Well, speaking only personally of course, I much prefer the Raid® Wasp & Hornet Killer product, which "...can spray up to 22 feet". Nothing like a portable can of neurotoxin with a directed nozzle on it, I always say (but please, use in moderation). Or as Winston Churchill said, "Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement".

You would prefer the bugs?

You should invest in an environmental suite with its own oxygen supply with immunity to any germs, gas or other particulates. Then apply as directed.

Let me just weigh in here, I'd stay in the treated area just for the pleasure of seeing Florida mosquitos bite the dust. It's been a very wet summer here which tries the endurance of the best of us. Just taking that garbage out is an ordeal.

Mark Twain had it right when he said that mankinds two best inventions were window screens and painless dentistry.

I've always felt,if it ain't toxic...it ain't working! I spray weed-killer,bug stuff,fog for mosquitoes,..and just today used up all my old oil (from changing oil in SUV,truck etc) to help burn all the tree branches I limbed.No ill effects that I can tell..altho,Dion is starting to make sense.Hmmmmmmmm,maybe I should get a respirator!

Thanks for the tip Vitruvius. 22 feet ay? Now I know what to use for bear spray. That illegal pepper crap never impressed me anyway; and the local police would rather shoo them away from my grandchildren than hurt the those beautiful cuddly Poor endangered land sharks.

"Motor oil" Sammy? Do you mean Diesel fuel? Isn't that (MO) what the RCMP used when they tried to burn the Quebec barn? :)

But back to the subject - when all of you were youngsters - us Sk backwoods people used DDT to get rid of bugs and it worked.

Disposable spray paint suit, remote air supply. Give 'em hell.

"3. When spraying in garages, be careful that spray does not contact painted surfaces of vehicles."

Gawd forbid one should breathe it in !

deet is my colone,

I was working in an alfalfa field last month, when the landowner came tearing up on an ATV, wearing a gas mask. He told me I had to leave immediately because he'd just sprayed some very nasty insecticide. Talk about a scary feeling. I'd been walking around for about half and hour, and was feeling a bit queasy. This stuff was so strong, we weren't supposed to be in that field for a week after it's applied.

He made a comment that sort of fits with this story. He said we should have noticed the "sweet smell" in the air. I had been enjoying my morning because of the pleasant odor, and the fact there were no mosquitos.
