TJ, that's what we did. 50/50 with imitation vanilla. It's cheap.

BTW, I have no personal knowledge of whether it works. Stinging insects don't mess with me. But, Charlene swears by the stuff and every biting stinging bug gravitates to her. If a wasp stings her, she she swells up pretty badly. I was once told that dryer sheets repel mosquitos. Charlene found that they don't work.

Bob, I once heard that only the females bite/sting and only the males make the buzzing sound we hear. However, being hard of hearing, I don't hear anything. So, if you hear a skeeter buzzing around you, no sweat. Evidently, the real problem is when you don't hear any buzzing around you.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
