Thanks! I gotta try this. Does it keep flies away too?

It keeps most bugs out of the yard! We've been using it for three seasons now. We really wanted to get away from the chemicals. We don't use any chemical pesticides or fertilizer in our gardens either. We are growing a beautiful habitat here for the birds and butterflies. We live in the woods, so we are very nature friendly. We just don't want the mosquito in the yard with the grandkids and dogs

I thought it was Florida State Bird because of the swamps and stuff lol

I love swamps. Swamps, bogs, marshes, wetlands, and vernal ponds, etc.
I have a great one just south of my plot of paradise. See it below.

Definitely Texas state bird. They can carry you away...

So true!

I've never been to FL. Are they huge down there too? I grew up in AZ so I had never seen a mosquito until my early twenties when I came to MI. I hate them with a passion.

Honey, they might be big in Texas but in Florida they have crazy glue on them. Once they land on you, they will not leave you no matter how much you dance,lol

Swamp people,lol That is a show I believe about Louisiana and Mississippi swamps. You are very close to the lake also! Nice! I do not know how to swim, (yeah right coming froman island) but love the water, Water in a roofed pool that is. No ocean, lake or anything else. I like the ocean more than anything and I would go in for a bit and not far in if it is a cloudy day. Cannot stand the sun and by the ocean it is worse because it sticks on me with the salt of the water. I go home and I am either inside most of the time, in a car with ac or if outside, must wear a long sleeve shirt. Now imagine at 100 heat, I just drench of sweat every day back home.

Yeah but you get all the stuff on you, blood and intestines of the bug!

By the way, I seem very rude to @gardeningwithchickens because I had not welcome them nor introduce myself. I apologize. My manner are not like this for the most part.
Welcome to the best BYC group from the whole internet and website,
Hi, my name is Dory, oops wrong movie, I am Lizette or whatever you would like to call me. I am not the baby of the group anymore because you are it now, This group is amazing! I keep learning as much as I can. The best thing is that not one in here are judgmental and you can talk not just chicken, but anything you want. This is a great group.!

Ok, Manners done. Now, my lovelies, Could not go to bed last night. Had to get Rachel (RIR) in because she was being crazy inthe coop so I grabbed her and we both went to the front of the house to turn the lights on. After a few minutes,I took her back and all was fine from there on. She thinks the whole coop is for her and for her only. So I had to talk with her and explained that it was for all of them and that I love them all. (I know I was not heard) However, tonight she just went up and did not bothered anyone. I went to bed at 5am and I felt llike my heart was pumping so hard that the bed was also moving. Weird. Anyways, got out of bed around 1030am and had to rapidly take meds and head out the door. Went to UPS and yes, Sally, sent your sign. Once you get it, I will post the sign here,lol Then went to walmart to get plastic dog bowls for the chickens. I like them a lot better. Easy for me to bring them in and wash them and then take them back in the morning with scratch or sometimes scraps from the refrigerator. They had their feed there and all is good. But they had the BP machine and since it had been 2 hrs since I took the pill, I took my BP. WOW! it was 171/94. I am a walking dead, lol But the Lisinopril makes me cough a lot and that did not let me sleep at all last night.

By Saturday, I do not have to put the corid anymore. No more blood in the coop or anywhere. I checked that big piece I grabbed from the floor and it was all woodchips in blood. No poop. 5 days preventative should be enough, right?
