Hmm I can't say I know the names of the types of mosquitos have. I'm in SW Ontario. Anyone able to shed some light?

What I've found on Ontario mosquito species:

quote:

The most commonly identified mosquitos are:

Aedes vexans (30% of all mosquitoes identified)
Coquillettidia perturbans (25%)
Culex pipiens/restuans (14%)
Ochlerotatus trivittatus (7%)
Ochlerotatus stimulans (6%)

Also it sounds like we don't have those tiger goes yet (aedes albopictus?).

I'm leaning to this garlic sauce of yours a try, Mo.

Gotta love a post with the cat tax built in. It's like Europe's VAT!

Edit: CAT!

On Mo's rec, I used garlic juice earlier in the season and found it effective against 80-90% of the mosquitos, and the remaining were clearly a different species (stripes guys). Lasted 4-6 weeks, bit sensitive to the weather (rain in particular, wind close to application day).

Was like $50 cad which got me two applications. Seemed cost effective and Ill likely try it again next year. Next step. is one of those propane or CO2 kits and they are not cheap haha.
