If we move to a different area, the high exposure months may change and so would our schedule... but right now in michigan there's no need for year round. | Glad you mentioned this...I actually have mine on the interceptor from May to October...By November 1st, we're good w/o mosquitoes...And w/me spraying my yard w/the organic cedar oil, my yard is not their (the mosquitoes) fav place to be anyway... |
