Mosquito dunks are the absolutely best in getting rid of the problem. Outdoor planters, french drains, bird baths, wet shady areas, gutters- just crumble them up and sprinkle everywhere. They are not poisonous and do not kill good bugs and insects. They work by essentially making mosquitoes sterile. Best thing ever. I live in the tropics and know. Even with the misting system, get to your hardware store and get them. I not only treat my yard, but nearby ditches and areas of retreating water.

Standing water draws mosquitoes…need to get rid of that or nothing will work..

No, please, get rid of the toxic mosquito spray. Plant a ton of lemongrass, it will drive them away. If you're keeping the pond, put mosquito fish in it.

Why don’t you just put some pretty leapord carpeting in your staircase……should have bought your daughters house!!!!

When we moved to a house that had mosquitos in the backyard, I planted lemon-scented pelargoniums, which basically is Citronella oil. The mosquitos disappeared! Also, I mix a 1-2 drops of organic geranium oil with a neutral carrier oil, such as jojoba oil, to prevent any mosquito bites on my skin.

Very excited about the foyer update! Originally I was skeptical about Sharrah painting her entry, but she was 100% correct. I think your space will open up magically when it gets painted. And with the mirrors? Gonna be fab! Good luck on all this and thanks for bringing us along.

Please give some assurance that the ingredients in the mosquito mister spray are safe for good insects. If it contains pyrethrins and permethrin, it may kill beneficial insects such as honeybees, ladybugs, butterflies, and other non-target species.

Won’t that white paint show scuff marks????

Is that fellow saying the misting system will also kill bees and other pollinators? Not good. 😢 How about you get that pond going again and add a tiny solar fountain to get the water moving. There are also mosquito pucks you can put in standing water and kills mosquito larvae.

I know how awful mosquitoes can be but I hope and pray you’re not killing bugs who are beneficial to your yard and environment. Poisons are bad and generally kill bad and good 😢

SHOUT OUT TO THESE TRADESMEN WHO DO THIS WORK. We couldn’t survive without them.

I live in Louisiana and we have a million mosquitoes too.

If the mosquito mist kills the little demons, what does it do to humans who breathe it??? But the entryway will look spectacular when it's finished. Can't wait!

Three years went by SOOOOO fast!!! Seem like it was just yesterday that you shared you were moving!! Happy Life!!!

I live in a city which has a separate landing strip at the airport for mosquitoes 😅. Have you tried mosquito dunks? They are little discs you put in standing water to kill mosquito larvae and each 1 lasts a month. Only kills the mosquito larvae ... not other beautiful insects like butterflies.

Love the decision to paint the woodwork in the entryway to brighten it up. Older homes can be quite dark which is not always how we want to live now. You have transformed your home in those 3 years 🌟

I’m buying my first home. It’s a shoebox, old and I have no budget to do anything to increase the size or update anything. I’m about to get very crafty and creative.

❤❤❤I’m so happy you're staying in your beautiful home and am looking forward to all the new changes in the works. Paint the stairs, and keep the molding thick!! Christmas 2024 is going to be a show-stopper, I'm sure. ❤❤❤

I live in Florida & had a mosquito problem. I called my county, they came out, looked all over the property & sprayed. They also went to my neighbors properties & listed all the things they could do to avoid the problem, ie standing water, pots lying around with water, etc. What I learned was there are daytime & night time mosquitos, so I had them in the house during the day. Once we all did our due diligence, problem solved! Also, I installed bat houses in my trees😊 they eat millions of mosquitos every night❤
