Every two weeks I also shake Mosquito Bits in wet areas (birdbath, fountain, french drain, down spouts, moist fern areas, etc) to kill larvae before they are old enough to bite. Finally, a once-a-week hose-end spray of either citronella or cedar oil repels the last of the little buggers. Now, I get to relax and enjoy my garden without being harassed and annoyed.
