    Lee County, Florida, has an entire fleet of airplanes spraying.
    After Hurricane Charlie damaged most of the airplanes, it was just a few days and the mosquito's ruled again.
    Now it's the chiggers and no-see-ums everywhere.

    Not to mention all of the shhhtuff holding water after Charlie to make breeding grounds for the little suckers.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Size of average lots in metro you would need every neighbor around you to spray at same time or you would need spray twice a week for couple weeks your yard depending on conditions.
    50 Acres?! I wish...maybe if some things fall into place I'll have to worry about a lot that size.

    Cheaper if you buy in bulk. Your yard would probably use half a container once a month. Its equivalent to what they'd apply

    Find a propane trap you like and fire that thing up often. Spend the rest of your budget on propane. This will get ones from the neighborhood that dont spray

    I have used the cutter before and it seemed to work okay, I'll just do that again.

    I have never seen the propane thing and I am definitely intrigued
