Can't find standing water or breeding grounds, but they are tearing us up!

That looks interesting, how long does it last on the lawn?Ive had good luck with Dr T's mosquito granules. Totally safe to pets, kids and envoironment.
The instructions say to repeat the application in 30 days, but I go as long as 6 weeks before I notice the mosquitos starting to come back. Ive tried several of the safe granule type brands, and this one works great in my yard. It has a garlic odor when you first throw it out, but after a couple of hours, the odor is completely dissipated.
Ive been using it for 2 years now and Im sold on it. And its relatively inexpensive compared to lots of other methods of mosquito control.
I had a mosquito magnet years ago, it never seemed to do all that much except burn up a tank of propane about every 2-3 weeks, then it was stolen out of my yard, which probably saved me money on wasted propane in the long run. Sure there would always be dead mosquitoes in the trap, but it only ever seemed to catch a small fraction of them.
Do you just throw on the ground, or target puddle areas? I don't have standing water, but curious.
just toss it around on the ground. Its not a poison, so targeting puddles is of no use with this stuff. Its a repellent made of garlic, lemonseed, and several other natural stuff that mosquitos dont like.
I just toss it on the ground all around the pool and patio where we hang out.
