There must be standing water somewhere nearby, though. Mosquitoes don't fly very far from where they hatch, unless it's really windy. Take a walk around with your umbrella next time it rains.

You could call one of those lawn companies and ask exactly what chemicals they will use. But my bet is they're going to kill everything. I'd rather suffer the odd mosquito than breathe the stuff they spray around, myself.

I put a spoonful or so of my used coffee grounds in the cups of my bromeliads. Or if I have grains of Mosquito Dunk left over I sprinkle those in the cups as well. Sometimes it smells like a Starbucks out in the shady border around here . .. Rolling my eyes.
