I'm at it again with another little project. With West Nile and Zika all over the news, and the mosquitoes all over our me at our new home, I decided to do something about it. My first plan was to hire an exterminator to come for a monthly mosquito fogging treatment, but when I saw how much that costs ($50-$100/month), I decided that wasn't for me.
I spotted an exterminator fogging someone's yard and struck up a little conversation. While doing so, I asked about his fogger. I was amazed... it was essentially a high volume pump sprayer like you'd buy at Home Depot strapped to a blower.
I can build that, I thought.
So, I did.
The total cost for me was under thirty bucks, and my version works quite well. It might actually work better since less of my poison is being lost to the wind since mine doesn't go though an "atomizer."
Here's a quick video showing how to build it...
I sprayed my yard a week ago, and am still mosquito free. This is huge. You see, before, if I got out of my car to come into the house, by the time I got through the door, I'd be bitten multiple times. Not any more!!!
Praise the Lord!
