<div> <font size="3">If you have mosquitoes you have standing water somewhere. They can breed in as little as a cup of water but they can't breed in humidity alone. I had a terrible mosquito problem. I guessed it was from the drain pipe from the driveway. It was a corrugated plastic pipe and there was not much pitch so I figured I had some low spots that retained water.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I dug this pipe up (about 20 ft) and replaced it with rigid PVC taking care there was at least a little pitch all along the length. This took about a weekend due to the fact that I am not as young as I used to be.But the result is I see very few if any mosquitoes these days. It was a fair amount of work but well worth it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">So check for any drainage pipes and investigate.</font><br>

<br>
<div id="yiv3155816787">
<div dir="ltr">
<div>My garage is separated from my house and is in a shady area. I have a big problem with mosquitos in the garage as the area is humid and I'm getting eaten alive.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any suggestions on getting rid of the problem. Are there spray "bombs" that would work similar to the kind people use for flea problems or is this a problem better left to a pest control company?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for any advice,</div>
<div><br>
