I got my bottle of Cykick insect killer this weekend. I sprayed all of the bushes and the entire lawn in hopes of controlling the mosquito population. It is supposed to be mixed as strong as 5 oz per 100 gallons. I mixed it at .5 oz per gallon, which is about the smallest amount I can measure anyway. It seems to have helped some, but not like I would have expected. When you walk up to some of the bushes, it was like a swarm of those big mosquitoes... and it still is to some extent. I thought the residue on the plants would continue to kill. Perhaps not.
I also finally got some vegitation killed to get the weeds popping up in the planter beds, cracks and in the woods. That stuff worked well. It's dead now for sure. That should keep the vines down in the woods now that I cleared it out.
We mowed the lawn for the first time this season too. It looks pretty good. The back yard has some weeds in spots, but the front yard looks great. I need to get some more gas so I can make a batch of 2 cycle gasoline so we can edge and trim.
The light fixture in the upstairs bathroom fell off the wall! It was mounted oddly, so I tried to mount it to the electrical box, but the box was some sort of plastic and cracked. I got some new anchors and fixed it though.
