For those of you who are new to Baldy in the summer, the mosquitos are usually bad for a couple of weeks. They can lay an incredible amount of eggs in a small amount of water, so empty anything in your yard that has a puddle in it. They are worse in the shade.
I have a "Thermacell" unit that clips to the belt and works fairly well. The pads are impregnated with an insecticide derived from Chrysanthemums.
Yesterday, I did some research after seeing a chart on Castanet. Mosquitos apparently don't like the smell of basil, and ticks don't like rosemary.
An observation of mine..........they like city blood.
