Boy, this would have been nice years ago. I live in a rural town with a grassy park/ball park across the street and a corn field down the street. I also have longcoat German Shepherds that I don't want to make sick. The 1st year of West Nile, about the same time my town said they weren't going to spray for mosquitoes, my husband, got bit by a mosquito that snuck in the house. He got West Nile, he had Encephalitis and spent a period of time in the hospital. It took over a year to recover. Unfortunately, at the same time, another man in my town also got West Nile. He spent a year in the hospital and a Rehab. He ended up passing away. Both were healthy and young at the time so this is not a joke. I suspect a mosquito came in on a dog or when someone opened a door. Our town still refuses to spray, the park is infested with mosquitoes and already we have had several confirmed human cases in our county.
I love the idea! I got a $10 electric water dispenser and some old tubing and I made it work the same way. Just applied it yesterday and waiting to see the results
Interesting, I have purchased Cedarcide about a month ago, and trying it now, I got the 1 gallon of the product and it smells amazing. Thanks for sharing all of these tips and tricks. There is another product I purchased from them which is called Cedarshield, which is made for protecting wood, very interesting product, it is a solvent based that has or uses Cedar oil, according to them, you only have to apply it once, draws moisture from wood and protects it from pests.
I have a small yard - maybe 1/3 acre. I purchased the mosquito mister setup last month and so far it has outperformed the regular "yard fogger" we used to use. It does help to have a dedicated leaf blower for it so you don't have to swap the setup often - I actually just bought a new blower just now on Prime Day so I won't have to unhook it from my old blower anymore.
The great thing about cedar based oils is it doesn’t hurt any pollinators at all. So bees and wasps and any other incidental pollinators are not harmed
You are a fountain of useful information. I bought a Ryobi insect mister. Used it once, wroked great. Used it again and somehow it started leaking all the chemical out. What a waist.
ur video ideas are unique and so dope great work i use a spray bottle with vodka, Vanilla extract, peppermint oil, tea tree, rosemary and lemon grass and mist it on myself before i leave the house u can see the mosquitos land on u and run away
I use Mosquito Barrier, which I think you recommended in a video several years ago. It seems to work pretty well....when I'm not too lazy to actually use it....
My favorite question. if you have Mice indoors watch this: My life here changed after this video. The Mice are gone ruclips.net/video/x9_5rp0g6Ro/видео.html, have remained gone, as they simply can't get in. But Voles are another story entirely, not easy to get rid of those guys, they are outside only but can cause a lot of damage. I will keep that one in mind for a future video
Nice Video as usual, I have been using Demand CS, but just got some mosquito dunks to put in any standing water (hard to find in this hot summer though) but thanks for a 3rd option. Probably better for the environment than the Demand CS, but that also takes care of ALL my other bug problems. I may do a combination of cycles
Tried cedarcide oil stuff here in Texas, didnt do much of anything unfortunately. Darn things just love me to death. Even had the misters puff the stuff out all day throughout the yard space. Bifen I/T seems to keep them at bay and doesnt really hurt pets or people.
Bifen is good stuff. "Bifenthrin is an insecticide in the pyrethroid family. Pyrethroids are manmade versions of pyrethrins, which come from chrysanthemum flowers."
I've recently gone down the rabbit hole of mosquito repelling and there are other products that may be equally or more effective based on my research (haven't tried them yet). 1) Mosquito bucket of doom 2) Bio Agents product 3) "Mosquito Killing Ovitrap" . You should try these out!
You should try the Mosquito Magnet. I have never tried it myself, but everyone seems to rave about it online. Costs around 300 bucks if I remember correctly plus the cost of propane.
UPDATE: I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but, I have sprayed the yard like 2-3 weeks ago, and did it again yesterday with the Cerdacide PCO Choice, I have a little less than 5000 square feet and it 1 bottle is not good enough for all this area, if I apply it quick, I could go with 2 applications, but they claim that 1 is good for 5000 square feet, not sure how and I am still waiting for results, still see a lot of mosquitos. Am I doing something wrong?
Yes, it definitely does. When I did the first application of cedarcide: amzn.to/4eWQloJ in the tree covered area gnats were extremely bad. Within 24 hours they were reduced to nearly none. The benefit is many of these guys only live for 3-6 weeks each season so if you get them out of your space even with one treatment, it feels like it worked all season. Once you begin to see them or have them bad, spray and then monitor what its like after if you need to use more.
Essential oils do help but are extremely expensive especially if you want to throughly cover your yard. For the cost they don’t work good enough nor last long enough
Anyone know what the refill concentrate of Vet's Best water to concentrate ratio is? Not on the label because im sure they are expecting everyone to use their sprayer.
@SilverCymbal Thanks for your great reviews. I love these ideas! We live near a cattle pasture. Besides annoying mosquitos and fleas, we also get flies. Will these chemicals help control flies?

They definitely have some rain resistance, and direct sun exposure can affect them too. But I still saw far less bugs in the areas sprayed even at the 3-4 week mark.
who tested that stuff for side effects and what are its effect on non-target species of plants, insects, etc? edit: are they likely to trigger any allergies? I'm a lot more comfortable with permethrin or one of the other pyrethroids (originally derived from chrysanthemums but now synthesized in a more pure and safer form) as they are widely used, and known to be safe and effective when used as directed. (Permethrin is listed as both pesticide and medicine and is on WHO's list of essential medications.)
I found our indoor souce to be the dishwasher that wasn't run very often. Has standing water that you can't see, but mosquitos can find. Run a cycle and keep the door closed tight. Also, run water in all sinks every few days, as the traps hold standing water also. Oh, and ac drain pan can stay wet. All areas that are hard to "see".
Even if I had a lab and somehow had the same group of bugs , etc there are lots of factors. I tried the Vets Best in the larger areas and beds, the Cedarcide and mosquito deleto and they all worked, to the point that I was really shocked. I did NOT at least in my hands on experiements and applications find any of the 3 to be substantially better and they all have similar formulas and company sizes. I would say Cedarcide is the best hose end sprayer version, Vets Best is the best concentrate and Mosquito Deleteo only has a smaller size would be fine for small areas. Sorry long answer
@@SilverCymbal it is fine, appreciated, not anyone takes the time to answer that detailed, i need just for an apartment back "yard" that is about 10 by 14 feet.
I got a used one for a while and it didn't work well for me. Now I haven't extensively worked with them but my take on them is that they can work, but apparently people forget about the consumables and they stop being effective and they are expensive. Maybe there is a way to get some smarts in them to send reminders or something when they need cleaning/propane if they still work that way. I am always looking for a better way, I will keep that on my list to check out their current models again soon
Its not like that, you can smell it (barely) when applying. After that I could not smell it at all, what I smelled when applying smelled pretty good to me, but you wont notice it in my experience anyway.
It shouldn't be that much, that $37 bottle could treat a small space several times. But absolutely, to save money you can do the refills like these amzn.to/4f6CPib : Or go the Mosquito Mister route and use the concentrates amzn.to/3XYI0L6.
How does this compare to your previous mosquito control videos where you use pesticide and syngenta products? Do you still use those? Why did you change?
Demand CS: amzn.to/3zEX46t is a great product, thats what I had been using. While it is extremely safe compared to other options, it can kill bees and other good bugs and is less safe than a natural product. Compared to Demand CS, I found these products to work as well. I purposely waited over a month to share this video so I could be sure. But considering how safe these are, the control they offered was really amazing and you eliminate the other concerns.

Why not place buckets of water with mosquito dunks around your property and break the mosquito breeding cycle? That’s far less effort and cost effective
So...there are folks that 100% swear they do that but every expert and paper on earth states that never happens. They typically just sit and wait and get perched onto a leaf or the end of a tall blade of grass, when a host moves by, ticks can see the movement and they hook on and then the bad stuff happens after that.
You missed the text. That one bottle can treat most yards 3-4x and if you want to save more , do the refills, they cut the cost in 1/2 - Not sure where you live but the mosqutos and ticks are no joke any more. Lyme and EEE are debilitating and if you have kids that don't always notice them it is pretty important to keep in mind. Do what you want to do, but long gone are the days of a tick bite being just a bite, 50% of them in most areas give you lyme if not removed within 48 hours.
