Actually, am going to add a belfry (cupola) to a little storage shed in back yard.  Can't get permission for the bell, though.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Luckily, if they do decide to come after me the bites go away within a few hours, if that long.  I do like the idea of more bats though, I've always liked sitting out and watching them dine.

I've noticed two distinct types of mosquito bites in midtown.  The ones Im seeing right now produce a small bite that takes about an hour to rise, and last a week,
then there's the more common one that quickly produces a huge welt but is gone in about 2 hours.

I spray Picaradin to slow them down,
and afterward inside I rub Benadryl creme on the spots they found I missed.

I use this stuff.

http://www.mosquitobarrier.com/

It is powerful garlic and drives them away for about a month. No misquitos are killed, they are just moved away.

Another plus is that my neighbors also think I must be a good cook.
Power is nothing till you use it.

Repels those that don't get doused in it.  It apparently, by claim on the website, kills the adults on contact.

QuoteMosquito Barrier is a three pronged attack:

(1) It kills the adult mosquitoes.

(2) The garlic coated plants keep mosquitoes out of the area.

(3) It suffocates any mosquito larvae in standing water, such as puddles, under decks, water in tin cans or depressions in lawn, etc.
