We have a mosquito problem. Just heard that hanging plastic bags of water will repel them. Has anyone tried this or will I just look hokey?

Water tends to attract mosquitoes. Maybe you should consider installing a bat house on your property. quazen.com/Recreation/Outdoors/Mosquito-... I have had much success with mine after reading about it 2 years ago.

While it doesn't eliminate them completely, it greatly reduces the population. I think this is the safest and most economical way of getting rid of mosquitoes.

I've never heard that story and I'd doubt that it will work at all. Why would it? They love water.

Maybe you can find some alternative idea's here: cleverandeasy.com/Travel/mosquito-repell....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
