 Mosquito Traps

I have been real suspicious of DEET ever since I left some in my tackle box over the winter. It ate EVERYTHING that was plastic.

Parts of a good quality fishing reel collapsed when I touched it and the fishing line looked like quartz sand.

I have heard the propane powered traps are quite effective, but I haven't tried one.

 Mosquito Traps

Mike, as I am sure you are aware, my point (which was a little oblique) is that if DEET dissolves fishing line what the hell is it doing to our innards?

I have a friend who still lives in Alaska (someone Wildman knows too) who eats garlic by the clove. Sometimes at parties he will let mosquitoes land on his arm while everyone watches. As soon as the insect starts to draw blood it falls to the ground dead.

 Mosquito Traps

Sounds like the mosquito magnet really sucks. Or really doesn't suck, which sucks... oh never mind.

I live just above a river basin with swamps and flooded pastures. Mosquito's are a real problem... even here in the desert.

About once a month the county or state hires a helicopter to drop those larvae killing crystals on the standing water in the pastures and we are seeing some relief this year.

Now.. anybody know how to neutralize horse flies?
