clear out your gutters- if they block up with leaves the mozzies will breed in the trapped water. otherwise keep a fan on and burn some citronella. don't clear away the spiders in the house. i leave all the old webs alone (much to the chagrin of my wife) and they help keep the mozzies at bay.

on a side note: only the females bite, they need blood for egg laying (i think). the males are vegetarian.

another side note: you worry about chemtrails and fluoride, yet are happy to soak your bathroom in insecticide?

Gutters are clear, there's a muddy patch where the gutters join the drains and that's about all I can find.

I don't lose sleep about chemtrails, and would prefer my water fluoride free... but I am more concerned about the insecticide use.
I usually dispatch an unwanted bug with my Reef's, but confronted with the 70+ mossies I was stuck for options. There's still couple flying around the living room as I write this.

I had a pet preying Mantis (~8cm long) in the bathroom and he didn't take too well to the insecticide... I washed him down and put him outside, he then disappeared I hope he made it.

Phone up the Illuminati and get them to do another chemtrails run.

What's their number?

Mozzies breed in the outside water traps for the house drains.
These can be floordrains for the laundry, bathroom, and toilet floors and sometimes for the kitchen sink, washbasins etc. In other words, wherever there is a water outlet from the house there can be a water trap into the sewer system.
Often these can be unscreened and the mozzies love them. They can also breed in air con. drain points, buckets left out for dogs or birds etc.
They only need a few spoonfuls of water to set up shop.
If your place is clear, maybe from next door.

^^^^^ all well and good PUP....but it kills all insects and spiders

ok - just do your house walls & leave the garden as it is Gyps , I had that concern as well so just sprayed the exterior walls only

still have a multitude of good guys crawling in the garden as usual

Edit: just have a big worry about the Ross River thing , that's nasty

I think I saw one of those on Ebay Gyps ..... good luck with that flying machine & hope it also doesn't snuff out the other buggies - bit of a catch 22 isn't it whatever way you go

My parents used to live in Pleasant Grove (suburb of Mandurah) and had similar problems with mozzies.

I picked up a bug zapper of the type you see bolted to the wall in cafe's and takeaways, removed the tray underneath that catches the fried bugs, hung it on an outside wall under the eaves of the shed and left it turned on.
It didnt clear the problem totally- but it attracted the mozzies and flies away from the house, and the pile of fried bugs and mozzies was pretty impressive under it- as were the colony of fat frogs it was feeding.

A pair of black light tubes and starters lasted around 18 months to 2 years before needing replacing.
no idea what it cost to run- but no chemicals involved.

Geez Gyps you are building quite a collection of zappers there honey

I don't see how they could breed in a p trap on a fixture that is being actively used, the water would flush them.
If you are on a septic I have heard about them breeding in the tank and transiting thru the plumbing vents on the roof. A simple screen will remedy this.

These are very effective but with the price of propane thru the roof, very expensive to run.

Not to sure about what you are saying.....as the bottle of propane for these
lasts approx 21 days and the refills are about $21...so $1 a day..
it is either $1 a day approx or

Don't go outside for 5 months of the year...
we have a 1400 m2 block and I would like to grow fruit and veg which so far I have
not yet been able to do...

Also we want to put in a 200 ms shed in with all the bells and whistles
which I wont do untill I know I can do something about the mozzies

Or wait for end of Autumn, winter or spring and sell and move...
we are 2 houses away from the river and boat ramp...
I would like to fix this situation (I hope)
rather than sell as we own our home and land now and to move it costs money

So for me....an approx $1000 out lay (unit + propane, electricity and pheromones )
is worth ago 1st
