| Make sure they have no water sources (bird baths, buckets, old tires, etc). Also, you can buy dunks that kill them for any water sources (gross swamps and such) around your house.

| once a month I use the ortho mesquito be gone (i think it is called). I get it at walmart about $9. it works pretty good. don't let your pets in the yard until it dries. but after that it is ok to let them on the grass. I have to use it here or we would be ate up. hope this helps.

| I live in a province in Canada were these nasty things are known as our provincial birds . What works for us is burning citronella candles or oil and using Avons "Skin so soft" bug guard lotion.
