Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Get some mosquito dunks.
He just break them up and pieces, or they have it already and pieces, and you put it into the water. When the mosquitoes lay their eggs in that water, the dunks, keep the lava from being able to grow. So it kills it.
During the monsoon seasons, in Arizona, we would walk our dogs late at night. There will be several areas that would have standing water, and I would notice the mosquitoes would be out in force.
I bought some of those mosquito dunks, and I would throw them into any source of standing water that I could find nearby, while walking her dogs. It really helped.
You can get them online. Amazon.
I saw an ad for them in back of the Farmers Almanac, was thinking about them, yes, we always have mosquitos, I live right across the road from some deep woods, and in early am and at dusk its the worst, but this year due to the floods and the uneven terrain on my property, the water just had nowhere to go, so the back area where it slopes just can't drain, in 35 years, its the worst its ever been, it says its harmless for pets and such, the back is all fenced in for goats and hens, 3/4 acre area, and even the goats are driven back into the barn on high ground. Thank you
