I know I've never seen it in a video but I haven't specifically looked for a video either.
Nice job on this video as always.

Few years back, when I had a lawn, we used to spray concentrated garlic for Mosquitoes and Ticks. Worked pretty well too. Smelled like a restaurant for a few days but hey, no bugs.

[whatthefunction]

Caution. Those mosquito donuts go bad over time. Store in refrigerator

[BenNawrath]

the other day I took my small sprayer with neem oil in it and just pointed it at the end of my (also EGO) blower and it worked awesome. I had seen that attachment and was considering it, but decided to give this a try for my sunflowers. Worked awesome.

[MyMy-tvfd]

fourth method, totally free: put out a trough which encourages mosquitoes to lay - then empty it out every three days to kill all the larvae, refill to encourage more laying, empty out in three days... If you are going away on holiday put a dunkin donut in it to get them with the bacteria, or just leave it empty. Fifth method: add goldfish to the pond, they LOVE mosquito larvae

I bought a STIHL backpack sprayer, brand new, for $450 and cannoned my area in Bifenthrin. Insane results. It went from bugs so thick you would inhale them to being dead quiet.

I avoided any flowering bushes and still see bumble bees, and dragonflies. Game changer.

[DaveBattle]

I bought into the Mosquito Sniper system awhile ago and it's fantastic! I use it with my Greenworks blower and Greenworks battery powered backpack sprayer. The battery backpack makes all the difference. No need to pump and you can easily switch between hands for the blower when it starts to get a little tiring. The people at Mosquito Sniper are fantastic. Their customer service is exceptional and fast. I can't recommend enough. Previous years I was spending over $1k to get the exact same treatment that I can do for less than $15 per treatment now. Ticks were a huge issue in our yard and that is no longer the case.

[lesshelest]

I just sprayed my whole yard using sniper system with Milwaukee leaf blower + m12 sprayer. It worked as well as it gets. Since I found your channel my yard looks times better. Thanks to you I now own free roadside lawnmower that I fixed myself. Thank you for such a great content. It is always reliably helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Los]

I’m going to throw a mosquito donut in my neighbors pool

[Curious_Skeptic]

THIS IS AWESOME! I could see me mounting this system on my push blower (which not is converted to mount on my tractor). I can just fill the 4 gallon tank with the chems, turn on the electric pump, and drive the gas blower around the property. Would save thousands and most likely be more affective than any other option. You'd da man for showing this stuff! Thanks.

If you have items that hold water like a couple of extra spare tires or something to heavy or awkward to empty the water from, just give it a squirt of Dawn dish washing liquid. It will kill any larva already swimming in the water. Even better, female mosquitoes actually land on the water to lay their eggs. The soap reduces surface tension of the water so instead of standing on the water and laying her eggs, the female mosquito instantly sinks and drowns.
I don't use exact measurements myself, I just walk the yard with the Dawn bottle and give a squeeze into any mosquito breeders I find, but a tablespoon per estimated gallon of water should be more than enough.
