2010 appears to become the year of the mosquito. Reports are indicating that we haven't even reached the peak of the mosquito hatch yet. And since everyone is already dreading about going outdoors, an increase in mosquito activity is not what we want to hear.
The roughs around each fairway have been treated with the same active ingredient that can be found in Cutter's BackYard. I have also treated the wooded edges of the golf course. These treatments do not impact any mosquitoes that are flying or residing in tree canopies. But, this should provide some relief from the mosquitoes and other biting insects.
"Some relief" does not mean 100%. Surviving mosquitoes will continue to search for unexpecting golfers in mid-swing. If you are looking for additional protection, please consider lotions, wipes or pump bottles of insect repellent rather than an aerosol type product. If you prefer the aerosol type, DO NOT apply aerosol insect repellent while standing on greens, tee or fairways. The propellant in the can will burn grass blades.
