The Fort Worth area received an unusual amount of rain this spring and with the rain comes the mosquitoes. I make an organic yard spray out of natural herbs and oil that keeps mosquitoes at bay. There are organic sprays that cost about $150/gallon of concentrated ingredients. If interested in my formula let me know. Cost is about $20 (will cover 16,000 sq') and time to make will take about 1/2 hour. Let's make this neighborhood a mosquito free area.

The city of Dallas and other metropolitan areas across the country have been foolish. These cities have listened to the chemical pushers under the misconception that spraying toxic chemicals is helpful in controlling the mosquitoes.
