Question for your wife:

Can we use bats or nematodes to fight this return?

I spray my lawn with beneficial nematodes. I saw some small decline in the number of mosquitoes born in my yard but it doesn't stop mosquitoes from surrounding areas. My next move is to install a bat house on my house.

So I asked and she said it seems sane, but academically the answer is basically "no idea".

Her advice:

- Remove standing water anywhere you can

- Use nets/screens on open windows/doors to reduce access

- Avoid outdoor activities at dawn/dusk when they are most likely to feed

- Don't plant bushes near outdoor seating (apparently they hide there during the day, but will choose to feed outside normal hours if it's convenient)
