But the huge majority of them came with the bark delivery. I saw the little baby mosquitoes SWARMING out of the bark pile they dropped in my driveway. And I've now heard it's not uncommon at all for bark to be infested with mosquitoes. *sigh*<BR/><BR/>This is probably the last time I'll ever have bark delivered. I know it's pretty, but it's not actually that good for your yard or plants. I think next year I'll just go with a nice, dark topsoil that looks just as attractive.<BR/><BR/>Nature does have a wonderful way of balancing itself out though... Since this blog, the dragonflies and hover bees (not sure what they're actually called, but they hover and stare at things) have been devouring the mosquitoes. So our population is back to normal levels. Still annoying, but manageable with natural mosquito body spray.<BR/><BR/>I'm still looking into a natural pest control company though... :)Green Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340007347253702714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094985297040698855.post-78291374678767948902007-08-05T19:17:00.000-07:002007-08-05T19:17:00.000-07:00ferbit - till what time hae the mosquitoes been co...ferbit - till what time hae the mosquitoes been coming over ? and the damage/terror :) has been caused due to bark soil ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094985297040698855.post-51155451092267178372007-07-28T07:31:00.000-07:002007-07-28T07:31:00.000-07:0010 cubic yards of bark was delivered, along with 1...10 cubic yards of bark was delivered, along with 10 cubic yards of garden soil. The garden soil was fine. It was just the bark. What was really creepy was to look at the pile closely and the itty bitty things were literally swarming it.<BR/><BR/>The interesting/funny part about all of this is we've certainly attracted more dragonflies and "hover" bees. They're having a FEAST on all of these mosquitoes.<BR/><BR/>It is possible they're breeding on my neighbor's front lawn. It's extremely soggy, but fixing that would be a major underground piping project. We were actually talking about this yesterday. She can barely mow that side of her yard, it's so soggy.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't get that Mosquito Barrier product. They won't ship to Washington state. :-( Something about EPA labeling. For GARLIC OIL??? Anyway, I begged them to ship it to me "secretely" but was denied.<BR/><BR/>So I found an organic, garlic spray at Fred Meyer yesterday that I sprayed this morning. It's not nearly as potent, but it was worth a shot.<BR/><BR/>....now to find someone to ship me a gallon of Mosquito Barrier!! :)Green Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340007347253702714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094985297040698855.post-36741105333426327872007-07-26T17:29:00.000-07:002007-07-26T17:29:00.000-07:00Id call them too - that cant be normal???thats nea...Id call them too - that cant be normal???<BR/><BR/>thats neat about the cinnamon. the only problem with natural treatments is that they dont last that long. i hope you figure something out quickly!!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276435423815783583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094985297040698855.post-20220275950325405312007-07-26T10:14:00.000-07:002007-07-26T10:14:00.000-07:00How much soil was delivered?
