Thought you wanted a tile roof?

Bats don't eat much in the way of mosquitoes, they're very small and not very nutritional. Our old neighbor was a biologist of some sort, that's what she said.

Go to Lowes and get the bug spray stuff that screws onto your garden hose, then go nuts in the yard. Pay special attention to damp/dark/still areas where mosquitoes can rest. Repeat about once every two-three weeks. And get rid of ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that holds standing water. That goes double for poorly sloped gutters, catch basins in the patio or driveway, the little cup holes in the tops of coolers, etc. If you're getting bitten by Asian tigers, they're breeding within about 150ft of you.

Doesnt work so well with a FUCKING POND in the yard. Or when you ned to spray 5+ acres.
BTW I call BS on the 150' Ive watched the mf'ers follow me on the lawn mower across the entire place.

Ive been reading up on bats and purple martins both. Its not so much that they eat enough of them to make an impact, its the deterrent factor. The SC state birds usually leave the area when predation makes continum of the species unlikely.

maybe i should have said flying insects instead.
it's hard to get rid of standing water with a 1 acre pond in the front yard.
 
I have a slow moving creek in my yard, some of it veeery slow moving, so I am not confident spraying will work

Well, the two of you may have made poor real estate choices as far as bug control is concerned. Everybody else may benefit from the advice, though. :flipoff2:
 
i'm not really complaining about the bugs(except ticks) we have 11 acres, 8 of which are wooded,there is no way to control standing water for me. i also don't know many people that think about bug control when looking at houses(unless there in the house)
