I can't use it so I wear bug suits from cabelas. I do t want to breath your poisonso use it on your property only. I don't want the government dumping pesticides on my property either - but I love the traps. They work okay and get rid of some of those nasty things. I wonder what people did 500 years go.

Ruining marshlands and using DEET used to be the answer, but now they are developing lasers to eradicate mosquitoes and companies like Mosquito Magnet use CO2 to lure mosquitoes into traps.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435902002773684483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-59355232570962615562009-04-28T10:25:00.000-07:002009-04-28T10:25:00.000-07:00Hi Rich,

Out of fear that Greenpiece and other manure-spreading operations will take out boycott or similar hate campaigns against them if they do not fall in line (or worse, if they publicly state their true thoughts about the environmental "movement.") <br /><br />What can be done about such extortion? Nothing - and less than nothing when it is actually fueled by Obama adminisratorsBrian G Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523059818774910427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-36688269345527274732009-04-28T01:42:00.000-07:002009-04-28T01:42:00.000-07:00Good article!

The EPA and the greenies play the tune and the media sings the song... a song demanding that pesticides be eliminated because of theoretical health claims, while real health disasters are taking place all over the world as a result of greenie policies.<br /><br />We constantly hear how pesticides must be eliminated because "it's for the children". The question I keep asking is this; if they are so concerned about the health and lives of children in the first world, why do they despise the health and lives of children in the third world so badly?<br /><br />Children have died or suffered terribly for decades in Africa, Asia, Latin America and South America because of them. They keep telling everyone that we have to go back to nature, yet they all live in countries that are the most modern. They raise their children in what they would have you believe is a world so completely contaminated that it is unfit for human habitation. Why then don’t they take their children and move to areas that have no roads, no cars, no vaccinations, no chlorine in the water, no pesticides for crops and protection from disease transmitting insects, organic farming, no heating or air conditioning and no electricity? There are plenty of areas of the world that fits that description….why don’t they live there if "back to nature" is so great?<br /><br />Everything the greenies say is a lie of omission, a lie of commission or a logical fallacy; and the media repeats those lies, and what is worse, we find that industry is falling for this stuff. Green used to be a color, now it is an infection…just like gangrene.Rich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-9965044350895543842009-04-27T20:38:00.000-07:002009-04-27T20:38:00.000-07:00Hi Mr. Caruba- I do agree that there are many dise...Hi Mr. Caruba- I do agree that there are many diseases that can be wiped out if people were allowed to spray and keep pests under control.. I live in South West Florida, so I know all about mosquitoes (and also originally hailing from Canada- I know the ones which are the size of birds!) I appreciate when the MC comes by twice a summer in those old DC 10s and dump a bunch of smelly gunk which really puts a dent in the pests for a few weeks.<br />That said, like government interferance with all things environmental (thinking along with the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers etc.) I do wish they would leave well enough alone! They messed with dear populations here in Florida (the key deer) to cut down on lyme disease- then found out that most deer killed didn't even have the tick. They about wiped out the population, then years later, introduced northern deer to suppliment the bit of population left here. While the population was down, Florida had a decline of other animals which depended on deer. Living out in the boonies in an old house, I am able to witness nature's way of keeping track of itself. When we have our yearly winter residence mice and rats, our house is relatively clear of roaches. When warm weather is back and the furry pests leave for nearby fields- our roach population goes up. We do have a nice assortment of gekko lizards however which love to dine on roaches 3 times their own length! Same goes with snakes which take care of rodents. We had a wild fire here a couple of years ago which cut down on the snakes (poisonous and non) so we have many more mice, rats and bunnies about. Back to mosquitoes though- I love dragon flies, ditch minnows and frogs because they help out on keeping mosquitoes away.<br />I know we need chemical help- I am not arguing against that, but we really need the government to stay out of buggering with nature- stop saving one species and getting rid of others, or we get terribly out of balance. I love nature, but not at the expense of human life. I believe in the Biblical balance!<br />God Bless you, and I'm sorry this was so long!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778221847847541523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-85645290883142740322009-04-27T19:01:00.000-07:002009-04-27T19:01:00.000-07:00There are about 600 hard cover books of my own prp...There are about 600 hard cover books of my own prperty, surrounding me in my study. <br /><br />All those books are not nearly enough pages to contain all EXISTING EPA regulations. <br /><br />Now write down some things that EPA has done that have been good for society.
