you have no clue!!! i bet you i was in the yard for MAYBE 2 minutes and killed at least 50 skeeters and thats just what i killed, nevermind what i just swated at

Long story short, my parents own a campground with lots of standing water.

There is (or at least used to be) a company in Ft. Erie Ontario that sold beneficial bugs, but for the life of me I can't recall the name, maybe a Google search will produce a hit. Chances are you'll have to order them in Canada, so the U.S. bug places I know of won't help any.

If you are not able to find any I would sudjest getting one of the propane powered skeeter traps. They arent the cheapest but they are supposed to work really good.

It might be your only alternative..

Good luck

I pass the place about twice a day but have never been in it.
Good Luck, Terri

you may want to try the Natural Resources here in Ontario as they release them in the summer to help with the skeeters. here is Ottawa #613-995-0947
