This product seems to be more of a Facebook oriented outfit in re advertising. There are, in fact, a large number of retailers that presumably are carrying it in their stores. Most all of them are feed stores or building suppliers, that sort of thing. The two closest to my location are in Goldthwaite and Weatherford with Boyd and Springtown just a smidgen further. I didn't see any retail outfits that look like chains, e.g. no Tractor Supply stores. Looked like locally owned places. Maybe it will show up closer to me.

It was actually my niece in the Longview area who posted about it. She's going to try it out and posted about it. If it works get some for the grandkids in Louisiana Big Grin . I don't think she much cares if hubby and other adults get bit or not! She has had a couple of her FB friends that have tried it reply to her query, so I'm watching to see if some more that have actually used it chime in.

I'm really skeptical, though. To their credit the company has left some extremely negative reviews of the product on their FB page and those were the ones I was most interested in. I might not be interested at all but the mud swallows aren't here this year. I don't know why. They should already be nesting. The barn swallows are here now and they are always several weeks later. I'm not seeing any mud swallows. Both eat mosquitoes, but mud swallows usually have 3-4 nesting pairs that raise two families a season. When they are feeding the offspring, there are very few mosquitoes around the house. There never has been more than one nesting pair of barn swallows and they haven't always been successful. Maybe if I gave up and let them come in the garage to nest like they want Shrug! . Man, they are stubborn about wanting to nest there.
