GARBAGE & BLOOD SUCKING MOSQU ITOS.
70 year ago or there abouts there were no” Trash Trucks ” then ..
Our only alernative back then ,was to get an oil drum punch side vent and drain holes in it set it up on 3 stones and burn the paper, even some of that we recycled in the garden , they had not invented nylon and plastics , we burried the tins, the vegatable scraps and egg shells went to fertalize our vegatable garden .
We did not have a problem with mosquitoes like today which caused by standing water boats are a big problem for that where they breed .
We carefully, you hear , burned our paper trash that went up quickly the ashes went in the vegitable garden monthly .
The oil drum fire which used to smolder, a good thing ,and as you know mosquotoes do not like smoke or bright sunlight.
By the way ,the barrell need to be located as not to smoke/stink the house out , or kill the chickens , all birds have very sensative lungs.
During the bright summer days mosquotoes live in hedges and or shaded areas.
However, you should know if you don’t already, the Mosquitioes go for the feet arms hands and legs and even through your clothing .
I am not goin into the biology of the mosquito,let me call them blood suckers, and be done with it .
bees do not like smoke either.
To day it is a diferent story we have got health department rules and the subsiquent negative consequences that go with them.
PART 2 Follow up. to Mosquito bites.
THE GOOD SAMARATAN ACT Applies here .
There are some people who are not affected by mosquitoes.
Your little baby is far from being mosquito free from being bitten by mosquites that unpleasant experiance will bring them to tears .
Mothers need to find that little bump on their body, may i recomend you consult your peodatrition for advisce.
Also may i recomend you get mosquito netting as a preventave mreasure.
Mosquitoes are very aggressive do no stick around for a second bite .
For adults initially when a mosquito,shall we call it bites you , actually they inject a pain killer before drawing blood through their probosis , people never initially feel the itch process untill minutes later. where there is a tendancy to scratch which you must NO DO as finger nails carry bacterior .
My pain killer solution to the bite is and application of vaseline rubbdr well in
( the new advanced O.T.C. one with the maroon label)
Several applicatuions may need to be repeated.
RecentlyI was give a surgestion to apply”non consumable ”
Tea Tree Oil or Witch Hazel
both are only a topical application for releif which i have yet to try
Another sourse for information is the internet.
Prevension is the better solution.
White vinegar work for bee stings after the stinger is SCRAPED away
if Alergic get to the hospital fast . Do not walk bare feet on you lawn.
