Question for the homeowner-types: do any of you have the Mosquito Magnet or a similar high-catch anti-biting-insects device? If so, what do you have and what do you think of it? We need something - our backyard is utterly unusable because of the skeeters!

I know what you're talking about. I have a friend who lives on a horse property (sans horses), and with the irrigation and such, they get mosquitoes BAD. She was going to invest in one of those contraptions, but in the end, she just called the county, and they sent out a truck to spray/mist the whole neighborhood with bug killer. You might want to try that before investing in anything expensive. A lot of city and county agencies are going with this route to keep down the number of cases or West Nile Virus, so you might get lucky.

Good luck!

I know they do that here, too, but I'd rather drop 300$ or so than have the chemicals where the little ones play. Jon's still very young, and while I'm less paranoid about Harry breathing the stuff, it would settle into the mulch, and I don't want Jon ingesting & inhaling a lot of it.
