Well...It's that time of year again: it's been steadily getting hotter and hotter here in FL, save a few cool spells, and the mosquitoes are getting awful again.
I believe I have asked about this before on here...if any of you remember, my family and I moved a few months ago, and the new home has had so many bugs because it sat empty for a long time with no one living here. The mosquitoes are just terrible when it gets hot like this. Thankfully we moved around October so fall and winter were around the corner, but in the heat I've had to resort to relying on a fan to blow most of them away and continually applying fly spray to my rabbits, who have been less than thrilled about it, lol.
I did set up a bug zapper too that we have but I don't think it does much from previous experience... at least mosquito-wise.
Anyways, does anyone know of and mind re-telling me about some 'natural' ways to try to keep down the mosquitoes? I remember there was a type of plant I could buy, but I know there were a few other things to either spread/put around their hutch and run or make something to spray/spread.
The one thing I wanted to ask (and I'll research some stuff too--but I like personal opinions/experiences!) is does anyone know if pine sol will keep down mosquitoes? Similar to my situation here, at the barn I ride at the flies are getting bad again and one of the ladies was spraying pine sol around some of the stalls and it helped a ton with the flies, so I was curious if it knocked back mosquitoes too?
Thanks bunny people!
